The thirdparty prohibtionists, says
the Mandan Pioneer, seem to want to run
a party ticket this fall. They are not
satisfied with what the republican party
has done IN the state to enforce the pros
hibition law, and they propose to enforce
it themselves. 1t is clear enough to see
what the running of this prohibition
ticket will dot will relieve the repub.
llcan party of all responsibility for the
prohibition law. If 1t results in the elec.
ton of democratic legislature, the pro.
hibltion law will be repealed, and then
the third-party prohibitionists will be IN
boat. In this (the Mandan) legislative
district, however, the republican nomir
nees will be all right--if they are good
and acceptable men because they will be
for resubmisslon of the prohibition clause
in the constitution, and also they will be
in favor of the repeal Of the present pros
hibition law.
