When the present democratic candi-
date for supreme Judge was q candi-
date against Judge Young it Will be re-
membered that the same attempt was
made by the democratic party to St
cure his defeat and the same tactics
including the hollow mockery OF
non-parlisan judiciary-was raised. and
the same absurd claims made that
he was an unknown and inexperienced
attorney. that are being used now

mere collection attorney and did not

lie by contending tina; Judge Young
was one of the greatest jurists the
country has ever had To sensible
men and to those VINO believe in a
square deal, it shows that the present
attacks upon Judge Knauf are inspired
by the same motives as those which
were so vehemently used against Judge
Young. Moreover it should prove
to the people of North Dakota that
the charges are based up prejudices
and not upon facts Just the same as
were those used by the same parties
in the other campaign in which the
present democratic candidate was de-
feated.

thousand times since he has been
the head OF the nation.
Contrast this with the conduct of
his opponent who has sacrificed all his
political independence for an Office;
who has renowned his political prin-
ciples for the same reasons: who has
not been willing to accept the verdict
of the people of the party with which
he has heretofore been connected and
so down to defeat with the same, but
has begged OF his political opposition
for the Office which he can not get
on a clear-cut vote of his own party.
John knauf did not ask for his
nomination nor has he disowned his
political principles to secure IN cleo
ton. He is no, ashamed of his party,
its principles or its work. He is not
asking the men he has fought POLITICAL

his opponents have often carried the

as desirable on the bench as in the

TICKET WILL BE ELECTED.

The Evening Times does not care
to stultify itself as newspaper by
making preposterous claims of the re-
suit of the battle of ballots next Tues
day. 1t will not allow its news
columns to misrepresent the election
returns even when they are against
its own convictions Such actions
only prove that unworthiness of a
Journal to the public.
1t does not propose to claim that the
results Of the election will be other
than what the conservative conditions
in the state at this time indicate. The
absurd claim made oy the morninh
democratic sheet that there would be
democratic landslide is in keeping
with the falsifications of the news
columns of that paper to hide the re-
suits of the primary election last
June. No man with any political judg-
ment will believe for a moment tina,
there will be landslide. That is
the most absurd exageration.
Men who have been studying the
situation during the entire campaign
are convinced that the entire republic
can ticket will be elected. They do
not belittle the fearful fight which
has been waged by the democrats and
such party traitors as the Herald
They have given them all the credit
and conceded all the votes which they
have actually made. But with all
these concessions the republican ticket
still has a safe majority.
1t must be remembered that in
state with a voting population no
g:aater than it is in North Dakota, the
changing OF {. majority of more than
thirty thousand means turning of
sentiment which can be seen without
hunting for it, Much store has been
set by the result of the bolt of the rail-
road lawyers, but when it is pointed
out that there are only six hundred
OF these in the state and that less than
one-third of them are favoring the
democratic candidate and that more
than half of these are already demo-
Gratis. it does not appear how one
hundred men can change a majority of
thirty-two thousand.
Other contentious are just as obsurd,
Nearly every man who is talking
about the landslide which is coming
is democrat and every one is familiar
with the fact that every democrat
carries the election-before the votes
are cast. These same men who are
now claiming that they will carry

MICHIGAN ENDEAyORS.
Associated Press TO The Evenine Tin

Lansing. Mich, Nov 1.-The capital
city of Michigan is in the hands of the
Christian Endeavorers. Delegates to
the biennial state convention have
been arriving throughout the day, and
the indications are that the attendance
will eclipse that at any previous con-
vention. The city is in gala attire In
honor of the guests. the decorations
being elaborate on both business
houses and residences. The largest
delegations are from Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Kalamazoo and Jackson. Other
cities throughout the state, however,
are we'll represented. The opening
day was given over chiefly to the re-
ception Of the visitors and the COM
pletion Of the convention arrange
ments. The four days program has
been arranged on the institute plan
with addresses by leaders in different
lines of Christian Endeavor work.
Among those to be heard are Miss
Grace c. Glenn, formerly missionary
to Japan; William Shaw of Boston,
treasurer of the national and worlds
unions of Christian Endeavor, and Rev.
c. H. Hubbeld Of Columbus, field secre-
tary for Ohio.

