President Knutson Urges Activity in

Big Success.
PENNINGTON BACKS MOVE
Delegate Hedeen Discovers Residents
There Desire Bill Passed With
out Further Delay.

In an unexpected and voluutar
communication from II. H. Dunn
speaker of the Minnesota House c
Representatives and an attorney i
the southern town of Albert Lea,
new pledge from a man of power j
obtained in the present effort for
prompt reapportionment.
Speaker Dunn's letter to the Dahl
Pioneer follows:
. Albert Lea, Mimi. Nov. Is, 1911.
Editor Bemidji Daily Pioneer:
l understand that Northern
Minnesota is making an effort to-
secure an extra session of the
legislature for the consideration
OF certain measures including
reapportionment, and I am ad-
vised that your paper has ear
nestly taken hold Of the matter.
I take the liberty to write you
because l have been quoted as no
longer in favor Of reapportion-
ment I desire to correct this.
On the question of reapportion-
ment / stand just where l stood
a year ago when I asked the
House members from Northern
Minnesota to support me for
speaker.
AS a matter Of justice and a
square deal to the northern part
of the state, I believe a reappor-
tionment bill should be passed
that will do justice to all Sec
lions of the state. During the
session last winter carried out
to the letter every pledge I made
in this behalf. And now, when I
cannot be accused of asking or
expecting anything in return, I
beg to assure you that if there
be an extra session I will do my
utmost in behalf of reapportion-
ment and what is more I believe
we can pass a fair reapportion-
ment bill.
At the last session, my COL
league, Mr.. Henion, and myself
both voted for and supported the
Congdon Bill. While this bill
has been somewhat criticized, I
must say that l supposed it was
satisfactory to northern Mime
sofa, and I believe that all men,
bers from your section of the
state voted for it. And I might
add that I have yet to hear the
first word of criticism from the
people I represent regarding my
attitude on reapportionment.
I understand the question of
reapportionment will come up
at the St. Cloud meeting and in
view Of the fact that will not
have the opportunity to express
myself at that time. am thus
writing you. :
Sincerely yours, i
H. H. Dunn.

 Prices made remarkably steady rise and in this the new crops shared more fully than might have been ex' pected considering that the old crops are under manips ation. From Mon day on. the new top months derived sympathetic strength from the old crop The latter touched new high levels for the season, but the former still remained about a dollar bale under the high records, not be- cause of any tagging behind this week, but as result of wider de- clines than in the old crop months in | former weeks.

New York. May 3.-The somewhat reactionary sentiment noted in the cotton market yesterday was favored by lower cables than expected this morning and continued good weather in the south, but reports of better domestic trade in cotton goods and the appearance of old crop bull sup. port on comparatively moderate dips restricted selling and following early irregularity, new high records for the season were made on May and July contracts. The close was steady, net s points higher to points lower, new crop deliveries being relatively easy, owing to good weather and favorable crop accounts. The market opened steady ai decline Of ! point on May, which was influenced by the disappointing cables, but at an ad- vance of points on July, which re- fiected bull support and unchanged to 2 points higher on later positions. The weather map was favorable in the main. While complaints are be- ginning to come in of insufficient moisture. the majority of the reports indicate that the warm. dry weather is beneficial over the greater part of the belt. and with the opening have considerably better than due on the cables, the market turned slightly easier after the call under realizing for over the week and selling for a reaction.
 Old crop positions worked off to about the closing figures of last night and the new crop to a net loss of about 2 to points. but bull sup port of the old crop, the extremely bullish weekend figures and reports that more seasonable weather was stimulating the demand for cotton goods, held sellers in check and in the later trading the market develop ed renewed strength on fresh furry of coering by old crop shorts. who bid May up to 15.7Sc, and July to l5.S S9 or about 12 points net higher.
