BEFORE AND AFTER.

Speaking of Mr.. Bryan's speech
making tour of Indiana an exchange
prints the following: "With such a
candidate the battle would begin
with a footrace and end with rout."
Shamefacedly, reluctantly, but be-
seechingly the democratic party is
turning toward the author of the
above prophecy whose overthrow"
the wise men of the East somewhat
prematurely celebrated in July. In
their desperate case with a sleader'
who cannot lead, who cannot even
make public speech, with a vast
silence in the West. with no COM
manding figure on the stump any
where-except a group of Southern
politicians whose trace issue'' mad
ness loses votes to the party where
ever they speak in doubtful state
the Eastern managers recall the fire
and passion of the Nebraskan's two
campaigns and would fain swallow
their pride and offer any terms for
his help. No democrat is abusing
the Peerless now. Nothing is too
coed for him. We feel the same way
ourselves. The democratic canvass
needs ginger. Let Bryan get out and
hustle for Parker. If he has not
kept file of his previous tributes to
the Judge we shall be glad to supply
him with a few texts from his own
public utterance.
The Albany platform is a conf
dence game.
Parker goes before. the country on
a cowardly and straddling platform.
If Parker were elected, democratic
callers at the White House would
have to wade through peanut shells
knee deep.
A speechless candidate and a
meaningless platform.
A man weak enough to put his
candidacy in Hlll's and Belmont,S
hands.
The plutocfatic element is in con :
troll of the democratic party.
Parker's nomination virtually
nullifies the antitrust plank.
ParKer's nomination was secured
by crooked and indefensible methods.
He and his managers adroitly and
purposely concealed his position un-
til the nomination had been assured.

Judge Fisk who was nominated by
the democrats and also by individual
nomination is desirous of having the
secretary of state place his name in
two places on the official ballot.
The law as heretofore construed is
against this as it gives candidate
an unfair advantage. The case is to be.
argued on the grounds that the Law
is unconstitutional. Any man whe
is intelligent enough to vote for a
man of his choice. after discrimina-
tion and comparison with other can
didates, will not hesitate to mark
his choice on the ballot no matter
where the name is found. Any can
didate nominated by petition will
get most of the votes any how no
matter where his name is found on
the ballot.

A list of all the legislative nomi-
nees certified to the secretary of state
shows that large proportion of re
publican nominees elected four years
ago to the senate we're renominated
this year and that many of the house
members have been promoted by
ominatjons to the senate. In two
districts where democrats were
elected two years ago, the party has
failed to make nominations this year.
In only one district has democrat
been renominated for the senate.
Out of "a hold over senators only
four are democratic and one indepen-
dent-democratic. In the house out
of SS members to BE- elected. only
four democrats have been renominated
while 80 republicans have had re-
nominations

FOR STATES ATTORNEY.

The nomination of George W..
Phorp for States Attorney is one
that without reference to political
sentiment appeals to the reason and
business sense Of the voters at the
coming election. Mr.. Thorp is still a
young man; but youth is objection
able only when it is accompanied by
inexperience or lack of discretion.
Neither of these objections apply to
Mr.. Thorp. He has been carefully
trained for the practice of law by
graduation from an eastern Univer-
sity and by long association with his
father, E. ". Thorp, who during his
life time was one of the leading
lawyers of the state. Mr.. Thorp has
now been for FIVE years engaged in
the practice of law in Jamestown.
In that tire by the display of mark.
cd ability in his profession and by
close application to the business of
his cllentage, he has built up a large
and constantly increasing practice.
He has won not only the approval
of his clients but the respect of his
associates at the bar.
For four years Mr.. Thorp was City
attorney Of Jamestown. 1t happened
that during this period questions of
unusual Importance and difficulty
arose in the administration OF city
affairs. Any one who has followed or
who will now take the trouble to ex-
anime the records of bis department
during this time cannot fail to be i'm
pressed by the carefulness, ability and
skill that marks the discharge Of
every official act. 1t is noted as a
time during which the city was sue
cessful in all matters of litigation in
which it was interested that came
before the courts.
In his general practice Mr.. Thorp
has been more than usually successful.
He has appeared before the supreme
court of the state in several important
cases and has in that court received
recognition such as is usually given
only to attorneys of much greater ex-
perience. His professional record
throughout is such as to guarantee the
county in case OF his election safe
and capable legal adviser.

