Live Bismarck Topics
One of the youngest members of the
senate. but one of the most level.headed,
is Mr.. Yager of Oberon, in Benson
county. He is college graduate, and
brings to his work fine education. A
life of several years among the farmers
OF North Dakota is caluclated to impress
one pretty strongly with the knowledge
that the settlers need some liberal laws
1r-on c1r,0th hirD o1co fnr fho1p hono-
fit. All the rain in the heavens wOnld
not make the farmers prosperous if the
coal barons. the wheat sharks and the
other monopolies took the last cent of
profit, because it is possible for them to
do so. Mr.. Yager's vote is always on the
side of the farmers real interests.
Representative Buchanan of Sargent
county, is the life of any social party he
is with,-the essence of good fellowship
strikes out from the depths of bis
twinklirg black eyes. Every body likes
him personally, and when the scowl of
business settles down on his counte-
nance in the house, there is no member
who gets inside of Legislative questions
quicker, or views them more sensibly
! tn IN he. Mr.. Buchanan was once placed
in a position where those who did not
know him, might think he was a crank.
He escaped from the false situation
early in the winter, and the most observ-
ing critic has never found any thing
since to base a similar charge on against
''Buck"-as his friends call him. His
county need have no fear that her re-
preventative is not making a good re-
cord. He is probably surprising some
of the constituency by doing good deal
when he promised little.
According to the Argus, DR.. Coe of
Mandan, is reported in line to supercede
DR.. Archibald. The same old kick that
was started last year, by the same old
Ma ndan outfit, is seen in this. The Leg
islative investigation cost the state over
SOCIAL for nothing. The Argus must
have its little sensation, however.
The McGinty deception assumed a
dozen different shapes today and num-
bered victims by the score. Judges,
members of the legislature, the third
house. one and all, went down with Dan
McGinty to watery grave. One of the
most killing bats was a subscription
paper for charity which Representative,
Wickham passed along. t'ome signed
first and the crowd furnished the infor-
nation amid cruel jeers and fendish
laughter.
\ roaring camp fire was held tonight
by the G. A. r. boys and the old embers
of army life poked up until they glowed
again. A large number Of members OF the
legislature were present and mades short
speeches Among the speakers were Gov.
Miller, 1t. Gov. Dickey, Senators Worst
and Rowe. Attorney General Goodwin,
State Superintendent Mitchell. Col.
Plummer and Capt. Brundage of Daw-
son.
