There is little likelihood that the
present county convention plan OF
unprecedented electors and
state officers will be generally super
coded by the Australian system.
The latter plan is in operation in
South Dakota, and it is said that in
practice the people have less to say
than under our system. The trouble
appears to be that on purely politi-
cal questions the people decline to
vote. and a few interested voters in
each precinct work into the hands OF
the party leaders. who thus secure
their control more easily than they
could in a popular convention. With
all its possible faults, a county con
vention is usually a representative
gathering, and poorly attended pre-

G. A. R. GENERAL ORDER.

George A. Whitney, commander
of the department Of Minnesota,
Grand Army Of the Republic. has
issued general orders to all posts IN
Minnesota, to observe Saturday,
May 80, as Memorial day, in obedi-
ence to national general order, No.
5, designating this date to be cele-
brated with fitting ceremonies, in
memory Of those veterans of the
Civil war who have died since the
close of the war or during it.
The order states that patriotic
services should be arranged. for the
Friday before Memorial day, which
this year comes on May 10Th. with
the public school authorities, and
that the post patriotic instructor
should make arrangements with
teachers and principals for at least
a short address in every school.
The action of the national en-
campment, at Denver, in regard to
the display Of the flag, will be OBJ
served. 1t has always been custom
airy to haIf-mast it, but this year il
will be half-masted until noon
when it should be run up to full
mast. This is done on all govern
ment buildings, and is observed a
the United States military posts.
The department commander an
nounces the death of two prominen
comrades. One is that of Myron D
Gibbs, who enlisted Aug. Is, 1862
in the Sixth Vermont infantry ant
was mustered out of service in July
1866. Mr.. Gibbs was for the pas
thirteen years commander of Jo
j Hooker Post, No. Is of Tracy, MINI.
and died April 5, 1908, after a Ions
and lingering illness.

Suspension from practicing as an
attorney and councillor at law IN
any of the courts of this state for
six months is the punishment meted
out to Captain Frances B. Hart OF
Minneapolis by the special supreme
court appointed to try the dlsbar-

him by the State Bar Association.
The court justified this mild sentence
by pointing out that Capt. Hart
wrote personal letter to the Chief
Justice impugning both the intelll-

greatly wearied because Jacobson,
Minnesota's next Governor. hasn't

candidate had in him the material

movement to stringhalt Bryan.
Bryan has the nomination in his
grasp. If he lives Bryan will be the
choice of the Denver convention I'M

there will be a revolution. If John

Governor Johnson manages to
find a popular issue to spring, wher-
