Senator Barker doesn't care for Rev
G. Wahlund, and when the question of
ratifying Gov. Lind's recess appoint
ments came up in the senate yesterday
he announced that he wanted Mr.. Wah-
lund excepted from the approved APP
pointees.
Asked by the Globe reporter as to
his grievance against Rev. Mr.. Wahlund,
the senator would not commit himself.
You may say that he is persona non
grata to the Republicans of Isanti coun-
ty-that he is offensive partisan.
That is really all I have to say OF the
matter
The matter of ratifying the appoint
ments was laid over to be considered
next Tuesday, as was the considerati n
of governors messages.
Senator Stockwell moved the considera-
ton of Gov. Lind's recess appointments,
and Senator G1ee moved that they be
considered in executive session That
motion had familiar sound and provok-
ed discussion, and was finally withdrawn.
Senator Baker here made his objection
to Rev Mr.. Wahlund, and a motion to
consider the appointments in executive
session was made. After some tart dis
cuss1on Senator JONES' J. D., remarked
that the motion was not in proper order,
and il was withdrawn.
A resolution recommending that con-
greSS call a constitutional convention for
the purpose Of determining the att:tuGe
OF the people upon the question of the
popular direct election Of United States
senators was introduced by Senator
Stockwell and referred to the judiciary
committee, with the Recommendation
that the committee consider it with all
due speed.
