(Special Correspondence). St. Paul, April 22—The Minnesota legislature is a thing of the past and the entire state is now taking stock of the ninety-day session of the law- making which has just closed. Gov- ernor Eberhart has signed every Dill that was passed by the legislature board of pardons to a life term of im- prisonment. ++ + In reviewing the work of the ses- ston the general impression prevails that it accomplished little. Probably about the only constructive bit of leg- islation passed was the R. C. Dunn good roads bill reorganizing the high- way commission. This bill appropri- ates $150,000 for immediate use and Proposes a constitutional amendment for the levying of a 1-mill tax for the permanent support of good roads in the state. Many reform measures were suggested, like the direct pri-) mary, the initiative and referendum, the recall, a bill to prevent the issu- ance of watered stocks by railroads, but all were killed, most~of them in the senate. It appears that the one trouble with the legislature was, in both houses, that there were no lead- ers and every one wanted to be a leader. This was not true of the Dem- ocrats. In the house they acted as a unit under the direction of Represen- tative Pfaender of New Ulm, while in the senate, with Senator Works as the nominal leader, and with men like TAFT SEEKS TO STAY NEUTRAL Wants to Prevent Assistance For Revolution'sts, WOULD MAKE LAWS STRONGER 7 President Is Determined to Retain Con- trol of Mexican Situation and Objects to Interference by Congress—Many Investigations of Postoffice Depart- ment Are Planned.

Washington, April “ —Senator Mar- tin of Virginia at the Democratic sen- | ate caucus was selected as permanent | caucus chairman and minority leader | during the present congress. He re-| ceived 21 out of the 37 votes cast, 16| going to Senator Benjamin F. Shively, of Indiana, who was then elected vice | chairman. Senator W. E. Chilton of | West Virginia was elected secretary of the caucus, the two last named ; places having been filled by acclama- sota, on Friday the fifth day of May aw: 1911, at 8 o’clock p. m., of that ‘it was supposed even then that this | day of the session. This bill abol- | tion. Senator Owen declined a re- oeriae as secretary. without his signature. The law is so framed that the governor’s signature to a constitutional amendment is not mecessary in order to have it go prop- erly before the people. In spite of this it has been customary in the past for governors to sign these measures. The governor did not wish to sign this one because he disapproves of it. At the same time had his signature been necessary he probably would have affixed it in order that the meas- ure should go properly before the peo- ple so that he might have an oppor- tunity to say whether or not represen- tation in the larger cities should be limited. At present the limitation would affect only Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis counties, but other coun- ties, like Winona, Blue Harth, Stearns ee The most important action of the legislature was the passage of the Keefe bill, known as the Oregon plan, | for the direct election of United States | senators. The real meaning of this} bill is that the man who is a candi- | date for United States senator who | shall receive the highest number of votes will be the choice of the people for senator and by another provision of the bill legislators are asked to pledge themselves in advance to vote for the man so designated. The ef-! fect of the measure is to absolutely | destroy party lines so far as the Unit- ed States senatorship is concerned and wil work to the advantage of the can- didate of the minority party. After hesitating for some time Governor Eberhart finally signed the bill. He might not have done so had it not been for the fact that he feared a veto would mean that he is opposed to the direct election of United States sena- tors, and the contrary is true. + + + Those who oppose the bill do so on | the ground that it will almost cer-| nority party candidate, as happened im Oregon, where Senator Chamber- lain, Democrat, was elected by a Re | publican legislature. They say that it works out in this manner: The mi- nority party will probably have only one candidate, while the majority party will as probably have many can- didates. The result will be that the minority party will concentrate its vote, while the vote of the majority | party will be scattered among many candidates, with the result that the minority candidate will receive the greater number and the minority will accordingly dictate to the majority the naming of United States senator. | t+ + + | In its direct avplication to Minne- gota the Oregon plan is generally sup- posed to be a move against the re | election of Knute Nelson and in the | interest of John Lind. The measure | is a Democratic measure and its adop- | tion secured through the intelligently cohesive action of the Democratic mi- | mority of house ami senate. The measure is supposed to explain the | singular attitude taken by John Lind | in the last election, when he forced | county option upon his party and went | up and down through the state declar- ing that party platform pledges meant nothing. In spite of the fact that Mr. Lind declared that he was not a can- | didate for the United States senate | was his ultimate aim. Among the Re- publicans men like Knute Nelson, C. A. Congdon, Ripley Brower, James A Peterson and others are already being | discussed as possible senatorial can- didates. +e Another important bill signed by the governor after the session ad- journed was the capital punishment measure, a bill introduced in the house by Representative McKenzie and passed in the senate on the last tshed capital punishment In the state of Minnesota. It had special and di- rect application to the case of Martin O'Malley of Le Sueur county, con- victed of the murder of his stepchil- dren and sentenced to ve nanged. The governor had refused to sign the death warrant and the grand jury of Le Sueur county had asked the legisla ture to inquire of the governor why he did not do his duty. O’Malley’s sentence has been commuted by the ing order may be asked from the | courts by Representative Washburn of Hennepin county on the ground) of irregularity in the passage of the) amended bill. In the earlier part of| the session Speaker Dunn used all his | influence to secure the passage of the| Congdon reapportionment bill, but inj the latter part of the session, follow-| ing the filing of the Klemer charges, | he underwent a change of heart. He! used all his influence to secure the passage of the “seven senator” bill. | The amended measure was passed in the house amid scenes of wild tumult, | in which Representatives O’Neill and | Frankson engaged in a personal en- | counter and the speaker threatened | to ask the governor to call out the) militia. Representative Minnette of | Stearns county moved to reconsider the vote. While this motion was pending a motion to adjourn was made and carried. The senate held a session that evening and the bill was | mysteriously