ticket logic. Then following Mayor
Duis he called attention to the fact
that Fisk wanted the nomination for
supreme Judge from the jamestown
convention including Mckenzie and
LaMoure, and failing to secure II the
democratic party bolted and set un
business for itself. While on this sub
Ject he laid down the law which The
Evening Times has been declaring
though we deny any collusion-that
the judge is undel tle power of those
who elect him. He did not say though
that If the democratic candidate is
elected he will be under the mower of
the railroad attorneys wht are elect
Ing him. He further stated that men
who hetray the party trust are party
traitore He gave some attertion to
the capitol commission bill hut some
how he did not recollect that Cashel
and Casey voted for it.
Passing from the state ticket to
democratic issues where he was not
compelled to ride two horses in oppo-
site directions at the same time he
was decidedly at home, and it must
be said that during the remainder of
his speech, he was fairly logical from
democratic standpoint. He stated
that the election of the democratic
ticket next Tuesday in This state
would help to make democratic tariff
laws. Then turning to the matters of
free trade and tariff he openly advo-
Gated what is known as free trade. He
is opposed to protection because it
gets higher prices for the things which
are sold. His entire argument on the
tariff was one of the ablest arguments
heard In this state for many years.
And be 1t said that he was honest and
presented the argument in favor OF
democratic tariff In a clear and able
manner. His closing appeal for the
voting of the straight democratic
ticket also had the ring of a man who
meant what he said and who was con-
scientious. His most characteristic
sentence appears at the head of this
article. Another thing which he made
clear was that the election next Tues
day will result in the election of a
democratic ticket in this state two
years hence. John D. Benton will not
be elected to congress next Tuesday,
but those who are opposed to him in
this political fight will have the pleas
ure of knowing thai he is a man who
So far as the issues of this campaign
are concerned has not attempted any
false pretenses, and has stood square,
ly by the party and what 1t represents,
and has not pretended to carry water
on both shoulders. He has been
democrat standing for what he thinks
is right and not posing as beggar at
the opposition crib.

Joined by Mayor Duis after the close
of his speech.
The opening address was made by
Mayor Duis of this city, and while his
oratory does not sound like the melody
OF an old tune gently hummed in the
parlor to the accompaniment of the
piano. with the foot on the soft pedal
and the lights turned low, it gave his
political opponents the impression of
combination of maui and a wooden
wash tub. But he had the democratic
arguments we'll in hand and presented
them as ably as any one could. He
launched into the railroads and admit
ted In fact that the party was par
TALLY in favor of the railroads and
stated that those in North Dakota were
assessed lower than in either Minne-
sofa or Montana, but did not show
the relation in any one of the three
states between the taxation of railroad
and other property on the same as
sessment basis. He wisely lodged
that point and gave his audience a
misstated fact which Is the same as a
thing for which Kentuckyans died with
their boots on. He then turned his
attention to the republican bosses of
this state and called attention to the
fact that not many years ago Alex Nc
Kenzie was elected sheriff of Burleigh
county by the democrats. Nobody SEEM
Cd to know before where that man got
all his ideas of politics. That is one
new point in the political history of
the state to the credit of Mayor Duis
and one was almost compelled to re-
gret that in that famous Minot con-
ventiOn deal where he went out and
the democratic candidate for supreme
Judge went in that the sacrifice had
to be made to accomplish the deal.
Drifting over to the capitol commits
sion bill, he called attention to the
corrupt methods which lay hidden be-
hind that bill but he neglected to state
or else forgot to tell the audience why

