A NEGLIGENT LEGISLATURE.

No Provision Made for Choosing Presi-
Dental Electors in North Dakota.
GRAND FORKS, April B.--It has been
discovered that the legislature made no
provision for election OF presidential elec-
tors, although law was passed requiring
them to meet at Bismarck the I'd Monday
in Janury to cast ballots. 1t is now too
late to provide for the election at the
polls unless special session of the legis-
lature is held.
A regular session of the legislature
meets the first Tuesday in January, six
days before the meeting of electors
should be held. The legislators can elect
electors, but the legislature may have q
Democratic majority, while the kepubli-
cans have majority in the state OF vice
versa.
It il suggested that an agreement be
made by the party leaders and form Of
voting for electors gone through with in
regufur mHnner, with the understanding
that the legislature endorse the action OF
the people by electing electors.
