NO DEARTH OF CANDIDATES.
From Chief Clerk Of House Down 10
Man Who Does Nothing But
Look Pleasant

9rom Mondays Daily.
The "pickings' in the legislature look
good to lot of folks. The speakership
is not the only thing the house members
have to think about. There are score
of small jobs to fill and there is not any
dearth of timber Just now the mem.
bers are deluged with applications.
Ramsey county, according to the state
pie counter. Of those who served the
senate and house in various capacities
two years ago, every one is candidate
for reappointment, and they have been
supplemented by a new crop that is
large in numbers.
David Hammergen, who served as a
house member from the first ward, st.
Paul, in the last session, wants clerk
ship, and his chances are said to be
good. Archie Vernon is making a strenu-
Gus fight for the chief clerkship. Henry
Frundt is after the job of enrolling
clerk. C. w. Farnham is after his old
place as clerk of the senate judiciary
committee, and William Howard, q new
one, wants clerksblp with the same
body. Another who wants to be enroll
ing clerk in the senate is Frank Hol-
comb, also from St. Paul.
Then there is the position of postmas-
ter. Albert H. Spring of Rochester who
held the place down two years ago,
wants it again. He has lively compe-
tition in Mrs. Jolly, of st. Paul, who Of
ficiates in that capacity now at the state
capitol, and Mrs. Soule, and Mrs. Van.
diver, assistant to Spring two years ago.
And there are others.
The position of sergeant-at-arms of
the house has only one known candidate
to date, and he is Barney Seiz, of Red
wing. He was assistant sergeant.at-
arms two years ago.
The chief clerkship of the house is
one of the best paying jobs on the list,
and it has three seekers in Archie Yer
non of st. Paul, and A. E. L. johnson
and j. T. Jones, the two latter of Min
neapolis. 1t is said the number will
later be supplemented by several from
the country districts.
Of those seeking places on the senate
side of the house, little is known, as
one member is generally made the GUS
todian of their wants. He in this case
is Senator Ed Smith of Minneapolis, and
when the proper time comes, If all are
agreeable, the patronage will be distri-
buted equitably. He is understood to
have received applications from large
number of persons, nearly five for every
Job, he remarked the other day.
Sam Langum of Preston, together
with +. A. Nelson, of Hallrock, are seek
ing the position of secretary of the SEN
ate. Nelson is said to have dropped out
of the game since he learned that Lang

HISTORY OF MASSACRE.
Bryant's Story of the Affair to Be
Republished.

st. Peter, Dec. Ga new edition of
Bryant's ''History of the Sioux Massa-
Gre" which has been out of print for
nearly twenty years, is soon to be pub
by DR.. c.. Eugene Bryant of Muskogee,
|. T., a son of the author, and he is
now in st. Peter arranging for its re-
appearance, although he will direct the
greater part of the work from his home
Bryant's history was written by c. s.
Bryant, one of st. Peters early at
torneys. He opened an office for the
practice of law a few years before the
massacre, and as soon as the uprising
was quelled began compiling data for
the volume. 1t gives the Sioux horror
of 1862 in detail, and is regarded as the
most complete work on the Indian trou.
BILE ever written.
DIR. c. E. Bryant, who will superintend
the distribution of the new edition, is
himself an experienced writer and edi-
tor. In the old days in st. Paul, be.
fore the consolidation of-tnaa. Pioneer
and the Press, DR.. Bryant worked for
both papers. After co:npleting his course
in medicine he founded the Physician
and Surgeon at Ann Arbor, Mich, and
has since edited two medical journals
at Denver, Colo.
As the original edition of the history
has been entirely exhausted, Dr. Bryant
and the other heirs of C. S. Bryant will
produce another, bringing out at least
500 and perhaps 1000 copies.

Ak WILL SWING SOME.
Changes Will BE Made In the Dairy
and Food Department.

From Fridays Daily.
st. Paul Dispatch The ak is due to
swing in lively fashion in the vicinity
of the state dairy and food department
with the coming of the new year. No
less than five of the present employees
will be decapitated, and possibly more.
Those slated to 90 include Milton
Trenhan, the present assistant dairy
commissioner; Frank Shrewsbury, dairy
expert; Frank Graham, cheese expert,
and j. G. Fowler and j. G. Winkler, in
spectors. A lack of money is assigned
as the cause. The one known democrat
of the number is Milton Trenham.
After conference with Commissioner
Slater, held yesterday, Governor John
son announced that Mr.. Slater would be
reappointed. Mr.. Slater then announced
that some of the office force would
probably be dropped temporarily because
OF lack of funds. He gave no names,
but the above list is generally agreed
t. be correct.
The contemplated dropping of the five
men will be . hard blow to them as on
Jan. Id, the civil service law, passed by
the last legislature, for the benefit of
this particular department will 90 into
effect. They win not now benefit from
it. Could they have passed the exam

practically perpetuated their tenure of
office
Governor Johnson has announced that
as far as he was concerned there would
be no changes of heads or employees in
the educational, banking or insurance
departments. All of the present incum-
lents he said would be reappointed.
This leaves in the air the labor de-
partment and the state game and fish
commission. As to the latter it looks
very much as if S. F. Fullerton, the
present executive agent, would have to
go. Much pressure is being brought tt
bear to have him removed.
Friends of j. G. Fowler will learn
with regret that he will be dismissed.
