ALEX N KNIGHT. FOR j: !.
!. THE s {
State Legislature Must Be Taken
Out Of the Hands of Special
Privilege.

A. G. Mcknight, candidate for the
State Senate from the Fifty-seventh
legislative district addressed a meet
ing of the Mems league of the First
Methodist church: last Monday. eve
ming. He did not make any refer
ence to his own candidacy but made
strong plea for the people to inter-
est themselves in the methods which
are used by our Minnesota legislative
bodies In the conduct of their bust
ness. He said he2believed that a re-
formation of legislative procedure
would have a wholesome effect in
producing good legislation and de-
feating bad legislation, as any other
single thing that could be done.
He referred to the closing day of
the session of 1911, when 100 good
bills were, on the calendar in the last
hours Of the session and not one was
allowed to pass because the breweries
were intent upon defeating the bill
which gave local option to fourth
class cities. Among these, he said,
I were several bills much desired BY
the labor men Of the state.
His remedy for this condition was
an early vote on all temperance ques-
tions and a permanent joint confer
:ence committee of the two houses
which would arrange for the CON
current consideration by the two
houses Of the real big questions be-
fore the people. Mr.. Mcknight said he
believed that by focusing the atten-
ton Of the people to the deliberations
on particular question, would have
wholesome. effect on the votes that
would be cast by the legislators.
Mr.. Mcknight has not been maxi
ing an active campaign for the nom
ination in his district, but his friends
have been working for him and there
] is no question that he will be one az
the nominees at the primaries next
!: Tuesday. n. i ,g5
Mr.. Mcknight has the backing Of
the progressive leaders of all parties
in his district, while his chief OPP
ponent, Mr.. Adams, was put up and
is being supported BY all Of the spe-
cial interests that are opposed to real
progressive legislation. s., II

HICKEN ORDERS
SOCIALISTS TO MOVE

Socialist orators, having held their
street meetings at Second avenue West
and. Superior street for several years,
have been ordered to move to another
corner.
The reason of the, order seems to
have been based on a complaint from
the proprietors of the Rex theater,
who claim that the Socialist meetings
interferes with their crowds.
Efforts are being made to have these
meetings held on one of the other
downtown corners. -

Mystery surrounds the movements
of the third leaguers, and while the
magnates have broken into the lime

to announce the signing up Of major
leaguers surprises galore are in the
making. Within a week. according
to Fed officials, President Gilmore
will step to bat with a statement that
will knock the wind out of organized

ported by Seaton to have negotiated

Federal League Raiders to Sink
The Phillies, Says Tom Seaton;
Wholesale Jumping is Expected

$500 plus an additional allowance,
also advanced the information that
AZ players prominent in the National
and American leagues would be miss
ing from roll call when the spring
training season gets under way. He
is in possession of the names Of sew
eral of the prospective leapers, but is
maintaining a discreet silence.
First Raid Disastrous.
Terrific inroads were made on the
Phillies last winter when the Feds
squared away with their offers Of
tempting contracts. Mike Doolan,
"Runt" Walsh. Addie Brennan, Sea-
ton, F. Otto Knabe. Duke" Duncan
and Russell all said farewell to Red"
Doom, most Of them casting their lot
with the third leaguers because of
management as Doolan put it. Bill
Killifer also jumped, but he set a
record hopping back to the Philliee.
Close students Of the game assert
that the Quakers would have been up
there fighting for the National league
flag this season had the disappearing
stars remained in the fold. With two
factions fighting. the Phillies clawed
their way to second place last sea-
son. Battling, sans their stars this
year the team landed in sixth place.
Philadelphia isn't the only city to
feel the mailed fist Of the Federal
invaders, according to a tip emanat-
ing from the lea ue headquarters
here. Queries for President James
A. Gilmore and Charles H. weegh-
man, boss of the Chifeds. disclosed
the fact that both had slipped silently
out Of town Of a mission Of deep
secrecy.
