TWOAMENDMENTS
Will Be Voted on and Officers
Elected at Commercial
Club.

There will be an important meeting
OF the Commercial club tonight. The
two amendments to the constitution
which we're not acted on last week will
come up for discussion tonight, and
officers for the ensuing year will also
be elected. Considerable interest was
manifested in last weeks meeting,
and it is expected that the attendance
tonight will be fully as great.
The amendment proposed to Arti-
Gle ], section s, and which will un-
doubtedly be passed, is as follows:
"The membership fee for admission
to the club shall be one dollar, ultil
the lst day Of December, 1906, after
which date all members shall be re-
Qured to pay the sum Of five dollars
admission fee. Each member shall al
so pay annual dues Of twelve dollars,
payable one dollar in advance at the
first of each month" "
AS to the other amendment, though
there will be plenty of discussion. 1t
provides for the election Of the secre-
tary by the board Of directors, in
stead Of by the whole club as At pres
ent, and also for the increase Of the
number Of directors from to Z. 1t is

Granville Q, Craig Of Big Cabin,
who was mentioned for delegate to
the constitutional convention by
some of the Democratic farmers who
have not gone into ecstacies over the
candidacy Of w. III Kornegay, is out
with a card in which he declines to
make the race and declares in favor
of Mr. Kornegay
Just at present the Democratic
leaders are laborlng with Mr.. Korne-
gay in an effort to persuade him to
change his views on the initiative
and referendum. In most parts Of
the new state the Democrats, ais we'll
as the Republicans, will declare in
favor of the initiative and referen-
dun, and will make this one of their
strong plays. Mr.. Kornegay, how
ever, has declared publicly against
the form Of the initiative and refer
endum which has the endorsement Of
the farmers unions and which IS in
operation in Oregon. He fayors a
peculiar plan whereby the minority
of the legislature shall have power to
refer measure to the people for vote.
1t is not known how Mr.. Kornegay
will take to the idea Of giving up his
pet plan. He Is somewhat tenacious
Of his ideas, and may give his adj

on her correspondents arrival, she recog-

a callous imposter whose resemblance TO

The retirement OF Henry Labouchere
from British politics will make the smoking
room of the House of Commons duller.
He delighted in his many curious and in
teresting adventures. OF his running for
Windsor in 1866 he tells as follows: ION
the day of the election everything turned
on about half a dozen votes l remember
one Tory went out to fish in a punt, and
the boatman who accompanied him was
induced to keep him well out in the middle
of the river until the polling hour had
passed. Another aged and decrepit Tory
was kept in his house by having cabs
run at him whenever he tried TO issue
from his door. Finally the liberals won the
day. On this the Tories petitioned. The
committee decided that there had been no
bribery, but unseated my colleague and
myself because they thought that we had
hired an excessive number of committee
