AMENDMENT NO. 1.

That the great majority Of voters Minnesota are in
favor of the initiative and referendum amendment that
is to be voted this fall, have no doubt That it
will succeed in being adopted an amendment we are
not quite so sure Lehargy dsnerestedness on the
part OF the voters to be defeated although
there be votes favor of it than against

less majority Of all electors, voting at the regular
election, vote In favor of the amendment 1t fail to
be adopted TO further illuc1date this the following
quotation is taken from OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES McEwens

the initiative and referendum would act as protection

the present e that powers of the legislature will
not be abused by legislators?
This is not matter of condemning ali LEGISLATORS
as being dishonest nor is it holding UP to suspicion
dstrust is question guarding against
contingency that may arise.
H. The same sort of an argument ID being made
against the adoption of this amendment that is that VT

to be commended for attacking this omnous

To begin with, not of their three leaflets that

THE LIGHTING QUESTION.

AS brought out at the meeting Monday evening
Commercial club Of the attorneys who have
put the of the Duluth Edison Electric COM
pany former attorneys for the city of Duluth
during whose terms of Office the electors of the city
voted for the erection Of municipal lighting plant
Attorneys cost money. Their salaries must be paid
from the funds Of the retaining company. Possibly
their salaries treated operating expenses
We do not blame the Duluth Edison company for
retaining gentlemen neither blaming these
gentlemen particularly for looking after the interests
of their clients. We would however draw attention to
the that of the many economies that would be
brought about by municipal lighting plant would be
the elimination Of retainers and lobbyists.
We not going to be 1ndscreet as to say these
dishonest in their efforts to prevent the COM
mssioners from carrying out policy which the voters
of Duluth have demanded In three separate elections
on the question, although OF the worthy daily
supporters Duluth Edison company has charged
the commissioners and their hackers with dishonesty
We might simply say that these gentlemen paid re-
tainers who had failed to do their duty while in the
employ Of the city.
Are the citizens of Duluth going listen their cries
for sympathy for the Duluth Edison they going
analyze the situation recognize the fact that
only way In which this corporation be eliminated
from municipal politics is through the erection of
municipal lighting plant7

coded the election Of Richard Jones to the state senate

The record of Mr. Jones union labor is 50
well known in labor circles that is

When mention the fact that he is on the "black-
list" of the American Press association although
practicng attorney still carries a card In the
Commercial Telegraphers organization enough
said to convince the most skeptica to his sincerity
How he contested the primary election and received
the nomination in spite of Of his fool friends (?)
has been told in the columns of The Labor World
and indicates that he has the and
necessary in the makeup of real legislator.
Bear In mind when you go to the polls November 8
that his name will not under party head, but
will be listed -partzan."
We know him to be "partizan," however to right
especially 1t applies to the Of labor
progressive legislation. We know him to be man of
worth which should demand the support Of every true
union
