exceed s9,000,000 in any one year.
There were only two ways by
which this vast sum might be pro-
vided for. The first was to accu-
mulate an enormous surplus from
taxes imposed for Spanish war
expenses. The other was by means
of government loan. Knowing
what All amount Of public indig-
nation would be aroused by the
latter procedure, the former plan
was resorted to. In consequence
the people Of this country are now
paying war taxes, long after the
war is ended and long after the
cost of that war has been provided
for many times over. And Hanna
is laughing in his sleeves at the
prospect of nine million dollars a
year for thirty years, exacted as
tribute from Americen taxpayers.

THEY BEAT CAVALIER
The Two Junior Mines Played an Eleven
Innings Game Tuesday.

Tuesday afternoon the juniors OF
Langdon and Cavalier played a game OF
ball on the local diamond that was as
fine an exhibition OF the national game
as has been seen in Langdon this year.
They have now crossed bats three times
since the season opened and the game OF
Tuesday places two out of the three
games to the credit OF Langdon's Junior
nine. The game lasted nearly two hours
and half, eleven innings being necessary
to break the score OF 9 to 8 a, the close
OF the ninth innings. The Cavalier boys
showed a clear conception OF good ball
by their base running and fielding in the
early part OF the game when they
gathered up a bunch OF five runs before
Langdon had made q score After that
our boys found the sphere and made hits
that Cavalier fielders were unable to pull
down fast enough to prevent the base
runners crossing often enough to elicite
howls from the rooters. The battery
for the home team was Broderick and
McGauvran, in the seventh innings Nc
Neill replacing Broderick in the pitchers
box. Brilliant work in the fielding is
credited up to Rylance and Crawford
who kept the score down on several
occasions by nervy catches in the right
and left garden at critical points in the
game. There's some talk OF the home
boys going over to Cavalier tomorrow,
Friday, for return game. The playing
OF these teams leave no question as to
their being a little the fastest in the way
OF junior base ball aggregations to be
found in The state.

STATE PLATFORM.

We, the democrats of North Dakota,
in convention assembled, hereby renew
our allegiance to those immortal princi-
pies of human rights, enumerated by
Jefferson, defended by jackson and in
theic latest form incorporated in the
democratic platform of 1900. We an
nounce our unqualified approval of every
principle embodied in that platform.
We send greetings to our ideal leaders.
William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska,
and Adlai e. Stevenson, of Illinois, and
pledge them and the principles for which
they stand, the loyal support of North
Dakota in the national election.
The republicans have been IN control
of all branches of our state government
for the past six years, and we challenge
them to defend themselves against the
following charges and specifications:
First-You have recklessly and pro-
figately conducted the business of the
state thereby largely and unnecessarily
increasing the taxes and imposing un-
necessary and unjust burdens upon the
taxpayers.
Second-You have carried upon the
pay roll employees and clerks who have
drawn salaries without rendering service.
Third-You have Disseminated in IA
vor of corporations and against the peo-
pie.
Fourth-Your party has been domi-
mated by machine which has used it for
the promotion of Individual and selfish
interests.
Fifth-You have defeated for renomin-
alton state officers, for the reason that
they endeavored faithfully to carry out
your pledges to the people in relation to
corporations.
Sixth-Recognizlng the truth of the
above charges, the delegates who attend
ed your last state convention failed to
endorse the present state administration,
expressed no regret for it's actions in the
