Representative Lydiard of Minneap-
oils announces that he may possibly
enter the contest for speaker of the
next house. Of course such is contin-
gent on his election as house mem
Der. He says that Hennepin county
should have the speakership, for the

Minnesota farmers are liable to wake
up some fine morning and find their
state board of grain appeals thing
OF the past. o. P. B. jacobson of the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion brings the word from Washing
ton that congress is considering the
adoption of a rider to the appropria-
ton bills providing for federal stand
ardlzatlon Of grain and that if it pre-

of appeals will be gone. It will SIM

There will be at least seven candi-
didates for president considered at the
Prohibition national convention when
it meets in st. Paul July 10. There
are few instructed state delegations,
Minnesota being one. According to
the primary vote twenty-three of Min
nesota delegates will vote for Will
lam Sulzer, former Democratic gov
ernor Of New York. One delegate,
representing the Fourth congressional
is instructed by the voters
for Eugene N. Foss, former Demo-
cratic governor of Massachusetts,. An
other presidential possibility recruited
from the old parties is J. Frank Hanly,
former Republican governor of Indi-
ana, who lately announced his switch
from the Progressive to the Prohibi-
Ion party. One of the issues that will
ilvlde the 1884 delegates to the con-
7ention will be the question of policy,
whether to nominate one of these new
recruits or to name some old time
'rohibitionist who is less widely |
znown to the country. Four of these |
ire officially declared to be conven-
ion possibilities.
