MAY Be FORCED TO
CALL LEGISLATURE
MEN ALL OVER STATE ARE URG-
ING GOVERNOR TO
ACT.
ELECTION LAWS need FIXING
SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR
SCHOOL INJUNCTION ARGU-
MENTS THIS WEEK.

St. Paul, JAM. 21-Although it is
known that his excellency the COVER
nor is strongly opposed to special
session of the legislature it is more
than an even bet that his signature
eventually will be attached to call
directing one. If such does material
ize, the gathering of the state law
makers ought to be held within the
next six weeks, because the winter
months are slack months on the farms
and in business. While there are
many things of statewide interest
needing legislative attention the most
important is the correction of the
present election laws as they apply to
the state military within the United
States and abroad and if the call
does come this demand will be mainly
responsible. Under laws passed at a
special session of the legislature in
1916 Minnesota voters in the military
service of the United States and out
side the confines of the state are en-
titled to the ballot. The polling and
counting of the votes is done through
the medium of special commissioners
who are sent direct to the military
camps and into the fields of military
action. This special law was passed
for the benefit of several thousand
Minnesotans then stationed on the
Mexican border, but now with thous-
ands of the states first and second
voters located in a dozen camps in
as many states of the Union as well
as abroad, new problems have arisen
which in measure render this law
almost imperative. The principal
trouble is the lack of time. Another
is doubt as to the right of the state
to send the ballot abroad. Under the
Minnesota election laws the last day
for filing in the case of county, NUM-
cipal and town office is twenty days
before the primary and in state Offices
forty days. 1t does not require any
stretch of the imagination to show
that to convey the ballot to the sold
iers, distribute and count the same in
this brief period is a physical impos-
sibility; in fact in the case of Mime
sotans abroad such simply cannot be
done. Forty days is brief enough, but
the twenty days period as it. applies
to county and municipal Offices is
nothing but absurd. With better than
25. 600 MinneSOtanS of votinu aUa in
the service of the United States and
all of them in camp, this is an i'm
portant matter and unless attended to
will make farce of any attempt to

of Washington county. He has been
frequently mentioned in connection
with the office of secretary Of state.
Mr.. Nelson is very popular in Wash
ing and adjoining counties. Mr..
Preus's friends will probably back
Oscar Arneson, now in the office of
the state auditor.
Rumor has been busy of late with
the name of Secretary of State
Schmahl, the talk running to the pos
sibility of his early entrance into the
Republican gubernatorial game.
Stories were af1oat this week to the
effect that he had fully determined to
make the race and that he would of
ficially file before the first of February.
Similar stories are afoat concerning
Thomas Frankson, now holding down
the job of lieutenant governor.
Neither Secretary of State Schmahl
nor Litutenant Governor Frankson
will admit anything, but get this,
they are doing a lot Of figuring and
thinking, and the early announcement
of the candidacy of either would not
at all be surprising. If the two
enter the Republican gubernatorial
race the present Republican incum-
bent can be assured that he has the
fight of his life on his hands. Both
are big vote getters.
.
The state senate has never had a
taste of former Representative L. C.
Spooner of Morris, but the chances are
excellent that the Stevens county
statesman may be thrust upon that
august body should State Senator
Rustad Of Wheaton elect to try fling
at the judiciary, which it is said he is
now considering. If he does try it will
be as a rival of Judge Stephen A.
Flaherty of the Sixteenth judicial
district which of course will leave the
senatorship open to Mr.. Spooner. L.
c. Spooner was put on the shelf year
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-01-24

