REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The republican state convention Eat
Grand Forks completed its work on
Wednesday afternoon. The attendance
was very full and the proceedings OF
much interest. The ticket nominated
is full of surprises, but Utmost cases the
candidates nominated are men of excel
lent character and ability. AS usual the
ticket was made by a combine. e. There
were several of these combines made in
the interests of various candidates, and
two or three times it was thought that
the ticket was 'ixed" but either the
combines broke, or new ones were made
to be also broken. The winning COM
bine was made by the Missouai "slope"
and Devils Lake district. While the
PIONEER EXPRESS has no complaints
as to the combination, yet we think the
winning combination might have
strengthened the ticket by using little
more political sagacity and policy. ;The
greatest surprise is the turning down of
Mr.. Spalding, who went into the con-
vention without an opponent, and as al
most everybody supposed, practically
elected. The turning down of Mr..
Spalding was unnecessary even to the
success Of the combine, and his defeat
will undoubtedly be great dissapoint-
ment to many republicans, and this with
no disparagement to his successor, Mr..
T. F. Marshall of Oakes.
Most of the other errors were of the
minor sort, and will be forgotten in the
coming campaign, except that the Red
River Valley is without candidate: but
for one or two minor Offices, will necess-
arily prove drawback, and create a
lack of enthusiasm in that part of North
Dakota where political battles are largely
lost or won. The success of the ticket
is assured, and it will be triumphantly
elected in November, Notwithstanding
some dissapointments. The errors are
personal, but party and party principles
are what we vote for, and are far greater
than persons.

w. ]. Bryan and Adlai Stevenson were
put in nomination at the Democratic
Convention at Kansas City last week.
The platform was adopted in detail as
prepared several days before the conven-
ton met. There was considerable strug-
gle as to who should be Bryan's running
mate. 1t is claimed the ticket and plat
form were promulgated under direct or
ders of Mr.. Bryan, and he alone is re-
sponsible for the discord. It was evid-
entity the intention to annalgamate the
two factions of the party.
Bryan and Stevenson's defeat is con-
ceded by nearly every leading supporter
of the fusion parties, who openly express
themselves to that effect. The silver is

The following are expressions of lead
ing silver republicans, after the Kansas
City convention last week:

The confession of State Treasurer
Driscoll in Mondays Forum, is rather
peculiar in the light of past events. In it
he states that Jud LaMoure never spoke
to him about the railroad assessment be-
fore the meeting of the state board of
equalization. Ifthat is true, past asser-
tons and charges against LaMoure in
this connection would seem very much
out Of place if they came from Driscoll.-

OFFICIAL FIGURES.

The following official statement con-

for the years ending June 80, 1895, and
1899. is Instructive:

scbool hecause the teachers refuse To re
ceiye them stark naked. as they present
themselves.
Thirty thousand naked women as q
result of American occupancy is not
a very creditable record to enter into
history, and all for the benefit of spe-
cial trusts which the administration
now seeks to favor. Too weak to re-
sist the bayonet rule their love for the
United States Is changing into hatred.
As to what class of people are
being thus treated We have the decla-
ration of Governor General G. wv. Da-
Wis, who says:
have given the government the true
facts and have pointed out what / be-
liave To- Toe the only sound policy uree

people of Porto Rico are civilized ana are
more capable than the people of New
Mexico who were given territorial gov
ernment Gftv years ago.

prompted by humanity as well as right.
ON its success depends the future good

tween any two British shipyards.
The first cost of ships is not only not
a prime factor, but it is not even a
serious factor in any competition that
may occur between this country and
Great Britain for a share of the trafllc
of the ocean"
Commenting on this, The New York
Journal of Commerce says that in the
eight years that have elapsed since Mr..
Cramps statement was written, the
ability of this country to compete with
England has increased. Our contem-
porary calls attention to the fact that
in the last calendar year we exported
seven times as much iron and steel as
we imported, and in the fiscal year 1892
the imports and exports Of iron and
steel were practically the same. Mean
while, since then we have increased our
ship-building plants, and according to
data collected by the commissioner of
navigation. the cost of building first
class steampship in American yards has
been reduced 20 per cent.
Consequently, if what Mr.. Cramp first
stated is correct, we can now build
ships more economically than England.
If his last statement is true, we can
build ships just as cheaply as Great
Britain,

A Rround Price for Cotton.

