SIDE WITH JOHNSON
Many Republican Senators to
Indorse King Appointment

Influential Republican senator's late
yesterday afternoon announced their
firm belief that John E. King, of Red.
Lake Falls, would be confirmed by the
senate as state librarian.
The action of the senate in excepting
the nomination of Mr.. King from the
list of Gov. Johnsons nominations as
heads of the state departments re-
suited in many Republican senators
calling on Gov. johnson in the after
noon to assure him of their personal
friendship and esteem. Several of the
number were confident that the Red
Lake Falls editor would be confirmed
| when the senate committee having the
nomination in charge makes its report.
Gov. Johnson late yesterday after
noon absolutely refused to discuss the
action of the senate in referring the
King appointment to a committee with
the understood intention of holding it
up and preventing confirmation.
From other sources, however, it was
learned that practically all of the Re-
publican senator's who are not includ-
ed in the so-called senatorial patron
age trust, and a number of the Repub-
l1can senator's who are in the list of the
elect in the senate, will join with the
Democrats and will vote to confirm Mr..
King. Several of the Hennepin county
senators have declared their intention
to make the matter a personal one and
strong pressure is being exerted by
these men on their fellow senators who
began the fight on King to yield. to a
demand for harmony. Aside from the
strong personal following of Gov. John
| son in the senate, leading Republican
senators declare that nothing will be
gained by inviting quarrel with the
executive.

PETERSON BACK WITH
HIS GOOD ROADS BILL
Measure Is Practically Same as Presented
at Last Session.

Representative Ole Peterson, of Nicollet
county, yesterday introduced his good
roads" bill in the house. sThe bill is
practical duplicate of the measure pre-
sented by Mr.. Peterson to the legislature
of 1903, but which failed to pass His
state Good Roads association, which will
assist in an effort to put 1t through both
branches of the legislature
The Peterson bill provides for the crea-
ton of non partisan state highway com
mission, one member to be named from
either the First, Second or Seventh con-
gressional districts. enc from the Third,
Fourth or Fifth districts, and one from
The Sixth, Eighth or Ninth districts.
They shall be appointed on plan which
will make them rotate in office, one TO
retire each year. and the normal term is
three years. Commissioners shall serve
without salary, but they shall have au-
thority to employ secretary who shall
be an expert road engineer and builder.
at $500 year The attorney general
will be ex-officio the attorney of the COM
mission.
Revenues for the commission are to be
provided by the imposition of a one
twentieth of "a mill tax on all property in
the state the proceeds to go to the road
and bridge fund. An appropriation of
$4,000 is provided for expenses for 1906
County commissioners, wishing to avail
themselves of the benefits of the law, will
prepare plans for the road to, be built and
the commission is authorized to pay one
third of the total cost.
The Peterson bill differs in many es-
sentials from the good roads bill intro
duced Tuesday by L. H. Johnson, of Hen
nepin. Both bills have been referred to
the committee on roads and bridges. anu
the house will be largely guided by the
report of the committee.

WILL RIGHT ERROR
Van SAINTS Forgotten Appoint
ments to Be Confirmed


The failure of Gov. Van SAINT to send.
to the senate during the days when it
was in session before he had retired
from the Office of governor, the list of
his recess appointments. has raised the
question of the legal effect of his omis-
sion.
GOV. Van SAINT failed to prepare a
list of his appointments, which includ-
eu oInces from associate justice of the
supreme court to notaries public, and
10 transmit them to the senate. The
llsl, II is SAID, when prepared for trans
mission TO the senate, will contain al
most 1000 names, and the late gov
ernor has volunteered to assist Gov.
Jonnson,s office force in putting it in
proper condition for transmission to the
senate.
Attorney General E. T. Young was
asked yesterday if the failure to pre-
sent the list Of Van SAINTS nominees
TO the senate for confirmation on the
opening day of the session had had the
or of destroying the legality of the
official acts of the appointees.
NO, cannot agree with either prop
osltion,' the attorney general said.
GOV Van SAINTS failure to present the
list OF his recess appointments to the
senate while he was still governor is
without doubt legal omission, but
Gov Johnson will naturally comply
with the resolution asking him to
transmit the list to the senate. The
officers named by Van SAINT and not
yet confirmed by the senate are de
facto officers, and their confirmation
by the senate now will have the effect
of validating their official acts
Gov. johnson was asked if his office
had raised question as to the legal
status of his predecessors appointees,
and he said he had not.
1t has nothing to do with our de-
partment," he said. 1--WE will certainly
comply with the terms of the senate's
resolution, and this will be done as
soon as our office force, in connection
with some clerical help to be furnished
by the former governor, can perform the
necessary labor 1 understand that the
list, including the notaries, will include
nearly 1900 names y
The governor gave an emphatic de-
NAL to stories in circulation about the
capitol that he would not send the list
of Van SAINT nominees to the senate,
because of the action of the senate
yesterday in excepting his appoint
ment of John E. King as state librarian
from his list of nominations to state
offices.

sentiments of the other speakers and
the senator's generally. Senator Schal-
Ter said:

! This is the first time in the course Of
twelve years that this body has been
called upon to commemorate the passing
away OF one of its members during the

with soiemnity, and On which we some

and when we look upon the sorrowing
mother that bore him, the wife of his

present taking part in this ceremony, we
| feel that perhaps it should have been
otherwise. In this knowledge, Mr.. Pres
1 ident, in this firm belief, can we do

and his friends said when they gave him
the last farewell, Thy will be done, on
