DEMOCRATIC sentiment affecting the
presidential campaign in North Dakota,
as viewed from the editorial expressions
of the papers representing that party,
show that in the choice of candidate
Hearst is preferable to Parker, although
the stand taken cannot be construed as
being a radical one. Two-thirds of the
democratic papers of the state have
come out openly in support of Hearst as
a presidential candidate of the demo-
cratic party, while the papers that con-
stitute the remaining third are laying
low and saying little. 1t is fact, how
ever, that if Hearst needed the delega-
ton he could have it, for there is not a
man before the people today who meets
the views Of the average North Dakota
democrat better than Hearst. The fact
that Parker was successful in the New
York convention does not change the
situation here. The feeling against
Parker is due to his failure to announce
himself on the real issues of the COM
ing campaign. Were he to come out on
a platform that would stand the scrutiny
of the democrats Of this state there is
little doub. but that the sentiment for
him would be strong. He must speak
first. Hearst has spoken. The people
know what he stands for. and his views
meet the approval of the democrats of
the state.

The reports of seeding all over the
county, are very encouraging. With
favorable weather, such as has been
prevalent the past few days, it will be
possible to do an immense amount of

for believing that this will be banner

Perry Case.

Perry Case.
Grand Rapids, Mich. Nov 81
More OF the correspondence between
ex-Mayor Perry and the promoters Of
the Lake Michigan water deal was
read in court Monday and letter-press
copies OF all that passed between them
during the whole period were brought
forward as evidence. Much OF this
correspondence was not allowed how
ever, TO be read except as showing the
attitude Of the respondent.
The opinion that prevails among
court officials is that Perrys case is
practically won already and they look
for an early verdict Of acQuittal when
IT is submitted TO the jury
