For the first time in twenty four
years, Hennepin county man will pre-
side over the lower house Of the Min
nesota legislature. Lawrence H. John
son, A years old, bridge contractor,
and member from the forty third dis
trlct for the fourth consecutive term,
IS the man who will be, speaker this
winter. His selection was informally
agreed to by the members-elect in St..
Paul last evening, and Mr.. johnson will
now struggle with the task of making
up the house committee assignments.
AS forecast in T h e Journal yes
terday, the opposition to Johnson went
to pieces before the day was over. It
was impossible to unite the field with
out losing votes to johnson, and as
soon as the effort to do this was made,
opposition worked hard thru the day to
hold their members in line. but by the
time their caucus met it was plain to
everybody that the fight was over.
Webb and Rines, from Hugo's district,
had asked the Duluth man to release
them, and were for johnson. The four
Hennepin insurgents, w. I. Nolan, Len
non, Nimocks and Murphy, came in line
next. They had promised johnson that
they would give him the nomination,
and they realized that the time had
come to redeem that pledge. Then the
first district caucused with its .candi-
date, w. A. Nolan, and it was .discov-
cred that in case he Withdrew in favor
of Rockne or Tighe, most Of the dele
cation would go to johnson. Then the
members from the first, third and
eighth got together and tried to frame
up some kind of a combination. The
end was too apparent, and the meeting
adjourned without any action. Hugo
left the meeting and came into the
hotel lobby, where he announced his
withdrawal from the race. The members

settled the business, for it gave John
son a clear majority beyond question.
