QUESTIONS ARISE.
O'Bfien.Hailam Recount May
@ Go Limit

The dropping of the prospective con-
test for district judge between T. D.
O'Brien and Oscar Hallam has not
caused gossip concerning the affair to
cease.
Persistent rumors were circulated
yesterday that it is altogether possible
that. the Democratic campaign COM
m1ttee will assume the responsibility
of having the recount made No mem
bers of the committee, who were seen,
however, admitted being aware of any
intent to act
Surmises of various characters were
brought out as result of this report
If the recount should be ordered on the
application of the committee and it
should be found that O'Brien is elected
and O'Brien fails to qualify, would Gov.
Johnson fill the vacancy? Could O'Brien
the appointment?
A canvass of the situation in which
the contest is now, also received much
attention. O'Brien filed his petition
asking for the recount, but has not
filed the points upon which he bases
his demand. By some it is claimed
that the time has expired in which such
a filing can be made. Others hold that
1t is not necessary to make known the
points until after the sitting of the
state canvassing board which will
about Dec. 20 order the. secretary of
state to issue a certificate of election
to the successful candidate.
Among Democrats there is a general
demand for a recount. Although the
showing made by the checkers left the
result apparently in favor of Hallam,
the difference was so small that it IS
thought likely that it could be over
come in an official recount of the votes.
This belief is largely based upon the
fact that the vote Of the First ward was
not examined. This was Hallam
stronghold, and there is reason to be-
lieve that O'Brien would gain sufficient
to be elected.

Pope Performs Rite of canonization

ROME, Dec. 6.-The, pope today held
a consistory for the canonization of
the blessed Gerardo Maiella and
blessed Alessandro SAUL, one of the
chief functions of the celebration of
the golden jubilee of the proclama
ton of the dogma of the immaculate
conception. The pOntiff went in pro-
cession to the hall of the consistory,
where there was a most imposing
gathering of high prelates, said to be
the largest since the fall of the tenn
poral power of the popes, but the pub
lie was not admitted. Pope Plus, wear
ing his full pontifical robes, seated
himself on the throne Immediately aft
er entering the hall. He then recited
in a SonorouS voice the prayerS4for the
occasion and proceeded to expound the
reasons which induced him to sane
tion the canonization of the new
saints, inviting the sacred college to
give their views, which the cardinals
read in Latin. The cardinals were fol-
lowed by patriarchs, archbishops and
bishops, including those from the
United States and Canada.
After this the pope proceeded to st.
Peters, where the solemn rites of
canonization were performed. Later
the pope received in St. Peters all the
members of the International congress
of the Virgin Mary, which met today
in Rome. Many foreigners, including
the American ecclesiastics now iTr
Rome, were present. The pope blessed
the crown, composed of twelve stars of
brilliants and valued at $4,000, which
will be placed on the Madonna, whose
image was crowned by Pope Plus TX.
when he proclaimed the dogma of the
immaculate conception. Replying to
the address of Cardinal Vannutelli, the
pope said the jubilee of the immaeu-
late conception was a new affirmation
of Christian feeling, true religion and
sincere loyalty to the pontificate. All
the prelates and others were permitted
to kiss the hand of the pope, including
a group Of about one hundred bishops
of all nationaiities.

alton. The action of the Hennepin
county house delegation, however, has
served to line up the recalcitrants for
Gilfllan, and when the senators de-
clare for him he will have the united
support of his home county on the
surface at least.
Realizing the value of a strong To-
cal support, st. Paul Republicans in
terested in Senator Ciapp's candidacy
have tried hard to secure a caucus
of the Fourth district members and
favorable declaration for Clapp. 1t is
very generally admitted that were a
caucus to be held Senator Clapp would
be Endorsed, but at least half of the
members of the Fourth district house
delegation are fighting shy of eau

John L. Oleson, of North Branch, a
ChiSago county member, who has been
sick for some weeks, was in ST. Paul
yesterday, and conferred with his col
leagues of-<tlle Fourth district. He
said he was for Senator Clapp because
his people are for Cfapp, but it is
doubtful if Qleson will go into a caucus
In advance of the meeting of the legis-
There was an. informal meeting of
the Ramsey county members of the
delegation yesterday, and last night
Arthur Gaines, candidate for enroll
ing clerk, announced that he had five
of the eight members of the delega-
ton. He had claimed Flower, Haskell.
SeIb and Rosenthal all the time, and
last night said that Gregory p Ritt
had withdrawn from the field and that
Representative Lemon had come out
for him. The country members of the
Fourth district, 1t was said, had de-
clared in favor Of the Ramsey delega-
ton making its selection of an enroll
Ing clerk and had said they would
join with the action of the majority.
Frank II. Holconab, who is backed by
Representative Hammergren for en-
rolling clerk, denied that he is out of
the running, and said that he would
yet be heard from in the contest for
the position.

