North Dakota Republican: Senator
Casey's remarks in withdrawing from the
senatorial contest are published in this
issue of the Republican. They are heroic
words spoken by a brave party leader, and
no one can read the speech without a feel
ing of deep respect for the man who deliv-
cred it. 1t is the universal sentiment of
republicans, democrats and populists that
Mr.. Casey has been wrOnged by his party
in Bismarck. He deserves better treat.
ment. When the common people of this
state get a chance they will put their seal
in crucifying SO numerically this polished
statesman, scholar and Christian gentle
man. He is a man of strict honor and in
teRrity, and the country needs just such
men IN the United States senate. 1t needs

with the senatorial election. With a ma

the members have FILTERED away their
strength by fractional subdivision through
the whole session, which has low reached
its tortieth day nearly. They have OBJ

primacy in North Dakota and they might

party will by this result be effectually
wrecked blythe transcendent folly of a
selfish and bigoted individualism. The
Journal has no desire TO interfere With the
north state politics: but the wrecklng of
the republican party in that state is some
thing which concerns republicans all over
the country, and they are naturally inter-
ested in the precariOus situation of the
party at this stage of the senatorial con
test. The one duty, it is plain, is for the
republicans to mass their strength at once
without any further Delay. Otherwise the
remarkable act of a political party in full
control of the legislative body and yet de-
liberately advocating its power and hand
ing the function of electing a United States
senator over to its enemies, will astonlsh
the country.
Grand Forks Herald: 1t is of more i'm.
portance to the citizens of North Dakota
that the farmers pursue q course of DIVERSE
fed agriculture and stock raising than that
the legislature should elect any senator.
Diversified farming means many sources
of income. BY raising stock money is
being accumulated every day. Even while
the owner sleeps his cattle, sheep and hogs
will not lose any time-as the legislature

may enjoy a season of unapproached pros

lnkster Tribune: The senatorial contest
at Bismarck has been delayed and fooled
are thoroughly Disguised with the whole
lot. In all the towns and cities there is
loud condemnation of the manner in which
the contest has been managed. The indie
pendents are in a large measure to blame
for the delay. 1t is true they have as good
a right to existence as either of the old
parties. but the third hand in a legislator
deters the progress of the fight. A third
party is always detrimental to the progress
of LEGISLATION. II at this time there were
onlystwo parties in Bismarck, the sena-
torial fight would have been ended in less
than a week. Whenever a small third
party has managed to held the balance of
power, they have been a great drawback
and expense to the state or nation. If the
they would have selected a good man from
their party and elected him at once. If
they had done this they would have gained
some lost ground.
