SPLENDID STATE c K

Another Republican State Con-
vention has passed into history and
the verdict Of the people Of North
Dakota in November will be that
the convention did It's work we'll.
An unusually acceptable and strong
ticket has been nominated. The
proceedings of the convention were
characterized by an earnestness,
equalled only by the degree Of har-
mony that prevailed. Never before
in the history Of the state has there
been such a full attendance of del
egates from every county. While
it was a foregone conclusion that
Hon. b. Y. Sarles, of Trail county,
would be the nominee for governor,
the enthusiasm attending his NOM
nation was none the less pro-
nounced and sincere. Mr.. Sarles
is one Of the most successful men
OF affairs in the state and his cleo
ton will insure a thorough bust
ness administration, such as the
capitol at Bismarck has never
known before. The only contest
in the convention was for one OF
the congressional nominees. The
northern part of the state desired a
congressman. To obtain one, either
Spaulding or Marshall must be sac
rifced. There was no pronounced
opposition to either, but the Mar
shall forces yer the more active,
and joined the combine with the
western counties that brought sue
cess to Marshall and to Mr.. A. j..
Gronna, of Nelson county. Mr..
Gronna is a type Of self-made men
successful business man who
has been prominent in his county
and in the state for many years.
He will go to congress thoroughly
equipped to discuss and favor those
measures that affect the welfare and
prosperityeof the commercial and
agricultural interests, especially of
North Dakota and the Northwest.
A gloom was cast over the con-
vention by the sudden death of
Cochrane, Of the Supreme
and the nomination of his
successor became an unwelcome
His successor, Edward Eng
rud, of Cass county, is a young at

III. f>fJ
The balance of the ticket, many
Of them renominated, Is excellently
and it is doubtful if the
Republicans have ever had a ticket
this state that will meet with
more enthusiastic approval. IT is
predicted and confidently expected
that the Republicans will carry
every county in the state as before
and by increased majorities.
As a United States Senator, is to
be elected this winter, more than
ordinary interest is and should be
taken in the legislative candidates.
Senator McC umber has made a
splendid record in congress and the
state will be honored by his return.
It should also be remembered
that this is a presidential year and
we owe it to ourselves and to that
peerless leader President Roosevelt,
son Of North Dakota, to keep
this state in line as the banner
Republican state of the Union.

way lines in Manchuria and made a
careful study of conditions in the in
terror.
He had long conference at the State

Mr.. Davidson left Manchuria in De-
cember- At that time the outlook
was grave and Russia was making ex-
tensive preparations for war. Davidson
thinks a conflict between the two powers
almost certain.

PREACHER CALLS HOMER
AND VIRGIL IMMORAL
DR.. Leavitt Tells Baptist Ministers
That Study Of Classics Is Stain
on Our Literature.

CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-Homer' epics and
the ''Aene,d'' OF Virgil were denounced
to day by DR.. J. A. Leavltt, Of Ewing
College. who addressed tire Baptist Min
listers Association at the Masonic Tenn
pie. In the story OF the siege of Troy
he saw nothing more than the story
of a man running away with another
mans wife, He admitted that there
was something heroic in the wanderings
Of Ulysses, but he could find nothing to
admire in the heros loiterings on an
island with Calypso.
"All these pagan cl1ssics. notwith-
standing their popularity, leave their
stain on the purity of our literature, -
declared DR.. Leavitt. They should be
succeeded In our colleges and schools by
the more Wholesome and elevating liter
allure OF the Bible. Our land IS being
flooded with paganism and pagan works.
Our poetry has become as sensuous as
that of the old Greeks and Romans.
The speaker also commented upon the
few conversions In Institutions OF learn
