WILL WRITE OF
DEVILS LAKE

V. Gram Of this city, received a let
ter the latter part of last week from
Ivar Kirkegaara, the famous Norweg-
ian lecturer, who recently visited this
city. Mr. Kirkegaard stated that he
was writing series Of articles rela-
tive to his recent lecture tour which
were being published in the ''Norden,'
a Scandinavian paper of very large
circulation. which is published at Ra:
cine, Wis, and he asked Mr.. Gram to
send him some cuts for use in illus
trating his article relative to this city.
Mr.. Gram sent him number of cuts
of the principal business buildings of
Devils Lake and some Chautauqua
! views for his use. It is expected that
they will appear in the 'Norden" in
the near future and when they do it
will be a very fine advertisement for
Devils Lake, as the paper is circulated
largely among the Scandinavians
throughout the United States.

which Representatives in Congress are
elected, prohibiting fraud In registrar
lions and elections, and providing data
for the apportionment of Representa-
tives among the states.
The bill provided, first, for the pub
licity of contributions made for the
purpose of influencing elections at
which Representatives in Congress are
chosen. 1t provided that the term
political committee" should include
the national committees of all political
parties and the national congressional
committees of all political parties and
all committees, associations or organi-
cations which shall in two or more
states influence the result or attempt
to influence the result of an election at
which Representatives in Congress arg
to be elected.
The bill provided, in the second
place, for the punishment of fraud in
registration and elections, including
concerning the vote cast as compared
Ito the population, with view of carry
! ing out the provisions of the 14th
amendment.
| Regarding the publicity of campaign
contributions both parties were appar-
emily agreed, but the Democratic party
objected strenuously to the provision
providing for the punishment OF fraud
In registration and elections, and also
sentation of data with view to carry
ing out the provisions of the 14th
amendment
1t must be understood that this lat
ter provision did not require reduc-
ton of representation, but simply pro-
vided for the presentation of data bear
ing upon the subject, which would
enable Congress, if it saw fit, to ap-
portion representatives among the sew
eral states, in accordance with the
14th amendment to the Constitution.
The bill passed the house by a vote
of ISL to 126-all the affirmative votes
being republican and all the negative
being democratic. There were eight
members present and not voting and
ninety-three absent. The bill was then
sent to the Senate and referred to the
] committee on privileges and elections.
All leading democrats, however, open
ly threatened to talk the bill to death
] if it came up. 1t was not reported to
the Senate and will go over to the
next session.
: Little further need be said about the
3 bill and it's progress. It was the so
e called Mccall publicity bill with the
l. amendments noted, and in every way
carried out the desire of all who have
4 clamored for so-called publicity cam
l. paign measure. The amendments were
S very proper ones and of kindred ma
=. ture to the spirit of the bill, providing
J. as they did, simply for honest cleo
v tons throughout the entire country o
else the penalty provided for in tn
l. Constitution.
