~ through all the political gossip
following the Alger resignation

1HRoUGH all the political gossip
following the Alger resignation
runs the intimation that the
friends of Vice President Hobart find
themselves under cOmpulsion to be up
and at it. Yet it is not an easy mat
ter to ascertain what motive it is that
prompts some of the people who are
making liberal use Of Mr.. Hobart's
name in some of the talk that reaches
the newspapers.
Almost instantly. upon the announce
ment of General Ayers resignation
the story was that Hobart did it, 1t is
not clear whether this report was put
out with sinister intention or in good
faith. Some of the republican news
papers pointed with pride" to this
manifestation of Mr.. Hobart's tact
they reminded their readers that the
vice president is no dummy and that,
IF the truth were known, he has been
doing a good many clever things, all
this time. that reflect his true great
ness as a man and a republican.
On the other hand, comment has been
ference on Mr.. Hobart's part in the
administrations muddles is stupid
business on his part; that he had no
call to get into the controversy; that
he made a gratuitous fight and in the
end will get no credit for it in the
books and accounts of Mark Hanna,
and that he simply permitted himself
to be used. The interesting feature of
all this talk is that it is running paral-
lei with the demand, suddenly sprung
in some republican newspapers of in
f1uence, that next years campaign
exigencies will demand a man with a
military record as the running mate for
Mr.. Mckinley.
OF course, these organs always have
Governor Roosevelt to turn to. They
have never seriously regarded him as
available, next year, for first place on
the ticket, but they profess that he is
simply ideal for second place These
newspapers evidently are very much in
earnest. 1t is doubtful whether there is
gain or loss for the present incumbent
in the recent talk relating to his activity
In political doings. That Mr.. Hobart very
earnestly Graves another term Is clear
all the talk about his wish to retire
was twaddle: and it also is clear that,
ST he wants next years nomination he
will have to scrap" for it.

Petition to Cancel the Permits OF LaRgdon's S
Druggists DISMISSED To-Day.
This morning at 1890 a. m., Judge
Dorval opened up court for the hearing
of the petition for the cancellation of the
permits of the three Langdon drugstores.
The case against E. l. Donovan's store
was first taken up, j. G. Monnett being
the doctors attorney, the enforcement
league being represented by Attorney
Spring of Grand Forks. At the opening
Attorney Monnett made motion that
the action be dism ssed on the grounds
that the petition did not ask for the can
collation. of the permit. Such being found
correct no grounds we're left for continu-
ing the hearing and Judge Dorval ac-
cordlngIy granted the motion.
