LIKE BUMPS ON a LOG"
lEdmore Herall.News.l

Our state convention Is now matter
of history. The rank and file of the
delegates had nothing to say as to who
should fill the various offices, but stood
around like so many "bumps on log"
and waited for the dictator to tell them
how to vote and what to do. Alex. Nc
Kenzie, the man who lives in New
York, but who comes here to run our
state conventions and state legislature,
was very much in evidence, and he is
given the credit of making the whole
slate. He was backed up by our senior
senator, who can always be counted on
when there are any political "tricks to
be turned" The most Objectionable
feature is that the ticket was prac-
tically made many weeks ago at the
Merchants hotel in st. Paul, and all
the delegates at the convention were
allowed to do was to ratify the action
of an unscrupulous political gang. We
hope to see the time when the people of
North Dakota will be able to hold a
state convention without it being die
tated by some outsider.

(Mandan Republican,

The defeat of Congressman Spalding,
was entirely in violation of the wishes of
the people. Possibly ninety five per
cent of the 5l1 delegates at the state
convention we're instructed. or under
stood by the people who sent them
there to vote for and nominate MIR.
Spalding, yet it is possible for two of

the number a little low in saying two.

BROUGHT OUT Kisses.
(Casseltou Reporter.D

Hon. b. f. Spalding was not only the
candidate of Cass but was the candi-
date of nearly all the state-excepting a
small coterie of political bosses, whose
power of dictation was exerted to de-
feat him. His popularity with the
audience of the convention-largely
home people of Grand Forks-and even
with the delegates who were bound
against him was demonstrated on the
ballot which nominated his successor;
for every vote for Spalding was greeted
with cheers and the vote of many
opposing delegations, including that of
Grand Forks brought out Kisses

RULED BY THE BOSSES.
(Cando Herald.)

AS usual, the nominations were made
by combination, and Senator Hans
brough appears to have dominated the
combination. The slate prepared by the
combine at no time included the name
of Congressman Spalding, who fully ex-
pected a denomination, although the
mention of his name caused more ap-
plause and enthusiasm among the dele
gates in the convention than any other
part of the proceedings.
Courier Democrat., 1904-08-04

On another page the DEMOCRAT this
week reproduces another batch of clip
pings from the republican papers of the
state denouncing in no uncertain terms
the action Of the republican state con.
vention. In reading these comments
the reader is especially asked to bear IN
mind that they are the utterances of
the republican press Of North Dakota,
papers that have heretofore ardently
espoused the cause of the republican
state ticket. The howl is not coming
from the opposition democratic press,
in which case it could be assigned
as the hue and cry Of party prejudice.
It demonstrates the repugnance Of the
people who have in the past worked for
and voted the ticket to gang rule by
the republican bosses. It amounts to
nothing moro or less than being an en-.
dorsemeHt coming from tho republican
state press o. tho attitude which the

the Recently Held State Convention.

THE SAME OLD STORY.
(Rugby Tribune.)
The state convention of the republican
party was but a repetition of the con-
ventions of the past. The political ma
chine usurped control and roped the
delegates into signing up on ticket
which in one place or another was con-
trary to the desires of every delegate to
the convention.

NEED a PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
(Litchville Bulletin.)

Congressman spalding went to the
convention without opposition but re-
fused to pledge himself to the "gang'
and in an hour afterwards the word was
passed out to slaughter him and it was
done. IF ever the need of primary
election law was made manifest, it was
here apparent. At primary election
he would have polled out 80 out of
every 100 votes, yet the bosses dominated
the convention and made a complete
reversal possible by passing the word
to their dependents that Spalding was
to be slaughtered.

BUTCHER KNIFE POLITICS.
(Hankinson News.)

Paradoxical as it may seem to
those not familiar with the manner
in which state conventions are mani
pulated in this state. It is safe to
say that Mr.. Spalding was the personal
choice of nine-tenths of the delegates
who voted him into temporary oblivion
but the slate had been made and efforts
made to stampede the delegates were
vain.

MORE GRoANs FOR GRoNxA

(Neche Chronotype)
In this issue the Chronotype presents
the ticket placed in nomination by the
republican state convention. The per
sonnel, is as we believe, with very few
exceptions, excellent. From the Chro-
notype's point of view the exceptions are
in the naming of Gronna, for congress,
and Bartlett for lieutenant governor.
just why tried and true public SER
want of proved ability and undisputed
worth, like Spalding, should be sum
marily supplanted by party who is
about as we'll qualified to perform the
duties devolving upon member of the
lower house of the national legislature
as the writer is for the position of am
bassador to the court of heaven, is
something exceedingly difficult for the
average lay mind to comprehend. In
the case of Bartlett, the shameful man
ner in which as manager he has NAL
admlnistrated the affairs of the state ex-
hibit at the worlds fair of itself should
have been sufficient warrant for retiring
him from the position which for the
past four years he has merely occupied
as an indifferently good tigurehead; but
here again was incompe:ency rewarded
and Barrlett's name was placed on the
ticket-more's the pity