rushed from one house to the other. Chief Clerk Oscar Arne | son explains that he was instructed | to send it over by the speaker. The next day the senate passed the Dill. | The house journal shows that a mo- tion to reconsider was pending before | the bill went out of the possession of | the house and the contention is made | that a bill could not properly go out | of the possession of the house while| a motion upon it was pending. ++ + Both Speaker Dunn and Lieutenant Governor Gordon changed front dur- ing the closing hours of the session. The rulings of the lieutenant governor had been made in favor of his senate organization and in opposition to re- apportionment. During the last week he made one definite ruling in favor of the reapportionists and had he stood pat on his decision that it required two-thirds of the senate to lift a call of the house the “seven senator” Dill would never have been passed, but he threatened to reverse his ruling the next day, a fact that resulted in a surrender on the part of the opposi- | tion to the “seven senator” bill. | | +f + One of the most dramatic incidents | of the session was the defeat of the | recall bill by a fluke in the last hours of the session. The Dill had been amended and reamended so as to in- clude the judiciary and later to ex- clude them. On the last night for passing bills a vigorous fight was | made for and against in the senate. | The clock had been turned back time and again to avoid the constitutional requirement that the passage of bills should cease at midnight. A vigorous filibuster against the bill was led by Senator G. H. Sullivan of Stillwater and Senator Moonan of Waseca led the fight for it. Finally, about 1:30 in the morning, a motion was made to adjourn. Recording Secretary Si- monton announced the vote 33 for ad- journment and 30 against. Lieutenant Governor Gordon announced the vote as having carried and adjourned the senate. The senators immediately started for their homes. A little later | it was discovered that Secretary Si- monton, wearied by long hours of work at the desk, had read the vote wrongly and the motion to adjourn had really been lost by a vote of 33 to 30. In view of the fact that the senate had been declared adjourned there was nothing to do but let the matter stand. ++ + The entire session of the legislature failed to produce any one man who stands out above other men. There were no leaders in either body. Both Speaker Dunn and Lieutenant Gov ernor Gordon might have developed these qualities had it not been for | the fact that they are both politically | ambitious. The lieutenant governo! played a careful but colorless game throughout the session, while the speaker developed an inconsistency at the last which has subjected him to criticism | ++ + | Former Congressman James A. Taw- ney has come out In the open in an attack against the progressive move ment in the state. In an address at Minneapolis he declared that he was a progressive Republican, but not the kind who would jump overboard sim ply because the ship of state was not | sailing fast enough to suit him. | in an effective manner. One reason why the people of South and Central America dislike and dis- trust the United States is because buc- caneers from this country dip into every rebellion and make large profits in selling arms and furnishing men, all under cover of the United States flag. It is expected that an effort will be made at an early day to pass more effective neutrality laws. In the President’s Hands. “It’s now up to congress,” said Sen- ator Stone, speaking of the Mexican situation. But he was far from voic- ing any idea the president had on that subject. Not only did the president think that there was no reason why the Mexican situation should be re- ferred to congress, but at the time the Missouri senator made his speech he was determined to keep the control of the situation in his own hands. The president did not need any au- thority from congress to do all that he wanted to do. He was also aware that to refer the matter to congress was tantamount to declaring war if congress took any action. The president has no doubt of his authority to protect Amer- icans in this country along the border, but even to go into Mexico to do so without any authority from congress. President Taft is perfectly satisfied with all he has done thus far in regard to the Mexican situation. Postoffice Investigation. It is an off day when some member | of congress does not introduce a reso- | lution to investigate the postoffice de- ‘partment on some one of the many ' complaints that have been made in re- | gard to its management. Postmaster | General Hitchcock seems to have en- gendered considerable enmity among | members of congress. One investigation which is going for- ' ward is to be conducted by the com- mittee of which Congressman Asb- brook of Ohio is chairman. It is his intention to make a thorough inquiry into the affairs of the department un- der the dragnet resolution which has been passed. Vision of Hill and McCall. Both McCall of Massachusetts and Hill of Connecticut are Republicans who supported reciprocity. Joe Ford- ney of Michigan paid his respects to them. “They are both protectionists,” said he, “but whether they can see beyond the limits of Massachusetts and Connecticut at this time I am not go- ing to say.” Opportunity For Peacemakers. ‘W. Murray Crane and other peace- makers will have to work overtime if they maintain peace in the Republican party. The senate has spent very lit- tle time in session since congress met, but enough temper has been displayed to show that the Republicans will not be a happy family. The factions are not going to be self sacrificing and in- dulgent with each other, but when an insurgent gets in the way of a regular he will be hit, and vice versa. On the Democratic side there was a division from the start, and it is no nearer adjustment than in the begin- ning. Women In Accord. While the men in congress show that they are divided in regard to political matters, the women of the congression- al set are in perfect harmony and through the Congressional club are do- ing much to promote good fellowship and social pleasures. There is no poli- tics in this club. While the women of the Congressional club were conduct- Ing that organization in perfect har- mony, there were stormy times at the meeting of the Daughters of the Rev- olution; but, then, that is a regular an- nual occurrence. The Brides Are Here. Washington has been backward in everything except the usual crop of spring brides. They blossomed long before the magnolias and continued to appear in great numbers, although the cold weather retarded the leaves and grass. Most years all these signs of spring come together, but the leaves and flowers have been delayed by the unusual! season. Butter Frem Home. Congressman Dwight is the friend of the New York farmers. He not only champions them in their demands for legislation, but he has butter sent from Tompkins county for his table in Washington. “I get good butter and patronize home industry,” remarked Dwight.
