The senatorial appointment took on
additional interest yesterday when
procession Of Democrats that took
several minutes to pass a given point
marched on the city and spent some
time in a discussion Of senatorial
possibilities and ought-to-bes with
Governor Burke and local represen'
tatives of the still unterrifed, but
now somewhat divided democracy.
The delegation was headed by Geo.
E. Duis, formerly mayor of Grand
Forks, and now state senator front
Grand Forks county. George has
been mentioned, along with a number
of other residents of the state, for
tho senatorial succession, and he adj
mitted yesterday that he was accus-
toned to the sight of toga and that
to wear one would not at all terrify
him.
Representing the democracy of the
state senate, he was accompanied by
President Joe Kelly of the Farmers
Railroad, who represented the agrl-
cultural railroad growth and devel-
opment of the upper end of the stale
and admitted that he was willing to
help solve the difficult problem Of

the suggested plan of naming an in

that the democrats have the appoint

Mr.. Duis was non-committal be-

DEMOCRATS GATHER IN THE CITY
and TALK OVER THE SITUATION

delegation coming out on the train
and there was no way for him to
get off the train, or compel the other
democrats to get off. He drew
pay check and may have poured some
oil on the waters, but nothing official
appears in his inspection records
about it. d
Max Wipperman, one of the old time
tried and fire tested democrats, who
made campaign for governor in the
days when democracy was thin and
lean from long fasting, was also in
the city, but declared that he had
not been taken into anybody's con
fidence and that he had not taken
anybody into his. as he had nothing
to say.
The main pipes of the delegation
spent much of the afternoon in con.
sultation, and spent some ume with
the governor yesterday afternoon and
last night 1t is understood they urg-
ed the appointment of a democrat,
first of all, and Of course it is likely
that after that they told whom they
thought the toga would fit best and
look most becoming on.
Warden Hellstrom, one of the big
chiefs of the state organization, was
also busy in the course of the day
talking over probabilities and posi-
bilities, and seeking to get the mat
ter settled as he thinks it should be
settled
Rumors that Judge Spalding was
being considered for the place were
followed BY rumors that the governor
intended to offer the place to Presi-
dent Kelly of the Farmers Railroad,
a clever business man and an .old
friend of the governors. The Mar
shall talk was still frequently heard
until the arrival of the delegation o.
three northern democrats and the an
nouncement of tho Duis boom, when
Marshall stock took a sudden slump.
At a late hour last night the sena-
torial lists were still open, and can
didates were climbing in over the
fence and through tn, bars.
