May Oppose Stevenson.

A rumor has it that Ole Sageng,5
lone Populist in the state Senate, is
to run for congress from the Ninth
district and oppose Halvor Steiner
son for the election. Sageng claims
that he is receiving encouragement
from many quarters and that he will
be able to put up good fight. Re-
Gently Sageng is said to have made a
vigorous attack on STEVENSON in con-
nection with the alleged White Earth
frauds. Sageng could probably make

Smith in Bad.

Ed Smith, head of the Republican
machine in Minnesota, is no longer
in the good graces of the Taft man
ayers because of his failure to deliv-
er Minnesota to the president. A
month or two ago, Smith was quite
confident that he could turn the trick.
He overlooked one thing, however,
that the Minnesota people are pro-
gressive and that even a state ma.

senator added, that the Democratic
majority in the senate is so narrow
and that there are such differences Of
opinion as are likely to prevent the
passage Of promised legislation. But
am sure that these suggestions are
without any foundation. In fact I
have not the slightest doubt about
such harmony and cooperation among
Democrats Of the senate as will Sc.
cure the passage through that body

BRYAN RECOMMENDS REFORM

Urges That Congress Be Convened
Shortly After March 4th

Washington, Nov. IA plan to adj
init former presidents, former vice
presidents and former speakers of the
house of representatives to the floors
of the two houses of congress, with the
privilege of debate but not of voting
upon pending measures, was preached
here by William J. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's statement was coupled
with a declaration that he favored a
change in the time of converting con-
gress, so that the new sessions would
begin shortly after new members took
office, March 4. He declined to dis
cuss the outlook for an extra session,
saying 'the president-elect is consid-
ering the subject of a special session
and l do not care to advise him
through the newspapers"
The question is often asked, what
shall we do with our ex-pre7idents? I"
Mr.. Bryan said. Nov that we soon
will have two ex-presidents and two
ex-vice presidents, it might be worth
while to consider what means could be
employed to utilize their experience

to me that the nation might avail it.

time afford them dignified means of
keeping in communication with the
public.
1T has occurred to me that both
these ends could be attained by law
giving an ex-president the privileges Of
the floor in both the senate and house
with permission to take part in de-
bate, without, of course, the privilege
of voting or serving on committees.
The retiring vice-president should be
given these privileges Of the floor of

and l see no reason why they should
not be accorded to an ex-speaker of the
house if he retires from congress-"
