OUT TO DO JOHNSON.
North Dakota Politicians After the
Veterans Scalp.

A number of North Dakota politicians ar
rived in town yesterday and proceeded 20
rest after the work of the campaign. II Is
probable that there VIII be plenty Of them
here In the course OF the next week. as the
time is ripe 70 dispose Of NJ N johnson
and his chances forathes United States senate
One Of the most prominent men In the state
who talked only on condition that his name
should not be used, had something to say
about the coming senatorial fight.
johnson is out OF IT, he said. I'VE have
his hide on the fence already, and the one
element that could not be reckoned with in
our politics IS disposed or. The Norwegian
congressman has not only been beaten out OF
a possible majority IN the legislature but he
has been put out OF the fight entirely by
being beaten IN his own county. He opposed
Haas, Democrat, IN his own county OF Mel
son. The entire Republican county ticket
was elected but Johnson had only made a
fight against Haas. and the people Just went
IN and elected him. Johnson claims that he
has twenty-three members of the legislature
pledged 10 him. If he has he will never get
a chance to make It twenty-four, and his de-
feat Is absolutely assured.
"We have never had an opportunity 70
land him before. After the first safe cleo
ton, when he failed OF the nomination for
congress- he and his bro her organized the
Norwegian Union. and he has maintained il
ever since. He has been three times elected
to congress by the use Of It, and now that
he has given up running at large and gone
into the state with idea OF getting the
legislature a step TO the senate, we have
the opportunity we hsve been looking for
There Is not Democrat In the state who Is
not bitterly opposed TO Johnson, and II IL
were necessary they could be depended on tn
vote for any Republican TO beat him II
North Dakota did nothing else that was sat
isfactory. II got rid OF Johnson, and Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike are TO be n
graduated ."

where conscience Is more needed where
stalwart and heroic conscience Is more abb
solutely essential. Men talk Of the incon-

are laws for the regulation Of our conduct as
citizens. laws which look to the moral health

they meanf What are they worth? They
are useless and worse than useless for
the reason that there is no conscience be-

clares that law that is unpopular may be
