Organization of the newly elected
house of rep esentatives is the mex,
political step, and already the am
oitious ones are on the job. Two
possibilities for speaker, Theodose
Christianson OF Dawson, and w. l,
Nolan, of Minneapolis, We're seen at
the State Capitol this week, but
neither would discuss their reported
candidates.. In the offering are seen
C. H.. Waner of Aitkin, Oscar Swan
son, of Nicollet County, and 6 NJ.
Dondixen of Redwood County. As
to the Chief Clerkship, Oscar Orne-
son, who has held that position fol
several sessions, is regarded as more
han a possibility. With due respect
to the others who are well qualified
for the position, if either Theodore
.Christianson Of w. /. Nolan inject
themselves into the speakership fight
there will be little question as to the
outcome. Both have been heavy
weights in the sessions in which
shey have se.ved. and their popular

ing. Mr.. Nolan was speaker of the
last house while Nh. Christiansc
was chairnla1, of the appropriations
committee. The outcome will be
watched with interest. 80
