II. E. Dorval the accommodating
occupant Of the county judges office is
one of the best vote getters the party
has got People who go to his office on
business always find him at his post of
duty, ready and willing to wait on them
His office is one OF the most important
and far reaching of any on the ticket.
1t should at all times be filed by one
who is careful and conservative
Judge Dorval is a man OF the people and
will be reelected by a vote OF large
majority OF the people this fall.
In their convention of last week the
Independent and Democrat party did
we'll in nominating such clean and cap
able men as Alex. F. Stewart and
Gustav Bracke as their candidates for
the legislative ticket from this county
Both are able men and held in high
esteem all over the county. They have
been here since the early days and have
the advantage of being generally we'll
known. The voters Of the Eighteenth
Legislative District will have able re-
representatives. in the lower house at the
next session in the election of these two
gentlemen,
The east and west portions of the
county both have representation of a
substantial kind on the ticket nominated
at the convention held last week by the
Independent and Democrat party, In
the east the voters should not lose sight
of the fact that II. j. Goff, always a
staunch democrat and at present county
commissioner from the Olga district, is
the party nominee for county treasurer.
The western part of the county was
looked after by placing on the ticket
Archie Sillers, Jr., forsheriff. His choice
was unanimous and the people of
Cavalier county can find no better man
for the office. These are facts that can
not be overlooked by the voter. that both
the east and west halves of the county
have been given recognition of the ticket
by two of the best Offices within the gift
of the people and two exceptionally good
men have been selected to fill them.
AS county superintendent of public
instruction r. j. Fox appears to have
given very general satisfaction. Then
why change? Let we'll enough alone
This is an office that should not be doled
out as political pap. Isn't that fact?
Prof. N. G. Mcdonald. the nominee was
not at Tuesdays convention, in fact had
a contract for the principalship of the
Tower City, N. D. schools for the eneu-
ing year and presumably has not the
slightest idea that he's running. Doubt
less if here it would be Prof MeDonald's
desire to add his vote to the others cast
for Supt. Fox on Nov. 9Th and thus make
his election unanimous.

The republican county convention OF
Tuesday was one Of the most amusing
comedies of the season at staged at the
court house under the title of 1.-THE
Slaughter of the Innooents.''
The audience numbered four times ae
many as did the delegates in attendance
and enjoyed the fun from beginning to
end. The star performers we're Hon. P.
McHugh, Senator Laidlaw and Banker
G. B. Mcmillan. In addition to these
there were a few others in the cast who
deserve especial mention, among the
number being Editor Shepherd, Jas. Nc

arranged plan of the slate makers.
Every thing else followed in the order
laid down as though creased for the
occasion. The work of the committees
was dispatched in such hurry that
some not 'posted" thought there was
work enough in sight to make it hard
shedding to get the ticket through by
midnight. There were several orators
there of the camp meeting brand, but
they never got chance to spell, for as
soon as the permanent organization had
been effected the nominations went
through at railroad speed. The Senator
and County Committeeman we're chief
movers. every motion having their
authorship or .. k. and with the aid a
corps of able seconders had the entire
legislative, county and commissioner

vote of the convention in less than
twenty minutes. Things rolled along
so glibly that the chair never for q
moment considered it necessary to call
for vote Of the nayes, who were doubt
less convinced at the outset that they
wouldn't be given showing anyway,
Less than an hour and half suficed to

Another item in last weeks Republi-
can which shows that the editor is work
ing overtime these days is that in which a
feeble attempt is made toshow that Uncle
Dan has club spot up his sleeve, which
he would much like to hold over the
DEMOCRAT in this campaign, through
his mouthpiece and oracle the Republi-
can. It is an old story with whiskers on
it about supposed favor shown in times
gone by and is about as flat thing as
was ever heard of. The DEMOCRAT is
under no obligation to Dan in any sense,
and whatever may have existed in the
past has been remunernated at least
double IN return, and it might be added
to the rightful party at the time. What
has business got to dowlth politics
anyhow?

THE SOCIAL SIDE.
An Enviable Record in Good Deeds Made
by the Woman's Club.

