will render the whole reform illus
DRY, even if it should be adopted, ac-
cording to Heinrich Stroebel, a. So
cialist member of the Prussian diet.
In an article in the Independent
Socialist organ, The Leipzig Volks
zeitung, Herr Stroebel assails the
governments bill as an attempt ito
smuggle the plural franchise In
through the rear door and thus rem
der the equal franchise utterly
worthless"
Herr Stroebel quotes the following
provision from the act OF May 80,
ts49, regarding the formation OF the
election districts:
The election districts shall be
erected On the basis OF population as
shown by the latest census"
The writer then cites the para
graph in the new bill regarding dis
trtcting which reads:
The erection of the election dis
tricts and the apportionment Of dele
gates shall be determined by taking
regard to the number of inhabitants
and the territorial area, Ss well as to
the historic and economic indepen-
dence of the election districts"

forces in France, to his uncle, Com
nlander w. L. Burdick, Brooklyn

q. p. Tough, OF Fargo, give an In
terestfng insight into the life of the
soldier behind the lines in France.
Lieut.. Tough writes that the French
people never laugh at the mistakes
of the American soldiers, but are
sympathetic and try to understand
and assist them in making their
wants known. He finds them not on
ly polite. but kind.
Lieut.. Tough was formerly field
engineer for the state highway COM
mission in North Dakota. He arr
rived in France the latter part Of
March.

THE resolution passed by both houses
of the legislature requesting Governor
Philip to call a special election on
April End has been accepted by the
governor as a request of the people he
was morally bound to respect. In ex-
PLANTATION for the call Gov. Phillip says:
Il will state frankly that would not
have called this election if the resolu-
ton had failed by a substantial vote.
The responsibility for this election rests
upon the political propagandists who
have carried ona campaign for it. This
is the force, no doubt, that compelled
the legislature to take the action that
it did. However, if had declined the
expressed legislative will would again
have been accused of denying the peo-
pie the right Of exercising their right
of franchise | have been anxious chat
the state be well represented in the
upper house of congress, and in asking
the appointive power | stated that l
would be glad to appoint Congressman
Lenroot, who has made splendid rec
ord in the house of representatives. In
doing this I publicly indicated the type
of man thatI believed should represent
this commonwealth in the United States
senate | hope that the people who
have forced this election have the same
high standard in mind. The response
bility rests upon them. If the man
who is elected does not measure up to
Mr.. Lenroot's standard it will be up to
the politicians who have brought about
this result to apologize to the people. f"
