 But it is said, ard this is the meal in the cocoanut, that Governor Hunt really is sincere in his desire for an election this fall The sophisticated ones have been inclined 10 scout that idea and there has been and. sad toI relate, there still i5. a tclief that tn" governor had his fingers crossed when he recommended legislation providing for the 1912 election Butt the friends of the gov, rnor say he has been actuatcd hy the highest and most unsclfish motives and that the most altruistic brand of patriotism was yelling up iu the gUbcrnatorial bosom when the 'aessn,ee demanding the passage of an election law was written But whatever the facts re- garding this matter the message was written; and now the legislature is getting ready in it's oWu way to carry out that recommendation
 With the passage of t:Iis bill it i3 said the governor will issue an elec- tion proclamation. ThiH it will he up to anybody. WEo bel eyes the con fA''h'ibit l' 'lsN'iIiiSO AAltlt I'i VN bbl' VI take the matter into court where q judicial opinion settling the matter would be rendered It is not believed. however, that in the event of such action by Mir. Hunt tLat proceeding would be taken.
 Of course, most Of the democrats do not feel kindly dignosed toward the proposition to rrovid2 for an clec- tion this fall; out t is well known fact that everybody supposed. prior to the election last Wrr:cr. that the first set of officais would hold office 1 only for the short tern. But since | taking office pre-elcction promises seem to have faded from the minds of a good many Of the office holde~ $ 1 and now they are saying they never, never supposed anybody lad thought l of such thing as an election in 1912. l On the other hand 1herc is a large number who asserted in +hc beginning and who have consistently assert d on numerous occasions since that l there was a s'raisht out understand i ing that an election "o.'d be held a. | that time and hat if anybody tried ;o i get away from it there would be all sorts of trouble
 So, it will be seen that this scheme which is now on the taps is an effort | to get from under The governor and those who stand Cor the senate bill will at least be .n position to point to their record. f the bill goes l through or not. hnd thIs without regard to the question Cf sincerity
 which the wicked republicans and even some of the demacrats have raised. Aside from tFe election law there
 is also considerable iEtc-ost in the primary law which is to pc one of the 1 fruits of this E2ea>I"r. Che Of the | provisions of this iaw. ds generally understood, will relate to the election 1 of national cOmmitteem@s by both parties. Not much talk has been
 heard with re2ard to thc republican candidate or candidates whose names will go on the first primary ballot: but naturally Reese Ling will be
 nominated by the democrats Whcth- i CT he will be opposed or uIopposod remains for the future to Gisclose.
 The question of adjCurnw5nt of tho legislature is considerably mp in tho air The prediction recently made by | q InClnDeG bl 'It IcSINIdiliIt anu BNl'- Hshed in The Republican to the ef-
 feet that the two houses ..oUld com plete their worl, about the middle oi the month is probably as good guess as any. A proposition Was made 1T
 the senate the other day to adjourn next Thursday but it i;i rot com.
 formally before the legislature.
 It may be said. also, tHat if tS a little difficult to see how an adjourn
 ment could b, taken at that time
 The senate mig't gc, ready for it but
 it is difficult to SC, how the house
 could do so. Only small number oi
 bills have been passed finally by tho lower branch and il is not likely i
 will be willing to quit With it's Worl
 so far from completion. About two
 dozen bills have hcon passed by th'
 senate thus far.
 The house. however, has ordered it.
 bills out of co1mit-na and these com
 mittees will make their reports today It is likely that the wheels in tha body will turn little faster from thi
 time forward
