SDeciaI Session.

Gov. Robert LaFollette has called
special session of the legislature. While
the Cover DOR states specifically the rea-
sons for which he convenes the legisla-
ture, he leaves enough unsaid to
keep his enemies, in the stalwart camp,
guessing. Some impute that it is made
for the purpose of helping along Len
roots gubernatorial boom; others to
bolster up the governors machine, and
others say that the governor wants to
resign as u. S. Senator and have |. l..
Lenroot or Isaac Stephenson elected to
the position. The governors procla-
nation is as follows:
