The all day meeting of the Murray
Alliance held Monday at the cottage
of Mrs. Win Jackson, near Camp

sembled for the days program,
which included a bounteous picnic
lunch at noon.
Fortune telling with a crystal ball
and cards was a part of the program
of entertainment, and instrumental
music also helped to make the hours
pleasurable. A guest of the day was
Miss Lillian Bemis. well known in
this vicinity as the conductor of the
Better Baking" institute and lee
lures.

MANY BILLS ARE INTRODUCED
Changes In Election Laws Bring Forth
Many Measures.

st. Paul-The question of whether
Minnesota will adopt conventions for
the nomination of candidates for state
offices and congress and restore party
responsibility in the legislature will
occupy the attention of the legislature
at once.
Advocates of conventions for max
ing party nominations will make an
active fight for the Stevens-Cameron
bill, which would provide legal con-
vention system combined with the
present primary, delegates being
elected at the primary. Party nomi-
nees for state offices and for congress
would be named by the conventions in
stead Of at the primary.
Supporters of the bills mentioned
are planning to make an educational
compaign for them, and have hopes of
their passage.
Other election measures pending
are:
Moving up the time for closing of
the polls from D. m. to D. m.
Providing for filling vacancies in the
United States Senate.
Placing the names of candidates
for vicepresident on the general cleo
ton ballot.
Putting congressional candidates on
the white ballot.

shington-Secretary of State c..
e. Hughes has resigned his portfolio,
the resignation to take effect March
next.
He will be succeeded in this office
by Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota,
now American ambassador to Great
Britain.
Shortly before, Charles B. Warren.
Of Michigan, former ambassador to
Japan and Mexico and chairman of

tic organization he will take with him

flee by selecting Alanson B. Houghton
Of New York, now ambassador to Ger
many, to succeed Ambassador Kel-
logg at London. The selection of Mr..
Houghton was a further development
in the rapid succession of official
changes.
Action Complete Surprise.
The announcement of the resigna-
ton of the secretary of state and Of
the choice of Mr.. Kellogg as his sue
cessor took official Washington COM
pletely by surprise. There had been
absolutely no prenonition of the step.
The only reason given by Mr..
Hughes, in his letter to the President,
is long cherished desire to retire to
private life from nearly 20 years of
almost continuous public service
Kellogg in Responsible Positions.
The career of Frank B. Kellogg, be-
ginning at Rochester, Mimi, and lead
ing to his selection as premier in the
cabinet of President Coolidge, began
in active politics. Leaving that field,
Mr.. kellogg rose to eminence at the
bar and was honored by election as
citation.
After serving in the u. S. Senate
and upon his retirement, President
Harding did not allow him any rest.
He was named as legal adviser to the
American delegation at the Pan
American Union convention at San
tiago, Chile He returned to st. Paul,
but after only few months came the
appointment from President Coolidge
to be ambassador at the Court of St.
James.
