The swearing train from the recent
republican state convention at Grand
Forks was not heavily loaded. There
were less than the usual disappoint-
ments. The defeat of Hon. B. F.
Spalding was a surprise and can be
accounted for only on the theory that
the friends of other candidates COM
bined to look after the interests of
their own favorite sons rather than
the welfare of the congressman from
Cass who has been entirely satisfac-
tory to the state at large and who had
every reason to believe that he would
meet with no opposition. Politics is
a cold blooded proposition in this state
and the conditions here are just the
same as elsewhere. The people are
not so appreciative of merit in their
representative as they are solicitous
for their respective localities. Theo-
servants location should cut but little
figure as compared with fitness, but
practical politics def1es theory There
is still another side to the question
The people are not hero worshipers.
They believe no man is holding Office
but that his place can be filled by an
equally fit person. This is true but
sight is often lost of the fact that ex-
perience, especially in congress, is of
great advantage to the individual in
the accomplishment of things for his
constituents. 1t is a sort of state as
set. Mr.. Spalding has made an accept
able congressman. 1t is believed his
successor-who will undoubtedly be
the Hon. A. J. Gronna-will also acquit
himself with credit to himself and
| benefit to the state. He is one of the
state. He has a clean record and
! commands the respect Of all who
know him. He has not sought politi-
cal preferment but has always taken
that interest in politics that every
good citizen should take. Geographic
cally his residence is in his favor. If
the duties of congressman are con-
genial and his political friends are not
too unreasonable in their demands he
may become useful. valuable repre-
sentative. AS North Dakota grows
older political conditions will improve.
Merit will receive more consideration
and the benfits of continuing good men
in the counsels of the government at
Washington will be better appreciated

DEATH OF JUDGE cocHRANE

The sudden death Of Judge John M.
Cochrane at Grand Forks on the day
OF the state convention, and the I'M
expected nomination at the convention
OF successor to the office of Judge
of the supreme court, was one of those
lamentable and shocking condolences
that are occasionally noted in life.
Few men were better known through
the state than Judge Cochrane and
none held higher place as a lawyer.
Having reached, at barely middle age,
the highest place within the gift of it's
people that it lis possible for a lawyer
to attain in this state, it is extremely
sad and unfortunate that he should
have been thus suddenly cut down.
Judge Cochrane was a man of fine
tastes, a keen student Of the law,
conscientious counselor, and person
ally an amiable and likable man. He
has been a well known figure in the
politics of his county, and of the
state, and his addresses at various
times have been features of state con-
ventions.
Especially sad is the situation of
the wife. who has been his constant
companion for years, watching care
fully his sometimes rather delicate
health, and thus bereaved suddenly
and shockingly. The sympathy of the
state will go out to her unreservedly
Judge Cochrane was born in Frank
Lin county, Pennsylvania, March 8,
1853, and was the son of James and
Caroline A. (McDowel) Cochrane.
