.PLUMS ARE NOW RIPE
A NUMBER OF APPOINTMENTS
MAY BE SENT IN
TODAY
MUCH CONJECTURE ABOUT 1T
Beyond HaIf-Dozen Positions
Which Are Semi-OfhciaIIy known,
1t Is Mainly q Guess Who VIII
Be Called by Gov. Lind-Cor-
ser's Chances Considered Good
Weiss for the Prison Board.

Ut Is expected that Gov Lind will
send number of his appointments to
the senate today and if the list is COM
plete 1t Is surmised there are going to
be some surprises. There is no doubt
but what a number Of the governors
selections are known and have been
published.
Hon. P. M. Ringdal. for instance, will
be the new railroad commissioner, and
Gen. E. M. Pope. Of Mankato, the next
bank examiner.
There is little. if any. doubt but what
j. M. Bowler will be named for dairy
commissioner. and J. J. Heinrich, of
Minneapolis. oil inspector. Byron J.
Mosier. of saltwater. it is generally I'M
derstood. has been decided upon weeks
ago for surveyor general of logs for
the Saltwater district.
A. G. Weiss will be given a position
on the prison board in place Of NJ o.
Hall. Mr.. Weiss is the proprietor of
the Duluth Herald. and the selection
Of a newspaper man for any Of the
state boards which have been given to
star chamber sessions will doubtless
be approved.
The question of who will be named
for other positions Is a matter Of con-
lecture. In fact. 1t is almost certain
that up to last night Gov Lind had
not reached any decision. The nstter
Of appointments has been given a back
seat for the last few days, and unless
the governor took the matter up last
night 1T is believed they are still in
the air.
The limits which the military code
put on these eligible for adjutant gen.
eral brings that selection down to a
possible few. AS G.. G. Lambert has
received strong Endorsements from the
national guard as we'll as from the
Ramsey county Democracy it is believ-
ed he may be the lucky one for the po-
sition, although Capt. Wood, of Aus
because of his location, be given the
place. There are other candidates for
the position.
1t seems to be the impression that
Mr. Corser will be given the surveyor
generalship of logs in Minneapolis.
Next to the fight for labor commission
ership that for the surveyor general of
the Minneapolis district has been the
keenest and bitterest, if bitterness has
entered into any of them. A strong
protest was made against Corser when
it seemed possible that he was going
to land but it is understood that he
came right back with a card that no.
body knew he held. and the result was
that he became stronger than ever. He
may pe expected TO get tnat position.
AS to the labor commissioncrship,
there is the same doubt There is no
question but that Louis Nash indorse-
ments were more numerous than those
of any other candidate; but t>SA nro-
tests against his selection were equal
~ vigorous. F. H. Clarke's ambi-
lions met with a similar fusilade, and
out of it all came the report that Mar
tin McHale was going to be the man.

The ballot boxes are to be returned
to the city clerk, or other official the
same as ballot boxes after an election,
and on the last registration day the
judges and clerks Of election are to
canvass the votes and report to the
canvassing board, which shall consist
of the clerk of the district court, the
chairman Of the county commissioners,
county auditor and a justice of the
peace.
The canvassing board shall, after
canvassing the ballots, certify the re-

DAYS PRIMARY ELECTION PLAN,
Provisions of a Bill Which VIII
Soon BE Introduced.

Provisions of Bill Which VIII
Soon BE Introduced.
One Of the bills to be introduced in
the legislature at an early date
is that drawn by Oscar F. G.
Day, of Minneapolis, and known as
the Day plan for holding primary
elections. The bill, together with such
other measures along the same line as
may be introduced, will be referred to
the committee on elections, and from
these measures the committee, it is eX
pected. will frame law which will be
effective and up-to-date.
The Day measure provides for the
abolition of primary elections in that
the ballots are to be cast on registra-
ton days. This is a decided innova-
ton, and it is probable that the poll
ticians who are not particularly inter-
ested in reforms of this kind may op-
pose it. g7u
One of the arguments which it is
suggested will be urged against the
measure, is that between the days of
registration there would be too much
of an opportunity for manipulating the
ballots. e &c
The bill provides thataany political
party which has cast 49, per cent Of
the total vote at the last preceding
election for its leading candidate, or
shall present to the county auditor a
petition signed by 10 per- cent Of the
qualified voters of the county, asking
to have a primary election ticket may
have ticket.
Ten days before the first registration
day for any general OF special election
any person eligible to an Office appear
ing before the county auditor is to
have, on the payment of $40 to the au-
diter, his name placed on the primary
election ballot
The auditor is to have prepared uni
form, tickets for each political party
tie same to be distributed among the
registration Judges five days before the
registration.
Upon registration days each quail
fed elector, after registering, is to be
given each of the primary election bal

vote for his choice for each position,

All of these. excepting few life convicts in
the state prison, were under discipline dis
tinctly reformatory In it's aims. The ends
attained are most encouraging. No group of
kindred institutions can be found with records
Of better results But the state of Mime
sofa has not only led in this work of re-
forming offenders, young and old; it has been
a pioneer in establishing institution with
a distinct object Of preventing The soung from
entering upon lives of crime. This is tone
by the state school at OWatonna u hich seeks
to take all children from vicious homes and
associates, and, after a temporary sojourn at
the school, finds them new homes where they
will be surrounded with incentives for virtue
and rectitude. Not only has Minnesota led
in the Introduction and development CT the re-
'formabCTy features of penal Institutions; 1t
has also gone far in developing second vital
principle of good prison management little
perceived recognized fifty years ago-the
duty of the state to 50 arrange the occupa-
tions of its prison inmates as to make their
labor as little injurious and as beneficial as
possible for the workers In free or non-prison
labor. The managers of the state prison. the
reformatory and the training school have
all fully accepted this rule and have applied
1t in all respects as fully as any state with
one exception, and in one feature have gone
further than any other. In the state prison
only AZ per cent CT the inmates are engaged
in occupations which in any way compete
with outside labor in the state, ana nearly
Is per cent 50 employed as to protect the
farmers in most years from the extortion of
the manufacturers of binding Irvine. No other
state can offer an illustration of prison labor
thus utilized to benefit free labor. The re-
formatory and training school, with the excep-
tion last noted. make the same good showing
as the state prison.

The humanity and honesty of the manage

THE BAND CONCERT.

The open air concert by the DEBORAH
City Band at their camp at "The
Pines" Friday evening, was one of the
leading social events of the summer
season. The grounds were lighted by
a tasty arrangement of japanese Ian
TENS and torches, and presented very
inviting appearance. Early in the eve
ming people began to arrive in carriages,
on bicycles and afoot, and before time
for the concert to begin an immense
crowd had gathered. The band never
played better and every one was highly
pleased with the reception accorded
them and with the superb renditions
of difficult overtures and selections by
the band. 1t was indeed an event in
which ii was delight to participate
and all are profuse in their thanks to
the band for this musical treat.
