Big Republican Majority.

BISMARCK, Dec. l4.-The state
canvassing board met at the capitol
yesterday fer the purpose of canvass
ing the vote Of the state at the last
election, but labors of the board will
be delayed several days because of
the absence of the returns from
Mercer county. The auditor of that
county sent down form of. return
two weeks ago which was not in ac-
cordance with the requirements ofthe
department Of state and which were
not certified as required by law and
they were sent back to be corrected
as required. Ur to the present time
the corrections had not been received
and the state returns are therefore in
complete to that extent. A mes
senger was sent to the county seat,
Stanton, but it will be several days
before the duties OF the board can be
completed. The official returns with
exception OF this one county show
large majorities for all the republican
candidates. Lieutenant Governor
Devine is among the leader in point
Of majority, the total vote for him be-
ing 2S,s17 to 1921 for Bently,
Devine's majority being over 1900.
Young has 27,8o7 to 1889 for Fish;
Fancher 27,118 to 19,4S7 for Holmes
and Spalding 27,6o4 to 17,8I9 tor
Creel. The vote of Mercer county
will add perhaps $50 to the republi
can majority.
The constitutional amendment car
ried by large majority, almost every
county returning majority IN favor
of it, although the vote was light as
compared with the vote for state Of
fcers. The amendment requires the
enactment by the legislature of educa-
tional qualifications for voters.
The vote for members of the legisla-
ture show seventy-eight republicans
and fifteen fusionists to the assembly
to convene the first of the year.
Griggs courier., 1898-12-22

For some weeks past the
Courier has been trying to get
the Sentinel to come out and tell
us how to remedy the many evils
for which it has been very busy
laying to the republican party.
Instead of pointing out a way it
tells us to read our exchanges
which is a very meek way of say
ing that it does not know of any
remedy to suggest. 1t does say
that the governor Speaking of
Shortridge) had no business to
set up his authority against 93
Legislators. The governor did
not have to set up his authority
against 93-the fusionists had 40
of those SO members-why didn't
they back up the governor.
They were mostly absent and not
voting when the appropriation
bills came up. 1t seems to make
a whole lot of difference who is
governor. The pops can excuse
their own man, and the legisla
ture can walk off with the state
treasury if he is a pop and the
governor is supposed to say moth
ing. But a republican governor
the Sentinel would roast to death
if he failed to set up his authority.
According to the Sentinel Gov.
Fancher should not set up his
authority, and any old measure
that goes through should not be
stopped. This is the silliest,
kind of rot. However, this con
troversy between the two papers
seems to have developed into q
personal matter between the
editors. The readers of the
Courier do not pay for the paper
to read about personal grievances
of the editor, therefore we pro-
pose to let the Sentinel continue
the quarrel alone if it wants to.
and if the readers of that paper
enjoy that kind of reading matter
they are welcome to it. The con-
tinuance of this quarrel without
any reason at all is silly and
ridiculous.

I'd to take their place have been

ed to take their place have been
enacted.
A more curious condition arises,
however, from the adoption Of the
referendum ct the same election
ut which the dispensary amend
ment was adopted. It is con-
tended that the dispensary pro-
position, while legally adopted,
is really very unpopular, the
reason for its adoption being that
practically all who favored it
voted for it, while many who do
not approve of it failed to vote on
the question at all. 1t is now
suggested that the legislature
enact the law. as directed and
that it then be submitted to the
recently adopted referendum.
All that is necessary to accom-
plish this is that five per cent. of
the voters of the state petition
the legislature that the law be
submitted to a vote of the people.
and it must be done. Another
complication will be introduced
here by question being raised
as to the status of the dispensary
law with reference to the refer
endum. 1t may be held that the
dispensary law, being enacted in
compliance with the require
ments of a constitutional amend.
ment, is not properly subject to
the operations of the referen-
dun. Altogether. the legal
lights of Sou6h Dakota are likely
to have some interesting pro
blems to solve during to next
year or two.

Editor w. A. Stickley, of the
Wells County News, seems to be
the popular choice of the news
paper fraternity of North Dakota
for the position of secretary of
the railroad commission, and the
Courier heartily endorses Mr..
Stickley for the position. The
newspapers have done a great
deal towards electing the rail-
roads commissioners, and none
have worked more faithfully
than Mr.. Stickley, and that is
not all, he is competent to dis
charge the duties of the Office.
The Courier would urge the new
board to appoint painstaking,
hard working and deserving
editor to that position, and re-
commend Mr.. Stickley as the
man.

AS a vote getter Gov. Devine
takes the cake. His majority for
leutenaut-governor is eleven
thousand. Mr.. Devine has
talked in nearly every town in the
state, and he is we'll known
hence his popularity. The La
Moure Chronicle says that if a
United States senator was to be
elected by a popular vote that
Mr.. Devine would win out hands
down.

One of the biggest wrongs
ever inflicted on the newspapers
is the law allowing only half
rates for publishing insurance
statements, These statements
occupy from one-half to two
thirds of a column space, are set
up in fine type and yet the news
papers are hardly paid for the
price of composition, the poorest
pay for any legal work done.
The newspaper boys should look
after this matter and make these
outside insurance companies pay
legal rates same as any other
person.
