Notwithstanding the fact that
Editor Grethen Of the Goodrich
Flicker and Editor Harris Of the
Underwood Miner, the former out
spoken for Democracy, and the
latter supporting a rump ticket
which he styles "our' Republican
ticket. are fathering the statement
that the Republicans of Mclean
county have not been loyal to their
party and to their party nominees
in the past. especially in the cam
paign of 1902, the statement is I'M
true and entirely false. The state
ment is without foundation and is
in line with others that these pa
pers are making regarding affairs
locally in Mclean county. If there
is anything that the Republicans
Of Mclean county take pride in,
it is their answering loyalty at
the polls to the nominees of their
party. This loyalty is not confined
to the national ticket, but is appa-
rent all down the line including
justices of the peace. That can
didate is the nominee of the Re-
publican party, that is the best
recommendation that seeker for
Office in Mclean county can be
accorded. True, there is not all
peace and harmony in the Repub-
lican councils in Mclean county,
there are differences and there are
preferences, but these matters are
settled and adjusted in the conven-
tions and in the caucuses of the
members of the party. The major
ity of the delegates in a conven-
tion rules and dictates the nomi-
nees of party, but the claims of
the minority is always given due
consideration and they are given
fair treatment by the ruling ma
jority, and the policy Of rule or
ruin finds 10 favor with Mclean
county Republicans. The minority
in the convention of 1904 may be
the majority in the convention of
1906. The majority in the conven-
tion Of 1904 are not seeking and
finding fault, but they. are out,
giving the Republican ticket their
hearty support. That is true party
ism, and that is what makes the
Republicans strong in Mclean Go.
After their ticket is selected, they
stand united for its election-there
is no cutting and no knitting at the
polls. True, at the time Of the
party caucuses and during the con-
vention, the electors and the dele

gates present their views and urge
their respective candidates freely
and do not hesitate to make a fight
on what to them may seem just and
for the good of the party. This is
the spirit of true Americanism and
these free and open discussions on
the part of the delegates Of the Re-
publicans Of Mclean county in
convention assembled has made it
possible for the party to make wise
selections for candidates for Office,
and it has been the means of Nc
Lean county having able and con-
servative men in Office who have
administered the affairs of the
county in the interest Of the tax
payer.
1t has not been the policy Of the
old party leaders in Mclean county
in political matters or otherwise, to
array the old timers against the new
comers as editor Harris would have
the people understand. On the con-
trary, all the new comers who have
affiliated themselves with the party
and have been active workers for
the welfare of the party as a whole
have been cordially received and
their claims for recognition in the
makeup of the tickets and other
wise have not gone unheeded. A
goodly share of the Republican
county ticket is made up Of compar-
atively new settlers in the county.
If there is any elector in the county
who desires recognition in the next
county convention, he should see
that his precint casts it's full quota
Of Republican votes in November,
and then get the endorsement of
his precinct at the primaries pre-
ceding the next county convention.
Tell your local people what you
want, and ask them as Republicans
to give you their support, and with
that support back of you, present
your claims to the convention. That
is the only method that succeeds
in politics-become worker for
the advancement and the up.build-
ing Of the party. That will give
you claim on the party for recog-
milton.
That the Mclean county Repub-
licans supported the entire ticket
in 1902, the following table show
ing the vote by precincts will evil
dence conclusively. The total vote
of the respective candidates from
governor down varying from 6l5 to
658:-

NEW LINES UNDER WAY.
-"During the year, the company
completed the extension Of it's line
from Brentwood to Reserve, Wis.,.
1885 miles; purchased the line
from Rex to Mead's Quarry, Mich,
1854 miles; completed and put in
operation the extention from Glen
wood to a point eignt miles south
of Detroit, Mimi, 81 miles; and
purchased the Bismarck, ,Washburn

Bismarck northwesterly to Under
wood, N. D., 1896 miles; making a
total addition to mileage 1886
miles,
"The extension north from Glen
wood, known as the Winnipeg line
is under construction, and will be
completed and put in operation not
later than Dec. l, 1904. To pro-
vide the funds for the construction
and purchase Of this additional
mileage the company issued during
the fiscal year 1872 of it's consoli-
dated mortgage bonds; and since
the close of the fiscal year has is
sued $50 more Of said bonds, which
will provide all the funds required
to complete the Winnipeg line and
pay for additional equipment con-
tracted for delivery at an early date.
With the completion of this line,
and after the issuance of the above
mentioned bonds, the companywi'l
own about l6O miles of railroad on
which no bonds have as yet been
issued.
"The equipment was increased
during the year by the purchase Of
fifteen locomotives and five pas
senger cars, besides considerable
second hand equipment received
with the purchase of the Bismarck

KENTUCKIANS SHY
AT MAYORS CARPET
Fourteen Mountaineers Side
Round Turkish Rug In
Silent Awe.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Fourteen Ken
lucky mountaineers who scorn the sar-
torial embellishments Of the effete East,
and were attired in Kentucky jeans,
called upon Mayor Mcclellan yesterday
afternoon. Attention was attracted not
alone to their unconventional garb, but
to their striking size.
They were visibly embarrassed by
the luxurious appointments of the pub
lie reception room. For fear of soil
ing the carpet" as they termed the
expensive Turkish rug that covers the
floor, they ranged themselves around
the room on the narrow strip of floor
ing.
The delegation had been brought here
by the Hermann Lumber and Furni-
ture company to testify in a suit in
the United States court over valuable
timber tracts.
When the mayor entered the room
suspicion of a hoax was aroused in
the minds Of some Of the visitors by
his youthful appearance, but Mr.. Nc
Clellan put them at their ease, and they
began swapping "reminiscences.
"Fit" Against Little Mac"
Henry Clay Moore, six feet two in
his home-knit socks, collarless and tie
less, told the mayor that he had "fit''
against his father as a member of
Stonewall Jackson's brigade, but had
