own.
W. A. Laidlaw is now winding up
a four year term and likes the job so
we'll that he may be counted on as the
popular choice OF his party for nomina-
ton again this fall.
Republicans credit up their senator OF
the Eighteenth District with having
carried with Elm the balance OF the legis.
lative ticket and consider his redeeming
political power we'll nigh omnipotent.
But in the last campaign simon pure
politics cut little figure, The trades
made in county and legislative tickets
showing We're the candidate OF one par
ty was given the double GROSS to save
the scalp of u friend.
Henry Mclean made good record in
the last legislature, under the guidance
and experienced coaching OF Ole ANvig,
who sat next to him in the house. He
trains with the crowd that gave Laid
law his seat and will probably get an
other nomination..
But Ole Axvlg has been torn away
from his old side partners and under the
re-districting OF the county will have to
struggle with the Milton tigers in the
future. Ole is one the rich men OF the
county and beneath his homely exterior
exists wisdom belied by his appearance
He has served two terms in the lower
house, in 1898 and 1901, and was never
found asleep. He will bein the running
again this year it is announced.
In the Milton district Hon. Chas. W.
Plain, is by all odds the democratic
nestor who will be nominated for sena'
tor. He has served we'll in both houses
OF the legislature, and can talk German,
French. Icelandir, Irish and Norsk to
his people, and make laws in all these
languages. John Mcbride aud u French
man from the East side are to be his
running mates.
Among the democrats in the Langdon
district several good men have been
mentioned for the senate. among them
being H. D. ALERT, Fred Mclean, w. j.
Mooney and J. B. Boyd. Attorney Jos
Cleary may be put in training for the
10 yer house to timber him up for thu
race against Judge Kneeshaw OF the dis
trict bench two years hence. or he may
be given the democratic nomination for
attorney general when the time comes
being an old timer and known all over
the state, possessing many friends.

The appointment by President
Roosevelt of three commissioners
to represent the United States at
the coronation Of King Edward of
England has called forth a general
protest from the "plain people, of
America. Why should demo-
cratic republic like ours fawn upon
royalty? While we may have the
utmost respect for the "mother
country we certainly have no
sympathy for her kingly institu-
tions. We do not owe her the
courtesy she has asked, and a
polite note declining to furnish
representatives on the occasion of
King Edwards tinsel show would
have been more IN keeping with
our traditions.

UP to the present time the mild
ness of smallpox in North Dakota
since it's first general appearance
three years ago has made it little
feared by the public. But two
cases, where fatality has resulted,
are on record. But physicians,
whose official duties gives them an
unusual opportunity for ascertain
ing the development of the pest,
state that it is growing more pre-
valent and becoming more malig-
nant in form each year. In Min
nesota the number of cases is said
to have practically doubled the
past year, and they are increasing
annually IN North Dakota. 1t is
true deaths tbeFefrom have been
insignificant in number, but ply
sicians report more severe cases
this year than last. DR.. 81. 81.
Healy, president of North Da-
kota's state board of health, is said
to have declared that smallpox
may be expected to grow more
malignant each succeeding year,
that those who have had it in the
past and those afflicted with it at
present, are indeed fortunate.
Despite the vaccination, which is
generally held by men Of science
70 have greatly lessensd the dan
ger of the disease, it is said to be
making progress each year. It
seems impossible to stop it. Near.
" every northern state have
numerous cases. Il is more or
less prevalent in Europe and Asia.

POLITICS in CAVALIER.

The Destinies of Cavalier County Shook
Up With Few journalistic Turns by
w. F. Cushing, the Versatile North Da-
kota Correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune-A Few Jolts for Democrats.
W. F. Cushing is turning out a ready
made hand-me-down sample of space
matter covering the politics OF North
Dakota, past, present and future that
makes the home readers Of the Twin
City papers wonder how one man could
really know it all. 1t is written in the
inimitable style OF that versatile writer
and doubtless attracted but little atten-
tan here until "Cush' directed his long
distance horoscope from Fargo to Cava-
lier county. 1t will be remembered
Cushing was u Langdon newspaper
writer before he was entered as a North
Dakota exhibit at the Pan-American,
SO there ought to be many appreciative
readers OF his representations. Mr..
Cushing can consistently lay claim to
being next" to the trend OF political
sentiment in the republican camp, but
the future is likely to show that as
a political fortune teller he il just as
likely to blunder as anyone. If you
want to read forecast OF Cavalier coun-
ty politics as seen by our eminent repub-
lican friend in Fargo here it is:
THE political pot has started TO boil
a little in Cavalier county, but as yet
the waters are only slightly agitated.
BY the new apportionment the county
is cut into two legislative districts aud
a righteous attempt will be made to
have them both start off in the republi-
can column. For years past there has
zee 1sen political aaa rivalry between Langdon
largest town. Seldom has it been that
the two factions could jibe together, so
the trouble, so far as the legislative tic
ket goes, has been eliminated by giving

REPUBLICAN newspapers which
charge that the democratic party
is manufacturing" the issue of i'm
per,alism are making a grievous
error. The republican party is
creating that issue, to the sore cost
of the American people and of
American principles. The demo-
cratic party would rejoice if the
issue had no existence in fact.
