SPOONER’S IDEAS. Now comes Lewis C. Spooner, one in the of the heavyweights legisla- ture, who although he takes the longest way around, finally admits that an extra session of the legisla- ture to pass a reapportionment bill isi desirable. Of Mr. Spooner’s modesty in fear- ing to voice an .opinion, we hasten to assure him that most folks will figure that as a member of the legis- lature his public utterance will be considered quite the pink of pros- priety, emphasized by his own deep concern over a reapportionment bill “fair to the whole state.” Driven to the wall by our plain speaking Morris statesman the Pio- neer is forced to expose on what as- surance we make the statement that by a united effort a fair reapportion- ment bill can be passed this winter. It’s this: there are 33 counties in Minnesota Develop- If those 33 count- ies with their three quarters of a the Northern ment association. million population unite in a demand for an extra session, backed as they will be by the fair minded men of the south, we have enough confidence in the Minnesota legislature to believe it will yield to the demftnd of the people and pass a fair bill, one assur- ing approximately one representative Incidentally, it will interest more than Mr. Spooner to every county. to know that more than one of the Southern senators who voted against the Congdon bill are ready to vote for a fair_measure. Mr. Spooner’s letter follows: Morris, Minn., Oct. 19, 1911. Editor Bemidji Daily Pioneer: My answer to your letter of Oc- tober 17, asking me to express an opinion as to whether th: Northern Minnesota Development Association at its December St. Cloud Conven- tion better “pass a resolution calling upon Governor Eberhart to redeem his pledge relative to an extra ses- sion of the Legislature to pass a re- apportionment bill” is, first, that in- somuch as the territory embraced in the legislative district which I rep- resent has hitherto been regarded in- eligible to membership in the asso- ciation referred to and as not en- titled to a voice therein, the pro- priety of my undertaking to voice an opinion as to any duty or responsi- bility-of, or the proper political con- duct of, said association may well be doubted, and, second, since you say “it now appears that by a united ef- fort a reapportionment bill, fair to the north, (why not also fair to the whole state?) is not impossible this ‘winter,” provided, you mean to say, enactment, let me ask.on what as- surance- you make such statement? ‘Who undertakes to say that the sena- tors who killed the House bill of the last session will, in an extra session, if convened, confess their wrong-do- ing by reversing their voting? much better reason to believe that the 25 House members from north- ern Minnesota and.23 of the House members from - southern Minnesota who voted against House File 78, would reverse their voting and vote for, instead of against, a like meas- ure to increase taxation of railroad properties—influenced thereto not by the good reasons which ought to have influenced them to vote for House File 78, ‘but by -the feeling which has been aroused among the people because of tle conduct of those who have in hand the care and management of and who are respon- sible for the policies of the railroads of this state. If I were well assured that a ma- Jjority of both Houses of the Legisla- ture would vote for a reapportion- ment law equitable as may be framed under the constitution of this state, to all parts of the state, for a gross earnings law essentially like House File 78 of the last session, and not exceeding six other laws that I have in mind but will not now or here un- dertake to name, and equally well assured that certain other kinds of legislation would not be undertaken but be deferred until the next regu- lar session, I would feel inclined to favor an extra session which under such conditions—if such conditions might be imposed—need not exceed thirty days in duration. Lewis C. Spooner. Gladly we note that the ambiguous Mr. Spooner is with us at heart and we agree with him that all necessary ledislation could be attended to at a 30 day session. PRIMARIES IN ARIZONA. Men who have lived from youth to old age in Arizona, some of them having resided in the Territory for nearly half a century, went to the polls tod‘ay and for the first time in their lives expressed by ballot their choice for governor and cther execu- tive, judicial and legislative officials. The occasion was the general prim- aries for the nomination of candi- (dates to be voted for at the first State election in Arizona, which is to be held.in December. New Mexico, which was admitted to Statehood at the same time as Arizona, held to the convention plan of ndminations, but Arizona adopted the direcet primary system and put it into operation for the first time today. Owing to the large expanse of territory covered by the new State and the remote loca; tions of many of the communities the results of the primary elections may not be definitely known until late to- morrow. A heavy vote reported in Phoenix and in other of the chief cities gives evidence of the keen interest the peo- ple of the new State are taking in their first effort at self-government. The citizens of Arizona have always elected their own county officers and their legislators, but the president has named the governor and other diciary, and Congress has always had veto power over the territorial leg- islative enactments. Now for the first time they are to exercise the power of all other sov- ereign States, and on December 12 next will choose all their own offi- cials, from governor to constable, and including in Con- gress and a legislature that will choose two United States senators. Heretofore Arizona has been allowed one “delegate” in the house of repre- sentatives, but this delegate had no vote. He occupied a seat and was permitted to make speeches and serve on committees, but had no voice in legislative matters so far as voting was concerned. Now the new State is to send a full fledged member to the house and two members to the senate. In today’s primaries nominations were made for governor, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer, attornely- general, superintendent of public in- struction, corporation commissioner, United States senator and represen- tative and three judges of the State supreme court. The ballots éontained complete tickets representing the Re- publicans, Democratic aad Socialist parties. The Republican candidates for the nomination for governor are E. W. Welis of Prescott and George U. Young of Phoenix. Three Democrats aspire to the governorship. They are Dr. H. A. Hughes of Phoenix, George W. P. Hunt of Globe and T. F. Weedin of Florence. P. W. Gal- entine of Globe has been unanimous- 1y indorsed by the Socialist party for governor. 