The ladies of the Langdon Woman's
Club have handed in the following ill.,
teresting report of their work and tinanci-
al condition for the year which ended on
the 18th of the present month. The re-
port of the retiring secretary, Mrs. I. Nc
Gruer, states that the Club has member
ship of %, the average attendance at
meetings during the year having been
u. Meetings during the year have been
held at the homes of the members and
devoted principally to the study of such
! countries as England, Scotland, America
and Ireland. Eight prominent authors
OF the day have come in for a share of
attention during the year and at num-
ber of meetings excellent demonstrations
and valuable papers on "Household
Economics have been taken up. This
year the kindergarten had to be closed
F! owing to illness among the children. A
new feature which has by necessity made
itself part of the work of the Club has
been the securing of nurse for the sick
and the helping Of those in need as the
opportunity offered. The report states
that the Club has strong hopes of being
able to start a library in the near future,
having already gathered together some
twenty odd volumes, many of which have
been donated by friends. The report of
the treasurer shows that the year was
begun with aD Item Of $3.50 cash on
hand, which was augmented by dues,
entertainments etc, during the year to
the amount of s140.92. Only something
like $1.92 OF this now remains in the
treasury at the present time. the whole
amount, with the exception of perhaps
$lo, having been expended in the main
tainance of the Kindergarten, charities
and the nursing of the sick.

1t the EepuOllcan editor should form

Now that the republican county con-
vention Is thing of the past and most
everything is in plain sight politics will
attract more general attention.
Mud, principally mud, was what the
Republican unloaded last week. Coming
as it does from political scape goat it
should be treated with silent contempt.
Milton has started Mckinley club,
but its roster of officers shows that its
membership gathering area is limited
only by the south and eastern bordering
county lines.
The Republican, attempt last week
to whitewash itself was pretty poor,
as indicated it's line OF argument-prin-
cipally mud. Instead OF fooling the
readers by such trash he is only fooling
himself.

suit our contemporary across the street,

mad rush for political nortorlety he

This question will naturally present
itself to local republicans, "What
influence, if any can the Cavalier Go. Re-
publican be expected to weld. under it's
present management, in the political
affairs of that party in this county?"
The tone of the Republican underwent
considerable of change last week and
demonstrated that it's powers of i'm
agination and vituperation are somewhat
stronger than it's knowledge of matters
politically. Yes, the worm has turned.
Wrong Mr.. Republican, try agai n. or

That worn out old chestnut of the Re-
publican's last week about 'heads" ought
to be taken to the barber shop and have
the whiskers shaved off. The topic ap-
pears to be special hobby of the Republi-
cans When it comes to the class of
craniums known as sap heads it will find
most perfectly formed specimen within
the privacy of it's own sanctum. 1t would
be as reasonable to expect spike to take
hold in rotten log as to attempt to
pound rational idea into the upper
story of the Republican.
The Republican is doing good work for
the party-democrati party of course.
Last week it devoted upwards of two
columns of space to issues that at one
time it's editor was credited with know
ing something about, although an opinion
from his present standpoint outs but
little if any figure. The Republican is
sore, very sore-all because the DEMO

the preliminary arrangements made, when
1t was found that the Electric Railway
was not willing to put down such new
rails as the city engineer thought nee
essaiy. The city sought by mandamus to
compel the laying of the rails. The ooun-
sci for the railroad opposed the issuing
Of the mandamus, and Judge Nicol, Of
the Circuit Court, having decided that
the city had the power to compel the
work, an appeal was taken and the matter
has remained in allegiance until yesterday,
when the Court Of Appeals affirmed the
decision of Judge Nicol and left the city
free to require the railroad to lay the
proposed rail- 1t is understood now that
the long-delayed work will be started in
a short time, and Alexandria make one
step, at least, toward the improvement
of the streets in modern style. The mat

NEW YORK, June 15.-The jury in the

worth of jewelry seized from Mrs. Phyllis
e. Dodge by customs officials when she
landed here from the steamship st. Paul
year ago, retired at Ii o'clock this morn
ing. In half an hour they returned YER
dict in favor of Mrs. Dodge
Assistant District Attorney King moved
for new trial. The motion was denied
Then he moved for a stay of sixty days
in which to prepare for an appeal. This
was granted.
The case was opened this morning by a
formal motion made by Assistant District
Attorney Baldwin for verdict on three
counts in the information and waving the
one alleging fraudulent intent The motion
was denied by Judge Brown. W. Wickham
Smith, for the defence, moved for a YER
dict for Mrs. Dodge. This also was de-
MED. Judge Brown then charged the jury.
He pointed out that If it had been intended
to sell the jewelry, those responsible
would not have taken the course that was
taken in this case. He said there had
been testimony to show that one OF Mrs.
Dodge's weaknesses was a fondness for
jewels.
The verdict only afIirms the contention
of the defence that Mrs. Dodge did not
attempt to smuggle the jewels into this
country. The question of duty to be paid
on them will come up in separate action.
