ON STRICT PARTY LINES
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
WHICH CONSIDERED THE MA
HOOD-BLAIR CONTEST
WILL BE FOUGHT ON THE FLOOR
Indications Are for Lively Time
when the Matter Comes
Before the House
Tuesday.

The partisan move, instigated by some
of the Republican members to deprive
Representative Mahood Of his seat and
give the place to Herbert F.. Blair, the
Republican whom Mr.. Mahood defeated
IL the election, did not commend itself
TO the rank and file of the party in the
house Yesterday with sufficient favor TO
enable the prompt action to be taken
which the Republican members OF the
committee on elections had hoped for.
Many Republicans as well as Democrats
assert that Mr. Manhood has established
n clear title to the Office and that Blair
has failed to demonstrate a single claim
upon it. Therefore they are opposed, for
mere political purposes, to unseating Mr..
Manhood. On the other hand there are a
number OF the Republicans who, with
out expressing any opinion as to the
right of either man to the place, ara in
ciiped to favor Manhood on less laud2be
grounds, claiming that for d house over
whelmingly Republican, to insist on GUST
ing one of the small minority, is bad
politics.
The five Republican members of the
committee, Dobbin LaYbourn, Kelly
Riley and Harden, submitted a ma iority
report yesterday recommending the re-
movaI of Mr.. Mahood. The two Demo-
cratic members, Cumming and Hickey
gave in a minority report urging the le-
tention of the representative III question
Mr. Dobbin endeavored to take "snap
judgment and force the houze into pre-
mature action before the matter had time
for any consideration whatever, by NOV
ing the adoption of the majority report.
jacobson, of Lac Qui Parle, protested
against this method, claiming that the
house would be unable TO vote intelli-
gently upon the case without further
light and moved that it go over until next
Tuesday, when it come up as the special
order. Mr. Dobbin insisted on imme-
date action and finally a compromise
was effected between him and Jacob son
to have the case brought up this morn
Ing at II o'clock as the special order.
A lively fight will doubtless ensue and
the conse Asus of opinion seems to be
that Mahood will keep his seat. Senator
Horton, who has fought for Mahood's in
terests. says he can't believe that the
house will unseat one of its members
without some evidence upon which to
base its action.
1t was shown by the reports that Ma
hood had received at the election 2O16
votes, and his opponent, Blair, 2,O10. The
Blair side claimed that sixteen votes had
been cast Illegally by residents who had
failed to take cut their second papers.
This was not disputed by the Manhood
counsel But out of this sixteen there
were only two who said they cast any
vote at all for representative, and one of
these, John Walsh, eighty years OF age.
said he voted for Mahood
1t was shown by the report of the mi
nority that in the district there were owe,
300 voters who failed to vote for a rep
resentative.
Senator Hiler Horton, Republican, will
act for Mr.. Mahood, and ex-Lieut. Gov

NO PARDON ANYWAY.

M PARDON AN 4 w "A l.
Lest Gov. Van SAINT forgets, it might
be well to notify him that the pardon Of
Mollie Morris has never been issued; that
the copy of the pardon made out by
his executive clerk has never been signed
by Chief Justice Start. or even by him
self, at this writing.
Lest Gov Van SAINT forgets, it might
be stated further that the act of 1887
creating a board of pardons and defining
its duties reads as follows in section 2:
Every pardon or Communication of sem
teNce shall be in writing and shall have
no force or effect unless the same was
granted by an unanimous vote by said
board convened as SUCH"
Attorney General Douglas is the only
one who has signed the pardon.
Section is also much in point, par
ticularly the last part of the last para
graph. The section reads:
THE governors private secretary, or in
his absence, the executive clerk shall be
and act as the clerk of the board of par
6ons and shall perform the duties herein
required of such clerk, and such other
duties as may be prescribed by said board
of pardons, without other or further COM
pensation. The board shall be supplied
by the secretary of state with such
books, blanks and stationery as shall be
| necessary. Said board shall preserve a
record of every petition received for a
pardon, reprieve or Communication of SEN
tence, and of every pardon, reprieve or
commutation of sentence granted or re-
fused and the reasons assigned there
for.
THE clerk shall keep such records and

as shall be prescribed by the board, and
all such records and files shall be kept
and preserved in the Office of the governor
at the state capitol, and shall be open

sonable tines

make some more explanations.

Election Bill.

