morals committee. Dorrell had his eye on this appointment and the dry forces yere anxious to land him on that committee, because it has been the intention all along that Dorrell should introduce a state-wide prohibition bill. Senator Abe Simmons of PlufTton. another prominent dry senator, also was
left off this committee. Simmons by the way. is one of the leading advocates of the calling of a constitutional convention. Hut the democrats who framed the minority end of the committees failed to place him on the committee of constitutional revision.
This calls to mind a plan that is said to be In the minds of the wet forces in this connection. It appears to be their purpose to attempt to In-I due the members of the legislature I to believe that there should be no pro-! hlbltlon legislation at this session because of the demand feir a constltu-! tlonal convention In which the liquor ' problem could be worked out to a den- 1
nite conclusion. If they can succeed In instilling this belief into the minds! of the legislators and thus prevent any! prohibition legislaton at this session.!
the wet forces will then turn their attent.on to a campaign throughout the state to prevent the calling of a constitutional convention at all. Should they succeed In this deep laid scheme It would mean that there will be no legislation on the prohibition question, nor would there be any change In the constitution along that line. Already they are spreading the word that the question of whether a constitutional con
vention shall be called should be submitted to a vote of the people and they
arc calling attention to the fact that such a convention would cost the tax payers a large sum of money, possibly toOO.000. They hope to use this figure to scare the tax payers out of voting for a constitutional convention.
It is said that this scheme is the
real reson why some of the brewers or representatives of the liquor interests

H. F. Affleck, president of the Uni

sent another letter to the secretary of the East Chicago chamber of commerce in explanation of tho progress that Is
being made on the .installation of the
equipment designed to control the ce
ment dust against which the people of
the city and the chamber of commerce
have been protesting for several years.
The letter follows:
"My Dear Mr. Evans:
In order that you may know some
thing of the progress which we are
making in the installation of apparatus
for the collection of dust at our Buf-4
fington plant. I give you the following information: "We have already purchased thi
j greater part of the machinery needed.
That yet to be ordered Is of little cmsequence as it consists of parts that can be delivered when required. "The steel structure is tn process of manufacture. Foundations are beiifr placed to receive the structure wher-T same is not dependent on machinery. The balance of tjie foundations will bi placed to receive machines before they are delivered. "You will, no doubt, ba interested to know that the dust treaters at our Duluth plant ara -working satisfactorily and are In every way up to our expectations. "With kindest rcga.raa. I remain, "Tours verjr truly. "(Signed) B. F. AFFLECK. "President."
