Whereas, there exists through- out the state a clearly expressed demard for the immediate enact- ment of a state-wide primary law applicable to all state officials, an effective corrupt practices act and reapportionment law. Now, therefore, I, Adolph O Eberhart, as Governor of the State of Minnesota, do firmly lieving that the best interests of the state so require. do hereby issue this proclamation, summon- ing the members of the two, houses of the legislature of this state to convene in extra session at the capitcl in St. Paul, on Tuesday, the 4th day of June, A. 5 D., 1912, at 11 o'clock im the fore- 3 noon, for the purpese of enacting a state-wide direct prima’ law applicable to all state officers, to- gether with an effective corrupt practices act and a reapportion- ment law.

Few realize the political |revolution it forecasts; ments its dynamites and the struggle between fac n. Whether the net |merely the snatching of control from lone political machine and the deliver of it to the new organizaticn born lat the Minneapol’s convention last Thursday, time only will tell. Some political leaders honestly hope that out of the confusion and wrangling of an extra session some- thing beneficial to the state will com@# to put it in the list of the so- called progressive states. Governor Eberhart refuses to make comment further than is contained in his proclamation. He szid it sets forth his position exactly. Sam Y. Gordon and his followers have planned an aitack calculated to put Governor Bberhart on record on a score of propositions before they give him a chance to pass on a state- wide primary cr reapportionment bills. It is said on good authority that Governor Eberhart willl have to face a distance-tariff ill,, increase of gross earnings, tonnage tax and brewery legislation in various phases before the oppesition will present the bills indicated in the proclama- tion. The opening of the session will see Gordon, Spooner and Lee jockeying for position on the gubernatorial track. Gordon T. Bright, Spooner's campaign manager, is wrathy about the align- bitter put hundreds could tell of dark hours/the report that the man from Morris willl devote his time to redistrict- ing the state so as to put himself in- to the congressional fight. Mr. Bright declares that Spooner is in the guber- natorial fight to stay. Did it ever occur to you that the foolish people seem to have the monopoly on happiness? Msc vate —
