would probably injure the pros
poets Of needed legislation.
The contest had narrowed to a
fight between Davis and Piercey
OF Stutsman county and the
hdraWal Of Davis prevented
a factional fight in the house
that would have proved ruinous
to that body. IA Bismarck cor
respondent gives the following
graphic account Of the close Of
the fight:
The contest waged back and
forth for several hours, and each.
secured about the same number
of signers for Davis and Piercey
with the latter a little ahead.
Frank Dickinson then secured
the withdrawal of one Of the
Davis supporters and his going
into the Piercey camp, then one
or two more WaVered, and Mr..
Davis looked the situation over
and thought that the success Of
the session could be best served
by stopping the contest right
where twas, and withdrawing
1uneondi ditionaIly as a candidate.
This left Mr.. Piercey as the only
candidate in the field. He was
not anxious for the place but
was in the hands Of his friends.
and there seems no doubt but he
will this evening receive the
nomination Tor speaker and will
be duly elected.
Repre- atiye Davis of Ram
sey was as good natured after
the speakership fight was over
as at any stage Of the contest.
Mr.. Davis put up. d gafns fight
and withdrew simply because he
did not wish to see a prolonged
fight.

World S Peace

Pioneer Press: An important
step in the dire ction Of world
peace will be taken by the
limited States Senate iif It ratii-
|fies the several proposed arbi-
Ttration treaties, III che opinion
of Senator r J. ldc Curnh her Of
North Dako ota. who arrived ait

|on his return from Washintgorl.5
see no reason why the
prop treaties, Of which /
think there are about half a
dozen, should not be APPROX
led by the senate, e said Sena-
tor Nc Cumber. The treaties
are very simple and are sd bstan-
italy the same. There can be
no possible danger in ratifying5
them. for as I remember they
do not bind the contracting
nations to submit any colltro-
|versy to the Hague tribunal.
They are virtually nothing more
than an agre cement that if If
|sboth nations are willing at the
time a colltrov oversy arises the
question shall be submitted to
the tribunal. As / rerne nernber,
each nation is made iits own
Judge as to whether the auestion
in dispute affects the nations
honor and integrity and is there
lfere not a proper subject for
labritratio
! Tlle treaties are important
lprincipally because they show
/ Ian inc clination On the part of
lleading nations to- settle minor
Questions by arbitration rather
than by war. They are in real
lity an expression Of approval OF
Hhe work and purpose Of the
Hague tribunal. They will tend
Ito discourage war and pro mote
world peace.
