Bismarck, Feb. II Especially There
was something doing at the capital
Saturday afternoon both in the )egis-
latnre and in the executives office.
Gov. Burke sent to the senate the
first OF his. patronage gifts and pubic
hOnors, which were in a sealed envel-
ope, which was considered by the
senate in executive session for short
time. The selections for the trustees
of the institutions named comprise
the majority OF the trustees OF
the institutions, in = the state
where vacancies were to be filled.
and the new ..names selected by
the governor are, it is understood,
mostly democrats in politics, or re-
publicans with democratic affiliations
No evidence as to what the senate
will do in.the matter OF confirmation
has been discovered but it is said
that feeling exists among the men,
bers to confirm all such appoint
/ ments, where the men are regarded
as suitable tor the position named.
With the legislature itself there
were some surprises, Friday the house
defeated Ueland's initiative and
referendum bill but it was reconsid-
ereu Saturday and passed by vote
OF "A to II, absent and not voting.
The passage OF the bill shows the
success OF Mr.. Ueland S. efforts as a
former populist and democratic men,
Der and a man who can stick to an
idea and take advantage OF the
change in sentiment. A few years
ago it would have Deen impossible to
get such bill through either house.
The bill was passed in the house
however only after the feature pro-
viding for submitting OF constit1-
tional amendments to the people was
stricken out. This was done to get
the prohibition vote for the bill,
otherwise the measure would have
been lost. The passage OF the bill
excluding the right to have the peo-
pie vote for any amendment to che
constitution Is regarded as special
narrow legislation and as showing
that the prohibitionists are fearfu! OF
tire result If the people are allowed
to vote again On the question OF
amending the constitution. Changed
conditions of the state will sooner or
later dema nd a revision Of the constl-
tuition. Many restrictions now IN
the constitution are too limited for
the unparalleled growth of the state
which is hampered both in the cities
and in the country by the constitu-
tion. The people of the state will,
in the::opinion Of many we'll informed
men, in campaign where the prohl-
bition question is an issue, fully sus'
tain the present prohibition Ia"
when 1t would be much easier to en-
force than it is now or ever has been.
The growth of sentiment against tne
open saloon is steady notwithstand-
ing the arguments against 1t 10 the
lax enforcement of the law. IN the
senate, Mr.. Plains initiative and rel
erendum hill was also passed except
ing the possibility of the referendum % q
