signed to rule the saloon keeper out OF
politics. Governor Hadley has not been
asked TO approve It. Another bill, fol-
lowing the suggestion Of the governor,
is intended to entirely separate the saloon
from the ownership or control by brewers,
distillers or wholesalers.
The proposition to submit TO vote the
question, "shall a constitutional conven-
ton be heidi" has received more con-
sideration this week than any other
proposition. Governor Hadley has pro-
nOunced in favor of IL. Some want the
vote deferred till the regular election in
1910, hut the leaders want the election
held in the summer Of this year so the
delegates may he elected next fall and
the convention may assemble next
winter. Then the new constitution can
be submitted to vote before the regular
state election, or at that election. 1t is
desirable to separate the constitutional
propositions from party campaigns. II
is likely that decisive action may he
taken on this matter next week.

there has been a break between State
