confer with the chief executive ON this
and other matters of importance.
Governor Philips theory is that
members of commissions should be
appointed by the governor who is re-
sponsble to the people. Senator Skog-
mo does not believe in this central
lied. one man power idea. He says it
works out well when a reliable man
occupies the gubernatorial chair, but
he sees great danger to the commits
sion theory of government if the gov
ernor happ rs to be unfriendly to the
plan.
Cabinet Idea Stirs Interest.
In his message to the legislature
Governor Philip followed closely
every pledge in the Republican plat.
form. In addition he made the recon-
mendation that the constitution be
changed TO provide for the election OF
governor for four years and the APP
pointment by the governor o! the sec
Rotary of state, state treasurer and at
torney general, who would also serve
four years. This idea has cauced more
talk than any other phase of the gov
ernor's message. 1t is patterned after
the federal form of government.
Opposition to Primary Changes.
There will be opposition to any
proposition TO legalize party conven-
tons. Lieutenant Governor Z. F. Dith-
mar, La Toilette man. has already
announced that he will oppose this
suggestion of the governor He says
that party.conferences can be held un.
der the present primary election
law.
The governors position on the prim-
airy was of great interest, the report
having been circulated that he would
recommend the repeal of this much
discussed statute. In his message, how.
ever. he says that any bill to repeal
the primary law, which he considers
weak in many respects. should be sub
mitted to a vote of the people.
Just what the governor meant when
he urged that ''pernieious lobbyists
be driven out of the state capitol IS
causing speculation. A week has al
ready gone by and there has been a
notable absence OF lobbyists II is
known that the first violation of rules
regulating lobbying in Madison will
result in action on the part of the gov
ernor, who seems determined that
measures shall be considered on their
merits without any outside interior.
