most densely populated, and with this ex-
ception is well provided with public improve

Great excitement, all through the
valley, ut the news that +. A. Wilson has
finally consented to allow his name to be
used, and he has consented to be a can
didate for councilman for this district for
the next term of our Dakota Legislature.
Letters by the dozen have been coming
to him since the Grafton convention,
urging him to run. 1t is another in
stance of "the office seeking the man. -
At least the voters are seeking Mr..
Wilson and urging his candidacy, and
promising their support. Word comes
from Walsh, Ramsey and Cavileer coun-
ties that they are dissatisfied with the
result Of the recent conventions, and that
they cannot and will not support the
nominees of that convention. The tire
seems to have come at last when the in
telligent voters are beginning to arouse
themselves to the necessity Of asserting
their rights. In this new county-in
this territcry-whcre no party lines are
drawn, and where no opposing party
interest stirs the minds of men it has
been easy for any avowed Republican to
90 into convention with sufficient strength
and win the day. Success in convention
meant election. But now,-thanks to