BISMARCK, Jan. S1.-(Special 1.-The
sportsmen of the state are interesting
themselves in the proposed amendment
of the game laws and some recommends
tons will be made by them to the legis-
lative committees. The question of saw
ing the big game of the state from ex-
tinction becomes pressing one at this
time. Deer are growing fewer year by
year and antelope, which a few years
ago abounded On the Western prairies
are almost driven out by the onslaughtS
of the hunters. A bill to protect the lat
ter animals has been presented, prohibit
ing their killing for a period of ten
years. This law, If passed, would go far
toward restoring the bands of antelope
to somewhat of their former numbers
The annual slaughter of deer, particular
ly along the Missouri river, is large. To
protect them several plans are proposed.
One OF them is to prohibit the use of
dogs, which run down and enable hunt
ers to kill many of the animals. Another
proposed plan is to prohibit the sale of
venison in the markets. This, it is said,
would stop the annual slaughter of deer
for the market. and reduce the number
killed to those hunted purely for the
sport of hunting, and to furnish food
for the table of the farmer and ranch
man who lives where the deer are to be
found.
There is variety of opinion with
reference to the game laws on prairie
fowl and feathered game. In the west
ern part of the state the old law OPEN
ing the hunting season on Aug. 20 is
favored, but this plan does not meet
with favor in the eastern part of the
state. 1t is suggested that the season
be from Sept. l. to Oct 1 on chickens
On ducks, however, it is not believed
there should be a limit placed in the
fol
will permit them to be hunted from Sept
1 to the time they disappear southwark.
They are migratory birds and their fight
is uncertain.

The perquisites of the country printer
are few enough, and the meeting of the
State Press association, which convenes
will have a business as we'll as a social
side. The State Press association has
a committee appointed to look after
legislative interests, and the members of
the association viii probably constitute
themselves a committee to interview the
members from their several districts and
urge that the few laws on the statute
books that give the publisher of the
country newspaper a chance to make
ends meet be not repealed. Already
there is bill in to knock out the law
for the publication of election returns
by precincts. The compensation allowed
for this publication is small, not enough
to cover the cost Of composition, but 1t
helps out the newspaperman when it
comes to publishing the official vote from
his county, and it gives the state the
only statistics available of the precinct
vote at a general and state election 1t
is agreed that the press of the state,
which is almost unanimously Republican,
had considerable weight in the election
last fall, and it remains to be seen if the
legislators will remember this after the
election is over The printing committees
of the two houses are inclined to be fair
with the publishers and the latter will
not ask for anything unreasonable or
undeserved, so it ought to be possible
for the legislature and the newspaper
boys to come a little closer together this
year.

The case of Webster VS.. The City of
Fargo, which has been advanced for
hearing by the supreme court of the
United States, is one of great Importance
to the state, especially to the cities Of
Fargo and Grand Forks, where hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of paving
has been done under the state law, which
provides for front foot assessment of
costs to the property holders This nav
ing was done by these cities under laws
passed by the legislature several years
ago to enable them to do So and to pro-
vide for the creation Of Improvement dis
tricts and the payment of the costs in
ten years. Webster, who brought the
case, is large property owner, and he
opposed the constitutionality of the tax
on the ground that it could not be levied
by the front foot plan, but must be by
benefits and damages. The supreme
court Of the United States held the plan
of benefits and damages to be the proper
plan, and knocked out the other plan of
assessment in an Ohio case, which was
sweeping in it's effects. Notwithstanding
this decision, the supreme court of North
Dakota held that the assessment In this
state was valid, on the ground that,
while the assessment was based on the
front foot plan, the question of benefits
and damages was considered in making
the assessment. The Webster case brings
the case squarely before the supreme
court as to whether any system that pro-
vides for front foot assessment of costs
is valid or not, and the decision is await
ed with great interest in the case. If
the supreme court of this state should
be reversed the paving assessments
would fail, and the city would be liable
for the costs of the paving where indi-
viduals refused to pay.

Two years ago a law Was passed provid-
ing for this matter and making violations
Of the law punishable with a fine, which,
unfortunately for the fate of the law,
was not disposed of, the law not stating
where the fine exacted should go. the
bill was knocked out on this ground
Senator Ames, the author of the present
bill, says that all matters in which ped
ding license laws have proven weak in
the past have been remedied, and he be-
lieves the present measure will stand
