terests of the Evening Press, the
jamestown capital, the Valley City
Evening Times-Record, and in addi-
ton has something like score of
country papers which he will supply
with stuff" Packard claims to be in
position to connect with the pay roll
and in such an event will have the ad-
vantage over many of the other fell
lows who are here-including the
members of both houses-in that he
will not have to work very much for
his money. Editor Kellogg of the
jamestown Alert, was among the
spectators who came in to see the
opening of the game and to visit with
the legislators. EX-Speaker George
Pierce is among the visitors who
would rather be able to look on than
to act He was not a candidate for
reelection, neither did he try to Sc
cure the nomination, though it is said
that he would have had walk over
for both. He states now that he is
merely member of the Third
House" and willing to serve in that
alone. Representative Butts came in
Sunday and was at once surrounded
by his host of admirers who inquired
after his health and the reason for his
late arrival. He claimed that he had
been called to Washington twice in the
last ten days and that the travelling
took up SO much of his time that he
was not able to reach Bismarck be-
fore. He had kick to register, how
ever, in that he had been in the city
fifteen minutes already at that time
and not a single man had told him
what to do or how to VOTE Several
referred him to the Sorley headquar-
ters in the Pacific where John Sorley
of the Seventh was doing the boss
stunt to perfection. but the Major
refused to accept the suggestion.
Another interesting character
around the lobbies is Judge Engerud
OF the supreme court. Judge Morgan
is here also but he is looking after
the interests of the court. Several in
quiries have been made as to what the
other judge was doing.
Alfred Blaislell, the new secretary
of state, arrived Saturday and will
soon be comfortably settled in his new
quarters. He is one Of the congenial
fellows who can always keep friend
and who has the ability and the knack
of making them almost every time he
meets an individual With the sena-
tors probably the most popular fell
low is Lieutenant Governor Lewis. He
is a man of splendid presence, is good
natured and has every qualification
necessary to make a good presiding Of
ticer and there is not single doubt
but that he will more than make good.
He is popular with all parties and all
factions and it is conceded that his
rulings and decisions will be just as
fair and impartial as it is possible for
such things to be.
Senator Turner drew the old seat
formerly occupied by Senator Bacon.
and he was decidedly proud of the fact.
One of the things that strikes the
newspaper representatives, is the fact
that every member OF both houses
seems to recognize the power of the
press and every one assures you that
he will do all in his power to assist
in the gathering of news and the Civ
ing of the actual work of the legisla
ture to the people of the state.
1t must be emphasized that the i'm
| proved hotel facilities at the capital
city this year are highly appreciated
by those who must make their homes
| here for the next sixty days. People
have a choice and there is not the
crowding as has been experienced in
the past, and those Nho want quiet and
rest have had the opportunity to OBJ
tain it. Mr.. Tatley's cafe, on the Eu-
ropean plan. is net quite ready, but
worlllnen are pushing things along.
