dern and the politicians are rather di-
videl in their locations. Senator La
Moure Is located at the Pacific, and
John Sorley, the second edition of the
Pembina statesman-the. new boss of
state politics-is keeping open house
at the same place. In fact the story is
told that the two are rather closely
aligned in certain lines, but this lacks
confirmation. Senator Hanna of Cass,
we'll known as the chairman of the re-
publican state central committee, is
stopping at the Pacific, and the lobby
there presents an animated appearance
with the caucuses being held in the
such caucuses are more remarkable
than are the number of attendants.
Three or four members often caucus
and determine what the distiny of the
party will be on certain lines, while
in an adjoining room few others are
deciding that the reverse of this
course is the only thing which will
save the state. Such is the condition
of things in the early days of the
meeting of the Tenth Legislative as
sembly of North Dakota.
At this time socially all the interest
is centered in the legislative ball
which will be one of the great events
in the social world, so far as the state
capital is concerned Not only the
fact that it will be the social event
which will launch new political per-
sonage into power, but because of the
interest-if not curiosity-which at
taches to the incoming of democra-
tic governor in a republican state is
enough to whet the social appetite to
the keenest point possible. 1t will be
largely state affair. The guests will
come from all sections of the state,
and many are already arriving for that
event.
Grand Forks Politicians.
A number of Grand Forks people
are looking after some of the political
questions which they think they can
help solve. Among the first on the
grounds was B. S. Brynjolfson, the
late chairman of the state central
committee. He has declined to state
what he has in mind, but it is pos
sible that he is looking after some Of
the things with which the party in the
Legislature and especially the new
governor will be confronted with. In
spite of the assertions made in the
late Minot convention, Brynjolfson is
one of the safe and conservative coun-
selors Of his party, and while he is
not spectacular, he is decidedly wise
and far-seeing. and his advice is being
sought by those of that political faith
who are trying to build a political
business block upon four by four
foundation.
State Workers.
A few of the old-timers are here
among them being Jim Shea who is
any writs on the federal government
on the democratic part as one rising
young statesman of the democratic
faith who halls from the proximity Of
the state metropolis, claimed he was.
Senator Cashel, who carried the state
for the democrats, is here and is be-
ing congratulated on all sides for his
management of the campaign. Severai
of the republicans, including Senator
| LaMoure and Alex McKinzie are trying
to purchase his receipt or induce him
| to disclose the brand he used. but he
! refused all information, and says he
will have to try the thing several
