By attaching the emergency clause
to the initiative and referendum bill.
the Senate made 1t possible to submit
the constitutional amendment to the
people at the approaching election, 30
that two years hence the people can
initiate and refer the measures they
demand. Included in the bill is a pro-
vision which will give all cities and
towns the right to the initiative and
referendum In their local affairs, as
soon as the people adopt the amend
ment at the polls. The bill. therefore.
establishes the peoples rule not only
in statewide affairs but in the affairs
Of the political units within the state.
When Gov. Shafroth heard the news
he Immediately sat down and penned
letter to William Jennings Bryan,
telling all about the famous fight and
victory. The governor felt that the
passage OF the bill was an all-sufficient
vindication of the extra session. This
victory alone pays ten times over the
cost Of the extra session thus far" he

A Thousand Canadian Farmers As
semble at the Capital.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. ia thousand
prosperous Canadian farmers assem-
bled in the Grand opera house at Ot-
tawa today to formulate demands on
the Dominion government. They came
from all parts of Canada, every prov
ince being represented, with the ex-
ception Of Prince Edward island. the
smallest, and British Columbia, the
largest. This, this first meeting of the
Canadian council of agriculture, is re-
garded as of the greatest Importance
to the Dominion. 1t is an effort of
the agriculturists to impress their
needs on the law makers.
The initial demand is for abolition
of customs duties on agricultural i'm
plements and for better commercial
relations with the United States. The
convention is expected to have some
effect on the reciprocity negotiations
to be resumed in Washington next
month.
The delegates from the east and the
west of Canada had feared there might
be some conflict of views as to the de-
mands to be made on the governmen ent

disclosed that both wanted primarily

British Parliamentary Election L
Nearing the Close.


London, Dec. 15.-Only sixty-four
seats in the new parliament remain to
be filled and the coalition parties al
ready have a majority of 90, although
the Unionists as party still have the
largest membership with a total of
257 members elected to date
The supporters of the government
are made UP as follows:
Liberals, 236; Irish -Nationalists, Ga:
Independ ndent-Nationalists, 8: Labor
members, 40, an aggregate of 349. The
Laborites thus far have secured the
same number of seats they held in the
last parliament. Two Liberal gains
and one Unionist in the returns made
known today give the Liberals a net
gain of a single seat in the sos con-
Stituencies now polled.
The Dartford division of Kent re-
turned to their faith of Liberalism
while the unionists turned out the
the Tavistock division of Devonshire,
electing J. w. Spear. There was much
interest in the fight between the sons
of two former premiers for the seat
for the Wisebeeh division of Cam
bridge, but Neil Primrose, the sitting
liberal member, easily STAYED off the
attack of Lord Robert Cecil. the
Unionist candidate, and increased his
former majority of 200 to 544.
The final pollings in England will
be held on Saturday. A few Irish and
Scotch constituencies will vote on
Monday and these returns will COM
