man you cannot but accept it as
matter of fact. Jake Preus polite
ally is the product of Jake Preus
the citizen, and the same indomitable

the voters into the political arena tel

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, Theodo1 e
Christensen 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 {. M.
Dondixcn of Redwood County. Al
to the Chief Cle1kship, 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
Christensen Of w. l. 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
they have So. we'd, and their popular
ity> in. legislative way is in keep
ing. Mr.. Nolan was speaker OF the
last house while Mr.. ChristiansC
was chairman Of the appropriations
committee. The outcome will be
watched with interest. 8.

One of the disappointing thing
TO the State Democracy, was the
snail vote pol'ed by its standars:
bearer. l.. C. Hodgscal The only ex-
PLANTATION is that the voters were
nlaying safe and that "I.ary" suf-

reiuvenation was brought about BY

of that party. and a similar co.,so'
dation is now being suggested in the
Townley forces.