hard to tell just how much the near
approach of election has in producing
the recent stirring up, but, never
theless, let 'be good work 90 on, not
only in Jamestown, but in all parts

1t strikes the mind Of the most
casual reader that il e. T. Burke is
a county Official who releases crimi-
nails from prosecution and protects
dive-keepers, or others In breaking
the law, as the organs Of Judge
Gla spell charge, why has not the
Judge removed such a man from
Office? II the charges made against
Mr.. Burke are true it would seem to
be the duty Of a Judge who claims to
be serving the best interests Of the
public. to prevent such a man as
Burke is said to be from filing the
Office of states attorney, or practicing
at the bar.

that the indictment does not charge
any Offense of which they are guilty
It is claimed in their defense that their
goods were sold in the open market
and were not made directly for the
government and that therefore there
was no conspiracy against the govern
ment as charged in the Indictment.

SUCCESS IN BUSINESS is DUE
TO SQUARE DEALING.

When we opened our large music
store in Bismarck, We selected such
instruments as would give customers
the very best piano value for their
i money. We made arrangements to
buy direct from the manufacturers,
and pay cash, thereby being In posi-
tion to compete with ,any music
house in the United States. In Sc.
lecting the Mehlin and Crown pianos
as our leaders, we have succeeded in
our purposes.
The Mehlin piano is the pride OF
every home which possesses one and
years Of constant use proves it to be
what its maker designed it to be,
the equal Of any piano manufactured.
Mr.. Geo. P. Bent, the manufactur-
er of the Grown, is the originator
Of the piano, commonly known as the
piano of many tones, giving the cor
rect imitation of the mandolin,
either, harp. ETC., which attachment
can be used or not as the player
wishes, and hundreds can Oe found
in North Dakota homes, the happy
owner always being an advertiser Of
the Crown.
We will not sell you an instrument
at or below cost but at fair legiti-
mate profit, and In SO doing can save
you from $50 to 500 on a piano.
Advertisement should instruct,
not deceive, and though tho follow
ing statement Is strong one yet
We are willing to prove oul assertion
when we say: We claim the Mehlin
to be the equal Of any piano manu-
factured and by selling you Mehlin
or Crown We will save you from $50
to 600. Further, We will tell you
just how a piano is constructed, IN
side and out. It Is the interior

THE TRUE ROOSEVELT.
A Wild and Woody View by a Hungarian
Newspaper.

A Wild and Woody View by a Hungarian
Newspaper.
European appreciation of American
politics is more picturesque than the
original. A few weeks before the late
Senator Hanna's death the following
paragraph appeared in a Hungarian
newspaper:
"Theodore Roosevelt, the American
president, has a new rival for the pres
idency. There is about to be an elec-
ton in the United States, and Mark
Hanna, powerful man, will oppose
him. 1t is difficult to understand
clearly the American conditions in
this country, but we learn upon in
vestigation that before he became
president, Roosevelt was a cowboy,
and the cowboys, being the dominant
party in the United States, elevated
their companion to the presidency.
After ROosevelt's election the COWBOYS
demanded the best officers. including
two members of the cabinet, but
Roosevelt ignored their demands, so
they have decided to avenge them
selves and defeat him for reelection.
The cowboys WELD tremendous power
in the United States west of New York
City: and they have offered the presi-
dency to Hanna. A delegation called
on him at his place in the state of
Cleveland and rendered him the nom
ination. Hanna has never been
cowboy, but. being ambitious, he has
accepted the nomination, and it is
thought he will be elected. We learn
that Hanna will make his campaign on
wild mustang. He is an old man,
but daring and skillful rider. In
his youth he carried off high honors
as an equestrian and he is decorated
with numerous medals. Saturday
