Legislation Which will Receive
the Consideration Of the

The 1911 session of the North

of the most interesting held in
many years. Many important
QUESTION: are coming up.
Among these may be mention
ed the reapportionment of leg.
islative representation; the pro.
position to repeal the wolf
bounty bill; the election of U.
S.. senator: possible amend.
nents to the primary law; tax
aud railroad legislation legisla-
tion dealing with the question
of conservation; and it is alto
gether likely that the Fargo
people will raise the question
Of the location of the state fair
at that place. In addition to
these there will be a heavy
grist Of bills touching the usual
subjects aud possibly a few
genuine. surprises.
With such prospect, this
year Legislature will he one of
the most closely watched as
semblies our history. In order
to satisfy the public with quick,
reliable news from the center
of things, the Grand Forks
Daily Herald has arranged to
keep a representative in Bis.

Latter's Capacity for Hard Work and
His intimate Acquaintance With
Tariff Question Appealed
to the President.

A few weeks after the first election
bf William Mckinley as president OF
the United States, met the late Dan
lei S. Lamont, then secretary of war
in President CleVeland's cabinet, and,
during Cleveland's first term, his pri-
vate secretary.
Il find myself wondering these
days." said Colonel Lamont, when the
subject of the presidential cleo
ton cropped up, "how the election
would have resulted had politics in
the Democratic party turned out as
the governor Lamont al
ways spoke of Cleveland as the gov
ernor-"e earnestly hoped they would.
Maybe you have heard the story
to the effect that when Buffalo
friend asked the governor few weeks
before his first Inauguration as presi-
dent how he stood upon the tariff,
he replied: don't know a damn
thing about it. 1 believe the story Is
a true one; at any rate, I know that
when the governor went to Washing
ten IN March Of 1885 he knew very
little about the tariff. He had
vague sort a2 idea that the Democratic
party was committed to the policy OF
a tariff for revenuO ePsly, but he con-
fessed TO me that he really did not
know thoroughly what tariff for
revenue only meant.
Within few mo.4ths after he went
into the White House, the governor
became we'll acquainted with John G..
Carlisle, tten speaker of the house
of Representatives. He became great
~ impressed vAth Mr. Carlisle, and
especially With Carlisle's capacity for
industry. TAe governor himself was
a hard worlSer, and If there was any
thing that really appealed to him it
was the capacity for hard work In
others-pattent, plodding work. So,
when the governor discovered that
Carlisle Ras a man of that sort it
was not hard for him to conceive a
liking fQf the speaker.
Then there came the day, in the
second year of Che governors term,
when he first read Carlisle's great
speech upon the tariff, delivered in
the house of representatives in 1882
the speech that made him speaker
the following year, and in which he
