The Direct Legislation Victory in
Illinois.

But perhaps the most important
election held in the West last week
was one the result of which was not
even mentioned in most press dis
patches. In Illinois, as we stated a
month ago, the petition of over a
hundred thousand voters secured the
submission of three important ques-
tions to ascertain public opinion re-
specting them. These questions re-
lated respectively to direct legisla-
ton in State affairs, direct legisla-
ton in local affairs, and the popular
election of the United States SEN
ators. The questions relating to di-
rect legislation were so crudely ex-
pressed that they did not promise
to secure affirmative answers from
all believers in the principle pre-
sented, but it now appears that the
manner of formulation did not ma
terially affect the result of the vote.
Briefly stated, the first question

The returns from the rest of the
State indicate that all the PROPOSE
tions were endorsed by heavy ma
jorities in every county, and by ma
jorities exceeding three to one in
most of them. This remarkable vote
in Illinois, following the overwhelm-
ing majority by which the voters of
Oregon adopted the direct legisla-
ton amendment to their Constitu-
ton brings the issue into practical
politics in every part of the coun-
try. The increase of popular dis
trust of legislative rule, occasioned
by the growing power of the lobby in
State capitols and city halls, and
the increase of popular faith in pop
ular government, both find express
sion in this extraordinary turning
toward direct legislation.-New York

The unofficial list of members of
the House of Representatives in the
F~ifty-eighth Congress, issued by
Thomas M. Mckee, journal clerk of
the House, after every district has
been duly accounted for, shows that
the number is 2O8 Republicans and
178 Democrats. All minor political
distinctions disappear from this list,
all members ranging themselves
~squarely with one or the other of the
dominant parties. There are 131 new
names in the new list, of whom 90
represent the additional districts
provided for under the apportion-
ment based on the twelfth census,
making the net change from the
membership of the present House
1O2. Of the new members of the
whole number, 20 are Democrats and
81 Republicans.

GENERAL NEWS
The "shOrt Session" of Congress.

The "Short Session" of Congress.
On the first day of December the
Fifty-seventh Congress will meet in
Washington for it's second session.
The life of the present Congress ends
by law on March 4th; it therefore
has only three months in which to
work. That period, even, is shortened
by the holiday recess, and little more
than eight weeks is available for
serious business.
Certain things must be done, most
important of all the passage of the
appropriation bills. The preparation
of these measures and the debate
upon them will take up considerable
time, and leave not much for new
matters.
The consideration of a reciprocity
treaty with Cuba by the Senate, or
a Cuban reciprocity amendment to
the tariff law by both branches, is
probable. Settlement of commercial
relations with Cuba was postponed
at the last session.
Although various propositions
were made last winter for extending
the control of the general govern
ment over corporations, none of them
was adopted. 1t is certain that the
discussion of this question will be
renewed this winter. It is certain,
also, that propositions will be made
to regulate the great corporations
known as trusts" and that the la
Dor troubles of the summer and au-
tumn will yield their crop of bills
to make impossible the stoppage of
any great industry at an expense of
the inconvenience and suffering of
great communities.
The appropriation bills will be
passed, but it is useless to speculate
as to the fate of any other measures.
Before a bill can get before the
House of Representatives it must be
reported by the proper committee,
and before it can come to a vote
the Speaker and the Committee on
Rules must consent. Their attitude
will depend on the exigencies of par
tisan politics, as well as on the

that the Southern white Republicans
are all In favor of Senator Hanna,
and, regardless of the latter's wishes,
will cast their first vote for him in
the next National Convention. In
an interview yesterday Postmaster
General Payne said that the Presi-
dent would not recommend to Con-
gress the curtailment of Southern
representation, but added that he
personally favored the reduction of
the Southern delegations In the Ma
tionaI Convention. He said that he
thought the basis for representation
in the National Convention should
be the number of votes cast in each
district. While it is not easy to
obtain accurate information in
Washington concerning the attitude
of the Southern organizations, there
is a growing belief that the antago-
nism to Mr.. Roosevelt is developing
in the Southern States.
CANNON AND THE sPEAKERsHIP.
The withdrawal of Representative
Babcock from the speakership con-
test in favor of Representative Can
non is regarded by many as ending
the contest, to all intents and pur-
poses. A number of other State del
egations have FASTENED to get in line
and are seeking to gain favor with
Mr.. Cannon by pledging to him their
unanimous support. Representative
Dalzell declares, however, that the
race is far from run, and that he
has nailed his flag to the mast. Gas
the lines are drawn at present, the
contest seems to be narrowing down
to a fight between the tariff revision
lists and the anti-revisionists," said
Mr.. Dalzell to-day. Nothing def
mite regarding the result will be
known until the members of the
House get together in Washington,
and it may not be known them" added
the Pennsylvania candidate.
CURTAILING THE POWER OF THE
SPEAKER
Apropos of the speakership CON
test, there is a growing belief that
if Mr.. Cannon is elected he will have
a large-sized fight on his hands to
preserve the extensive powers which
his predecessors have recently en-
joyed. The sentiments to which
Representative Cushman, of Wash
ington, gave ~utterance in n of the
most brilliant speeches of last ses-
sion, are shared by a large number
of the younger members. With the
passing of Speaker Henderson, the

of calling them, will make a dash

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Late News Regarding Cuban Affairs, the
Speakership and Other Public Affairs.


Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
With a view to surmounting the
many difficulties which threatened
his Cuban reciprocity progress, the
President, in conjunction with Sec
rotary Hay, has adopted a plan which
he believes will meet with the cor
dial approval of the Cuban authori-
ties and will insure to the United
States a virtual monopoly of the
Cuban trade. The treaty which Gen
eral Bliss, as Minister Plenipoten-
tiary, has gone to Havana to nego-
tiate, provides that in return for a
reduction of 90 per cent from the
Dingley schedules on Cuban goods
entering this country, Cuba shall
maintain her present rates of duty
ON goods imported from the United
States and shall increase rates not
less than so per cent on the same
goods coming from all other coun-
tries. While General Bliss is in
structed to secure this concession
in return for a 20-per-cent reduction
from the Dingley rates, he is author
lied to make the reduction Is per
cent if necessary to obtain his OBJ
ject.
TO DEFEAT CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Notwithstanding the fact that in
many instances members of Congress
we're more or less severely rebuked
by their constituents for their oppo-
sition to Cuban reciprocity, there
will be an organized effort made at
the approaching session to defeat the
Presidents and, it would seem, the
peoples, wishes. Mr.. Henry 7. Ok
nard, head of the Beet Sugar Trust,
has engaged a winter residence in
Washington and is already organic
ing for the winter campaign. Open
opposition will not be the policy of
the opponents of Cuban reciprocity.
On the contrary, they will out-Herod
Herod in their desire to promote
reciprocity, and their efforts to carry
into effect the recommendations in
the coming message of the President.
Their idea is to make the ratification
of the Cuban treaty conditional on
the ratification of the Kasson trea-
ties. These treaties are seriously
opposed by many Senators, and it
is believed that in the successful eff
fort to defeat them the Cuban treaty
will go down with the wreck.
The election of Senior Portuondo
to the speakership of the Cuban
House of Representatives, the news
of which has just reached Washing
ton, is regarded as boding no good
to the task set General Bliss. The
new Speaker is known to be intensely
anti-American and will doubtless pre-
sent serious obstacles to the negotia-
ton of the proposed treaty.

of the President in removing certain

asked whether the voters favored a
referendum upon acts of the Legis-
lature whenever 5 per cent of their
number petitioned therefor, and a
referendum upon proposed legisla-
tive measures whenever 8 per cent
of their number petitioned. The
second question asked whether the
voters desired a corresponding refer
endum upon measures adopted by
or proposed before city councils and
other local governing bodies. The
great majority of legislative candi-
dates bound themselves to endeavor
to carry out the will of the voters as
expressed in the election, though the
vote had no mandatory effect upon
legislation. In Chicago the COM
plete returns as tabulated by the
Record-Herald were as follows:

HACKFELD-DAVIES
WIN FIRST GAME
Get a Goal the Best Of the Poor
Old Wanderers Who We're
Unlucky.

The Hackfeld-Davies Association
football team won their first game on
Saturday at Makiki, downing the Wan
derers by the score of goals to /.
At 4:30 o'clock the elevens lined up
as follows:
Wanderers-Goal. Motley; fullbacks,
osborne and Cockburn; halfbacks, Os-
borne, Stokes and Aylett; forwards,
Blackman. Cation, Simpson and Wa
terhouse.
Hackfeld-Davies = Goal, Dusenberg;
fullbacks, Beardmore and Brett; half
backs, Churton. Sinclair and Stopp;
forwards. Catherall, Guild, Morse and
| Berger.
ID. w. Anderson acted as referee.
The winners played one man short
the game.
Hackfelds pressed from the start and
it was not long before Morse came
near scoring. The play was then
transferred for a while to the Hackfeld
territory and Cotton would have done
the trick, but for Dusenberg's good
work in goal. Give and take play en-
sued, and the ball finally came to
Morse, who sent it under the bar,
drawing first blood for the Allies.
Soon after the kickoff, Cation mar
rowly escaped scoring for the Wander
ers, the ball hitting the bar. The ball
was then taken toward the Wander
er's goal and Morse missed a shot. Not
to be denied, he tried again and this
time successfully.
The Wanderers wandered down the
field and Cation gave Goalkeeper Dusen-
berg a job. He got the ball again, bat
kicked as though he had blistered his j,
toes, missing a good chance TO score. |
Then Blackman shot for goal, but the
cross bar spoiled the effort. A little |
while afterwards, however he placed a
goal to the credit of the Wanderers. The |
score at half time was: Haclxfeld-Davies |