LAY OVER FRANCHISE.
Aldermen Approve Form of
Lighting Company Ordinance

The franchise ordinance of the Union
Manufacturing company was approved
as to form by the board of aldermen
last evening and laid over for the ten
days specified by the city charter.
Referred to the corporation attorney
for any amendments that he might
suggest that would make the measure
as binding as the franchise recently
granted the ST. Paul Gas Light COM
pany, the measure came back with the
amendments that the applicants shall
guarantee to construct a plant within
one year, and that the city council has
the right to decide what Is reasonable
charge for the service given.
Aid. Moriarty and Bantz had a
heated argument as to the action that
should be taken. They finally agreed
that the discussion was due to a mis-
understanding. Mr.. Moriarty demanded
that the members of the board of alder
men should be. furnished with a copy of
the measure, and Mr.. Bantz thought
this meant delay in acting upon the
application for the franchise. Mr..
Bantz would not agree to such an ar
rangement.
Corporation Attorney Michael ex-
planned the situation to the satisfaction
of all concerned, saying that approval
of the form of the ordinance simply
meant it would again come before the
body in two weeks. Aid. Moriarty
and Bantz then agreed and the neces-
sary action approving the form was
taken.
: Carl Taylor. attorney for the st. Paul
Gas Light company, and E. c. Stringer.
attorney for the Union Manufacturing
company, the competitor of the gas
company on electric lighting and power
were present. Mr.. Stringer spent his
time looking over the ordinance in
amended form. and in telling the alder
men that his company was prepared to
conform to the restrictions mentioned.
Mr. Taylor mixed with the aldermen
and the numerous lobbyists who are
admitted to the floor Of the city council.
He did not comment on the probable
outcome.
Opinion on this application in the
council is uncertain. AT present the
Union Manufacturing company hass
franchise to furnish electric light and
power in the Tenth and Eleventh
wards. It applies for an extension of
its franchise covering the Fifth,
Seventh. Eighth and Ninth wards, and
its representatives appearing before the
council contend that it has sufficient
capital to give the service.

Harper's Book News
The
Masquerade

Any one or two reviews Of a
book or play are apt to be
misleading, but when all the
reviews agree, their united
judgment is SO entirely right
that one has no appeal. Take
this latest astonishing novel
and notice what the papers
all Of then1-are saying. What
unusual enthusiasm Listen,
for instance, to the GieUefand
Leader:
Hurry, hasten, hike! Don't waste a
moment. Put on your hat or your oon-
net, and run to the nearest store for
"The Masquerader." It's far and away
the most interesting novel of the year,
and it will be long time before we get
its equal. 1t is legitimately interesting
too. The plot thrills, and the people
grip. You get wrapped up in them and
their affairs as If they were human.
Toward the close of the book, when the
complications thicken and disaster
seems inevitable, your heart beats
faster. It's story that will keep you
out Of bed If you take it up for casual
nightcap chapter. You can't drop it
till you have turned fhe last page

NO. 25
Kootenai Republican Victory.

With the returns all in the Re-
pu olican victory in this county is
greater than at first supposed, so
far as it relates to the county tick
ct. There was no close vote for
any office. All the Republican cam
didates have large majorities, some
of (which are phenomenal. The
Republicans will have possession OF
every office in the county, except
ing only the auditor, who is Dem
ocratic holdover.
With victory, however, comes
grave responsibility. The party in
power must, at the end of the next
two years, give an accounting of its
stewardship, and if not satisfactory
to the taxpayers, its lease of power
will be shortlived.
Peculiar conditions have arisen
during the present administration.
The finances of the county have
been seriously crippled by the rail-
roads and other large corporations
refusing to pay their taxes. Taxes
have apparently increased and the
public debt looks larger, The treas
ury is empty. The voters, however,
have not held the Republican party
responsible for these con litions.
They have voted to give the Repub-
Leans another trial, and the Re-
publican party promises that when
the tax cases are through the courts
and the money due the county is in
the treasury, it will be able to make
satisfactory showing.
That our taxes are too high goes
without saying. Something must
be done to reduce this burden.
There must be rigid economy and !,
if need be, halt in public lmprov.
ments. The public would also like
to see slight reduction in the debt
of the county. That the new ad-
ministration, after the tax cases,
are adj usted, will be able to come
up to the xpectations of the peo-
pie is predicted by the HERALD.
