DAVIS A CANDIDATE.

Will Seek the Nomination for Governor on
the Democratic Ticket.
w. E. Davis, who gained an enviable
reputation as IN editorial writer on the
Plaindealer and later has come to the
front amid the commercial travellers of
the state, is out for the democratic
nomination for governor. Mr., Davis
was in Langdon on Monday of this week
and though his trip up the line was
partly business one, he stated in an
interview with the DEMOCRAT that he
was real candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor. His position
on the issues of the days and ideas of
what the party's state campaign should
be are outlined briefly as follows:
II am candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor, and I am in
the race to WIN. am not an advocate
of fusion. [ believe that fusion has been
q detriment to the democratic organlza-
tions in this state, and that all true
democrats should endeavor to correct
the mistakes that have been made as
result of that policy as soon as possible.
There Is no better time to begin than
right now. Fueion can be consistently
associated with principle but rarely. 1t
has simply been regarded as short
road to Office. You cannot gain or re-
tain the confidence of the people on that
kind of basis. The democrats OF North
Dakota must shake loose from the fusion
cobwebs, and believe that the majority
of the party in this state favor straight
ticket.
1.-THE issues of the coming campaign
are yet to be specifically defined, and on
the declaration of the national conven-
ton, much of our chance of success in
this state will depend. While SILVER is
far from being live issue, 1t is not a
dead one. It will undoubtedly have a
place in the democratic platform, but I
do not favor making it q leader. I favor
strong antitrust plank and free trade
with Porto Rico. Only when complete
order has been restored in the Philip
pines, should American military control
cease. Then give the natives an
opportunity to govern themselves. I
am for trade expansion, and expansion
in territory only so far as it is necessary
to father and protect our policy of trade
expansion.
"The republicans are decidedly con.
fident of success this year, at the present
time. But no one can tell what few
months may bring forth, what events
may occur, and what new turn public
opinion is liable to take. The democrats
of this state should perfect their organ
ization early, and prepare to make their
fight on principle instead of relying
| simply on a coalition with the Pops"

The passage of the Porto Rican
bill, which has result

is the vaciliating policy of Presi-
lent Mckinley. Had the presl-
lent insisted on the free trade
contained in his

States and Porto Rico. The

OUR EX-PRESIDENTS.

OUR EA-PRESlDENIS
Time was when good Ameri-
cans who he'd nothing else to
worry about bothered their heads
with the problem, "What shall we
do with our ex-presidents?" To
be sure we have not been troubled
with a jam of ex-presidents in
recent years. We have not had
more than two at time for forty
years past and such as we have
seen listed have taken care of
themselves fairly we'll. At this
writing the only gentlemen in the
ex-president business are Cleve-
land and Harrison. Mr.. Cleve-
land has an income and the choice
of two avocations. He can shoot
ducks or lecture at Princeton.
He lives in genteel retirement
with his interesting family, re-
spected by all, and when rheu.
matism attacks him sympathetic
twinge is telegraphed to every
hamlet.
Mr.. Harrison is practicing law
with offices at Indianapolis with
crowned heads for clients. He
never goes to the police station
looking for what the arresting
officer and the desk sergeant may
have failed to shake out of
the raiment appertaining to the
Grant citizen restrained of his
liberty. His cable address is on
file in the courts of Europe and
the dynasties of the orient are
liable to ring him up at any
moment. He has international
law on tap at a dollar drop and
In his game of law openers must
be kings or better. That particu-
lar ex-president is doing beauti-
fully, with an income about twice
that of an active president and
much more time to devote to his
family.
Certain patriots have been
worrying recently over Mr.. Nc
Kinley's possible fate after he has
ceased to be the nations servant.
We venture the opinion, he will
find lucrative employment if he
needs it. The law firm to which
Mr.. Reed is attached may not
take him in and it is not likely
that Mr.. Harrison wants a partner,
but there are other law firms, and
colleges just as great as Princeton
may esteem an honor to have an
ex-president in the faculty. Let
us not grow nervous over our OK.
presidents, present and prospect
i've. They are sure to take care
of themselves. If we must worry
at all let us worry about those of
us who never have been and never
will be presidents or ex-presldents.

AN OBJECT LESSON.


A physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number Of
hearty, vigorous old mea at the tables;
men whose ages run from sixty to eighty
years; many OF them bald and all perhaps
grey, but none Of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to
have escaped your observation or comment,
but nevertheless it is an object lesson
which means something.
II you will notice what these hearty old
fellows are eating you will observe that they
are not munching bran crackers nor gin
gerly picking their way through a menu
card OF new-fangled health foods: on the
contrary, they seem TO prefer Juicy roast
OF beef, a properly turned loin of mutton.
and even the deadly broiled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
The point OF all this is that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty Of wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavoT 10 live upon bran
crackers.
There is n certain class OF food cranks
who seen to believe that meat. coffee, and
many other good things are rank poisons,
but these cadaverous, sickly looking indi-
viduals are a walking condemnation OF
their own theories.
The matter in nutshell Is that II the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
Juices in sufficient quantity any wholesome
food will be promptly digested; IL the stom-
ach does not do so. and certain foods cause
distress, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal VIII remove all
difficulty because they supply Just what
every weak stomach lacks. pepsin, hydro
chloric acid. diastase. and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels. and, in fact, are not
strictly a medicine. as they act somewhat
entirely upon the food eaten, digesting IL
and thus gives much needed
rest, and giving an appetite for the next
meal.
OF people who travel, nine out OF ten use
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them
to be perfectly safe to use at any time, and
also having found out by experience that
they are a safeguard against indigestion in
any form. and eating. as they have TO, ut
all hours and all kinds OF food. the travel
ing public for years have pinned their
faith to Stuart's Tablets.

Yesterdays stock market was an inter-
esting, and perhaps important. one. At
times prices tumbled badly nearly all over
the list, but it Is probable that the total
of the days business was fairly satisfactory
10 the friends Of higher prices. There was
a vicious drive at Sugar, and at the same
time heavy short selling of many other
securities, but at the close large part OF
the list showed net gains for the day.
Strong support was given in the standard
issues generally, but especially in the Bal
timore and Ohio securities, New York Gen.
trial, the Pacifcs, and the grangers. The
opening of the session was at a higher
range OF prices, on account of good ad-
vance in the international list In the Lon
don market. On the other side a generally
better feeling seemed 10 prevail as 10 the
British-Boer war, and the international
complications that have threatened as its
outcome. Prices of American securities
were advanced half point on the average.
In the New York market this better feeling
was directly reflected. During the early
part OF the day there was dizziness and a
slight decline from the high opening. with
little except professional business apparent
II was generally the impression that the
day would be uninteresting and like the
others this week. The bears, however, were
more aggressive than on Tuesday, and the
reason Of this became apparent when Mr.
Havemeyer'B report at the annual meeting
of the Sugar Company was made known.
He discussed the question OF a reduction
or the passing of the dividend on Sugar,
and TO a certain extent recommended such
action. This report caused n violent slump
