a splendid testimonial to the integrity
and worth Of his colleague in the lower
house, Congressman Spalding, and
stated that Mr.. Spalding had in his
first session shown himself to be pos
sessed to IN unusual degree of the
qualities of a good congressman.
The Grand Forks Herald comments
thus on the ticket: The success of the
ticket at the polls is scarcely open to
question, and the gentlemen who have
been nominated are to be congratulate
ed, though there would have been
more general satisfaction had the
ticket been constructed under different
auspices.
While there was some talk of sore
ness and knitting, the following wired
the Journal by jerry J from Fargo, is
significant:
with magnificent loyalty to the re-
publican party. both Winship and
Spalding, who were turned down in
yesterdays state convention in Grand
Forks, are today asking their friends
to rally solidly to the support of the
ticket named. In all Fargo Spalding
is perhaps the coolest and most ra-
tional man. He has wired to friends
in many sections of the state and told
his warm friends in this city that the
North Dakota republican majority this
year must be a record-breaker, and
that they must fall into line heartily
and loyalty.
ALREADY he is making plans to go
on the stump whenever the state COM
mittee may send him. He realizes
that his failure to be renominated was
largely his own fault in refusing to
enter the Fancher combination, and
while he was defeated he still believes
that by staying out of the combination
he has done O fer harmony in the
Red river valley than he could have
dOne ny going IN.
/ "Winship, as will be noted by his
utterances in today's Grand Forks Her.
aid, will support the ticket and has no
bitter or unkind words for the men
who defeated him. The influence of
these two men will insure party har-
mony and a rousing majority in No.
vember all down the republican line.
Spalding, if he continues his present
policy, will close the campaign the
most popular man in the party, and
his political future will be safe.
Major Edwards has concluded not
to discuss the ticket editorially in to-
days Fargo Forum, but in conversa-
ton this afternoon he said there would
be no heartburnings or backslidings.
The Spalding men have had time to
think and, inspired by Spalding's ex-
ample, will work as earnestly for the
ticket as if Spalding were part of it.
So with Winship forces. The har-
mony that is brought about is of the
genuine and will be lasting"
The Fargo Argus seems the sorest
regarding the ticket and says: ION
the 18th inst. a full state ticket was
nominated at Grand Forks. The less
said about the ticket the better, for
the soonest mended. 1t will test the
faith and patience of the republicans
of the state. If the ticket is elected
this fall, then any old thing in that line
can be elected"
The Wahpeton Globe takes this
view: "The big valley counties were
left out of the deal because they sat
back in their dignity and refused to
move, so to speak. The combine begged
Congressman Spalding to go with
them but he absolutely refused to do
so and was consequently left out"
The Fargo Call takes similar
grounds to the Argus. The Forum
has 20 far said nothing editorially.
The Jamestown Capital says: Some
very excellent "favorite sons" fell by
the wayside naturally, in a contest
where so many excellent candidates
aspired to the same high office, and the
result is a strong ticket which will
sweep the state to victory this fall.
The Minot Optic says: The COM
bine waited four long hours for the
Cass county delegation to come in, to
the end that Spalding might not be
sacrificed. It WOULD not yield and
something had to be done. Tom Mar
shall of Cakes was easily agreed upon
and the combine was complete. The
ticket is a good one and will be elected
by an overwhelming majority.
