DISCUSSED BY DAKOTAlARs.

2Lnrge Number of the People From
the Territory in 81, PauI-Whas They
Say.
St. Paul PIJneer Press, 4th: Dakota
was we'll represented In st. Paul yester-
day. Among those about the hotel cor
ridors were Secretary Mccormack, Grand
Forks; Hon. Charles T. Mccoy and Nal.
w. A. Moore, Aberdeen; Hon. M. FL.
Day, Rapid City; John e. Haggart and
W. P. Miller, Fargo; Hon. Alex Hughes,
Bismarck; W. FL. Farmhouse. Valley
Oity; DR.. w. b. Warren, Darlington; Sam
L. Glover, Sioux Fslls; j. s. Eckeiman
| and Charles q. Holt, Grand Forks. II
WIS not in any sense a political gather
ing, and most Of the gentlemen claimed
to be in st. Paul on businee, OF just
passing through the city, The fact that
Hon. q. o. Mellette of Watertown, the
governor of South Dakota under the
! ioox Falls constitution. was expected, !,
but failet to put III appearance, gave
rise to the suspicion that the meeting OF
SO many Dakotaisns was not all matter
of c1ance.
| The convention at jamestown for
| North Dakota was discussed by several
of the gentlemen. and though they all
claimed not to have very clear idea as
| to the intention OF those who were in
strumental in calling it together, they
! were hopeful, that it might be productive
of good, and that the bill set in motion
would result in the early admission o
both sections. Capt, Alex Hughes, who
is member elect Of the territorial Or un
oil, said that while he supposed be coulc
not be at the meeting, he believed ths,
it ives in good hands, and what was done
would be for tie best interests Of the
territory. The gentlemen from sontt
Dakota do not take that lively interest
in the jamestown convention that il
shown by the northern statesmen.
Msi. Moore and Charlie Mccoy arr
i from that portie n OF Dakota that is sup.
: posed to be in favor Of admission as
whole, but they are not making an,
I great effort to prevent admission. Mel
Moore said:
Our republican convention, which sen
delegations to Chicago. declsred for "a,

states. The republicans of oer section,
even though they naturally prefer ad-
mission as q whole, will not oppose the
measures in progress for division and
admission. 1t will make hnt little dif-
some decisive action should be taken as
soon as possible. We would of course
become d part OF South Dakota. / pre-
sume our people would prefer that this
section should not be admitted under the
Sioux Falls constitution. There was
SO little interest manifested in the mat
ter at the time--!he general belief being
that whatever was done would not
amount to anythipg--that it was for the
most part allowed to go by default. A
new convention will be best for South
Dakota.
In this connection prediction as to
what the Dakota legislature will do in
the matter OF division end admission
might be in order. Ii the matter is
brought up in the rieh. shape ii is prob
able that the Legislature will authorize
constitutional convention for both
sections OF the territory, and that they
will be called during the early summer.
The opposition to this scheme will come
largely from those who are interested d in
the Sioux Falls constitution and the
officers elected under its provisions.
Mr.. Mccoy was for many years land
officer at Aberdeen. He is 10 republican
and leans toward admission as whole.
In the early days there was not political
scheme affecting Dakota in which
Charlie Mccoy did not figure, He ac-
oepts division ii it comes, but objects to
an equal division Of the name. He
said:
Why should there be "South" Dako-
to and q NORTH Dakotap lis there not
brains enough in the territory to dis
cover name that would be suitable for
one section or the other without prefix
ing compass points as Distinguishing
mark2 Meke one section dakota" and
the other "Linooln" or anything else.
II those fellows in the north want the
name dakota" let them have 1t and we
will find name for our half. The
amount of ink that will be consumed in
writing those prefixes In the time to
come will make the Jim river navigable,
1t ie too bad to saddle future generations
with those long names. AS a matter of
fact think one name will be enough
and that the whole 10000 square miles
will be admitted under the name Of
dakota
M. II. Day still adheres TO his deter
mination not to talk politics, but the
broad smile that spreads oyer his feat
urcs every time there is anything said
| about the early retirement ci Gov,
Church, indicates that Mr.. Day is per
ieotly satisfied with the turn affairs
have taken. He CLAIMS to be attending
to his mining busiaess in the Black Hills,
and his conversation shows that he finds
it far more pleasant than politics.

The Sioux Falls Press starts an ar,i-
Gle with this paragraph:
The Yankton Press wants new con-
stitntional convention. 1t wants this
npon the grouud that, unless there is
special session of congress, it thinks this
will be the quickest method for securing
statehood.
1t is well enough to be fully under
stood. The Press and Dskoteian does
not wanta new constitutional conven-
tion II statehood can be more speedily
secured under the old constitution. II
recognizes necessity for completing the
admission of the south half of Dakota
daring the life time of the next congress,
The succeeding congress may be DEM
ooratic. Admission can hardly be COM
pleted under the Platt bill (Which is the
old constitution during the existence Of
the incoming congress unless special
session is held and the Platt bill enacted
at that session. After the Piatt bill be-
comes law it is to be sent to the peo-
pie of Dakota fos ratification and then
back from the people to congress for
further final legislation. Under new
constitutional gathering, authorized by
the legislature OF Dakota, q constitution
could be adopted and ratified by the
time the new congress copvenes in regn-
lar session % year hence). Congress
could act upon il Immediately and the
state would be state without any more
bother. 1t is under such conditions
that the Press and Dakotaian wants g
new constitutional convention" There
Is another argument In favor of new
| constitutional convention-it would en-
| able us to sgree upon suitable name
for our state and cast out the proposed
prefix.
| The Sioux Falls Press states farther
along in its article that the old constitu-
tionsl convention is still in existence
and says:
It can assemble at any time and sub.
NIT to the people the same questions as
| those specified in the senate bill for re-
submission. The points sought to be
covered by such bill could be thereby
provided TOR, and the constitution be
made ready for immediate congressional
action.
There will probably be no objection
to this plan. It appears more feasible
| than the election of new constitutions
convention and would afford greai
saving of time. which is the importanl
element in the case. Our impression
when onr first article on the subject was
| written, was that the old constitutional
convention had expired. II the Press
| is correct in its statement that the con-
stitutional convention still exists, ther
| the Legislature need NOT be called upor
to authorize another constitutional or
ganization. 1t would be better, how
| ever, for that body to submit an entire
new constitution and not attempt tc
patch up the old one through amend
atory forms. This could be accomplish
ed and satisfactory constitution pre-
| sented for action at the opening OF tbs
next congress and under it the state
machinery set In motion by single ac
OF legislation. Unless there Is specIa
session OF congress this is the best ant
quickest plan. Dos il meet with the
approval of the Sioux Falls Press?
