Hennepin county will have an almost
entirely new delegation in the house next
year, and The situation offers an excel
lent opening for some wide-awake Mime
apolitans to step in and take a leading
part in the legislature. For one reason
and another nearly all of the old house
delegation are stepping out OF service.
The 1905 delegation was a strong one,
and the greater part of the sixteen
house members from Hennepi1i We're
possessed of experience and special quail
1hcat1ons for the work. Unless a special
effort is made to bring out good men for
the places, Hennepin is in danger of go
ing into the house next time with a dele
cation that will rank low in influence and
accomplish little
In the thirty-ninth district it is not
likely that either Byron IL Timberlake
or II. 3. Chamberlain will return. The
latter, has declared himself out Of it pos
it1vely, and Mr.. Undertake is more
likely to be brought into the aldermanic
race than to return to the legislature.
In the fortieth district W. P. Roberts is
| expected to run for the senate if he is a
candidate for anything. while Sherman
smith has already announced himself for
sheriff. In the forty-first w. D. Wash
BURN, Jr., Is thinking of running for
congress, while W. w. Bardwell Is likely
| to be candidate for municipal judge
Messrs. Mannix and Lennon may return.
| W.. l. Nolan, who has represented the
| forty-hrst for two sessions, refuses to
be candidate, tho he has been strongly
lmportuned to run for the senate. Manly
Fosseen will probably run again, either
for the senate or house. In the forty.
third Carleton L. Wallace will try con-
| cluslons again with E. E. Smith for the
senate, and L. H. Johnson may also enter
the field. In the forty-four George W.
Armstrong, Who has been credited with
ambitions in the direction of the senate
Is likely to run instead for county com
missioner. John G. Lund, who served his
hrst term last winter with credit, will, in
all probability, be found entered in the
congressional fight next summer. Karl
I De Lafttre, the republican member from
the th1rty-eighth, may run again, and II
returned, will take a prominent part in
the next session. It is evident however
delegation which will need filing up mex,
4 year. :@. So 8 ,: ,.@'
Efforts to get an expression from j. F
Jacobson concerning the governorshiI
are said to have failed. He is non-com.
INITIAL even to his friends, and If he has
any thought of running for the nomina.
ton for governor he has not betrayed it
Experience has made him cautious about
i entering a state convention contest, ant
J unless he is given the strongest kind o.
a. calling out it is not believed that hi
will consent to be a, candidate. 49,