5 The contests for the two United States senatorships are regarded by the Deople as of even more interest and importance than the fight for representatives an extra session is convened for its the governorship. If the Republicans So far as I am advised, there is executive officials,. including the ju-| win in the first State election the two United States senators will be Ralph Cameron of Flagstaff and Hoval A. Smith of Bisbee. Cameron has been in_Congress for several years as the territorial- delegate from Arizona. Smith is a prominent young mining man and has served as Republican territorial chairman. That the Democrats are-sanguine of controlling the 'flrs_t State legisla- ture is ‘evidenced by the fact that there are more than three times as many aspirants for the United States senatorships on ‘the Democratic side as on the Republican. The most prominent of the candidates are Col. H. L. Pickett of Tombstone, Eugene S. Ives of Tuecson, attorney for the] Southern | Pacific railroad, and Eu- gene Brady. O’Neill of Phoenix, a brother of the famous “Buckey” O’Neill, who met death in Cuba as a captain of Rough Riders. The oth- er Democratic aspirants for the sen- atorships are J. H. Robertson of Phoenix, M. A. Smith of Tucson and H. F. Ashurst and R. M. Ling of Prescott. - The Socialist candidates are E. D. Simonton of Globe and- E. Johnston of Globe. The Republicans have united upon John S. Williams of Bisbee as their choice -for representative in Con- gress. The Democratic aspirants for representative are Mukford Winson or Yuma, Lamar Cobb of Clifton and Carl Hayden of Phoenix. John Hal- berg of Jerome is the Socialist candi- date. For each of the minor places on the State ticket, including treasurer, secretary of state, auditor and attor- ney general, the Democrats have two or more candidates, while the Repub. licans and Socialists have named but one each. POVOPOOOCOOOOG®H O ® Politics and Politicians. 4 QOO OOOOOGO® GO Republicans of Rhode fsland have renominated Governor Aram J. Po- thier for a third term. The Republican primary in West Virginia next June will be the first ever held in that State for the nomi- nation of State officers. Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice-president of the United States, is mentioned for the Republican nomination for governor of Indiana. Loomis S. Cull has resigned his position as register of the land office at Rapid City to make the race for the Republican nomination for gov- ernor of South Dakota. i According to the plan of Norman E. Mack, chairman, the Democratic National Committee will meet in Washington January 8 to select the time and place for holding the next national convention. John Sharp Williams, formerly D- mocratic leader of the house, and now United States senator from Mis- sissippi, has announced his inten- tion to support Governor Wilson of New Jersey for the presidential nom- ination. Friends of Roger C. Sullivan, Dem- ocratic national committeeman for Illinois, understand that he intends to retire from national politics after the campaign next year, regardless of whether or not he is victorious over the Harrison-Hearst faction. John J. Hopper, who ran for gov- ernor of New York on the Indepen- dence League ticket a year ago, is now a candidate for sheriff of New York county on the anti-Tammany ticket indorsed by the Rapublicans, the Independence League and other so-called independent organizations. Already there is a movement in national political circles to have the main headquarters of the Republican and Democratic national executive committees in Chicago = during the presidential campaign of next year. This was the case in 1896 and 1900 and partly so in 1908. The speechmaking tour soon to be undertaken by Senator La Follette in furtherance of his presidential aspi- rations will last six or eight weeks and will embrace the Dakotas, Min- nesota, lTowa Kansas, Nebraska, Mis- souri, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi and ‘probably Ohio. Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon, apostle of direct primaries and president of the National Repub- lican: Progressive League, wants the National ~ Republican Committee, when it issues a call for the nation- al convention, to recommend the holding of presidential preference primaries in every State of the Un- ion. The People’s Rule League of Am- erica, alarmed over the possible out- come of the suit pending in the Su- preme Court of the United States at- tacking the constitutionality of the initiative and referendum, is appeal- ing to the attorneys general of -all States directly interested to prepare briefs in support of the valldity of this theory of government. The residents of Riverside City, an’ incorporated suburb of Muncie, Ind., have decided to bar poiitics from municipal ‘affairs, and at their town election next month there will be but one ticket in the field. Though the Republicans are in the majority and could control all‘of the town offices, they generously divide the ‘An Aged lceberg. “When 1 was in-the arctic,” once sald General A. W. Greely, “I found an aged floe berg in which the yearly stratifications . of . growth could be traced with great accuracy. 1 meas- ured them and by careful calculation was able fo discover that the oldest layers of that ice probably dated back to the years when Solomon was build- ing his temple. That temple. massive as it was, has utterly perished. amd men differ as to its exact site. But that ice was still in existence when 1 was in the polar seas, and it may be there yet. :You see, a bit of fresh water ice, onece-immersed-in a-salt sea that has a constant temperature of abour twenty-eight degrees, cannot very well perish. It is in a sort of perpetual cold.storage plant, colder than its own melting .point. And.that accounts for the long endurance -of. what in our climate would have lasted -perhaps buf a few brief seconds.” -~ Worse: Still.
