Political Reform in the Far West
Philadelphia Record surveys proposed constitutional changes in North and South Dakota, Washington, and Montana. They urge a secret Australian ballot, direct popular election of U S senators, minority representation, no private detectives, single legislative chamber, annual sessions, and land taxation for idle holdings. Voters show strong support for secrecy and reform to curb railroad influence.
