s Grand Forks, N. D., April 2.-Sena-
tor Hansbrough and Judge Cowan
have become reconciled. This is the
report that is brought from Devils
Lake by a politician who knows Of
the peace conference there a few
nights ago. Judge Cowan, members
several politicians from various parts
of the district were present and the
whole situation was gone over. 1t was
decided that the judge should be re-
nominated without opposition, and
that he should, in return. refrain from
interfering in the future with the
affairs of the senator: This program
was accepted by all concerned.
Senator Hansbrough is an adept at
this sort of settlement, and he has, on
! more than one occasion adopted this
policy as a means of removing OBJ
structions from his path. Only last
year this method was used to take
care Of Colonel Creel, who for these
many years had been a thorn in the
side of the senator.

nate county candidates and to elect

/ and sthe judicial convention which
meets in Darlington. The county or

4 pell, and was successful two years
4 ago in depriving him of the support

4 time a democratic paper, but which
