HON. JOHN W. CURRIE'S training
as a business man especially fits him
for his position of railroad commits
sioner, inasmuch as he has known from
actual contact the difficulties which the
western merchant and farmer has had
to encounter from excessive or exorbi-
tant railroad charges or lack of proper
facilities for many years. His knowledge
IS in no sense theoretical. He knows the
needs of the farmer as we'll as a mer-

again made up his mind to migrate, and
he did, moving to the then new town of
Fargo, where he was engaged as clerk in
the old Headquarters. In this position he
remained seven years, leaving it to ac-
cept the deputy county treasurership,
under Andrew H. Burke, afterward gov

his uniform courtesy, ability and popu-
larity won for him the friendship of the
taxpayers of the entire county, and
when Burke was chosen as governor OF
the state, Mr.. Nichols, after six years as
deputy, was the unanimous choice of the
voters of Cass county to take his place
as treasurer. His popularity, and the

Missouri portion of the state claimed a
position on the state ticket, and in look
ing for their best man selected Hon.
John W. Currie, and insisted upon his
accepting the position of railroad COM
missioner. They insisted because of his
known fitness; because of his reputation
for integrity; because of his personal
popularity, and because he is practical
in all things. He is a brother of Archie
Currie, deceased, who was one of the
most popular republicans in the state,
and also to W. A. Currie, engaged in the
wholesale grocery trade in Grand Forks.
There is everything to recommend Mr..
Currie to the practical business men and
the practical farmers of this state. He
will do what is right-what Is practi-
cal-and will see that the laws are tested
if bad laws, and enforced if they are
capable of enforcement. There will be
no fear, no special favor, but a practical
business administration of the office.

GOVERNOR ALL1N's election to the
executive chair has made him more
chivalrous than ever, and a long section
of his message is in advocacy of an ex-
tension of the franchise. The emphasis
placed upon this question by Governor
Allln is equalled only by the alacrity
with which Major Edwarde proceeds to
place himself in line for woman suffrage.
His House bill No. 2 is short but to the
point. It gives to women all the privi-
leges that men o enjoy. It will be re-
membered that the legislature .'played
horse" one time and passed a womaa
suffrage bill, and then prevailed upon
Governor Pierce to veto it. That sort of
thing wouldn't go with the present exc
utive.
