There is likely to be Castor. Alphonse

1t is apparent that the Osnabrock man
has been seen. Some OF its pet candi-
dates for county office this fall don't
seem to get the o. k. OF the party. god
heads.
f. Ashley Mears, OF whom the pioneer |
farmer OF ten or fifteen years ago has
any but kindly recollection figures as |
a candidate for state office in South
Dakota this fall. Since the collapse OF
his scheming plans OF finance in this
part OF North Dakota he has got hold OF
extensive banking interests down there.

At this writing it looks very much as
if Hon. Ole T. Axvig will base his re-
quest for q republican legislative nomina-
ton in the newly formed Fortieth Dis
trict On the heavy hits he has been max.
ing to secure from the railroad better
grain loading facilities in behalf OF his
constituents. Had there been two places
for Cavalier on their state ticket Ole
might have been one Of those who also
ran for railroad commissioner, and there
you are.

The report reaches US from Walsh
county that Hon. c. A. NJ. Spencer, in-
dependent democratic nominee for the
|iudgeship couple OF years ago, has
| wandered back into Metropolitan camp.
There was no stampede up this way
when it was heard what had happened.
A three line local would give in detail
the figure he has cut in any party dur
ing his political wanderings IN this
state OF the past twenty odd years.

Most touching is the Moons post
mortem eulogy OF Hon. Joe NJ. Devine
The effervescent oratoriea flights OF the
head beadler Of LaMoure county republic
canism for the past seventeen years ap-
pear to have struck the man in the
Moon as something more than Il triple
plate silverware ornament. Leave the
slain on the battle field Brother Boyd.
Fail into line with the standard bearers

The issuing OF free transportation to
delegates and Others attending last
week $ republican state convention at
Fargo was certainly in accord with the
manner IN which the convention was
handled bv Jud LaMoure in the interest
of the railroads, which without doubt
issued the passes through Jud. The
statement is not likely to be contradict
, ed that the delegates attending the con.
vention which dominates democratic
ticket at Fargo tomorrow had to either
buy tickets or walk.

Years ago. back i'll '95 when the state
was supposed to be ''hard-up'' and nc
I state university appropriation was forth
q coming from the Legislature. public
spirited citizens contributed to uni
versity mantainsnce fund sums from S;

$50 200. to be repaid out OF future
Q legislative appropriation. The way il
a which university and school lands hav
since gone up in value should place tn

Il ganization OF new county out OF tn

is nothing visible to show that the res
dents OF either county are interested @

o which can be traced with little difficult
