DR.. Swanston, who so ably represented
Ramsey county in the last legislature
and was the earnest and consistent ad-
vocate of the farmers interests, Is now a
candidate for the state senate in his dis.
trict. It is also noted that Messrs,
Whipple and Lohnes, who were two of
Nelson county's representatives in the
con- con-, are also candidates for legisla-
tive honors All three are good men.
Nelson county has senator and three
representatives and could 60 farther and
fare much worse than to send those three
as her representatives. They're all
rustlers. n.
Up in Ward county the people are
talking about Mayor Belyea of Minot,
and Hon. j. L. Cotton, who represented
Ward county in the con. con-, for the
legislature. --4. '
One of the most popular candidates
before the republican convention was
Chas. F. Merry Of Stark county, who
turned in and helped out bis old friend,
Mr.. Underhlll, the west Missouri candi-
date FOR railroad commissioner. Mr.. Mar
ry was assured the Office Of deputy COM
missioner OF insurance with A. l.. Carey,
the well known nominee and present
conductor on the Northern Pacific. This
is a graceful compliment to Mr.. Merry,
and a substantial one as we'll, as the
dcputyship pays $3.50 a year. He is
amply qualified to ill the p. sition, having
had ten years experience IN the business.
Both gentlemen will add strength to the
ticket.
Errleigh was the first county to place
legislative ticket in the field. The
republicans nominated Col. Little for the
senate ana Il. a. Williams and Geo. w.
Rawlings for the house A strong ticket
and q aswinner. Williams is the man OF
| whom the New York Sun said the old
states need more men like him.
The republicans held big meeting at
Langdon last night. Nominees Miller.
Hansbrough andHelgeson made speeches.
Hon. David Bartlett OF Cooperstown,
one of the nominees for railroad COM
missioner on the republican ticket, was
in the city yesterday and promised to
make a speech IN Jamestown some time
during the campaign. He went from
here to the Red River valley where the
republican committee has made dates for
HIM for week ahead. MIR. Bartlett was
a member of the con. con-, fought the
location of public institutions and voted
with the farmers from July 4th until the
adjournment. He was generally recog-
nlzed as man of ability and Won a
reputation as one of the most eloquent
and powerful orators of that body.
When he comes to jamestown the peo-
pie are assured of hearing an eloquent
exposition of republican principles.
Capt. S. K. McGinnis writes to Dep
uty Treasurer Nierling that he will not
allow his name to be used by the demo-
Gratis as candidate for the Office Of
lieutenant governor. He also wired the
convention from Philadelphia to this
effect, but it is claimed the message was
not received. The executive committee
will IN all probability I'll the vacancy
soon.
The judicial conventions in this dis
trict will soon be held, that Of the dem
ocrats being called for one week from
yesterday. Judge Rose will undoubted-
ly be the democratic nominee. On the
repub blican side Barnes and Stutsman
are the only counties which are under
stood to have candidates. G. x. Andrns
of Valley City. will get the Barnes county
votes In this county o. H. Hewitt is
mentioned as candidate, and it is said
that S. L. Glaspell is also an aspirant.
Tue name of Attorney General
Nickeus, has been mentioned in this con-
nection, but Mr.. Nickeus declared this
moruing that he is not q candidate.
Fargo Republican: General Allen has
returned to Dakota ready and willing to
go into the canvass for the republican
ticket, from top to toe. The general is
a republican all the time and none will
labor harder for the success of the ticket
than he. The republican speaks author
itatively in the premises. Good for Al
len.
Yesterday the Bismarck Tribune
printed copy of the constitution as
certified 10 by Major Hamilton, chief
clerk of the constitutional convention.
This is an official copy, and according to
it Sargent county is entitled to but two
representatives. All the early supple
ments printed either by the Tribune or
other houses gave Sargent three.
