Active than Ever Before and Hope to
Land Some Members.
With only little over two weeks !
remaining until election day, Nov. 6,
the campaign is waking up some in the
seven legislative districts Of the county.
Altho the Hennepin delegation will be
for the most part new timber it will
nevertheless be strongly republican.
The prohibitionists. entertaining high
hopes OF landing place. or two, are
putting up hot campaign and are
playing some politics.
At least four and possibly five of the
old senatorial delegation will be back.

seen of the fortysecond last session is
the republican senatorial nominee this
year. The four house members who
will return are all republicans.
Tho results are thought to be little
in doubt for the most part, there is still
some lively work in several districts.
In others the nomination is equivalent
legislative ticket in every district and
in some districts the democrats have no
candidates.
The Thirty-eighth District.
In the thirty-eighth district compris-
ing all Of the first ward and part Of
the third ward with one precinct Of
the tenth the republicans have but one
candidate for the three places. J. B.
republican, is a candidate for the house
and is making a strong campaign. All
three democratic candidates are from
the first ward too, but it is believed
that Murphy will hold his own in the
first and run way ahead Of the others
on. the west side of the river in the
third and tenth wards. This district
had one republican member two and
cratic. John 7. MCGOWAN, the demo
cratic senator, has no opposition and is
sure to return. The two democratic
house members won their nominations
after primary fights in which two other
democrats were defeated.
Thirty-ninth District.
In the thirty-ninth district which in
, cludes the second and ninth wards and
one town the senatorial nomination is
: still in doubt and is in the supreme
! court for final settlement. E. F. Com
stock, the present senator, and J. T.
Elwell, new man, are the contestants.
, Whichever wins is elected as there is
! no democratic candidate.
There are no democratic candidates
for the house from the thirty ninth,
but W. G.. Calderwood, a prohibition
candidate who made a hard fight two
years ago., is out to land either Timber
, lake or Conroy, the republican candi-
dates.
