An ASS.

l were on the first board and erected
the pen. think John A. Mclean was
the other one. And we erected the
building within the appropriation.
Alex had read the Hoosier Schoolmaster
in his younger days, and had learned
from that "When you are Citing git a
plenty" and he got the Capitol Com
mission appointed. 1t was appointed
with the intention of moving the cap
itol to Pierre, but it got away from
Pierre because Alex Mckenzie was on
the commission. Spalding was on the
commission and I do not think Alex
ever felt very grateful to Spalding for
his course on the commission, and if
there has been any slips between the
cup and the lip for which Mckenzie is
in any way responsible it is possible
that it relates to the fight for the re-
moval of the capitol to Bismarck. 1t
was Alexis fight. He had gotten the
capitol for Bismarck and for years he
had to fight to keep it. And in doing
so he made friendships that have given
him strength in the affairs of the state.
He has never asked anything for Alex.
He has stood for Bismarck and for
Bismarck interests, working for those
who deserved his friendship, perhaps
a scalp or two occasionally at
his belt, but if they were won the par
ties knew who was after them and why.
He never sought to destroy republi-
can nominee. He has never failed to
give his support to the choice of his
party in any campaign or any situation
where republican principles were at
stake: He has never sought to make
money by any system of graft involv-
ing the use of public funds or the use
Of friendships won through his political
operations. / don't believe that the
good people of North Dakota are going
to turn down their successful represen-
tatives because Mr.. Spalding has an old
quarrel with lex Mckenzie.

see some North Dakota editor asks
the question "Who is this man Alex
Mckenzie any way?" When I went to
Bismarck in 1873 there was tall slim
young fellow there doing legitimate
business in small way, delivering his
goods himself in a wheel barrow, trying
to make an honest living. He came in
with the men who built the railroad, in
charge of a gang of track layers.
Strong as an OK, with head to man.
age, he was regarded as one of the
most efficient men on the works. He
was always temperate, always kind
hearted, going out of his way to help
others. A sheriff was elected that fall
and the board refused to approve his
bond. A successor was appointed and
he was drowned. Alex Mckenzie was
appointed in his stead. He held the
office for six successive terms. He did
not meddle with politics and no one
meddled with him. He was the choice
Of every one.
When S. G. Roberts was in the legis-
lature Alex went down to Yankton to
do his first bit of lobbying. He wanted
board of county commissioners ap-
pointed for Emmons county who would
locate the county seat at Williamsport.
Alex had no particular interest in
.Williamsport, but he wanted to 60 TO
Yankton and that was the only excuse
he could think of and so he went.
Fargo was always little fastidious in
its tastes, and Fargo wanted the agri-
cultural college, and Grand Forks was
ambitions and wanted a university, and
Valley City a normal school, and James
town had some lunatics at home and
thought the hospital for the insane
would be the thing for them. Alex
saw what was going on and concluded
to ask for something for Bismarck and
so he asked for the penitentiary and he
