gag-rule on the delegates at thei1
recent republican county convention
and. while we commend the Scandi-
navian Republican League for making
the anti-unit rule clause in their con-
stitutiton and bylaws the paramount
one. we condemn the actions of some
tt its members. who subscribed to
this doctrine and repudiated it at the
first opportunity:
We view with alarm the constant
and steady concentration of the
money power under the republican
administration. but we hail with de-
light the glowing prospects of the
election of the man who shall be
chosen by the people at the demo-
cratic national convention at ST.
Louis on July 9Th.
We still believe in that eternal
truth set forth in the declaration OF
independence by the founders of the
republic. that governments derive
theil Just powers from the consent Of
the governed. and we view with
alarm the policies of the republican
party throughout the nation tending
to separate the people into two class
es. making one dominant and one
subservient and we emphasize the
eternal truth that all men evervwhere
no matter what their station or oc-
cupation. are entitled to a voice, free
and untrammeled. in the making OF
laws under which thev shall live.

could raise $4,000 more by private sub

COLTS VS.. THE COURANT.
En Exciting Game in Which the
Former Claim a Victory.

For some time past some of the
sports in Bottineau have intimated to
us that inasmuch as The Couran t de-
votes considerable space to baseball
talk and is quite lavish with advice
We should gel out on the diamond and
show people what we could do in
that line ourselves. These intimations
and bluffs took definite form Tuesday.
when The Coura n force was chal-
lsnged to play picked nine seven
Inning game on the ball grounds after
supper. We were told that we must
either accept the challenge or for
ever hold our peace about the ma
tional game. Now the Coura n t force
yia made up largely of men who
have devoted their lives to more SER
ious affairs than ball playing. But
our honor was at stake; our courage
was questioned. Unprepared as we
weTe we accepted the challenge. We
'khew very we'll that every detail had
bbsn arranged to take us into camp,
bntswe didn't waver a moment. The
chaAengers had the pick of the town
in making up their team, while we
canfned ourselves to those who are in
Some way connected with The
.Qou r n t, printers, reporters, editors
and correspondents, and those who
ate temporarily assisting in our pres
eit rush of job work. Our team was
composed Of the following persons
Ian McGovern. Haskett, Howe, Ed
McGovern, Nero, Hansen. Gardner,
Wise and Murphy. The challengers
or, o. Brien's Colts. as they styled
themselves. were managed by Ed.
E0'Brien and the following men made
up the nine: O'Brien, Martin, Daley,
Payne, Feutz. Fraser. Smith. White
and Puiford. Mr.. Lyncn of the Bot
tineau ball team consented to umpire.
IN the first inning the challengers ran
in eight scores while The Couran1
nine only crossed the home plate
twice.. The second inning went five
to two against US. After that The
|Coura n t boys rallied and had easy
sailing. We were catching up te
them in q walk, so to speak. At the
end of the sixth inning the score stooi
10 to II in favor of the challengers
when they brought undue pressure t.
bear % the umpire to call the game
on on account OF darkness in order K
save them from defeat. That Th,
Courant force outclassed their oppon
ents in brilliant plays latter the frs
two innings was conceded by all thu
spectators. The only good play mad'
by the opposition was a sensational
catch by O'Brien, while innate mod
esty prevents as from mentioning tn
many brilliant plays made on ou
side. Another game is scheduled TO
Saturday evening between these teams
and we expect to see our friends ou
to 'sroot' in good cause. We can
not guarantee that the game viii
take place however; though O'Brien

back down at the last moment. A

they can expect to be in the game a

had sufficient practice to timber up.
