GOV. PREUS IN
ELECTION CALL
FOR JUNE 18TH
Held to Set at Rest Reports
That Governor Would Ap-
point Himself
RISE NOT SHOW N
Whether Governor Will he
Candidate Is Question; May
Stop Election in Court

st. Paul, May ia special pri.
mary and election was called today
by Governor j. A. o. Preus to IN
the vacancy caused by the death OF
tie late United States Senator Kmute
Nelson, the Governor announced
Under a writ authorizing such d
step the Governor set June ls for
the primary, and July l6 as the date
for the election.
The calling of the election def
nitely sets at rest reports that Gov
ernor Preus intends to resign as the
states chief executive to become
United States Senator. Under the
rumored plan Lieut.. Gov. Collins
would have become Governor and
then would have appointed Mr.. Preus
to the Anatorship.
1t was not indicated today whether
the Governor would be candidate at
the primary.
In calling the election Governor
Preus in the writ said he was "act-
ing by and under authority and di-
rection contained in the 18th amend
ment to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States and with the advice of the
I, Attorney General of the state of Min
nesota. The senator elected will
serve out Senator Nelson's term,
which expires June 4. 1925.
Must File Soon
Candidates for the scnatorship
must file their applications with tho
Secretary of State on or before Nav
20, stating their party affiliations.
The writ said it would not be
necessary to register voters again
for these elections; the registration
? list at the general or city election
being sufficient
Clifford Hilton, Attorney General
issued statement later saving the
vacancy could be filled in one of
two ways-by appointment or by
election.
Flrst the attorney general dcclar-
ed If chapter $50, general laws Of
1913, is valid, the Governor is em-
powered to appoint senator until
after the general election in Nov
ember, 1924. 1t would be the Gov
ernor's duty, then, the statement
said, to issue writ for naming a
successor at the general election to
fill the balance of the unexpired
term. or to March 4, 1925.
Second, the statement said, If
chapter 500 is not valid or is not fol
/ lowed it is thu duty of the Governor
under the nth amendment Ia issue
writ for an election to fill the
vacancy until 1925. This was the
step taken by the Governor.
Questions Validity
According to the Attorney -Gencr-
al there is question as to the val
idity of chapter $40 1t was approv-
ed by the legislature April 25, 1913
and provides for a primary and
election by means of which senat-
ors would be chosen by direct
vote. The 18th amendment to the
federal constitution on the samo
suDject was not ratified until May
9, 1913.
1t has been reported in political
circles that Governor Preus would
call an election, and an appeal to
the Minnesota Supreme Court for a
writ prohibiting the election would
be applied for, and determination
, made whether or not the Governo:
had power to appoint senator.

Celebration to be Held il
Trinity Lutheran Church
Here Tonight

Norway's independence Day is be-
ing celebrated today in North Da-
kota by persons of Norwegian an
cestry., A celebration will be held in
Bismarck tonight at o'clock at the
Trinity English Lutheran church,

In 1907, England had insisted upon
the transfer to her of the Norwe-
gian- Danish feet and failing to gain
this they captured Copenhagen and
took the fleet. Sweden during the
years 1912 and 1913 had succeeded in
securing from Russia, England, Prus-
sia and the guarantee that Norway
would be given to Sweden, being sep
arated from Denmark, as a reward
for Sweden's service in the struggle
against Napoleon. "A peace compact
at Kiel, Jan. II, 1914, surrendered to
the King of Sweden all rights to
the Kingdom of Norway.
Prince Christian Frederick of Nor
way and 20 other leading men of
Norway met at Eidswolf. They held
that if Denmark relinquished her
claims to Norway, this left Norway
free. They called a constitutional
convention, adopted a constitution
and Prince Christian Frederick was
elected King of Norway on May H.
1914.

the water and Instantly struck at by

the water and Instantly struck at by
the giant fish. 1T was this custom
that gave rise to the modern school
of bait-casting)
Once hooked, we would play the
fish from our point of vantage in the
trees and, when they became exhaust
ed, run them in on the shore. Then
our fish hounds, protected by brass
spiked collars. would retrieve them
for us, but not without a severe bat
tie and, in the course of seasons
fishing, we would lose many Of the
valuable and fearless animals.
SAVAGE FISH DIMINISH
After several seasons of this hazard
Gus sport we noticed a marked dimin-
ishing in the numbers of these ex-
tremely savage fish. Then came the
bull gill blight of '02 and, so we sup
posed, carried away the remaining
few. Then it became safe to ven
ture down to the very shore Of the
lake. Boats and canoes could sail
thereon with impunity. It became
truly an anglers paradise with, as We
thought, every danger removed.
Then one calm evening-to be ex-
act, on the 18th of August, 1903
Mr. Bean and were just starting back
to our cabin. 1t had not been an
unusually good day, a bit too calm if
anything, and we were a little asham-
ed of our showing. In front of
the camp, and about a hundred yards
from the shore, we decided to have
one last try.
To the right tiny rifle or eddy
caught the faint rays of the setting
sun. 1t was chance-the last
chance; and we took it. The rod
whistled through the dusk. The fly
landed prettily right on the very edge
of the rifle. 1t 1loated aimlessly for
a second.
