HOUSE LEADERSHIP
SOMEWHAT MUDDLED

Bismarck N D., Feb 16.-There
seems to be a spirit of unrest in the
house. One member yesterday COM
mented on the noticeable lack Of or
ganization The leaders who took pos.
session of the floor at the opening of
the session and who engineered legis-
lation through, now seem relegated to
the back ground and are powerless.
New leaders have arisen and there
is apparently new order of things
coming in the next two weeks. Fol-
lowing the speakership caucus, now
almost two months ago, there seemed
to be no one who could carry bills
through but the near speakers. But
they are losing out one by one and
even they have split among themselves.
Representatives Sorlie and Frame
appear to be the only two standbys of
the old guard, and they are on their
feet every time, seemingly opposing
any measure anybody else but them
selves happens to be for. There was
a time when Mr.. Price, Mr. Homnes
and Mr.. Streeter were counted in
among this set of legislators, but they
have all three departed from the fold
and seem to have gone their various
| ways. Mr.. Price is now floor leader
by himself with his own individual fol-
| lowing and so are the other two.
| But in the last fortnight new kings
have arisen over this Egypt which
knows not Joseph and Mr.. Akesson
of Cass county now and then shows
his head above the sea level and stops
a sailing craft whose cargo he feels
may be q trifie too heavy. On the
other side of the house another new
leader has plunged into the legislative
activities and seems to be having great
success in passing all his bills over the
heads of Colonel Frame and Mr.. Sor-
lie. This is Mr. Nestos
! Yesterday, on the floor of the house,
Mr.. Davidson of Burke county made an
appeal for house organization. which
he felt was the means by which the
party pledges could be carried out
MIR. Frame replied to him that he felt

QUOTED
IN The SENATE

Bismarck, N. D., Feb 16.-The Far
go Forum Is the only state paper
mentioned so far on either floor of the
North Dakota legislature this ses-
sion. Yesterday in the senate cham
Der reference was made to it in two
speeches, one by Senator Mcdowell and
one by Senator diversion.
The latter in discussing the Hook
way mechanics lien bill, read an ex-
tract from The Forum pertaining to
some advices from Washington in re-
gard to the so-called lumber trust.
Senator diversion quoted The Forum
at length and took occasion to COM
ment on the intelligence conveyed in
the article and its bearing on the ques-
tion then at hand.
Senator McDowell's reference to The
Forum concerned the communication
Of Mrs deLendrecie in which those
voting negatively on the woman suf-
frage bill, recently before the senate,
in which he said he had been branded

of Mrs. .deLendrecie as the "contribut-

as the Fargo newspaper

Their Cause and Effect.

Rundown conditions are caused by
a lack of iron in the blood and mall

of the unfortunates who have drifted
into this state. change your diet, eat
foods that are rich in mineral ele-
ments Of nutrition, and take Vinoi, our

ed form.
A case is reported from Nation,
nl.--Mrs. o. M. Watrous was in very
poor health for years. She was weak,
all rundown, no appetite, and only
weighed ninety seven pounds. She
had doctored for long time without
benefit. Vinol was recommended She
tried 1t, and in less than year she
was in perfect health and weighed 127
lbs.
Vinol creates an appetite, reestab

weakness with strength.

IMPORTANT BILLS
in The HOUSE

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 16.--Among
the bills acted on yesterday was the
Sgutt measure abolishing capital pun
ishment, which was indefinitely post
poned. Argument against the bill was
based largely on the plea that there
was no certainty that a man, convict
ed of murder would serve out the
term of years he might be sentenced
to.
Further amendment was added to
Hoge's bill amending the primary law
relating to the percentage plan of.
votes required to nominate candidates.
AS amended it provides that 80 per
cent of the vote of a party must be
polled to nominate, 1t not being neces-
sary for each candidate to have that
percentage of the vote. 1t is con-.
tended this brings the amendment
within the scope of the decision of the
supreme court, in which the percent
age clause was declared unconstitu-
tional

tended to single women paying taxes
Favorable action on the senate reso-
luton endorsing federal inspection of
grain was taken. Another fight of the
day was over the Welo good roads
BILL providing for the creation of
county road department, the appoint
ment of county road superintendent
by the county commissioners, and the
naming of district overseers. Much
credit is due to Representative Haw-
kinson of Towner county for saving
the measure, which otherwise might
have been lost. The Hawkinson
amendment provided that the adoption
of the plan might be made optional
with the counties.

