Not True on Its Face,

The Fargo Argus prints the following
statement today:
Secretary D. 3. Holt has returned
from Grand Forks, where lie attended q
meeting of the democratic executive CON-
mittee. AS a result of the meeting. lead
ing populists all over the state Yesterday
received kilograms announcing that the
popullst executive committee had come
TO an agreement with the democratic ex-
ecutlve committee, whereby Kinter was
to receive the support of both parties
for governor and Muir for congress. AS
this deal was consummated after the
two tickets were filed with the secretary
of state. Wallace's name must remain on
the populist ticket, though the votes of
his party have been traded from under
his feet Lieutenant Governor Wallace
was no party to the trade, which was
also bitterly opposed by a minority of
the popul1st committee
AS none of the "leading populists"
here have been telegraphed regarding
the above, it is probably nothing but
campaign fake. The fact that Mr.. Wal
lace's name remains on the ticket would
seem to be of itself refutation Of the re-
port, which is in line with the past efforts
OF republican managers Of the state cam
paign to create dissensions and hostility
between the democrats and independ-
ents for partisan purposes.
In any event this matter ought to be
regarded from another than a partisan
light, by the voter. Both Messrs.
kienter and Wallace are men who repre-
sent something besides party nomina-
tion. Mr.. Wallace is strong with the in
dependents, who like man pledged to
carry out their national platform of
principles as far as governor can con-
sistently, and in Mr.Wallace they believe
they have the man to economically and
safely run the Office in case of his cleo
tion, and to especially conduct it in the
interests of the taxpayers.
In Mr.. kinter the democrats find
most acceptable candidate, and also
many independents and republicans for
several reasons of state nature. Mr.
kinter was the close adviser and &C.
knowledged friend OF the independent
members of the last legislature. He
was recognized as man who could not
be approached to assist in or agree not
to fight any questionable matter of legis-
latlon. Every one knew bis position on
the resubmission and other issues and
this very fact coupled with ability and
reputation for integrity has made kinter
strong candidate, regardless Of beng
nominated by party whose national
record has met with much disapproval
this Year. Both kinter and Wallace
represent the main wishes OF the farm
Ing taxpayers of the state. Both will get
blg vote, and while both can not be
elected it ls believed that one of them
will.
The candidacy of Roger Allin as the
| republican candidate does not meet with
any increasing favor from the rejecting
voter who knows the circumstances OF
nomination at Grand Forks, his action
two years ago in defeating his own
party IN his own county. and
that he is advertised as "honesC' Roger
Allin to the farmers and prohi bltionists.
and is the friend and candidate of the
railroad, bank and saloon element of his
party. and was nominated by that ele-
ment as its first and only choice for gov
ernor. Mr.. Allln may be all right as an
individual farmer of Walsh county, but
he has done nothing, said nothing, or
represented nothing since hie nomina-
tion to increase the confidence in him of
people who are looking for staunch and
reliable man to fill the executive chair.
1t is very hard to discover Mr. AlIin's
real views on any question at sll. He
simply stands to represent the party ma
chine and II elected will, it is fair to pre-
sumo. continue to do so.
