which people are almost compelled to
adapt themselves. In every day life we
may calmly discuss business problems;
but if our dwelling house catches on fire
we drop our argument and ring up the
fire department, and if the chief and his
men work untiringly and successfully and
save our home, we naturally feel grateful
and thankful to them for their services,

fashion we do not approve"

county naturally has no particular choice
as between the Richland and Cass coun-
ty candidates, both are strangers though
both are presumably good men because
they are endorsed by their respective
counties; but Pembina is enough inter-
ested in its own candidate for auditor to
be willing to support either of the other
candidates for treasurer, provided he will
bring the support of his county to their
candidate for auditor. But it is quite
evident that the thirty or forty delegates
from Pembina county cannot go and
trade with the thirty or forty delegates
from Richland:: or the fifty to sixty from
Cass, and when ticket is to be made up
OF dozen or more candidates from as
many different localities the confusion
would still be greater. In order to make
a choice or combination, there is only
one thing to do in such case, and that is
to select one or two men from each dele
cation to make the necessary arrange
ments.
All this may be wrong, but combina-
tions of this kind are natural if not ne.
cessary incidents OF politics. And as
long as there are two or more places to
be filled on ticket, and several aspir-
ants from different localities for each
place, such combinations will occur, un-
der any law, and the agents will be per-
sons whose knowledge of men and
methods, and executive ability will be
acknowledged by the different delegations
and they will be selected for that reason.
There are in almost every county in the
state, (except perhaps Grand Forks)
men whose political knowledge and nat
ural ability is such that ordinarily the
voter, even the intelligent voter, willing
ly allows and prefers that such men
should judge and act for them.
No political leader, or "boss" can long
hold his job unless he has the confidence
of his local supporters, and he cannot
have that confidence unless he merits
that confidence by his treatment of them
and their wishes. Messrs Quay, Plat,
Hanna and other noted bosses ofoutside
and of local fame, are not of their own
creation. They have majority of the
people behind them, and their first look.
out is to keep solid with their own fol-
lowing, and-to come back to primar-
ies-both Pennsylvania, Ohio and we
think New York also, have primary cleo
tons.

STATES THAT VOTE THIS FALL

In the coming fall election there will be
more state Offices filled than at any cleo
tion-other than presidential contests
since 1882. This year New York elects
a governor, a lieutenant governor, and
all other state officers, together with
both branches of the legislature and a
full congressional delegation. Pennsyl-
vania will elect state officers and legis-
lature, which will choose United States
senator to succeed Matthew S. Quar-. A
very unusual event of this year will be
the simultaneous election of governors
in New York, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. The rarity of this coincidence is
explained by the fact that in Pennsylva-
mia the term of governor is four years,
while in New York and New Jersey it is
two and three years, respectively.
In Alabama governor and all other
state officers were elected last month,
and governor and other state officers
will be chosen for Arkansas, Maine and
Vermont this month. Governors will
also be elected in the following states:
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
California, Colorado, Georgia, Connecti-
cut, Idaho, Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, South Dakota, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, 2 Wyoming
and Wisconsin. The regular annual
election will be held in Massachusetts,
Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio wil.'elect state
officers; North Carolina, chief Justice;
and Connecticut, in addition to COVER
nor, will elect other state officers. In
Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Missouri the elections will
be unimportant this year.
On the fourth of March, 1899, the terms
of thirty United States senators will ex-
pire, among them being twelve republi-
cans, twelve gold democrats, three silver
republicans, two gold democrats and one
populist. Of these some have already
been reelected.
