IT is rumored and should be
considered as authentic, coming
as it does from State Superinten-
dent Halland himself, that in case
of Hon. j. M. Devine's election to
the Office of state superintendent,
for which he is a candidate on the
republican ticket, he Halland,
will receive the appointment as
deputy under Devine. That the
latter should desire to introduce
anything having the flavor of q
wood shed" nortoriety into his
campaign is something that even
republicans wonder at.

..Too-MUcH ROOSEVELT

:sToo much Roosevelt" is evil
IDENTIFY the complaint that Boss
Hanna makes of the republican
campaign Of 1900. dating back to
that picturesque scene in the
Philadelphia convention when
Colonel Teddy marched down the
aisle with his soldier-hat on, and
the Roosevelt boom for the Vice
Presidency then and there became
too strong for Hanna to control.
The fact Of the continued Hanna
protest against repeated overdoses
Of Roosevelt is now emphasized
anew by his rejection of the
proposition to organize Roosevelt
rongh rider republican clubs
throughout ell the doubtful states
of the middle and far west. Han
ma fails to see where the great and
good Mckinley comes in on this
deal. 1--WE will have Mckinley
and Roosevelt clubs" says lie,
"but the republican national COM
mittee will not contribute dollar
towards these rough rider clubs"
And that settles it, so far as the
national committees paying for
the Khaki uniforms, tan leggins
and campaign hats is concerned.
1t isn't strange that Hanna bitter
ly resents these instances Of the
tail wagging the dog that have
been so numerous since Roosevelt
reached out and grabbed the Vice
Presidency against his and Mr..
McKinley's desire. It's a good
dog, is Hanna's, and its tail is by
rights but an insignificant detail
of its anatomy. There's sacri-
flee Of its dignity when the Ameri-
can people see that the Mckinley
dog has to wag every time the
Roosevelt tail humps itself. And
so Boss Hanna is anything but
pleased. "Too much Roosevelt"
is the burden of his complaint-in
the privacy of the national COM
mittee headquarters he probably
puts it "too id much Roose-
velt!' if we only knew the truth.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-08-09

IT is surprising how much the
little republican sheets through
out the state know about what
took place in the democratic state
convention! According to some
of them, the populists refused to
fuse except on condition that no
effort should be made to put re-
submission plank in the platform,
and Attorney John Carmody was
obliged to pledge a rigid enforce
ment Of the prohibition law! The
fact is, there was not even hint
of a resubmission plank, and both
Hon. John Burke and Martin
Ryan made strong prohibition
speechs from the rostrum and
we're loudly cheered. IF there
was any talk in favor of a resub-
mission plank it was all outside
the convention, and it was evident
to any observer that such a propo-
sition would have been overwhelm-
ingly voted down. Attorney John
Carmody made no pledges. It
was not necessary. Both conven-
tions wanted him for attorney gen.
eral because they had confidence
that he would enforce the law, and
in November the people will elect
him, for the same reason. He is a
good lawyer, an upright, conseien-
cioas man, and would respect his
oath and enforce the law even if
he did not like it.

M'K1NLEY PROSPERITY.

The failures for May, as COM
piled from Dun's Review, number
947, as compared with 58l last
year and OH in the "calamitous'
year of 1896. The number for
May, 1900, is the largest ever
known in that month since the
records have been kept. The
records for the two succeeding
months have been equally signifi-
cant, as indicating the full mean
ing of the Mckinley prosperity.
President Gary of the Federal
Steel Trust, who certainly has no
motive for incorporating the
facts on that side, said in recent
statement of the iron and steel
industry: "The demand is not
equal to the production, and the
latter should be curtailed until
conditions change" Production
is being curtailed at a rate extreme
ly disastrous to the interests of
workingmen. And this in spite
of the pressure which, it is every
where agreed, is being brought to
bear upon the trust managers by
their friends, Hanna and McKin-
ley, to keep their works open if
possible until after the election.
The trust men are good Hanna
republicans and would be glad to
comply with this campaign re-
quest, but there is a limit even to
the powers Of a trust which has
fattened upon the abnormal pro-
fits of short season of artificial
prosperity. The trust men are
doing the best they can, but the
truth cannot be concealed that the
bottom is out of the Mckinley
prosperity, and the end is near al
hand.

FOR THEM TO. SAY.

One thing more than another
that tends to give significance to
the report that the decisive battle
ground of this falls campaign will
be in the middle states is owing to
the fact that the German-Ameri-
can vote is a factor which both
parties cannot get. The fight of
1900 will be won and lost by cleo
ton results in the states of H.
linois, Michigan, Wisconsin. Min
nesota, Ohio, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Maryland and Delaware.
The first six of these states are
known to contain large German
American vote, in fact it is large
enough to carry those states for
the platform and ticket that the
German-American voters see fit to
support. The stand taken by the
democrats this year on the ques-
ton Of imperialism is one which
will beyond doubt give them
the support which in 1896 these
voters threw to the republican
ticket.
The men of German blood who
now constitute SO large a proper
ton of the population in these
States owe to tie republic their
freedom, their prosperity, their
happiness. They, or their fathers
found in this country haven of
refuge from the Imperialism and
militarism of the Fatherland. The
reason that this grand old re-
public held out it's arms to them
and sheltered and loved and pro-
tected them is because it stands
for freedom, for justice, for the
rights of man. It was founded in
protest against the very sins of
empire from which they emigarat-
ed. Under its glorious creed it
promises that these sins shall
never prevail in this country.
Will it be for the German-Ameri-
cans to make this American
promise impossible of fulflment in
future? Having themselves found
a refuge in this country, shall they
now force it to surrender that
creed which gave them safety from
The tyranny Of Europe? Are they
willing to deny TO others the
shelter and safety so grateful to
them in their time of tribulation?
Knowing the evils Of imperialism
md militarism. will they fastsn
