cnlckenS tribe too early IN the
game.
Inventor" Helgesen did not prove
a very successful spell binder
The Grass Hopper Pan is "still
burden"
Grand Forks county appears to be
determined to sustain, at all hazards,
its well-earned reputation for its abil-
ity to keep off of the political map.
1t was "crool' and untoward fate
which compelled the Herald to revise
its election return headline of yester-
days issue almost to the verge of
complete emasculation.
Not the least of the many causes
for rejoicing over the general result
reputation Of that prince of ingrates,
county.
The republicans of Barnes county
showed their thorough appreciation of
renegade Nye by putting an effectual
quietus on his aspirations to misrep-
resent them at the state convention.
1t is noticeable that the croak of the
Morning Buzzard becomes more and
more raucous as the returns unfavor-
able to its gang of political freeboot-
ers continues to come in.
One particularly sad result of the
primary election is painfully visible
in the acute and apparently hopeless
attack of gangitis with which the NOR

Was it case of second-sight or
disastrous defeat that prompted the
Herald to declare that neither Win
ship nor Spalding will be candidates
this campaign"
Watch the machine lick Marshall's
shoes from this time FORTH" hysteri-
cally shrieks Boss Winship's personal
organ. Yes, and observe Winship do
ing similar stunt on the coverings
of the machine" leaders pedal ex-
tremities little later on.
The Cavalier Republican asserted
there was nothing in common, pOliti-
cally, between it's editor and Mr.. Hell
geson.
There is now-they were both
bumped by the republicans.
The traditional fly in the ointment is
very much in evidence in the choice of
Ramsey county's political ophidian-
Milt Crary-as a member of the state
delegation. However, in this instance
he is utterly Misunderstanding with the
hnnn1occ mir ff1y hor taI Of
feet of removing his fangs.
The editor of the decrepit old Her.
aid annex, yclept the Plaindealer,
thinks he thinks that the republicans
would like party of about his own
intellectual kidney for their guberna-
tional candidate. The egotism of those
pedantic ex-pedagOgues is certainly as
gigantic as it is proverbial.
One of the most disagreeable fea-
lures in the operation of the primary
election law lies in the fact that in
the very nature of things when two or
more good fellows are contestants for
the same nomination it is among the
impossibilities for more than one of
them to win out. The case of Brown
ie,", of this city, being a striking in
stance.
Steve Nye, he who contracted pro-
nounced case of Hansbroughphobia
ever since he looted the senator's
pOcketbOOk in the Devils Lake news
paper holdup, was defeated for dele
gate to the state convention in Barnes
county. A few years ago Nye ran for
Mayor of Valley City and was defeated
by a democrat. The people of Barnes
county have Steve sized up just right.
Latest reports from Bottineau coun-.
ty are to the effect that a majority of
the delegation are stalwafts. CRATER
Scott, the leader of the insurgents, was
defeated for state senator Thad
Michaels, who lost his voice shouting
the looting of Alaska also lost his
home town. These reform editors
didn't stand very highly in the esti-
nation of their neighbors.
Whatever has become of the cock
sure predictions of insurgent success
that were such monotonously regular
features of the Willow City Eagle.
Sherbrooke Tribune and a number of
the other small-fry, misguided organs
which the great and good Spalding
must have had in mind when he de-
clared that North Dakota newspaper
publishers were a hopelessly brainless
lot?
Manager Wilson of the Herald was
reading the election returns to wait
