which is us much off lis many demo-
cratic statements we hear these days.
Mr.. Turner is IL true republican, but

purpose they have fused" with the
independents of North Dakota this

obtaining more than temporary SUI

Foster County Independent: At the
democratic state convention held in
Fargo Tuesday the democrats cut
loose from all old party affiliations
and swallowed the Independent state
ticket with the exception of congress.
They refused to endorse Tiegen for
congress who was the scandinavian
representative on the independent
ticket. but nominated james O'Brien,
of DEVILS Lake, instead. This action
of the Democrats in the state of North
Dakota is very pleasing to the repub-
licans as it means the election of the
Rep. state ticket by an overwhelming
majority. Thousands of democrats
will refuse to support the fusion

amounting to over City million dol

additional revenue is provided. The
Mills bill would not have reduced

Gratis would not discriminate. Eng

the duty replaced on sugar. This is
democracy. but Jefferson and Jackson
were not tariff reformers.' They
favored what bismarck endorses as
the "American system" of taritf-the
system that has made this the first
manufacturing country of the globe
and which if continued ten years lou
