VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Ward County Reporter: There was
not single republican in the legislature
who had any reason to vote for demo.
crat except Jud La Moure, who was
elected by all parties.
Foster County Independent: The gov
ernor has failed to appoint any one from
this part of the state as yet to any of
the different Offices he has to fill, but it
is understood that Representative Hall
from this district stands good show
for the appointment of Indian agent at
Fort Totten by President Cleveland.
Valley City Times-Record: One of
the best things that the present legisla-
ture has done is to pass an appropriation
to complete the south wing of the capi-
tol building. When the state gets as
much money in the building as the citi-
zens of Bismarck, We will probably hear
less about capitol removal. This is as it
should be.
Steele County Tribune: The election
Of Mr.. Roach was complete knockout
for the McKenzieites and now they have
pitched onto Congressman johnson and
are charging the defeat of republican
to him. Judging from the way they have
jumped upon him the public will be led
to believe that Mr.. johnson is great
and influential man. As matter of
fact he is neither. He could no more
have prevented the election of demo-
crat than man in the moon and had no
more to do with it. It was the people of
North Dakota, under the splendid lead
ership of a few such men as John D.
Benton and Governor Shortridge that
elected Mr.. Roach, and it is the rankest
kind of injustice to give Mr.. johnson
the least bit Of credit for it.
Glendale Commercial: Governor
Shortridge has signed the capitol i'm.
provement bill appropriatlng $4,000 in
bonds for the completion Of the south
wing of the capitol building. This
practically settles the capitol removal
question for all time to come.
Steele Ozone: We learn that John
Yegen, from Bismarck, is an applicant
or receiver of the United States land
Office at that place. He is one of the re-
publicans who voted for Roach.
Valley Oity Times Record: Mr.. Hill
ier's bill to build state elevator at West
Superior, costing s100,O0O,. has passed
the senate, Senator White being one of
the three senators voting against it. The
Times. Record believes that while theo-
retically it might be good thing for the
state to owD the elevators, saw mills,
shipyards and Touring mills at West
Superior, also q line of steamers run
ming from thence to Liverpool, IN prac-
tice it is liable to turn out too much like
the Panama canal scheme. If the popu-
lists we're to have absolute control of this
elevator the plan would work tirst-rate,
for the Immaculate, lily-white honesty of
each intregral part Of that famous aggre-
CATION is above reproach; but some
wicked democrat or republican would
probably become connected with it, and
we'll, in about two years the state
Of North Dakota would have miuia-
ture Panama canal scandal downin West
Superior, Wis.
Foster County Independent: The So
called Republican members of the legis-
lature are getting richly roasted by the
state press for their perfidy in casting
their votes and electiDg democratic
United States senator, and the best part
OF it is that they are not getting it any
more than they deserve.
Hope Pioneer: At last senetor has
been elected. and, IN the words of Alex
Mckenzie. I'VE bow to the Benedict Arm
olds of North Dakota.' An Independent
expresses himself as beginning to realize
mat his party was being used as cats
paw with which to pull democratic chest
nuts out of the fire.
Dickinson Press: Treachery in the re.
publican party made 1t possible to elect
Mr.. Roach senator. The traitors deserve
the severest censure, and the hand of dis
grace points to those members who
no other purpose than that Of getting onto
the band wagon. 1t is but due Messrs.
McGillivray and Simpson to say that they
stood pat all through the fight.
Grand Forks Herald: In justice to
Petersburg 1T should be said that that
place is the home of Congressman John
'"H' lib OlIClhl 10 IlOt q ClIiL0u Va uI0Au
Forks, but should he desire to move to
this headquarters, he will meet with q
cordial welcome. Grand Forks men do
not hold all the high offices, but should out
s!ders insist on calling more of us into
the public service, we have the men
competent for the work. Grand Forkers
are not Shirkers-nOr Office seekers-yet
when plain duty calls they will serve.
C0gswell Rustler: While the election of
aman of w. N. Roach's irreproachable
personality is an honor to the state. the
republican nominee was in every way
as irreproachable; and every repub.
ilcan In the Legislature. was elected
Tor the purpose Of voting for republican
t0r the senate, II he was elected for any.
thing at all; and In betraying the sacred
trust Of the republicans who elected them.
those four men who elected Mr.. Roach are
no less traitors than was Benedict Arnold.
