that the new law directs a far greater
sum into actual bodybuilding.
Is 1t Or Isn't II?
Is this a special session or a con-
t%inuation of the Fifteenth regular as
sembly?
Speaker Howard Wood seems to
take it for granted that it is the at
ter. He holds that no reorganization
OF h house is necessary. as this is
merely the Fifteenth assembly, come
to life after a years nap, and hat all
committee appointments and other or
CARNATIONS hold rel Others contend
that if he is correct. and this is the
Fifteenth assembly extended. it is a
regular and not a special session, and
that many things may happen in a
regular session which couldn't be
thought of in a special.
So far as MI. Wood is concerned.
the final construction Of the aw
would make little difference. as
leaguers say he would undoubtedly be
the choice of the house majority for
the speakership. and that he then
could proceed to reappoint his entire
slate of las years committees. In
have been made by a committee on
committees, in conference with Lieut..
Governor Kraabel. Mr.. kraabel
reached the city too late last night to
be interviewed on the subject.
Declaring For Short Session.
Non Partisan leaguers are a unit in
declaring for a short session. We'll
finish our business and quit and let
the other fellows stay here If they
want to-" said Rep. l.. l.. Stair of
Bottineau. He admitted. tho, that

could do. under the constitution,
would be to take a three days recess,
as it is provided hat NEITHER house
may adjourn more than three days
without the consent of the other body.
Rep. ~. A. Leiderbach of Dunn
county, now a ~full-1edged league or
ganizer. declared on his arrival his be-
lief that the session should wind up
Saturday night or next Monday MORN
ing.
I'm against considering anything
not absolutely a war measure, re-
quired to meet an emergency" said
Leiderbach. I'VE would be foolish to
try to go into a lot of progressive
legislation at this session."
I'VE would not be keeping the faith
with our constituents if we took up
, anything other than war measures or
continued this session one day longer
than necessary" said Senator Drown
of Page. Il am very decidedly
against any Investigations or any gem
eral legislation at his time. l don't
feel we should pile up one penny more
expense than necessary"
Whats it all about?" Senator Gil
Haggart Of Fargo was asked. Search
me-" replied the statesman from Cass.
I'm here to find out l haven't a
thing on my mind. right now"
Frazier Fol President.
The talk drifted into the June
primaries this morning. II look for
no change in the lineup on the state
ticket" said Rep. Leiderbach. Stair
of Bottineau seemed to have the same
idea. Neither would suggest any,
thing as to the possibility of Judge E.
B. Totten of Bowman being the
leagues candidate for the place on the
supreme bench to be filled at the next
general election. Totten is generally
touted as the leagues choice, but
since recent developments his can
didacy has been kept. rather quiet.
Frazier will be our next governor.
all right" said Leiderbach. Were
going to keep on electing him gov
ernor as long as we need him, and
then we're going to send him to the
United States senate or make him
president of the United States"
Not After Scalps.
We're not out after any scalps.'
said Stair of Bottineau. when the fate
of the hoid-over senator's came up.
These men ave served the people
for -four years. If they come up for
reelection we're simply going to give
the people a chance to say whether
they want -four years more of them.
One thing YOU a put down in files
for future reference. and that is the
league is going to elect a majority of
to have control of both houses.
House Bill "A will not be resur-
rected at this special session. We've
stood these conditions a good many
years. n we can stand another year
of it. At the next regular session
We'll have both houses. and then We'll
consider a. and other things we've
been waiting for"
A Place For The Goats.
Plans for the national park in the
Killdeer mountains are progressing
nicely, reported Rep. Leiderbach. and
it was suggested that this might make
d good preserve for the goats the
league has captured and those it is
trapped out of the park this winter az
a means Of saving the trees. An APP
preparation of $4,000 for the pur.
chase OF land Is expected from this
session OF congress-.
Six-Days School.
Rep. c. E. Knox of Cakes, while not
a Lacquer, has a bill which may meet
with popular approval. 1t would pro-
vide for six days school a week as a
means of shortening the session and
releasing farmer boys earlier in the
spring, when their services will be re-
quired in seeding. Dickey, county is
much in favor of this bill. State
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
Macdonald was asked for permission
to make Saturday a school day, but,
while he did not express disapproval
of the plan, he stated that present
laws would prohibit this innovation.

Senator A. J. Kirkeide is among the
old warehouses; on the ground today.
The famous singer from Benson is not
looking himself after a long seige OF
illness which has cost him fifty
pounds. With the coming of warmer
weather he looks for improvement
