It is not a generally known historical
fact that from 1774 to 1874 the terri

satisfied with their government, organ
lied a state government under the
name Of Franklin, which was main
tanned for some yesrs. The state
organized afterward disbanded, and
territorial Tennessee was again annex
ed to North Calrolina. The following is
among the laws passed by the legisla-
ture Of the state Of franklin. The Col
umbia Statesman copied it as found in
speech by Daniel Webster on the

largest fleets in the history of
the sugar trade, are now either
on their way to the Delaware
breakwater or are taking on car
goes in Java, and within the next
few weeks will land on the piers
of the Atlantic coast refineries
not less than 25O,O00 tons of the
raw product. All.the ships are
large modern carriers, whose
cargoes, which are loaded at
Semarang, Soura Baya and other
ports in Java, will average at
least $500 tons each, the Ameri-
can steamer Alaskan being now
due with it's second cargo of
1850 tons from Hawaiian ports.
The entire fleet will come to the
Breakwater, where they will re-
ceive their orders for final ports

be distributed to the best ad

STREETS HONESTY.

If reports are true there is one
candidate for the legislature in
this section of the state who is to
be admired for his frankness. 1t
is w. r. Street of Bemidji. He
will be a candidate for the senate
it is said and his platform is a
unique one. He says he is in
favor of the railway merger, and
that he is against Gov. Van
SAINT and for James j. Hill. There
are other candidates for the leg
islature whofeels the same, but
they don't state their views as
frankly and honestly as does Mr..
Street. -Wadena Pioneer Jour
nal.
Van SAINT was not Mr.. Streets
choice for governor before the
state convention, but since the
Governor was the choice of the
convention Mr.. Street is sup
porting him. There is one thing
no one needs toquestion, and that
is Mr.. Streets loyalty to Repub-
licanism. And only those who
know him as a private citizen can
best appreciate his loyalty to
friends.

Official County and City Paper.
COUNTY DIVISION.

COUNTY DIfiSlON.
In response to inquiries as to
the duty Of voters in marking
ballots on the several county
division propositions, County
Attorney Street has made up the
following statement:
Sec. A of Oh. 143 of the Laws
Of 1893 provides the manner OF
voting in county division con
tests, and that section was in 1895
amended by tacking on the fol-
lowing clause: 4.
Provided, the electors shall
only vote for or against one pro-
position, and if the elector places
cross mark opposite more than
one such proposition, said ballot
shall not be counted for any such
proposition, but shall be as to
such proposition null and void.
In the case of the State ex rel.
the Pioneer Press Co., known as
the Red Lake County case, the
constitutionality of this provision
was tested, and it was held
good. It's meaning is too plain
to require explanation. II there
were forty different propositions
before the people at one time, the
voter could only vote FOR OR
AGAINST one of them. The
supreme court has so decided.
There arises then the question
of competing propositions--that
is, the case Of the proposed
Roosevelt and Clearwater coun-
ties, which cover substantially
the same territory. The question
naturally arises, If both PROPOSE
tions should carry, which one OF
them would be a county? That
question has also been determ-
ined by the supreme court, in
the case of State VS. Board OF
County Commissioners OF Red
Lake county, being the second
case which went to the supreme
court before the status Of Red
Lake county was finally determ
ined. In that case, there were
three overlapping propositions,
namely, Red Lake, Columbia and
Mills. When the votes were
counted it was found that all
three propositions had carried,
but that Red Lake had received
a greater number Of votes and a
greater majority than either of
the others--that is, it received
both a MAJORITY Of the votes
cast on it's own proposition, and
also a PLURALITY over either Of
the others. This the court held
to be essentialin such a case, the
court saying:
eff each of two or more OF
them receive a majority OF the
votes thereon without receiving
a PLURALITY of the votes cast on
the several competing PROPOSE
tions, ALL OF THEM ARE DE-
FEATED." ..'"
Further on, the Court said
further:
competing propositions for
new counties may be submitted
at the same election, but only
one can be adopted; and to secure
such result it must receive not
only a majority of the votes cast
thereon, but also a plurality of
the votes cast on the competing
propositions; that is, IT MUST RE-
CEIvE A LARGER AFFIRMATIVE
VOTE THAN ANY OF IT'S COMPET-
ITORS OR RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR
COUNTY. HOOD" ,..-.-. 49,.
In the contest now on in this
county, it will be necessary for
either proposed county to re-
ceive majority of the votes cast
upon it's own proposition, and
also more than are cast for its
rival proposition.
