SID ]. BOWIE WILL
 BE A CANDIDATE
Has Decided to Stand for Con-
 gresSionaI Nomination.
IS so STATED BY A FRIEND
Hon. R. P. Thomson of Oxford Talks Situation in the Fourth District. Nomination Will be Made
 in Early Fall

Hon. R. P. Thomson of Oxford was in the city yesterday on business. MT. Thomson has been frequently mentioned recently in connection with the race for Congress in the Fourth District, but he stated to an Age-Herald reporter yester day that he would not be a candidate. He said that he had met with considerable en- couragement since the first announcement of his name in that connection, but that he did not care to go into the contest this year.
 MT. Thomson further stated that Syd ney J. Bowie had finally decided to enter the race. This decision was reached by Mir Bowie Wednesday night after a con- ference with a number of his friends. He has been urged to enter the race by a friends and only yielded to their demands after mature deliberations
 The announcement of MT. Bowies can- didacy probably completes the list of en- tries in the Congressional race in the Fourth There are now five candidates for the Democratic nomination, three from Calhoun and two from Dallas. Those from Calhoun are Sydney J. Bowie, Joseph II. King and Dr. B. Dudley Williams, and from Dallas, Gaston A. Robbins and John F. Burns. Joseph B. Graham of Talladega, whose name has frequently been mention ed in connection with the Congressional race has finally declined to be a candi- date.
 Of the five candidates above named all but MT. Bowie have held political office and all are well known over the state. MT. Robbins has been elected to Congress from the Fourth District twice and both times displaced by the Republican major 1ty in the House of Representatives; MT. Burns has been a member of the State Legislature one term; MT King and Dr. Williams were appointees of President in all probability a lively one, as each of the candidates has a large following of personal and political friends in the dis trict
 convention will be held some time in August or September to nominate a can didate, the action of the Executive Com mittee in ordering a general primary hay ing been revoked by the State Committee at the meeting held in this city last Fri day. The District Executive Committee was instructed by the State Committee to order the selection of delegates to a Con gressional convention to be held not later than August S. The counties will select delegates in such manner as the commit tees of the respective counties may direct.

 He was a man of strong personality and integrity and was popular with all who knew him. The remains will be shipped to Helena this morning. where the inter- ment will take place today.

STATE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republicans Of North Dakota in
convention assembled reaffirm the prin-
ciples Of the platform Of the republican
national convention held at Philadelphia
in June, 1900.
The present happy and prosperous con-
dition Of the American people Is the result
Of the wise administration Of the ,repub,,
lican party and the enactment into law Of
the more important principles of the plat
form Of 1896.
-Four years of democratic rule had para
lyzedl the industries Of the country, rem
ished labor, unsettled all monetary values
and practically bankrupted the United
States treasury. Ina time of profound
peace a democratic administration was
forced To sell government bonds to pay the
necessary and current expenses of the gov
eminent. Under the wise, business-like
and patriotic administration Of President
Mckinley these conditions have all been
changed. All branches of industry remain
active and successful; agricultural interests
more prosperous and labor more generally
and continuously employed and better paid
values have been fixed and settled and In
the treasury Of the United States, Instead
of a deficit. one Of the marked features of
a democratic administration, we find a
revenue adequate to meet all the demands
OF the government.
We favor such legislation as will de-
stroy all unlawful combinations Of capital
formed for the purpose Of limiting produc;
1 " CuT1 LAG ~
productss All aggregations Of capital
formed for this. purpose are detrimental to
the best interests of trade and hostile to
the laboring people.
The Spanish-American war was de
clared In obedience to the universal de-
nlands under a republican administration
and the splendid achievements OF our sol
dlers and sailors in that war formed some
of the brightest pages in American history.
Cuba has been made free from Spanish
misrule and a stable government es-
tablished there. Porto Rico and the Philip
pine Islands have become possessions OF
the United States as the Inevitable and
unavoidable results of that war, and we
compliment the North Dakota volunteers
upon their splendid record in both the
Cuban and Philippine wars.
We congratulate the people Of the coun.
try upon the enactment into law of the
currency bill, which provides the gold
standard as the monetary unit Of value
Financial discussions no longer disturb the
business conditions of our people and al
business transactions have been placed or
a basis that insures protection to capita
and encouragement to the employment Of
labor.
We are heartily In accord with the policy
Of the national administration toward oul
newly acquired possessions.
We favor the present prohibition law
and a faithful enforcement Of the same q.
well as all other laws of the safe, especi
ally those In the penal q criminal code!
and their strict and impartial enforcement
In all parts of the state at all times.
