Politics in Hennepin

:
over seven weeks away, there is as yet
no general interest in the prospects of
the next Hennepin legislative delega-
ton. Hennepin has sixteen house mem
bers and seven senators, a total Of
twenty-three. So far only twenty-five
candidates have filed. In one district,
the thirty-eighth, none has fled and in
three others not enough candidates have
filed to fill the district delegation. IS
In the thirty eighth district there may
be some interest later on. The district
has been wholly OF largely democratic
for years. The last two sessions, how
ever, the district has had one republican
house member. John T. MCGOWAN, the
senator, democrat, has served four
terms. The republicans Of the district
are determined to capture the district.
An effort is being made to induce Karl
De Laittre, the republican house mem
Der two years ago, to run for the senate.
He is well-known and liked in the dis
trict, and as the democrats are likely
to have squabble in the district over
the nomination, he should win. Nc
Gown is likely to run again and will
ton by P. F. Herbert, the democratic
house member. Of the last session. John
Murphy, q well-known republican in the
district, Is urged as candidate for the
house. Part Of the district is on the
west side Of the river in the third
ward, and second house candidate is
sought in that part Of the district.
There Is little prospect Of any active
doings in the thirty-ninth district, which
comprises the second and ninth wards
and the two Of st. Anthony E. F.
served two terms and is a candidate for
the senate this year. There is no seri-
GUS opposition. Comstock comes from
the ninth ward, and by agreement the
house members have been given to the
second. James Everington has already
| filed for the house, and B. H. Timber
lake, who served in the house last SEES
sion, will be in the field again. Nc
democratic candidates have appeared.
Two candidates have filed In the for.
tletE district, comprising the fourth
ward: j. F. Calhoun, who has served
ocks is candidate for the house. Sew
eral other house men are mentioned
among them Fred B. Wright, who is 8
Weu-known republican worker. The dis
trict is too strongly republican to Offer
much hope to democratic candidates.

the fifth and sixth wards, has foul
house members and one senator. Siz

yards and part Of the country, vii
seen, former house member, has flee
for. the senate against Henry J. Giert
i sen, the present senator. There arr
fractional troubles in the district, il
which James A. Peterson is taking
4 hand. W. I. Nolan, twice house mem
ber,. will probably be a candidate again

| spectively, have filed. - : -
=, The. forty-third district, comprising
the eighth and thirteenth wards AM
part of the country, will have q livel,
senatorial contest. E. E. Smith, tn,

filed for the senate, and the presen
senator, L. E. Jepson, will not be
candidate. T. J. Reid Of the tent
ward and Alexander Mcneil Of Day
ton have filed for the house. There /
a desire to distribute honors, givin