and that in killing the bill which was
then before the house for discussion,
nothing In the attitude of the lower
chamber could be construed as dis
courtesy. Mr.. Doyle Of Foster county
rather upheld Mr.. Davidson, though the
latter is democrat Mr.. Doyle said
the house seemed to be taking the
very course to kill all it's features in
the senate.
It is said that a new alignment is
quietly being aroused for the purpose
Of getting through the necessary leg
islation which will save the party in
the eyes Of the people this year. In
this new list 1t is understood will be
Nestos, Price, Anderson of Ramsey,
Speaker Hanley, DISCARD Of Nelson,
and one or two other floor leaders who
are active and influential. Just what
sort of an organization may be effected
is not yet known
But that there is general dissatis-
faction among the members Of both
houses over the poor showing male
this year is apparent by the express
sions heard on all sides SO much that
was to have been accomplished re-
mains yet undone. The senate has re-
ceived a reprimand from Lieutenant
Governor Burdick, and it is controlled
by the insurgents, who also have con-
troll of what organization there origin
ally was in the house, which now seems
to be body without any leader The
democrats alone have a leader this
year in the lower chamber, and Mr..
Doyle of Foster. after all has retained
his leadership throughout the session
and has made some very excellent po-
litical moves

FISH and GAME
AMENDMENTS

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 16.-Talcott's
game and fish bill which proposes an
amendment to the present law ana
checks the expenditures of that de-
partment of the public service, is one
of the measures that will next come
under the scrutiny of the lobbyists. A
number were here last night to con-
slider the amendatory provisions Of the
bill, which the game and fish people
claim are a little drastic.
While it is conceded by the friends
of the measure that this is so, it is
yet thought that the author of the bill
was correct in taking his stand so that
If the bars are let down in the COM
mittee to which it was referred 1t
would still put check on the wardens.
A strong effort will be made to pre-
vent the passage of the bill, but 1t is
generally conceded that it is too popu-
lar a movement to meet with defeat
either in the house or senate. Sem
ator Talcott, whose every act has dis
played only the greatest wisdom and
best Judgment throughout the whole
session, has been widely compliment
ed by various papers in the state for
the stand he has taken in this regard
and for the excellent provisions in
serted in his bill.
The fish and game board of con-
troll under the administration of Gov
ernor Burke is claimed to have gone
far beyond the limit in its expendi-
lures and the printed statements of
some of the wardens and deputies
prove, in the opinion of some, that
money was virtually scattered to the
four winds. The Talcott bill so amend
ed the present law as to make repeti-
ton of this recklessness impossible and
has received the commentator of the
whole public.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-02-16

was largely instrumental in reviving 1t
and making it possible for the measure
to become an issue this year. To all
appearances Senator Steele was not
pleased with the outcome nor with the
attitude taken by Mrs. deLendrecie of
Fargo since it's defeat
IF Mrs. deLendrecie knows it." said
the senator, 1T was largely her speech
that killed the bill in the senate.
Quietly l was laboring among the SEN
ators who had promised me their sup
port, men who are not enthusiastic
over the question at all l know of
three of such votes which ware after
ward changed, so 1 was directly in
formed, after Mrs. deLendecie's ad-
dress to the senate.
Mrs. deLendrecie was brought to
Bismarck by the opposition, and neither
the women lobbyists, the advocates of
the bill on the floor nor l knew that
she was to speak until only a few mo-
ments before she was introduced by
Senator Simpson. She may be sincere,
but her sincerity that time most Ger
tainly led her into a trap which closed
not only on herself, but the whole
measure so far as this year is con-
cerned.
Il candidly believe" continued SEN
ator Steele, that the woman suffrage
bill would have passed the senate at
least this year, had it not been for Mrs.
deLendrecie's address. Personally /
was not enthusiastic over giving
women the ballot, but did work hard
for the passage of the bill, since l was
asked to introduce it. And / heartily
disapprove of her branding the senators
who did not vote for the bill as cow
ards. They are all gentlemen and
do not know of anyone who has en-
dorsed her letter which appeared in

the kindliest feeling toward The Fo-
rum, but had taken exception to the
letter of Mrs. 'deLendrecie printed
therein, which, he said, has classed him

In favor of the woman suffrage bill
In his speech on the floor of the SEN
ate yesterday, Senator Mcdowell paid
a high tribute to womankind in one
OF his beautiful speeches for which he
is now so noted. 1t is the general
concensus of opinion that no new SEN
ator in the upper house this year. has
made such favorable impression as
the senator from LaMoure and who
has won the esteem of his fellow mem
bers in the manner Senator Mcdowell
has.
Both of the references to The Fo-
rum yesterday by Senator diversion
and Senator Mcdowell were taken in
a complimentary way.
