Maj. Murphy Still Intends to Fight

St. Paul Globe: Major j. 5,
Murphy, the Minot, N. D., politi-
cal leader, whose delegation was
refused a seat in the North Da-
kota state delegate convention
held at Fargo last month is at
the Merchants. and makes the
declaration that he will carry
his fight into the state nominal
ing convention.
Major Murphy was accompan-
led to St. Paul yesterday by sew
eral of his political friends from
North Dakota, and Joseph A.
Roach, who headed the delega-
ton that was seated by the con-
vention, with a number OF his
political supporters, was also at
the st. Paul hotel. The fact OF
the presence of the two rival
factionsin st. Paul led to re-
ports that the state leaders were
trying to patch up a truce be-
tween them, but there was very
little mingling of the combatants
about the hotel, and one man
said he doubted if they could get
together.
Major Murphy did not deny
that he intends to take his fight
for recognition before the nomin-
ating convention, which is sched-
uled to meet at Grand Forks
July 20. He refused to divulge
his plan Of campaign, but said:
zone Knockout will not keep a
North Dakota politician long on
his back. We were entitled by
every rule Of political control to
seats in the convention, and,
furthermore, we have not only
the votes behind us, but the law

THE NORTHDAKOTA
DISPLAY AT THE FAIR
Hon. R. w. Davidson says the Mineral
Exhibit is very Poor.-Fair in a Very
Unsatisfactory Condition--Advises all
to wait till September
from jap"

from Jap"
1t has rained every day since
my arrival not only rain but
poured down. And the condi-
ton of the roads is something
frightful with mud everywhere.
The roads and sidewalks will
not be completed for a month
yet nor will all the exhibits be
unpacked. It is certainly in an
unfinished and unsatisfactory
condition. One thing they have
learned and got it down to a
fine art. The whole manage
ment every where simply hold a
man up and rob him Of every
thing they can get. Two dol
lars for a bed, IS cents to a dol
lar for a breakfast, a nickel in a
slot machine for a drink OF water
on the grounds or fifteen cents
for a glass Of lemonade, and SO
on it goes.
Anyone from Minot contemp-
lating visiting the Fair, l would
advise them to wait until Sept
ember, all the work then will
probably be completed and the
facilities for moving over the
ground will be bette. Certainly
one can see more here in a short
time than he could in many
wears unless one was able to
travel abroad extensively.
Very truly yours,
r. w. Davidson.

TO The Independent

arrived here at night, and when
we came in view OF the buildings,
the grand electrical display upon
them was almost startling, the
effect is most beautiful indeed.
The first day l visited the North
Dakota exhibit in the Agricul-
tural hall, where we were kindly
received by Lieu. Gov. Bartlett
and staff Of able assistants. The
North DAKOTA display stands
quite conspicuous. The leading
feature is Roosevelt's cabin from
the Little Missouri. She has a
very large quantity Of threshed
wheat, oats, and flax, her miner
al exhibit is very poor, with but
one exception, that is the pottery
clay and it's products, which GER
tainly are very fine. Altogether
it looks very much like a Bah.
cock clay advertisement.
The Russians have not had
time to unpack but have placed
a white sheet fence about their
space. l then passed unto the
Japanese ground and was greet
ed kindly by a little fellow who
showed his exhibit and talked
in good English. l asked him
why Russia didn't uncover her
ground. He replied, "Oh. She
