Gentlemen:-In response to your
inquiry of october 18th concerning re-
apportionment of the Sixty-FirSt
Legislative District, let me say that
will be very glad to support legislation
at the next session which will give one
representative to what now comprises
the Vermilion Range and the territory
north to Canada.
The reason I designate a represen-
tative selection there rather than a
senator is because the usual prevailing
plan in other sections of Minnesota is
to have one representative for each
smaller district and the senator serves
two or more counties or districts
Occasionally, there is representative
at large, also.
When I was first elected to the legis-
lature in 1924, did my utmost to
align myself with the Vermilion Range
candidate for the legislature and to
aid him in his reelection.
Committee on Re-Apportionment in
the Senate and any change in legis-
lative districts will have to be accom-
plished first by this committee con-
sisting of eleven senators. Inasmuch
as I have served several sessions in
the Senate, will likely be afforded
place on the Re-apportionment Com
mittee again if I am reelected.
I suppose you appreciate that having
a friend on that committee is worth
considerable If that committee fails
to act agreeably on your proposal there
would be little hope of the legislature
adopting your request.
Re-apportionment, in general, pro-
miSes to be strenuous issue during
the coming legislative session because
the federal census has just been taken
and indicates, among other things, that
Minnesota's congressional districts will
have to be revised so as to eliminate
one congressman in this state.
Yours very truly,
GEO. LOMMEN.

Dear Sirs:-In reply to yours of the
18th instant relative to the represen-
tation of the Vermilion Range, in the
Senate and House of Representatives
of this State, I am pleased to inform
you, that I am firmly in accord with
your contention. that the Vermilion
Range is entitled to direct represen-
tative and that whether or not I am
elected, will do all in my power to in
sure this in years to come. You will
recall that strongly urged candi-
date for State Representative from the
Vermilion Range this year and that
filed only after definite assurance that
there would be none.
AS further evidence of my good
faith in this matter, wish to assure
you, that should the desired change
become a law during the next legis-
lative session, I will actively support
any candidate indorsed by a represen-
tative body of the Vermilion Range
at the next general election.
May close with the assurance that
if elected a Representative of the 61st.

to as fully, fairly and impartially
represent the Vermilion Range, as

NIPPED BY FORGERY
Find Pathway of Romance
Is Not Rosy.

Sioux Falls, 8. DAWN Krouse
and Mrs. Olga Lossow, clippers from
Minneapolis, did not find the pathway
Of their romance a rosy one, for both
now occupy cells in the state peniten-
tiary in Sioux Falls.
They were sentenced to indetermi-
nate terms, not to exceed five years
each, for forgery, when they pleaded
guilty before Judge John T. Medin in
Circuit court here.
Krouse was sentenced first, and
when 1t came time for the woman
she asked that she be given the same
sentence. II ask this" she told the
court, because / want to get out at
the same time he does"
Alvin Krouse and Mrs. Lossow and
her husband were neighbors in Min

often met secretly, and they became

Takes $500 Certificate.
Mrs. Lossow decided to take with
them certificate of deposit issued
by st. Paul bank to her husband.
This proved the undoing Of the elop-

After clipping from Minneapolis they

reside. She had been married to Los

ers, for to her parents she represented
Krouse to be Lossow.
After thus deceiving her parents
Mrs. Lossow prevailed upon them to
accompany herself and Krouse to a
Garretson bank to identify Krouse as
Lossow, so he could cash the $500
certificate Of deposit which was in Mr..
Lossow's name. In order to get the
$500 from the bank Krouse forged the
name of Lossow to the certificate.
Forgery Discovered.
Soon after obtaining the money the
clippers left the home Of the women's
parents and went East. When the
forgery became known and officers
sought to trail the. clippers it was
learned that they had gone from Gar
retson to the region north of Superior,
Wis.
For some time all trace of them was
lost. Then Krouse and the woman
appeared at Superior, where officers
saw them and recognized them as the
clippers wanted in Sioux Falls for for

Its effect on Claire was moi what
Paul had anticipated. To his amaze
ment 1t was she who suggested they
spread their luncheon on the edge OF
a great slab of rock which projected
into the stream, and from where they
could look upon the wonderful play of
water below them. This rock, several
acres In extent, was covered with soil
which was continually absorbing mois-
ture from the river, so that 1t had
clothed itself with carpet of flowers
and grass until It was an oasis of
beauty in the heart of rock-visaged
landscape which otherwise would have
possessed little to offset its more for

also selected the spot for their table

afterward so that all might sit look

tenure like an indomitable guardian
