BILL CHANDLERS' TIP.

He Urges North Dakota to Fight
Hard for Supremacy in the New
State.
BISMARCK, Dak., July 3.-The omni-
bus bill made no regular provision for
stenographer, but on the understanding
that such an expense would in all
probability be allowed by the general
government, and for the reason that
verbatim reports of all debates will aid i'm
the Interpretation of the constitution by
the courts, R. NJ. Tuttle, of Mandan,
will Of1ciate in that capacity during the
sessions of the constitutional conven-
, ton. West Superior, Wis, formally in
Vlted the convention, as a body, to at
tend the National Waterways conyen-
ton to be held in that city on Aug. 6,
and the Invitation was referred to
special committee of five. The stand
ing committees of the convention were
then announced by the president.
There are tWenty-three committees, of
which the Democrats receive the
Craftsmanship of three-that of the COM
mittee on Judiciary being given to
Judge John E. Garland, of Bismarck;
A. f. Appleton, of Crystal, being chair
man of the committee on county and
township organization, while w. E.
Purcell. of WahpetOn, will preside over
that committee which has 'miscellan-
eOus" matters for its consideration. The
Republican committee chairmen are as
follows: Printing, Roger Allen, of
Grafton; reporting and publication, ].
F. Selby, Hillsboro; accounts and eX-
penses, o. G. Meacham, OF Darlington:

Bottineau; of the committee to con-
slider subjects relating to corporations
other than municipal in the above, Mr.
Johnson, chairman; and it is worthy
OF notice that he is classed
as prominent among the so-called
anti-railroad people. He promised
perfect justice to all corporations. The
chairman of the committee on temper
ance, A. P. Hugen, is pronounced in
favor of constitutional prohibition and
his committee is also of the same view
on that subject. 1t is probable that this
question will be submitted to vote of
the people in the form of an amend

of the convention, Gov. Mellette deliv-

in modern times and urged attention to

spirit of progress, and expected that the
Dakotas would work together for the
good of both at home. as well
as at the national capital. Mr..
Purcell called attention to the reported
