Z| “Whether the session injures the | governor’s chances or helps them is ‘immaterial. The important thing is that the session should speedily en- act a primary law, complete and effi- cient in its nature. “The people who were so loudly ay | manding this special session a month | ago cast a great reflection on their own integrity of purpose as upon the | governor’s, when they belittle the governor's action and call it an un- | necessary procedure.” four Opinions of state officials differ as pie how long the legislature will be ‘in special session. A majority pre- jaee that because this is crop-plantin | time and work in the rural district is ; rushing, and because no pay is ear-- | ed by the law-makers for attendance the session will not last longer than two or three weeks. ; I. A. Caswelll however, predicts | that the session will last throughout | the greater part of the summer. “When sentiment of the senators and represeptatives was learned som time ago,” Mr. Caswell said, ‘there yore much disagreement as to which | Were the important measures to com before them for consideration. Some believed a pill to prohibit breweries from owning saloons was the most / important. Some believed that re- apportionment was most important. Others looked upon the passage of a state-wide primary bill as mest ur- gent. My opinion is that when the session gets to going, it will last the full 90 days. It will take 30 days to pass a reapportioning measure | | along.” | Says the “Old Man Northome Record. | The republicans of Koochiching | county “in converticn assembled” ere dorsed the principles of Theodore | Roosevelt and instructed their dele- | | gates to vote for the said Theodore. | Then, on top of that, the convention declared for the initiative, referendu and recall, and for the election of | presidential electors by direct vote | of the people.
