THIS IS TRULY TOUGH.
John GOOdnOw VIII Have to Con-
vene by Himself.

Supt. w. E. Lee, of the reformatory
at st. Cloud, suggests a dire possibility
for Minnesota politicians. 1t is not that
they are in special danger of confine-
n1ent under his charge, as the majority
of them have passed the reformatory
stage, but he thinks that the recent de-
cision of the supreme court will pre-
vent holders of offices from acting as
delegates to political conventions. He
bases this on the Winston election law,
which recognizes the members of such
conventions as regularly connected with
the state government.
