tire state-means an increased de-
mand for everything that is grown,
raised or made in the State-just so
soon will every loyal Minnesotan per-
form his duty at the polls by voting
this amendment to our state Consti-
tuition.
''That amendment failed to carry
last election simply and wholly be-
cause the people did not understand
it, and therefore refused to vote for
it-and thereby Indirectly voted
against it. And they will vote again
and again the same way until cam
paign of education and explanation is
organized and conducted in every part
of the state.
Publicity Wins for No. 8.
1--WE have been shown how to carry
this amendment. The people who or
ganized for the passage of Amend
ment No. last year have shown us
fully and clearly just what must be
done, just how we must proceed to
secure the success of No. next year
at the polls. Certainly No. 9 last
year was not so important to all that
is best for the State as compared
with No. 3 last year, which will ap-
pear as No.. next year. But a
special campaign was inaugurated
and conducted with vigor, ability,
determination, and, of course, sue
cess was the result Now, of all the
amendments that will be before the
people next year Amendment No. 1
occupying tn most favorable location
among the printed amendments, and
towering over all others in general
Importance to the people of the state,
ought to command more attention
than any or all of the other amend
ments combined. Therefore, this is
this amendment through and make it
a part of our constitutional provi-
sions. But, nothing is pushed ex-
cept as somebody pushes it. And
who, if not we, are expected to lead
in all worthy effort to secure the
success of Amendment No. i?
Big Opportunity.
with the passage of this amend
ment, we will have friendly Legis-
lature at our next session to carry
out it's provisions, and such carrying
out will increase the value of North
ern Minnesota, and the State, mil
lions, yes, tens of millions of dollars.
To push through to a successful issue
is one of the big things we may now
do. Here is an opportunity Of a life
time for you and I to do something
big, valuable, historic for our state.
Everyone Of us feels conscience of
this opportunity to do something for
himself, his family, his State. which
is worth doing.
II, therefore, advise that a commit
teen be appointed with power and
authority to raise campaign fund
of from five to ten thousand dollars,
to be expended in a campaign of
education and publicity for Amend
ment No. 1. I feel sure that such
amount can be raised among the
Northern counties of the state, with

NoIse,

Much excitement and some alarm
was oceosioned yesterday afternoon
about o'clock when the manholes of
the gas mains from Ninth aud Main
Streets were blown from their places,
with loud explosions, The caps at
Ninth and Main, Ninth aud Franklin
and Ninth and Grace were blown out.
with a loud noise, and the building
at No 922 East Main Street was shaken
a little,
superintendent Davis got his men to
work at once. and the mains were re-
lieved of any excess gass which might
have remained after the explosion.
The streets at that hour were crowd :
ed with vehicles and pedestrians. and
when the explosion occurred people
scattered in all directions.
1t was believed by many that some
one had attempted to blow up the
-EIrt- National -Bank-R uildinG-This
fear was allayew in a few moments,
however. when the real trouble had
been located.