SOME FACTS TO CONSIDER,

The nearest man to the ideals and
practices of President Roosevelt in
North Dakota is John Knauf, republic
can candidate for supreme Judge. The
same traits which have made Theo-
dore Roosevelt the idol of the Ameri-
can people are possessed in a mark
ed degree by him. President Roose-
welt has never wavered when he be-
lieved he was right no matter how
severe the criticisms of his opponents
nor how malignant the attacks made
upon him.
Judge Knauf has STOOD for principle
always. He has hao the manhood to
defend his position when he took it. A
few years ago when he was offered
splendid opportunity on the coast
and went out to lock the field over,
his political opponents, among whom
was Judge Glaspell, announced that
they had driven him out of jamestown.
Instead Of accepting the offer made
in the west he returned to jamestown
and proceeded to show the few people
who were opposing him that he could
not be driven out When Roosevelt
was nominated for vice-president that
he might go the way of all others who
had been given that Office, he proceed
ed to show the American people that
he could not be put In cold storage
could not be driven out-and today
every genuine American wants to take
him by the hand and slap him on the
back to prove to that fearless and
manly leader that he has a friend in
every man who loves fearless and hon.
orable manhood and adherence to
principle.
Judge Knauf has been republican,
not afraid to act in behalf of the party
and ready to defend its honor because
be believed in its principles. Does
any sensible man condemn him for
UNFOLDING with all his might and
power what he believes to be rigbto
He is a republican from principle.
The hope of Office has not caused him
to betray it when he could accomplish
a selfish ambition by doing so. He has
not become a republican to secure
an office. If his party were in the
minority he would be the last man to
attempt to secure an office by the be-
trayal of it's principles and re-
pudiation of its doctrines. He would
go down In defeat rather than win
victory and the e.mne by a fals,.
position.
Secure in his own integrity and per-
sonal purity, he has treated with
silent Indifference the groundless
charges which have been made against
him, knowing that they must only
react upon those who have uttered
them because of their untruth. He
has gone about the duties imposed
upon him by his Office and has given
his entire attention to them. Roose-
welt in the same position would have
done the same thing. He has done It

The remarkable thing is that in all
the criticism made by the railroad
lawyers who are engaged in the work
of framing the state supreme court to
their liking, they have not found a
single client who ever employed Judge
knauf as attorney who was in the
least dissatisfied. On the contrary
they are all his best friends and
warmest supporters in this campaign.

perfect right TO represent a railroad.
That is his business. But would it not
have been the honorable thing for
him to have resigned as such at
torney when he became the demo-
cratic candidate for governor? There
would have been some grounds then
for accepting as sincere his state
ments that he was against the rail-
roads. AS matter of fact, it is not
very honorable to retain a client and
oppose his interests.

The election Of Burke means the
turning over to the democratic party
in this state of the Agricultural college,
the penitentiary, the hospital for the
insane, the reform school. the blind
asylum. the academy of science, the
Mayville Normal school and some
minor concerns. They are business
institutions and should be managed
as such rather than as law suits. That
is the difference between the admin
istration Of Sarles and what Burke
would give.

Democratic candidates on the county
ticket are using the argument with
the voters that men in this county
who are posing as republicans, and
the Herald which poses as a republi-
can paper are openly cutting the
candidates on the state ticket and that
if they as republicans can do so with
the state ticket, there is no reason
why these voters should not do it with
the county ticket and help elect the
democrats, as there is no difference
in the two plans.

1t is stated that some of the voters
who have been educated to the belief
that they must cut the republican
ticket have gotten the idea that the
way to do that is to put cross at
the top of the democratic ticket. 1t
Is easy to see what the result of such
methods will be. The voter will not
only vote for those on the ticket which
the Herald and its little cotorie of
party traitors have advocated, but
they will vote for the entire democratic
county ticket. That al Just what the
