Governor Hanna found a busy day
waiting for him when he reached his
office after having returned from an
extensive trip east, having attended
the veterans national guard at Gettys-
burg, from which he reached North
Dakota just in time to review the
North Dakota regiment of national
guards Il" camp at Devils Lake last
Saturday.
The governor spoke in the highest
terms of the showing the regiment
made OH governors day. He enjoys
a personal acquaintance with nearly
every mar Of the North Dakota
guards and he was given a hearty
reception when he reached camp.
When he left Devils Lake he went
to Grand Forks, where he made an
address at the opening of the state
fair which is being held there this
week and reached his office at Bis
marck yesterday.
One Of the first questions pro-
pounded to the governor upon his re.
turn here was pertaining to calling
an extra session Of the legislature
this coming winter as to amending the
state law relative to the election OF
an United States senator. Y
The federal constitution has been
recently amended which permits a
direct election by the people of a
senator to succeed Senator Gronna,
whose term expires 1915, but the last
legislature failed to amend the state
law which provides that the secre-
tary OF state may place upon the
November ballots the two candidates
receiving 40 per cent Of the votes,
and that those candidates shall be
left for the legislature to choose, but
as there is no longer any opportunity
for the legislature to have a say in
selecting a senator it becomes practi-
cally necessary that the legislature
meet in extra session before the d.
preaching primaries to remedy this
state law. y ,
The governor has stated that he
is strongly convinced that he will
call an extra session this coming win
ter. probably some time during Feb
uyary or March, but that before this
is done he will take up the matter
with each member of the legislature
and will also consult with the attor-
ney general. The calling of the leg
islature on this subject is purely dis.
cretionary WITH the governor, who
realizes that this law must be rene
died before the next election, but he
is anxious that it should be done
with S little cost as possible to the
people of the state and at a time
when it is most convenient to the
members$of the Legislature.
Among the first letters opened by
the governor yesterday was an invi-
tation from George B. Va%llanding-
ham Of Valley City, commander OF
the G. A. R. Of the state, asking the
governor to attend the national en-
campment of the G. A. r., which will
be held in September. In view of the
extremely friendly feeling engendered
while the governor attended the re-
union at Gettysburg this ~~4.summer.
the war veterans are extremely anx.
iOus that the governor attend the en-.
canpment, and if it, is possible, the
governor proposes to attend. 7
The governor also conferred yester.|
day with R. S. Lewis, chairman of the
state board of control, and the two
went over the plan Of the new build
ing at the state asylum for the in
san at jamestown. These buildings
will sOOn be in course, of construction
and will give North Dakota one of the
most extensive Inscriptions Of it's
kind in the country, and will provide
q home for this class Of u~nfortunates
that will be u%nequaled. The board
of control has spent considerable time
this summer in r%emodeling this inst1.
tuition and changing the system oil
management.
Warden Talcott of the state prison
also met with the governor, relative
to the manufacture Of twine that is
being carried on extensively there
this summer. This institution, too.
was never, on a better business basis,
and it is believed that every pound
of Irvine contracted for will be man.
,%lfactured and delivered to the farm
ers Of the state in plenty of time for
the approaching harvest.
The governor leaves Bismarck this
morning for Minot, where he will
take part in the exercises of the lay
ing Of the corner stone Of the Minot
Normal school, which will occur on
Friday, and from there he will go to
Hamilton to spend a day at the OPEN
ig of the Pembina county fair. He
will also go to Fort Rice for the dedi-
cation of that historic outpost Of!
over 40 years ago, and will be back to
Bismarck in plenty of time for the
meeting OF the state board of equal
ization, which convenes August 9TH