picked out Rep. Henry Bjorge of Lake
Park to go against him. In the Tenth
district Tom Schall will have his old
opponent Lowell E. Jepsen of Mime
apolis again as a rival. Jepson has
so far made two unsuccessful runs for
the nomination.
There will be three vacancies on the
supreme bench to be filled at the COM
ing primaries. but it is hardly likely
that there will be any great rush to
file for the positions. The retiring
members are Chief Justice Calvin L..
Brown, Justice Oscar Hallam, and
Justice Holt, and as all three will un-
doubtedly be candidates for renomi-
nation, any one with hankering for
their jobs will have to go some to
distance them. The general opinion is
that all three will be returned. In
fact there is now a movement on to
discourage opposition of any kind.
Steps looking toward such have been
taken particularly in the case of
Chief Justice Brown. Opposition of
any kind in his case is generally re-
garded as foolhardy.
This week the supreme court will
hear arguments in the matter Of the
order enjoining the use of current
state school funds for other than cur
rent school purposes, and it is ex-
pected that the court will reach an
early decision. More than $4,000, 900
of state school money which has been
tied up for several months is involved.
AS will be remembered this suit
hanks back to the veto of Gov. Burn
quist when better than $1,OOO,OOO for
school deficit purposes was sent to the
discard. Ever since state school
finances have been in state of chaos
while the districts have been digging
down in their pockets for interest at
the rate of nearly 500 day in order
to borrow enough to tide them over.
The governors veto was prompted b
a spirit Of economy, his idea being
that old debts could be paid out of
current funds and that the next legis-
lature would provide, but the lower
court held otherwise. Ever since all
school funds have been tied up pend
ing the settlement of the controversy
by the supreme court.
The name of S. G. Iverson, now in
the military service of the United
States, has been resurrected in the
matter of a possible vacancy in the
office of state auditor. Friends re-
gard him as a possibility in the event
that J. A. o. Preus, the present audi
tor goes after the congressional nomi-
nation over in the Fifth district. Since
his retirement from politics Mr.. liver
son has been holding down a clerical
position in the accounting department
at Fort Smelling with the title of
first lieutenant and he wears his
kahki uniform with considerable pride.
This year friends received New Years
greetings from him in the shape of
his photograph showing him in full
regimentals. Close friends say that
Mr.. Iverson is satisfied and has no
further desire to participate in the
state game. Another name mentioned
in connection with the state auditor
ship is N. A. Nelson, county auditor

carry out the provisions of the pres
ent military election law. This alone
makes the holding of a special ses-
sion of the legislature almost impera-
tive.
Quite few who believe that the
State Safety Commission is above the
constitution are taking the position
that corrections in the law, including
the curing of any doubt as to the
right of the state under the present
law to send the ballot abroad can be
made by that body, but the whole
thing is questionable. No court as
yet has had the temerity to endow it
with legislative powers, though it has
to be said that the commission has
attempted several things that danger
ously border on such.
. Another matter being agitated and
which calls for almost immediate ac-
ton is a moratorium for Minnesota
soldiers. By reason of the draft
many farmer boys and even men in
the cities were compelled to leave
hurriedly and with their property in
terests unprotected and as a result
there has been much hardship. That
any one would take advantage of such
would seem hardly possible, but it is
of knowledge that more than one poor
devil has lost his all in his hurried
answer to the colors. Shylocks are just
as much in evidence now as of old. It
is shame to admit it, but Mime
sofa is one of the few states that has
failed to answer the call of distress
in this respect. Iowa, a neighboring
state, enacted soldiers moratorium
several months ago. The governors
reluctance to call an extra session of
the legislature it is known lies in the
fear that the members would run
rampant in the matter of legislation,
but leaders of the two bodies, think
such action could be curbed. They
contend that enough pledges could be
secured to make any departure from
a set program practically impossible.
Congressional contests in more than
one Minnesota district are scheduled
for this spring. About the only ones
who will get by without rival will be
Congressman Sydney Anderson, pos
sibly Congressman Miller of the
Eighth district and Frank Ellsworth
of the Second district. In the Third
district Congressman Davis is sure of
A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota
is picked by quite a few to put Davis
out of the running. In the Fourth dis
trict Carl Van Dyke may have several
on his trail, while in the Fifth, which
is Hennepin county, Ernest Lundeen is
due for the fight of his life. In this
district State Auditor Preus, state
Senator, Campbell and Councilman
Josiah Chase have already announced
their candidates. Campbell has even
filed. In the Sixth district opposition
to Congressman Harold Knutson is
talked of in the person of Mark
Woolley, county attorney of Hubbard
county. In the Seventh district
Congressman Volsted may get by
opposition, but in the Ninth
