NO TIME TO SPARE,

In 4S more working days the
Northern Minnesota Development as
ISOLATION will convene at St. Cloud.
This leaves none too much time in
which to, organize the forces of the
North to make that convention by
all odds the most memorable in the
brief but already brilliant history of
the organization.
None too much time in which to
fill the elegates who are to jam the
St. Cloud convention hall with en-
thusiasm =. in their demand for a
square deal.
None too much time in which to
impress Governor Eberhart with the
deadly earnestness of the North in
LIS ueudnu lOi au extra SESSION. 10
pass a reapportionment bill.
No one questions what would hap
pen if the St. Cloud convention pass
es a resolution calling upon Governor
Eberhart to redeem his Rrainerd
pledge.
The governor never has said that
he would not call an extra session
for this purpose. and even if he had,
unless he wanted to commit political
suicide, he could not defy the wishes
of the people of 81 of the most popu-
lous counties of the state.
You see that puts it squarely up to
Northern Minnesota to say whether
she proposes to permit the south to
continue with representatives to A.
900 persons while the Northern dis
tricts with populations of $4,000 or
$4,000 have but one man to look af-
ter their interests.
No one, for months and months
and months, has dared to say that
there shouldn't be a reapportion-
ment "a.
1t is up to you, people of the North,
to say whether that rank injustice
shall be righted now-or whether we
shall wait until 1917 and then go
through the same fight we are going
through and again run the risk of
permitting a few senators who are
glued to office to permit the will of
majority Of the people to go to

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Erlnan IN Hnn "a Of I'd

Frtcea on board OF TRADE.
CHICAGO Sept 22-Despite sales of
millions OF bushels by holders realizing
profits the wheat market whirled upward
today again and again. The defeat Of
reciprocity formed the sole reason. After
an exciting day there was a nervous
close 27sa3o to SIC higher than last night
and within NC Of top figures reached.
Oats, which would also have been sub
ject to free competition from Canada
made a net advance Of 17sc to 2d2lsc.
Corn rose %dic and provisions z,sa2Oc.
Huge stocks Of wheat held in Chicago
afforded an explanation Of why the bulge
in prices turned out to be less sensa-
tional here than elsewhere. Nevertheless
unusual activity and strength were
shown from the outset. Some sales eN-
hibted a gain OF more than &c in the
first thirty seconds of trading. Profit
taking was equally prominent and for
hours IL seemed as though the extraordl7
nary force of unloading would prevent
anything like the advance which had been
predicted that might be looked for fol-
lowing the victory Of the opposition 70
reciprocity. A directly contrary result
of the election had been expected by
traders in general and had been dis
counted in full beforehand. The news
from Canada therefore had all the force
of genuine surprise and was being felt
more rather than less severely as the
session drew to an end. During the last
hour, indeed, stop-loss buying reached
an acute stage and brought about the
sharpest advance Of the day. some reac.
ton took place, but the tone in the end
was decidedly unsettled. Between the
initial and the final Transaction Deem:
Der ranged from e65tc to 9e1sc and closed
2Jkd3c up at $3.50.
Oats closed firm at nearly the highest
figures touched after the bulge began
One of the features Of the session was
frantic covering by shorts here who had
bought at winnipeg and who were whip
sawed completely. Top and bottom fig
ures touched by the December option
were 47Ac and 46isc. with last sales &c
net higher at 47hc.
Corn was not directly involved IN the
reciprocity issue What strength devel-
oped was of a purely sympathetic sort.
As an offset the weather was better and
country selling quite liberal December
firm ha%c net higher at 64Ssc. Cash
grades were in good demand. No. z
yellow finished at 6sl9@69c.
Provisions were firm. Pork closed "a
d10c up, lard dearer 219q121sc and ribs at
an advance OF $1,000.
