He has talked of possible things, but he has refused to give them sanction through the medium of @n official opinion. Perhaps the one lone thing to call for court inquiry is the class provision and though a test of this feature was suggested no one goat. The first to take advantage of the provision were Judges Brill, Kelly and Lewis of the Ramsey county dis- | trict court.

The carrying out of the new law is going to cost the taxpayers sometning, but if it works out as claimed the investment will be worth every dollar expended. +e & The novel feature of the new pri- | choice provision and gubernatorial | candidates especially are concerned regarding the outcome in their case. Supporters of Governor Eberhart are inclined to think that it will help him, but they are not backward in saying that as far as they are concerned voters will be advised to express only one choice. It is the field against the governor, they hold, and the average voter, though he may have a prefer- ence other than Governor Eberhart for first choice, yet he will make him the second pick. This, however, is a game that can be worked both ways. I have a hunch that all the candidates will try and discourage the second ‘It has made trouble in North Dakota and because of the com- Plicated features of the law there many yotes have been thrown out. One candidate for the legislature who filed while in St. Paul Monday said he would advise his friends to drop the second choice idea as far as the Office he was after was concerned and he was certain that his friends would in turn advise others the same way. He further believed that many, fear- ful of complicating their votes and having them thrown out, would over- look the second choice scheme.

WILL OPPOSE ROOSEVELT Progressive Republican State League Against Third Party. { The Roosevelt third party move- ment was condemned by the govern- ing board of the Progressive Repub- Hiean State league, the organization which backed R. M. La Follette in Minnesota, after a three-hour confer- ence at the West hotel at Minneapolis. _| A resolution was adopted condemning the movement and saying progressives could “find in a presidential candidate now nominated a man who will faith- fully carry out progressive principles.” It was given out that this resolu- tion was unanimously adopted and members of the board say that it was intended to be an endorsement of Woodrow Wilson. “It certainly could not mean anyone else,” said George S. Loftus. “It could not mean Taft.” with the purchase of every one at the regular price. Now get this right and don’t miss it. They are white petticoats either with lace or em- broidery flounce.
