Men Behind the Scenes Are franz
log Things Up
Some Familiar Faces in Higher
Branch of LEGISLATURE Not To
Be Seen Any More


Some ingenious person has broker
into print with the assertion that thu
next state senate has, with few i'm
portant exceptions, 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 accustomed to have
at hand to arrange things for them
Their place is fairly well filled, how
ever, by men of prominence and repu-
tation. Among these are:
J. +. Jacobson of Lac qui Parle.
r. c. Dunn of Princeton.
Alvah Eastman of ST. Cloud.
J. Adam Bede of Pine City.
A quartette of statesmen, who, if
the political prophets prognostica-
tions prove accurate will surely have
much to do with shaping the legisla-
tion of the future.
Nor is there anything intrinsically
improbable in the suggestion made,
SO far as the gentlemen named are
concerned. One is panied to note,
however, some of the names omitted
from the list. For instance there is
Senator Ed. Smith of Minneapolis,
about the smoothest proposition in
the way of political leaders, those on
the inside with regard to the control
ling influences of the present situa-
zion say, who ever came down the
pike.
For they tell me there is trouble
brewing for this leader, in his own
district, which it is feared may neces-
sarily distract his attention from
the state campaign. Indeed, the
slatemaker to whom I've referred
gives the seat in the senate 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 VIM. Dwin-
nell of Minneapolis, who already has
something more than a local reputa-
tion. This change would also re-
move another prominent figure from
the Hennepin county delegation.
For Frank Nimocks, they tell me,
has already crossed the Rubicon,
burned his bridges 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,
beginning his political labors with
the rising of the summer sun and
continuing until long after that less
obtrusive luminary has sought his
couch in the west. AS indicating
Mr.. Nimocks' progressive and up-to-
the-minute methods I present here
with card of which few voters in
the district are not in possession of a
pack. Already signed these are COM
ing back to him in numbers that tax
the carrying capacity of the letter
carriers of the district. They bear
the following pledge:
FRANK e. NIMOCKS:
'If you are candidate for the of
fee of State Senator from the fortieth
legislative district comprising Fourth
ward) 1 will do all / 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,
l will secure you their endorsement
of at least one or more of my friends
in the district to give you their en-
dorsement and support at the pri-
maries. Signed. ................. "
This, it will be seen, is the first OF
a follow-up series, and indicates the
