warm up very much. It, is said
that Senator Judson LaMoure
has concluded tc give it to
Representative Richmond of
Benson county. This makes it
easy for the members of the
house.
The Mandan Pioneer says that
the al RgimaEx alection. raformerA.
OF this state want candidates for
state Offices to be nominated by
direct vote. In Minnesota where
they have primary election law
that foisted Mayor Ames on
Minneapolis, most Of the sensible
people are tghting against the
principle of having the state. Of
ficials named by direct vote. The
contention there is that while q
direct vote might work we'll in a
county where the voters know
the individual candidates, it
would not work we'll where the
voter cannot know the candidates
for state Offices, many of whom
live hundreds of miles away.
The LaMoure Chronicle re-
marks as follows: 'tIt would
have been difficult to crowd a
greater number of misstate.
ments and inconsistencies into
so short a paragraph. In the
first place, The Chronicle denies
that "most of the sensible peo-
pie of Minnesota are fighting
against the principle of having
state officials named by direct
vote" We assert that exactly
the contrary IS true, and that
most of the sensible people of
Minnesota want the system ex-
panded and made to conform to
the Wisconsin system. Had the
Minnesota law covered state
Offices. Bob. Dunn could not have
been nominated governor by cor
poration influence and money,
and the republican party would
have been spared a humiliating
and costly defeat. But when
the Pioneer refers to the ''best
people" of Minnesota it doubt.
less has in mind that class
of professional politicians who
live by their wits-the people of
North Dakota are gradually be-
coming acquainted with the
breed.
Again, note the alleged object.
tion that it would not be safe to
allow the people to vote directly
for candidates for state Offices,
''many of whom live hundreds of
miles away" !" while in the same
sentence the law is held up to
scorn because it foisted Mayor
Ames on Minneapolis! The
Chronicle would rather entrust
the selection of state and con-
gressional candidates to the
whole people than to machine
politicians in q t'cut and dried
convention farce.
The Chronicle very well un-
derstands that argument avails
nothing in the case of men like
Tuttle, whose opposition to any
system Of reform that will weak.
en- the grip Of the political bosses
is accepted as a matter of course.
But it is q pleasure, sometimes,
to puncture their hollow pre-.
lenses and expose their shams.

Partially hiding itself in the mud or
sand. it waves its long filaments with
their glittering tips. AS is well known,
fishes are attracted by glistening OBJ
jects moved about in the water. The
neighboring fishes, following the in
stincts of their inquisitive nature, come
TO examine the curious object. and sud-
denly they find themselves snapped up
in the wide jaws of their hidden foe.
The angler is a very voracious crea-
ture, and on several occasions it has
been known to seize fish that had
been hooked and was being drawn to
the surface. In one such case the
angler seized a Goldfish and would not
loosen its grip until it was struck on
the head with boat hook. On anoth-
er occasion the fish fell n victim to its
own gluttony, for. having dashed at
q conger eel that had just been hooked
and having taken it into its mouth, the
eel contrived to escape through one of
the gill apertures. and thus ii was the
unconscious means of involving its cap
tor in its own fate.
Even the cork floats on lines and
nets have been swallowed by the
greedy fish, and when taken in a net
