STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Some Prices Recover in Small
Volume of Trading.

Evidently Foreign SeHtiiHent NO.
started on the turn toward a decided
Improvement. owing TO the grauudi
clearing away of the political irrita-
ton which has kept Europe in a FER
ment of uncertainty for several
months. How soon confidence Will &c
restored and an easier monetary situa-
ton established is yet indefinite ou'
the outlook seems TO be sufficiently
promising to warrant marked cheer-
fulness at the present time in eXpecta-
ton of a renewed buying movement
sooner or later in the investment mar
ket.
In time American shares Will be
benefited by the changed conditions
abroad, but at the present time the po-
litical skies in this county are over
cast with apprehension and disturbing
elements of an economic character that
hold in check what otherwise might De
tendency toward activity and better
prices of securities.
The opening Of the stock market yes
terdav morning displayed the same
tone Of dulness and paucity of features
that have been presented in initial
trading on each preceding morning for
some time The new order of affairs
resulting from the signed bills at Al
bany affecting the New York Stock
Exchange. the result Of the Stock EI-
change election on Monday together
with other subjects, such as the Cali
fornia alien land bill controversy, the
Hartman Pacific's intricate problem
and the testimony of President Farrell
in the defence of the Steel Tru't
against the suit brought by the gov
eminent for dissolution Of the United
States Steel Corporation. were subjects
of interest and general discussion
around the Street. Declines were
shown in the opening prices Of Anal
gamated Copper. Central Railroad OF
New Jersey, Canadian Pacific and VIZ
Pacific, Pennsylvania and New York
Central opened unchanged and United
States Steel showed gain in its first
quotation over Mondays closing prices.
The early trading gave evidences Of
weakness. A new low record was
made by Pennsylvania. and Bethlehem
Steel was a feature of the declining
tendency among the specialties. In
the afternoon an improvement was
shown and recoveries from the low
prices Of Monday were made in a mum
Der of issues. There was no activity,
and while the volume of business was
slightly heavier than on Monday, il
did not reach a total sufficiently large
to be impressive. The list was spotted
at the close and carried the signs Of
professional movements, leaving the
trend as uncertain as on recent former
days.
The news of the day in the main was
confused by the disposition Of Prcsi-
dent Wilson to keep his hands off the
tariff issue. and the prospect Of labor
organizations and farmers being ex-
empt from the requirements Of the
Sherman act.
There was no change Of Importance
in the local money situation. The de-
mand for funds was reported to be
increasing. and an easier tone in short
time loans was exhibited. Call money
was renewed at pa per cent.

SECOND
choice
Legislature Passed hoge's
Bill Which Sets Aside Part
Of Primary Law
Feature Was Only Effective
Last Year in Third Con.
QfeSSional District

Did you know that the so-called
Second choice law was repealed by
the last session of the legislature?
Well, its fact
A bill was introduced by Represent.
lative Hoge of Underwood. n 4 R Il.
The bill was proposed for the pur.
pose of correcting the law passed in
1911 in which the elname of county
judge was left off the ballot.
1t was supposed this would be about
all thechange to the old law there
would be. >
Except for little clause requiring
that persons candidates for nomina-
tion must receive 25 per cent of the
average total number of votes cast
by their party for g overnor, secretary
of state and attorney general.
Eut, way down at the end of the
bill in regular sized type, the follow
ing death blow to the second choice
Jaw was administered: -. 81
Section s. Repeal. !, That Chapter
212 of the laws passed by the 18th
~osoioldI'Nc ]AoCAlOAy NC anu lAc odlhc
are hereby repealed"
And the law was dead; just like
that.
Who did it? Why? When and how?
will be the questions now.
1t appears that it was not generally
known over the state that the 1911
law had been killed. 1t will be q
mighty surprise for some to read it.
Many will not be able to believe it.
But it is so.
House Bill 200 by Hoge says so.
Senate bill 212Icreating the second
choice scheme was introduced by Sen.
otor Steele of Renville.
In the 1913 bill there is no mention
made of second choice for any office.
There are those who will be pleas.
ed that the law was repealed and then
again there are others.
There was only one man in the state
who profited by the law at the last
election and that was former Secre-
tary of State Norton who was elected
to congress from the third district by
virtue Of the second choice votes he
received.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Direc
election of United States senators b,
the people was authorized ana made
compulsory today, when the Connecti
cut legislature ratified and passed the
constitutional amendment submitted
by congress less than a year ago
Ratification had already been given by
35 states. The new amendment gives
to state legislatures, however, the
right to prescribe methods for elect
ing senators. Man legslatouses
have adjourned san.' will not recon
Tene until early in 1915 few weeks
before terms of over 80 senator's will
expire. 1t is expected that in many
states legislatures .Rill adopt the plar
authorized in the new amendment
and direct governors 10 appoint sen.
ators temporarily until the people can
elect men at regularly called elec.
tions.
The new amendment to the Consti.
tuition 70 rthe popular election OF
United States senators, is the seven
teenth to be adopted. 1t reads:
"The Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, elected by the people
thereof, for six years; and each senat-
or shall have one vote. The electors
in each state shall have the qualifica.
tions requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch OF the state leglsla.

