DEMOCRATS PLAN TO
CAUCUS THIS MORNING
Minority Will Determine Man to Receive
Honorary Senatorial Vote

The Democrats of the house and senate
failed to caucus yesterday, and while the
Democratic members of the house of rep
reSentatiyeS are expected to hold a eau
Gus this morning and decide upon a cam
didate for speaker, the Democratic Sena-
tors may decide upon voting for the Re
publican nominees for the elective posi-
tions in the senate.
A number of Democratic members of
the house met informally at the Mer-
chants hotel yesterday, but decided to
await the action of the Republican eau
Gus before going into a caucus to select a
candidate for speaker. On the minor po-
sitions it is not believed that the Demo-
cTatSswil present formal candidates, but
will vote for the Republican slate indorsed
last night. The Democratic senators
have taken no action, and it is not prob
able that they will put a full ticket in the
field when the senate meets today for
organization.
Members of both houses are discussing
the probable selection of a man upon
whom to unite for the honor of receiving
the Democratic vote for United States
senator. NJ. J. O'Laughlin, Dr., J.. H.
Dorsey and some other house members
yesterday expressed a preference for Capt
w. H. Harries, of Caledonia. Other MEM
bers have declared for E. O. Champlin, OF
Blue Earth county. Mr.. Champlin Is a
former speaker of the house. and has
long been prominent in state politics.
Others desire to honor Congressman John
Lind, of Minneapolis, while Mayor Rob-
ert A. Smith, of St.. Paul. and F. G..
Winston, OF Minneapolis, are spoken of as
men worthy the honor.