ocratic candidate for reelection, and
Representative Casey, who presided at
the immaculate Minot convention and
was the only member of the lower
house in the last legislature, both
voted for the bill. Then the cat came
out OF the bag. He said II the repub-
lican convention at jamestown had
recognized the democrats and given
them slice of the pie which was on the
table down there and had nominated
FISK, the present democratic candidate
for supreme Judge, the democrats
would have been satisfied Great
Jehosaphat! The hungry crowd who
are now opposing the ticket named at
jamestown because of the corruption
OF that convention and then willing to
have been satisfied If Judge Fisk had
been nominated! The applause came
in at the end of his statement, but any
place will do. He paid a glowing tri-
butte to Judge Engerud. and called
attention to the purity of his politics,
put ne forgot again to tell all the truth
that Engerud was nominated by the
gang and had been branded with the
gang brand. According to Mayor Duis,
ana the position is correct, John Burke
would be helpless If elected unless
the greater majority of the state DEM
ocratic ticket is also elected. This
gave him the chance to urge with all
his power the election of the entire
democratic ticket. and then he SWITCH
ed to the county ticket and appealed
to every democrat to vote the ticket
and especially to elect Tom Gray be-
cause Gray had helped elect Duis in
non-partisan campaign--the last
idea being carefully concealed, but the
appeal for Gray being eloquent for
the reason stated which was the one
given by the mayor. He reused con-
siderable enthusiasm by the declara-
tion that he was not asking men to
do what he would not do himself and
that he expected to vote the straight
ticket. That" said he. "is the only
way to accomplish anything"
Benton's Talk.
The speech of John d. Benton, the
democratic candidate for congressman,
II divided into two parts, Is easy to
analyze and follow. The first part
devoted to state issues. was full of
Inconsistencies and contradictions. He
announced that the creed of his party
was that No outsiders and no foreign-
ers need apply. He did not refer to
the soup houses. the Coxey's armies,
and the starvation which existed un-
der the last democratic administration.
for which he worked just as he is
now and for which he voted and of
which he made the same glowing and
impossible promises as he is now. So
long as he was on the state issues he
wandered. He said the state candi-
dates of the republican party were
known long before they were nomin-
ated and this fact proved according
to his sophisthy that the people had
been deceived by their nomination. But
to get horse laugh he read from
statement of the Fargo bar which he
accepted as democratic scripture the
statement that If these people had
known day in advance that Knauf
would have been elected they would
have been able to have prevented 1t.
Well, that Is a sample of his state

Bulletin Relative to High
ways Of North Dakota.
ARE 59,332 MILES OF
PUBLIC ROAD N THE STATE
Of This 2O5 Miles Are Surfaced
With Gravel-Seven of
Stone.
(By Il. G.. SNYDER,


Washington, d. c., Nov. Am in
teresting circular has just been issued
by the public roads division of the
agricultural department relative to the
public roads OF North Dakota; mile
age and expenditures in 1904. It is
shown that during the year of 1904
there were 1882 miles OF public road
in the state of North Dakota, of which
2O5 miles were surfaced with gravel
and seven miles with stone. BY COM
pairing the total road mileage with the
area of the state, it appears that there
was eighty-four hundredths of a mile
OF public road per square mile of area
A comparison with the population
shows that there was one mile of road
to every five inhabitants, but only one
mile Of improved road to every 1905
inhabitants.
In each county having a population
OF 1000 or more tax of not less than
10 cents on each 500 worth of taxa
BILE property may be levied and COL
lected annually for road purposes.
This tax may be worked out at the rate
of $3.50 per day.
A township tax of not to exceed so
cents and bridge tax of not to ex-
coed 20 cents may also be levied by the
electors at the annual township meet
ins.
In addition to the township property
tax. every male person between the
ages OF Fl and so years is required
10 pay annually poll tax of $3.50 for
road purposes. This tax may be paid
In money or by one days labor on the
public roads.
The amount derived from the prop
erty tax and expended on roads was
$456,1 in 1904, and the Estimated
cash value of the labor tax, figured ON
the basis Of $1.50 per day, was $94,-
210.50. making total expenditure of
'$55O,340.72. BY comparing the total
expenditure with the total mileage of
public road and with the population of
the state, 1t is found that the funds
collected and expended for road pur-
posesS including the estimated cash
value Of the labor tax, amounted to
1928 per mile of public road, or $1.72
per inhabitant.
