st. Paul, April 4.-Some ingenious
person has broken into print with the
assertion that the next State senate
has, with a few unimportant excep-
tons, been arranged for. and the list
of legislators, who will represent the
several districts is presented One is
panied to note that this list does not
include some leaders of prominence
to whom the public has grown accus-
toned to have at hand to arrange
things for them.
Their place is fairly well filed, how
ever, by men of prominence and repu-
tation. Among these are:
J. F. Jacobson of Lac qui Parle.
r. @. Dunn of Princeton.
Alvah Eastman of st. Cloud.
j. Adam Bede of Pine City.
q quarterte of statesmen, who, il the
political prophets representations
prove accurate will surely have much
to do with shaping the legislation OF
the future,
Nor is there anything intrinsically
improbable in the suggestion made, so
far as the gentlemen named are con-
cerned. One is panied to note, how
ever, some of the names omitted from
the list. For instance there is Sena-
tor Ed. Smith Of Minneapolis, about
the smoothest proposition in the way
of political leaders, those on the inside
with regard to the controlling influ-
ences of the present situation say,
who ever came down the pike.
For they tell me there is trouble
brewing for this leader in his own dis
trict which it is feared may necessari-
ly distract his attention from the State
campaign. Indeed, the slatemaker to
whom I've referred gives the seat in
the senete Mr.. Smith has occupied to
Carl Wallace, who is known to be
making fight for it. Possibly the
primaries may throw a different light
on the situation, but the way it looks
now, Senator Smith has the hottest
kind of fight on his hands.
Not only is Senator Smith removed
from the political arena by this ruth
less Warwick, but the peerless lead
er's alter ego, Senator Calhoun, is also
consigned to political oblivion, his
place being given to William Dwinnell
of Minneapolis, who already has some
thing more than a local reputation.
This change would also remove anoth
er prominent figure from the Kennepin
county delegation. For Frank MINI
ocks, they tell me, has alreapy crossed
the rubicon, burned his bridge behind
him and staked his political future on
his ability to wrest the representation
of the Fortieth district from his rivals.
Mr.. Nimocks is nothing if not fore
handed and ingenious. He is, they tell
me, these days as busy as mailer, be-
ginning his political labors with the
rising of the summer sun and continu-
ing until long after the less obtrusive
luminary has sought his couch in the
west. AS indicating Mr.. Nimocks'
progressive and up-to the minute
methods l present herewith card Of
which few voters in the district are
not in possession Of a pack. Already
signed, they are coming back to him in
numbers that tax the carrying capa-
city of the letter carriers of the dis.
trict. They bear the following pledge:
CRANK E. NIMOCKS:
eff you are a candidate for the Office
of State senator from the Fortieth leg
islative district comprising Fourth
wsrd) 1 will do all I can to aid You in
securing the nomination and election,
and when you are ready to make your
canvass, and will give me your cards
/ will secure you the endorsement of
at least one or more of my friends in
the district to give you their endorse
ment and support at the primaries.
"Signed. %
This, it will be seen, is the first of a
follow-up series, and indicates the ma
ture of its successors. am told that
similar plan previously adopted in
his campaign for seat in the house
proved surprisingly effective and that