matters to privileged ones. and sustained
the point of order against the Moon reso-
luton.
Mr.. Griggs, (Georgia). appealed from the
decision of the chair, whereupon Mr.. Over
street moved TO lay the appeal on the table
which was carried by a strict party vote.
REFUSED TO TABLE.
Speaker Cannon then laid before the
House the committee recommendation that
the Hay resolution lay on the table. By
viva voce vote, the House refused TO table
the resolution.
Mr.. Hay then claimed the floor. Mr.. Nc
Call also commended for it and considerable
discussion followed The speaker decided
in favor of Mr.. Mccall, whose resolution
was read.
Mr.. Cooper was yielded the floor by Mr..
Mccall. and vigorously assailed Mr.. Calder
head, of Kansas. for his remarks against
Mr.. Bristow and insinuations against the
President. Mr.. Cooper added: This mat
ter has degenerated as 1 know it would into
a covert attack upon the President of the
United States.' This remark was met with
derisive laughter and Kisses on the Demo-
cratic side. Mr.. Cooper then defended Cen
tackled the House of Representatives or any
of its members. Let any member rise
here and prove the contrary" he insisted.
The challenge was by Mr..
Cooper's colleague from Wisconsin. Mr..
Jenkins. who called attention to a state
ment made Wednesday that the names of
members had been associated with that of
a. w. Machen, a convicted felon on his
way to the penitentiary."
Then, shaking his finger at Mr.. Cooper,
Mr.. Jenkins said amid cheers: You are
the same gentleman that made that state
ment."
Mr.. Cooper declared that he did not refer
to the Bristow report in his remarks. He
then further lauded Mr.. Bristow and said
he had worn himself out In the cause of
pure government and had received as his
reward villification and abuse. There is
not a particle of printed testimony" he
said" TO Justify this onslaught on him."
liams read from the Congressional Record,
and. like Mr.. Jenkins, called attention to
Mr.. Cooper's remarks of Wednesday about
assocfating members names with that OF
Machen, and said that on Wednesday Mr..
Cooper was as rampagious as a roaring
lion" against BriStowS charges, but now
he was standing up and defending him.
Mr.. Mccall demanded the previous ques-
ton, which was ordered, and which re-
sulted-yeas, 256; nays. 2. The vote had the
effect of sending the Hay resolution to the
select committee named in the Mccall reso-
luton, but does not provide for an inves-
tigation of the Postofice Department.
Mr.. Williams then offered a resolution
providing for the appointment of a com
mittee of five members of the House TO in
vestigate the conduct and ADMINISTRATOR OF
the Postoffice Department. Mr.. Payne de-
manded the regular order and made a mo-
ton to adjourn. which was carried. The
House thereupon adjourned until to-mor-
row at 6:42 p. m.

WOODS APPOINTMENT IS
CONSIDERED BY SENATE
MesSrS. Scott and Blackburn Make
Speeches Against Confirming
the Nomination.
INJUSTICE IS ALLEGED

WASHINGTON, March n.-with the ex-
ception of half an hour devoted TO consid-
Grafton of routine business the Senate spent
the entire day in executive session. devot-
ing most of the time TO the nomination OF
eral. Two set speeches were made in oppo-
sition to General Woods confirmation. the
speakers being Senators Scott and Black
burn. the only two members OF the commit
tee on military affairs who opposed a favor
able report on the nomination.
Senator Scott quoted largely from the
testimony. following closely the charges
made by Major Rathbone. which. he said.
had been in large manner sustained. He
accused General Wood of insubordination
to General Brooke and contended that mis-
responsibility for the Runcie Magazine arti-
Gle was quite definitely established. He also
referred at some length to the franchise to
the Jai Alai, asserting that General Woods
conduct in that case had been far different
from what the chief representative of the
United States government In Cuba should
have been. While he was talking on this
point Senator Foraker interrupted to say
that the responsibility for this incident had
been assumed by the War Department. Mr..
Scott replied that the department had act
ed only after i~nsistent urging by Wood. Sem
ator Scott also referred TO what he spoke
Of as the injustice of General Woods ap-
polntment, saying that there are over a
hundred veteran officers of the civil war
who have not attained rank beyond that OF
colonel. He mentioned a number, including
Major Edward Davis. Lieutenant Colonel
Ii. 3. OSgood, Colonel o. Z. Ernest and
Lieutenant Colonel George p. Borden.
Senator Blackburn spoke with compara-
lively slight reference to the record. He
contended that General Wood had not
earned his rapid advance in the army and
viewing General Woods record. he said
that il had been only a few years since
he was serving as an army surgeon with
the rank of captain. Now, he said. he Is
the ranking brigadier general and his name
is before the Senate for promotion TO a
major generalship. notwithstanding he
never really has participated in more than
one .engagement-that OF Las Guasimas. In
Cuba. Mr.. Blackburn admitted that Cen
eral Wood had taken an infantry
during the campaign against the Apache
chief. Geronomo, but said that the cavalry
had -encompassed Gironomo's downfall and
that General Wood thus had been cut out
of all credit in that connection. The SEN
ator argued that the advancement had
been too rapid for the achievements and
said such rapid promotion was demoraliz-
torious officers. General Wood should wait
for further promotion. he said. Senator
Blackburn then reviewed the evidence bear
ing upon the Jai Alai incident and the
Runcie article and had not concluded when
the Senate adjourned.

Second Abscess Is Forming in the
Throat of the South Caro-

WASHINGTON, March n.-Senator Till
man was much more uncomfortable to-day
than at any time during his illness, though
his condition was not necessarily worse.
His throat is distressing him greatly and
the suffering is most acute. The physi-
clans again to-day found it necessary and
the indications are that another such oper-
alton will be necessary tomorrow as a Sec
ond abscess seems to be forming. Still the
physicians see no cause for apprehenslon
and believe careful treatment and patience
will insure relief. They think that in a
short time Senator Tillman will have recov-
cred sufficiently to enable him to go South
TO recuperate.

SERVICE PENSION
Law IS NOT PROBABLE

WASHINGTON. March ia service
pension law probably will not be enacted
by Congress at the present session. The
subject of such legislation has been under
consideration throughout the session, and
it practically has been determined by the in
valid pensions committed of the House and
the committee on pensions of the Senate
not to report a service pension bill at this
time. Strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon the committees TO induce them
to favorably consider such a measure. but
the decision reached is that IL shall go
over until next Ninter.