New York Commercial: Now l. a Eoo- time
for the cotton planter TO assert his indie
pendence. Europe is short on cotton. An anna
teur operator could see that with half an eve
our contemporary calls attention to the fact
that tremendous effort was recently made
by Wall street firm 10 run down the Price
of cotton by sending bear kilograms over the
country This was due the fact that il had
received an order from abroad to purchase
$4,000 bales at the lowest price possible The
firm had been bulling the market but this
large order caused il to turn a s0mersault Its
kilograms had no effect, and l. was finally
obliged to pay pretty round sum for the cot
ton. by purchasing this side instead of in
the Liverpool market. foreign spinners have
been able to keep the price down 10 a lower
level than the situation justifies; but they will
have to pay for the maneuver in the end.
We agree with The Atlanta Constitution that
before the summer is over foreign spinners
will have to pay round price for the staple
if they expect to keep their mills running.
If the domestic buyer and the southern grow
er Will stand together cents is certainly the
minimum estimate for the price OF next years
crop. Advance sales. such have been sux.
gested, would prevent the rush to market early
next fall, and would place Europe absolutely
at this countrys mercy.

The Cause of Delay.

Senator Racon's exposure OF the re-
publican plan 20 delay consideration of
the Porto Riean measure tears the
veil away from the whole scheme liav-
Ing. by its vicious lack OF action, left
business affairs in Porto Rico to the
slow process Of decay. and having CIV
en- the trusting people of that island
over 10 condition worse lhan any eX-
uprience they ever had under Spanish
rule. the republican administration now
points 10 this dearth of business and
its unhappy results as the main reason
for imposing upon the island the bur-
den Of unconstitutional taxation.
Some of the prominent men of the
island. prompted by suggestions from
republican sources. and urged by the
really desperate condition of the in
habitanys. have been organizing mass
meetings. praying TO congress to do
something. anything. and TO do il
quickly. When reports of these meet
ings and their urgent resolutions reach
Washington. the republicans say 10 the
democrats, You see. il is just as we
told YOU. The Porto R.cans do not
object 10 these tariff taxes; why should
you embitter their condition by Gre
ating objections and causing delay?''
As one newspaper says. "the very
misery of the Porto Ricans is now
urged as a reason for depressing them. .
The fact that the inhabitants are IN
such straits that they will accept any
sort Of legislation. no matter how un-
Just or burdensOme. as a working
basis. is a great tribute to the repub-
lican craftsmanship which has not
moved hand toward giving the Porto
Ricans the benefits of their allegiance
10 this government. The rule OF
Spain was oppressive. but compared
with the results that have followed
American rule under republican au-
spices. Spanish rule was the very es-
sence Of benevolence.
II is no wonder that the plain people
OF this county are opening their eyes
10 the wicked and dangerous folly oi
the republican programme. II is said
that the republicans will have cam
raign fund Of S30.G0e.0on. They Will
need forty times as much if they pro-

Now for REGISTRATION!

II response tn an inquiry. Chairman
=. q. duBignOn. ~ the state demo-
cratic executive committee. announces
that he will not recOnvene the commit
tee for the purpose Of making any
changes in the registration regulations
fixed by il for the primary Of May lStn.
The chairman is right. for the CON-
mittee discussed the matter IN full de-
tail. and il is presumed that il knew
what il was about when it ordered that
only those who are registered this year
shall par tcipate in the primary of May
18th. If recOnvened. il would simply
reaffirm its action. hence there is no
necessity for another meeting.
The fact must be kept in mind that
anybody can register whose taxes for
1929 have been paid. and all who have
not already paid their last years TAX
eS are now defaulters- They have,
however. from now until May 5th to
qualify themselves. and the law gives
them every facility for so doing.
In Fulton county the registration has
already exceeded 6.n0l-an unprecedent-
edly large number. and this even be-
fore the primary was called. In other
counties registration has been simi-
larly active and now that the primary
has been called. the response will he 50

Mr.. Cramp and the Deadly Parallel.

Occasionally. some of the brethren
are brought to judgment. This hap
pened TO Mr.. Cramp. the ship builder.
Recently Mr.. Cramp stated that it costs
I5 TO % per cent more to build ship
i'm this country than it does in Eng
land.
The Philadelphia Ledger quotes this
statement, and then draws the deadly
parallel on Mr.. Cramp by placing
alongside it an extract from an article
which the ship builder contributed to
The North American Review eight
years ago. The question was asked
him. Can you build a ship to do the
work OF the City of New York, or the
Majestic. or the Columbia. in all re-
spects. for the same cost"

Rome, Ga, Free Press: Some two or three
years ago report went the rounds of the
papers Of the state that the old-time blue
birds had left Georgia for good: that none of
them had been seen for long while. and
that It was supposed that they had been
driven out by the English sparrow. How
much there was in this report may, perbaps
never be known. but bluebrds are certainly
here in great numbers this spring. and are
making the fields merry with their old-time
tunes. The robins have also come in great
numbers and their happy no'es -om wood and
