Editor Tuttle of the Mandan Pioneer,
who has been booming the Ignite coal in
dustry for many years, has experienced a
change of heart and is now bitter in his
denunciation of the coal barons, as he
terms those who are in. charge of the coal
industry west of the Missouri river. Mr..
Tuttle says the bafons were fully aware OF
the fact that there would be great de-
mand for their product this winter and
that they lacked the foresight and business
ability to provide additional labor and
facilities for supplying their customers.
There has been a shortage Of Ignite in
Mandan heretofore unknown. The coal
people say they have used their best efforts
to supply the increased demand, but that
ers, VINO have heretofore supplied large
part Of the fuel, have had excellent crops
this year and are now busy hauling wheat
and; flax instead of coal They further
assert that Mandan3 is receiving its fai,
proportion Of ,the.tteoar shipped and that
it has been Impossible to supply all de-
mands promptly on account of a shortage

A gentleman who: lis we'll informed on
the local politics of Richland county says
tnat@ the impression which has gone out
!hat the republican, legislative candidates
IN that county who were defeated were
Tor M. N. Johnson for United tSates SEN
ator Is erroneous. They were pledged to
Hansnrough and would have; voted for
MIN mad they been elected: The only
exception was Emil Movius Of Lidger-
WOOD, VINO got a place on the ticket de-
spite the wishes Of Senator McCumber
and who is regarded as a friend Of Judge
Lauder Mr. Movius was the only repub-
mean legislative candidate in the two dis
trlcts who was elected. He, was a candi-
ha-
senator, but in "a compromise gave way
70 colonel .Hankfnson. The republicans
VINO We're. defeated were McCumber' 8
friends, and were pledged BY the latter
to support Hansbrough. -
The republicans in Burleigh- county are
beginning to discover what happened to
them and who did 1t in the recent cleo
tlon The defeat Of the legislative ticket
is openly charged to Alex Mckenzie and
Senator Hansbrough. Mckenzie was on
the ground In person and Senator Little
! ana MS friends had such confidence in his
friendship that they had no hesitancy in
revealing to him the innermost secrets
or their campaign They now allege that
the information was used against them.
Register McGillivray and Receiver Sat
terland of the Bismarck land office, both
OF Whom are seeking reappointment and
Ed patterson, whose wife is postmistress
| were opposed openly to the republican
ticket. and this is taken as a proof that
senator Hansbrough was encouraging the
| opposition.
Attention has been called to the fact
that the constitution prohibits the gov
ernor from accepting any other office dur
ing the term for which he was elected.
Ihls is used as an argument against Gov
efnor White, who is a candidate for
United States senator. The constitution
has similar clause in reference to the
judges, and this is used against Judge
CoWan, VINO is also a senatorial candidate.
These arguments may cut some figure
with the members of the legislature, but
| as a matter of fact the constitutional pro-
vlso would not prevent either Governor
| White of Judge Cowan from qualifying as
United States senator in case one or the
other should be selected. The senate is
the sole judge. of the qualifications of its
members and would undoubtedly seat any
| man who presented certificate of cleo
| ton. In Illinois and Kansas, both OF
which have similar provisos in their con.
stftutions, judges and governors have beer
elected to the senate and no question has
ever been raised as to their eligibility
/ J. c. Adamson, who recently resigned as
! Congressman Marshall's private secretary

clerk of the house. J. D. Seaman, who
held this place two years ago, is a candi
date for re- election. The contest prom.
ises to be a warm one as both are popular
Major Edwards, the portly editor of the
