Primary Election Law Stands.

The primary election law stood like
decree of King Darius. 1t successfully
defied all attempts to change it's text.
This was due in part to feel
ing that the law is better as it is. and
partly to enemies of the primary system,
who We're unwilling to see it improved.
They would not permit excluding congress,
sional and judicial candidates from the
primary system. They also rejected the
efforts toward a nonpartizan judiciary
and railroad and warehouse commission,
which proposed to put candidates on both
primary ballots without party designa-
tion. Both houses rejected the PROPOSE
tion to print all tickets on one ballot, the
voter to select which party he will vote
Tor Some minor amendments were made
In the election laws. One. by Senator
Schain prohibits voters who have signed
petitions for independent candidates from
voting at party primaries. One by Rep
resentative Cole permits returns to be
sent from different polling places by
registered mail. A bill by George r.
Smith takes away the vested right of
small political party in it's name, unless it
polls l. per cent Of the vote. This will
cause trouble to the socialists.

Many Resolutions Passed.

This was a great session for resolutions,
which came in almost every day. Among
the important ones was the usual declara-
ton for election Of United States senators
by popular vote. which was introduced by
Senator Calhoun Senator Morgan's reso-
luton declaring for free lumber was passed
with little opposition. but reciprocity with
Canada was not favored by the senate. the
members representing farmer constitu-
encies objecting that reciprocity would re-
duce the price of Minnesota wheat
Senator Lord made two Intellectual at
tempts to cut the session short, The first
named April 2 as the day. and was tabled.
The second naming April Is, was passed
by the senate, but the house amended it
to make it the 18th. and by that time 1t
was too late to risk any shortening of
the session, so the conference committee
never met. p" Eir'.s ."s7-.E 80 Ete..r. '.,s +.

Military Matters.

Legislation of great Importance to the
national guard marked the session. The
military code passed early. 1t makes
little change in the system, except bet
ter provision for the Lake City camp
grounds, and a change in the medical
staff by which it's members will be as
signed permanently to. regiments instead
Of having a separate organization. Later
came the Eberhart bill limiting the terms
of general and field officers to ten years,
which compels General Bend and sew
eral others to come up for a reelection.
A resolution by Senator Cole gives the
governor authority to send the guard to
ST. Louis in 1904. after mobilizing at Lake
City, and the 1905 appropriation will be
drawn on for the trip. ST. Paul's armory
bonds were validated, and an issue Of
s150OO0 for the same purpose authorized
In Minneapolis.
The II. l.. Lewis bill creates a COM
mission Of officers to prepare a history
of Minnesota in the Spanish war, and
gives them $4,000 for expenses.
