Does Not Believe That the Question of Electing Senators by Direct Vote Should Be Combined With Surren- dering Federal Control of Elections, as Some Congressmen Insist. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, July 14.—[Special.]— Can a new sectional issue be raised over the question of electing senators by direct vote of the people? Former Congressman Fleming of Georgia, who will be remembered as a man of very broad and liberal views when a member of the house, has warned his southern Democratic friends that they have raised a sectional issue in refus- ing to permit the resolution for the election of senators by the people to pass without also forcing the surren- der of federal control of such elections, which vow exists. Fleming says that it would be better not to array the north and west against the south on this issue. He asserts there is not the slightest dan- ger of negro domination in the matter and that it is unreasonable to expect that the north and west will permit such a radical change to be made at the demand of the south. He also in- sists that the Democrats of the north will be placed at a disadvantage in defending the surrender of federal control, which will be made an issue in the next campaign. That the ghost of state rights can be made an important issue in any campaign at this time is very much doubted by those who bave given any consideration to the subject. An Optimistic Leader. The qualities for a campaign man- ager are said to consist in confidence and ability to claim everything. Cer- nly Senator Bourne possesses that quality of leadership, for he speaks confidently of the nomination of Sen ator La Follette as the Republican candidate for president. He says that the Republican politicians will fall into line as soon as they are confident that La Follette can be elected. “Dr.” Newlands. Coming forward with remedies for nearly all the public ills has gained Senator Newlands the title of “doc: tor.” He generally has one standing remed however, which is also true in r rd to many of the best adver- tised patent medicines. The Nevada senator believes that commissions to everything will solve our troubles. He now proposes a pow- erful commission to handle the cor- porations affected by recent supreme court decisions. handle nearly Champ Clark Impatient. Aside from the reports that Champ Cle is losing about a thousand dol- lars a week by being kept off the lec- ture circuit, he shares the natural im- patience that afflicts every speaker in regard to the slow methods of the sen- ate. There bas not been a speaker, in late y t least, who did not feel that the senate was a failure as to rules and its methods of doing busi- ne: Reed and Cannon were particularly severe in their criticisms of the sen- ate, especially when they had reached the conclusion that they would never be senators. The speaker is obliged to be on hand most of the time. Oth- er members can get away for a few weeks at a time. Champ says that the two extra sessions of the Taft ad- istration have kept congress in session almost continuously since De cember, 1908. He thinks the country must be getting a little tired of con- gress by this time. Democrats Must Economize. The Democratic managers realize that they must economize, and yet they know that the hardest job they have before them is to prevent the members of the house from running away with the different appropriation committees and increasing the expenditures above the mark which the leaders have set as a reasonable limit. Chairman Fitzgerald will sit on the safety valve, and so will other con- gressmen who are chairmen of commit tees, but the members of the house, heeding the demand of their constitu- ents for public money, may make it im- possible to be economical. Treasury watchdogs before have found that their efforts were often unavailing. Won’t Work Wonders. What’s all the pother about, any- how? President Taft is authority for the statement that the reciprocity pact with Canada is not going to lower the price of farm products to any great extent, is not going to decrease the cost of living in the cities; in fact, is not going to make any great changes that our people will feel. Then why all this effort, this extra session, this dis- turbance and trouble in the Republican party? That the president has split his party wide open ou the Canadian reciprocity measure is perfectly patent. If it is not going to accomplish ‘results it would seem that he has paid a great price for what he will get. The main reason why there is a demand for Canadian reciprocity is because it will decrease the cost of living—that and ebeaper print paper. ABOUT THE STATE News of Especial Interest to Minnesota Readers. FREIGHT RATES GIVEN BOOST Advance May Mean an Increase in Cost of Supplies to the Con- sumers of the State. Following the decision of Federal Judge Sanborn Minnesota has started paying an increase in freight rates that probably will be felt by people in every section of the state. New tar- iffs issued and effective July 1 have boosted the rates in some instances as high as 50 per cent, while advances of 38 1-8 per cent are common. In but few instances are the old rates left unchanged. The 2-cent passenger rate and the class freight rates were, put in effect {n 1906. New commodity freight rates were published, but enjoined before being put into effect. The Sanborn decision knocked out the 2-cent pas- senger rate and the class freight rate and held confiscatory the proposed commodity rate, which had never been put in effect. Accordingly the only increase in rates effective now are those applying to passenger and class freight. Through the application of these ad- vances in rates, sugar, canned goods, meats, butter, eggs and most of the foodstuffs shipped as merchandise will cost the merchants more and in some instances may result in advances in eost to the consumer. CARLTON AND WIFE ARE FREE Acquitted of Alleged Murder of Lat- ter’s Aged Father. Lloyd Carlton of Bemidji, accused of the murder of Peter O. Neste of Farris, his father-in-law, was acquitted by a jury at Park Rapids after it had been out but twenty minutes. Mrs. Carlton, jointly accused with her hus- band, was dismissed previously for lack of evidence. Judge McClennahan had instructed the jury that they could bring in a verdict of murder in either of the three degress or for manslaughter. The instructions placed emphasis upon the right of self-defense, which had been entered by Carlton as a special plea. The defense tried to show that Neste was a man of violent temper and that the alleged crime was com- mitted in self-defense during one of these violent spells. The state submitted rebuttal evi- dence going to show that the old man was seventy-two; that his hands were crippled with rheumatism; that for two months before his death he lived principally upon milk on account of stomach troubles and that he was in a very feeble condition. CRITICISES THE GOVERNOR Attorney Says Minnesota Executive Showed Contempt for Laws. Charges by inference that Gov- ernor Eberhart of Minnesota showed contempt of the state’s laws in med- dling in the Whittier investigation at this time, marked the opening before the board of control of the hearing on | the charges filed by Ralph Wheelock, the governor's private secretary. The attack on the governor was bit- | terly made by counsel for Superin- tendent Whittier, Judge F. M. Wilson of Red Wing. He quoted from the statutes and took the stand that Mr. Eberhart’s letter to the board, requesting an in- vestigation of the general administra- tion of the Red Wing training school, was highly improper while a specific investigation against an individual connected with the institution was pending. He declared, in question form, that the board was not required to submit to what he called dictation. TWO ROCK BOAT AND DROWN Sailors on Lake Steamer Meet Death in Duluth Harbor.

St. Paul Merchant Dead. H. C. MeNair of St. Paul, a prom- | inent dealer in railway supplies, is dead in that city. Death was due to appendicitis.