when vacancies happen in the
representation Of any state in, the SEN

state shall Issue writs of election to
fill such vacancies, prodived that the
legislature of any state may empower
the executive thereof to make tenn
porary appointments until the people
fill the vacancies by election as the
legislature may direct"
The amendment primarily transfers
the power of electing senators from
the state legislatures to the people at
the polls. To effect this change it was
necessary to alter the machinery for
the filing OF vacancies the senate.
For more than sixty years proposals
have been made to change the Consti.

election of senators. 1t wa. not, how.

Herbert Lewis, former practicine

Of the Starkweather Times, arrived
here today after figuring in one of the
most sensational dynamiting schemes
that has ever occurred in Canada
The frfghtful affair occurred in the

secretary and treasurer
Both men insured for $4,000 on

All Trains Were AbletO Cross
Missouri River During
Last Night
Took 300 Men But Is Hours
TO Rebuild Over. a Mile
Of Track
IS Carloads Of Gravel We're
Hauled Over so Miles
for Repair Work


The condition Of the Missouri river
is fast returning to normal, trains
are running again and the country
breathes easier. For over so hours
all traffic was held up at Bismarck
and Mandan on the Northern Pacific
by reason Of the washOut between the
bridge and the latter place. But
Superintendent Strachan is to be con-
graduated on the fast work which he
did in getting matters pulled around
into shape and traffic moving again
On Sunday afternoon when the water
went over the grade and 1t was evl-
dent that there was to be a washout,
Mr.. Strachan got busy preparing for
the trouble which was to come.
49, Some Fast vvork,.
The washout took 5,40O feet Of
track and parts OF the grade, all OF
which would have to be reconstruct
ed before u train could pass. BY
Monday night there were in the yards
at this place, ready for business, 800
men, 35 cars of gravel, two miles OF
ties and steel rails. 1t was necessary
to load the sand 81 miles east of this
city, at Ladoga pit. At 4 o'clock
Tuesday morning the men and the
material were on the scene of the
washout. The track had been wash
ed off the grade, and before any work
towards repairs could be done it was
necessary to remove hundreds Of tons
CT ice which had, washed up on the
dump and been left there by the wa
ter @ &9 "A
Ready In Fifteen Hours.
In just fifteen hours after the men
arrived upon the ground and began
work, the track was in shape for
trains and the work trains pulled out
in the clear to permit through traffic.
This work required the building OIL
the embankment in places, laying ties
and steel, ballasting and lining up.
This is remarkable piece OF hustling
but it was done and trains were soon
running on schedule time. Ir.=
Train No. s, which was due here
at 2:aJ p. M, was held in Mandan
for the repairs and was the first train /,
to pass. No. 7, which was due from
the east at the same time, was held
at Bismarck. AS soon as No. S ar
rived, which was at TAT, train No
Z proceeded on it's way westward
over the repaired track. Coast train
No. 2 was held at Mandan until train
No. arriver, as there was no engine
to bring it this way. 1t arrived about
two hours late, that is, at 9:23. No.
arrived almost on time and pro-
ceeded on its way without interrup-
ton. 4!
lnasmuch as trains are running al
most on schedule, it can be said that
conditions are normal again, and
there will undoubtedly be no more
trouble at this point.
