Lynn Haines, secretary of the Minnesota Citizens league and a| young man who has muckraked him- self into some sort of a political power in Minnesota and who is best known as a result .of his scathing denunciation of members of the leg- islature of two years agois now out with a published opinion as to the merits or demerits of members of the legislature which has just adjourn- ed. The Daily Pioneer - comes a long | way from agreeing with Mr. Haines in some of the deductions he makes but his offering at least make inter- esting reading and as he is a power with which candidates must reckon, the following extracts from his con- clusions are given: In dealing with the senate, Mr. Haines bas this to say of the follow- ing: SAM Y. GORDON, Lieutenant Governor, Browns Valley—Organiz- ed the senate in the interest of the people and presided over its cessions | with ability and fairness. A, L. HANSON, Norman—In- surgent leader. B. E. SUNBERG, Kittson—In- surgent leader; one of the best friends the people ever had in the senate; always voted the interest of economy and a great degree ot fun- damental Democracy. D. M. GUNN, Itasca—A stand- pat remnazt of the old guard; voted on the side of the special interests; was in close touch with ‘the big bosses higher up. JOHN SAUGSTAD, Polk—In- surgent leader; one cof the 1eliables of the progressive group; was handi- capped by having to fizht a contest for his seat, but did excellent work for the people OLE O. SAGENG, Ottertail—Ia- surgent leader, always on the job; official inspector of woodchucks for the progressives; uncompromisingly for reform. JAMES P. DOYLE, St. Louis—| Tnsurgent leader; the surprise of the sessior; coming from steel trust ter- ritory, it was expected that he would take his stand with the special in- terests; on the contrary all his bril liant powers were employed in be- half of progressive measures. In tbe more fertile field of the House the Haines approvals and disapprovals of state wide characters or Northern Minnesota members are as follows: D. P. O'NEILL, Pennington— One of the leading insurgant:: prc- gressive on all important questions G. H. MATTSON, Rosseau—A little inclined towards reactionary- ism at the beginning of the session, but usually voted on the reform side and performed excellent service for the progressives at the finish. T. M. FERGUSON, Carlton—A “near insurgent,” an uninfluential member with a mixed record; was pulled away from the progres ive group on several critical occasions CHARLES W. BOUCK, Morrison —A mere politician; always active, and always, with one or two minor exceptions, closely associated with the special interest members. F. L. KLEMER, Rice—A con- sistent insurgent who always voted for progressive measure and against the special interests, He created the sensation of the session by charg- ing that the special i 1terests contro'- led the organization, which threw the house into a condition of chaos from which it did not recover before adjournment. LEWIS C. SPOONER, Stevens— Was largely responsible for Duann’s election as speaker and had a hand in the organization of the house; in- fluence reactionary. CHESTER A. CONGDON, Du luth—Probably the biggest individ- ual in the house; one of the speaker’s “cabinet,” reactionary. KNUTES. AKER, Polk—One ot the most dependable servants of the system; ordinary capacity; very small legislative initiative; occupied a stragetic position at the head of the roster and always obeyed in. structions by bezinning roll calls as the special interests desired. C. H. WARNER, Aitkin—A re- actionary who stood consistently against progressive measures, but active in investigation of state drain- age abuses. L. H. RICE, Hubbard—An un- progressive politician whose record is reactionary, : Discussing the legislature from a eeneral standpoint, - Mr, Haines says: ‘““The ' reactionaries elected “ their -candidate for speaker<and ‘proceeded to overcome the handicap of a pro- gressively inclined majority by “‘over- vantage, through the adoption of Cannonized rules and the compelling | power of chairmauships and patron- |age, “‘the cabinet” was able to get! {along with a minority of members| directly controlled by the special in- | terests' uutil they could convert | enough recruits to giveithem a. dom- inating combination. ‘The result was an “overorglnized," supersensi- tive house. - When even the mild- | mannered Mr. Klemer meekly ex- tended a digit, there was chaos' and political inferno.” “On the other hand the senate was | naturally reactionary; - but Lieut. Gov. Gordon organized: it in the in- terests of the people. ‘Apparently the special interests had little oppor- | tunity in the upper branch. Condi-‘! tions continued in that way until the | Klemer incident in the house. -That sensational controversy converted a| well-ordered, smoothly-working spec- | ial interest machine into pitiful dis- | order. 'The reactionary leaders real- ized that they had overplayed the! {game and were discredited, if not| | disgraced, before the people of the| | state. 'They were irritable. In con-| | sequence the closing weeks of the| session in the house were marked | and marred by language so ungentle- { manly and disorder so unstatesman. | like as to suggest a tenderloin snloon} | rather than a dignified law-making | | body. This situation frightened the | ‘biz bosses—the ones who press the button from above. No mere human | could anticipate house conditions a half hour ahead; accordingly they | |turned their attentions to the senate. | | themselves and their masters by con- ! | trolling the senate. Their labors | were not in vain. With a single | exception what the house didn’t massacre the senate murdered.” Backache Means Dying Kidneys A Remarkable Treatment That Saves the Kidneys. How You May Cure Yourself Quickly and Thoroughly. tested and its results have proven so | revolutionary that a well-known firm in Michigan has undertaken its distri- Dbution into every part of the country. Those who suffer from kidney trou- ble and the diseases resulting from it will be pleased to know that every package of this treatment is thorough- |1y guaranteed. This should assure at | last a positive cure to every sufferer. | Every man and woman should know that backache is usually a well-defined | | symptom of advancing kidney disease | which may end fatally unless treated |in time; that rheumatism and bladder | trouble are caused from nothing more | nor less than kidneys that do not filter the poison from the blood; that dropsy, Bright’s disease, diabetes and bladder- stones are caused by bad kidneys. Once they are made to work prop- erly, these diseases should quickly dis- appear. This is done by the new treatment, | Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills. | ‘We urge everyone who has pain in the smail of the back, profuse or scanty urination, pains in the bladder, cloudy or foul urine, not to fail to get | a package (oday of Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills, and drop all other kidney treat- ments. Senator Stevenson, of Washing. ton, writes from Olympia: “There is no ‘guestion about the efficacy of Dr. Derby's Pure Kidney Pills in_curing | kidney and bladder trouble. I know | whereot I speak.” Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are now sold | at all drug stores—25 and 50 cents, or direct from Derby Medicine Co., Eaton Rapids, Mich. Tf you would like to try | them first, ask your drugist for a free | sample package. Then buy a package; you will not regret it. -$0) 50 AND 216 Minnesota Ave. Steel Steamship organizing” the house.
