was LaMoure's co-worker in the scheme.
Not satisfied with knocking out the slope,
the two senators named waxed exceeding
gleeful, poked prominent Bismarkers in
the ribs, laughed at Messrs. Little, Worst
and McGillivray and Miller, the slope
senators, jumped up and cracked their
heels together, ,andwere too enthusiastically
and aggressively happy for anything
| in fact, ''toO happy to have it last"
Well, the slope boys left the senate
feeling mighty blue. They had been be;
| trayed in the house by those they had sup
posed to be their friends. Their "mad"
was up, to be sure; but their anger was an
infinitessimal particle In comparison with
their disgust. They Kept up "a devil of
thinking" just the same.
| Monday morning, when Senator La
Moure made the customary motion to cor
rect and approve the journal, there was a
hitch. Something was in the wind. But,
as that something was not yet fnlly under
stood, by either side, the senate almost
Immediately adjourned.
Well, to make long story short, the
prohibs and slope senators combined, and
Tuesday the proceedings in relation to re-
submission and relocation were expunged
from the journal, and the doughty Penn
bina statesman and the jolly miller from
Grand Forks were in the soup up to their
necks.
Do the people of Burleigh and the slope
visitors in town approve the "unhoiy alli-
ance," as the Red river valley resubs term
the combine? Well, should say they do.
There are no exceptions. Prohibs-resubs
saloon men-all indOrse it. In fact, not
a fair-minded man in the state blames the
slope members. Senator John Haggart of
Cass-always fair and always true to his
friends-although very sorry for the defeat
of resubmission, says the members from
the slope did right.
Senator Little, who has been tireless
and sleepless worker for the interests of
his constituents, is receiving in this matter
the united support of his district, although
it is strong for resubmission. And the
course of Senator Worst will receive the
same approval from the high-license Twen-
ty-sixth.
Senator LaMoure is the most enthusi-
astically "cussed" man in the state to-day.
There was an excuse for Senator McCor-
mack, who is citizen of Grand Forks and
who rightly believed his city, In an elect
ton, was sure winner. But LaMoure
had no such reason. He turned against a
section that has always backed him. His
only excuse has been the states
manlike one that he wanted to get
even with Aleck Mckenzie. The prohlbs
have no use for LaMoure; the slope will
never again touch hm-even with ten
foot pole; the whisky men are vigorously
damning him for the defeat of resubmis-
sion, and resubmissionists, who are such
from principle, and who hadn't much inter-
est either way in capital removal, are down
on him for his blunder. lie is on politi-
cal island without life-preserver, ana no
one will send him skiff.
This snatching of the slope interests
from the jaws OF an able bodied dilemma
is another bright and shining illustration
of the fact that the righteous are never
forsaken-even by the prohibs. s:
Notes.
Are the saloons closed in Bismarck you
ask. Yes. 1t is now impossible to get q
drink in this town-unless one has the
strength to open the saloon door and mon
ey sufficient to pay for his beverage.
