We managed to get an item in these columns somewhat mixed up last week when we stated that Miss Evelyn Lane and Mr. Otto -Fred- ericks were spending their holi- days at Iron River, Wis. It seems that Misses Lane and Gladys Mc- Naughton and Glen MeNaughton and Otto Freasriecks went to Duluth, where Miss McNaughton and her brother remained to visit relatives, while Miss Lane proceeded to her old home at Iron River, Wis., and Mr. Fredericks returned to his place of business at Gurney, Wis.

(Special Correspondence.) St. Paul, Jan. 7.—With the senate and house once more started on its biennial grind, reactionaries and pro- gressives engaged in a fierce struggle for the mastery of each, and a line of legislation in sight. that will undoubt- edly call for the full ninety days, the thirty-eighth session of the Minne- | sota legislature promises to pass into history as the most strenuous in years. At high noon today both bod- ies convened, Governor Eberhart was inducted into office for the third time and the usual routine carried out in | Swearing in the members and seating | them. In a way the opening was with out note, but what it lacked in the ; Spectacular was fully made up by a , surcharged atmosphere, a tightening j of sword be'ts and a positive feeling that the morrow or the next day would see a clash. This clash was to be the attempted dethronemert of both Lieutenant Governor J. A. Burn- quist im the senate and Speaker Henry Rines in the house. For the past week a coterie in the senate | headed by Senator Sullivan and by L. A. Lydiard in the house, operating under the guise of the latest in things Progressive, have been herding a ma- jority of the disgruntled and others who ought to know better under a scheme for a cemmittee on commit- tees. The Democrats were taken in under promises of spoils and good committeeships.

Fletcher Cohasset, Minnesota ; impossible, yet I have to chronicle the | fact that when the opening day of the | legislature arrived the best posted | Were positiv that the lieutenant gov- | ernor had been stripped. In the house, which is a more unwieldy body, Rines was ‘regarded ag still in the | saddle, but this fact had not caused ; any let up on the part of those after | his scalp. It was all this which faced the convening of the two bodies | Tuesday and kept a score or more of | interested spectators who hung about | the side lines on the qui vive. | tbe Possibly nothing in years has en- livened the opening. of a session of the Minnesota Jegislature as this at- tempted attack on the official pre- rogatives of the two presiding officers and even if it fails it practicelly means ninety days of turmoil and strife. If it prevails it means political death for Burnquist and Rines. The world has little use for a loses. Various guesses have been made as to what is behind the entire movement. Some say it is for the purpose of putting Burnquist and Rines out of business two years hence—one is mentioned \for governor and the other for state | auditor—others that the disorganiza- , tion of the near and extreme progres- | sives is the purpose, and still others that the distribution of the commit- tees is not to the liking of those who would overthrow the two presiding officers. The latter, I am inclined to think, is nearer the facts. The eager ness of the Democrats to climb aboard under the promise of good commit- teeships and half of the jobs would indicate such. It is the only way in which they could participate in a division. Then, too, there is ihe knowledge that full control of the im- portant committees would give those opposed to such legislation as the in- itiative and referendum, county op- tion, the recall and other late day lez- islation a chance to hamper if not throttle such. a Mh ae Friday preceding the opening of the session the Democratic members of the senate, headed by S. D. Works of Mankato and Harry Weis of Le Sueur, caucused at the St. Paul hotel on the proposition of joining the combine, but they refused to discuss what con- clusion had been reached at the close. It was said that three of the Demo- crats had refused to have anything to do with the scheme. F. B. Lynch, na- tional Democratic committeeman, has been accused of urging the Demo- crats to accept the offer of the Repub- lican leaders, but he denies any activ- ity. It has to be said though that Mr. Lynch shows considerable interest in the whole thing and there are those who insist that he is the lad who is whipping the unwashed into line.

Members of both branches of the legislature were guests and the affair was attend- ed by friends of the governor from all over the state. Inauguaral recep- tions, though suggested frequently, have been shied at by gubernatorial incumbents since Governor Merriam’s time. The one held when he was gov- ernor came pretty near putting the entire Republican administration of Yhat period out of business and did have considerable to do in puttin Governor Merriam on the shelf wher he came up for renomination. The banquet given in connection called forth severe condemnation from the press of the state and was even at- tacked in the pulpits. However there will not be a banquet this time, just a reception. e+ ¢ Clerks and legislative employes of the Lynn Haynes type will be a miss- ing feature of the two houses this time. Both bodies, it is said, are plan- ning the passage of a resolution (for- bidding any employe from having a Rewspaper connection or in anyway aiding letter syndicates. This is for the purpose of curtailing the activi- ties of several reportorial bureaus which are now preparing to sell a weekly review at so much per and at the same time draw a $5 per diem from the state. The head of one of these bureaus, I am told, openiy threatened Speaker Rines because he would not come to his aid. He was told to go ahead and do his -worst, but to be careful. +o + As a result of reports filed with Governor Eberhart by Public Exam- iner Fritz I would not be surprised if the state highway commission and the fire marshal’s office were given a searching examination by the legisla- ture and laws passed curtailing what Mr. Fritz thinks fis a too liberal use of the taxpayers’ money in the pay- ment of expenses. So bad are the financial affairs of the fire marshal’s department that it may be compelled to go out of business for a period, while in the case of the highway com- mission expenses have been granted engineers without limit. The sala- Tles paid aggregate $75,000 a year; ever $7,000 was paid for railroad fares, a like amount for hotels and Meals and nearly $7,500 for livery hire. The fire marshal’s office is near- ty $10,000 to the bad and does not know what it will do. tt + The rebuke administered by Public Examiner Fritz in the case of both state departments was mild, but he inferred considerable and it had to be said that his inferences were not to the credit of the management of eith- er department. The troudte with both is that they are overburdened with employes, and high salaried ones at that; that anything in the way of ex- penses as incurred by employes goes, and that no attempt is made to re- duce either when financial ruin stared those in charge in the face. What do you think of $7 a day for a hotel, and just a room ‘at that? Well some of the department heads in the employ of the state have charged that figure, and if any one doubts the statement he can find the item on the auditor's books. be a ee L. C. Spooner, a power in the last heuse, and who won a return ticket after an unsuccessful try at the gov- ernorship, arrived on the scene the early part of the week. He did not say much, but there were numerous conferences and the feaiure of each, it was said, was a bid for support, with Rines and his friends due to get the worst of it. Mr. Spooner, it is said, wants his old committee back, that of appropriations, but Speaker Rines will not have it, hence the trou- ble. Solidiy back of Mr. Spooner is Thomas Kneeland and Charles Saw- yer of Minneapolis and tkey will join any insurgent movement that he may attempt. ‘ Ai i - J. T. Schain of Minneapolis, presi- dent of the state board of visitors, is a candidate for P. M. Ringdal’s job on the state board of control and some of the latter's friends are now unkind enough to hint that Mr. Schain’s ac- tivity in a late examination: of the Hastings asylum was for the purpose of discrediting Mr. Ringdal and mak- ing his removal easy. The examina- tion, which brought to light alleged cruelties to the patients, was anything but a credit to the board and though the board of control members ciaimed the charges could easily be disproved the knock administered by the state board of visitors was the first to greet the public eye. Commissioner Swer- ten, Governor Eberhart’s member on the board, I am told, was anything but Pleased with the report of the board of visitors. fi Bee Would Be Terrible. “The doctors are going to operate on her.” “What's wrong?’ “Something: about the stomach, I understand.” coat of her “1 bope they don’t Gnd its out of style.
