Meyendorn begins with a state
ment Of those portions of the aff-
davit made by him before the Inter
state Commerce Commission at Salt
Lake City, referring to Senator War
rem. and 10 which Warren takes ex-
ceptions, and continues:
IF Senator Warren is correctly
quoted he asserted that in writing to
him I described myself as being an
old soldier of the civil war This
statement was never made by me. and
it would have been absurd for any
body 10 have made any declaration of
that character. The records of the
State Department show that II was
in 1865 that Abraham Lincoln obtained
my release from exile in Siberia, and
that 1 did not arrive in this country
until 1866. a year after the close of the
civil war.
Furthermore, I never solicited Sen
ator Warren or anyone else for the
position of a special agent or a place
in the consular service.
Mr.. Warren is also quoted as say
ing that he never read To me any pri-
vate letter OF mine addressed TO
Commissioner Richards. never said

@ 55sg ROAD. Il

Grand Forks Herald: Spokane rail-
road men are inclined to the belief
that the time is not far distant when
an effort will be made to make the
Great Northern road more of freight
line than it is at present, taking over
as much as possible of that traffic Of
the Northern Pacific which will give
the latter system more opportunity to
make a speciality Of passenger traffic.
1t is conceded that the latter road
| is more popular as a tourist line, and
that it does from three to four times
I the amount of freight business that
the Great Northern does. The North
ern Pacific, with its present facilities,
is unable to handle its legitimate bust
ness, while the Great Northern has
time and equipment to spare.
The PRONUNCIATION of an agreement
| whereby the Great Northern is to han
die all the transcontinental freight of
the Northern Pacific, leaving the lat
ter more free to care for it's passenger
trains. would not be a surprise to
railroad men. And in exchange the
Great Northern would throw as much
of its passenger traffic to the North
ern Pacific as possible.
The Northern Pacific handles enor.
nous quantities of freight from the
east and Pacific coast for Butte and
Montana common points, 1t is said

Public opinion is a queer PROPOSE
ton. 1t is frequently wrong-usually
right. Prejudices are easily engen-
dered among the people and it is
much easier to campaign against an
official than to boost him. Little
things, comparatively, sometimes are
>magnified into the greatest i'm
portance. In the campaign just
closed for nomination of county COM
missioner for instance, the most
damaging incidents affecting the votes
of thinking, Independent, unpurchas-
able citizens has been the charge that
the county commissioners have either
directly or indirectly purchased goods
of firms in which they are partners
and thus passed. upon their own bills
And while it has been shown that no
excessive prices have been paid, and
while the amounts involved are small
this violation Of the spirit Of the law
has been used to the disadvantage OF
the candidate in opposition to Mr.
Patterson, and the latter benefits not
on his own merits but rather on the
dement's of the opposition. A small
matter in fact it has been enlarged
beyond all consideration of fairness
or justice and Mr.. Patterson is the
beneficiary of large, prejudice vote

:szas| IT,
ELECTION DAY.

the result of the first primary cleo |
ton held in the state, both with !
regard to local candidates. and
IN the larger field of the state. |
One of the results of primary cleo
ton system, as demonstrated through
the state, is the putting forward of
the personal element, in politics. 1t
u.s. in fact, an election within the
political parties themselves, wherein
all candidates for the party nominal
ton must put forward their claims to
selection, and where, as natural re-
suit, DIT becomes necessary to en-
tighten voters of the party as to the
nature and character Of the men who
infreauently disagreeable duty and
one which might be shirked, on the
ground of personal inclination, but
fairness to the people demands that
they vote with proper knowledge of
the men and measures they are vot-
4 ing for. Having placed the matter
fairly before them, it is for them to
make a choice inteiligently and with
a full knowledge Of " the: result.
Primary election creates an artificial
warfare within the ranks of each
political party, where they are at all
evenly divided, and one of its results
sWin be the creating of sore spots in
the parties, instead of as between the
parties under the old system. Natural
5sIIsappointments will have their re
ssult afterward, and the effect of
primary battles is more than apt to
DE the splitting UP of parties into
! factions. The tendency of the sys-
tenn, as demonstrated in the state,
will be the weakening instead Of the
strength of party Affiliations.
In the state at large, the matter of
principal interest is in the selection
i of delegates to the state convention.
IA bitter battle has been fought in
many counties and today's ballot will
determine who is to control the state
convention, whether it is the organ
{ ization that stands behind the present
state administration and vouches for
its fairness and good government, or
an "insurgent' element that seeks to
overthrow the organization and re
place the administration with another
representing no particular element ex-
rept that Of dissatisfaction and dis
like of the party leaders. In the
state, as well as in local campaigns,
the issue has been so drawn that ii
has been necessary to expose the
i sham pretenses Of many would-be
4 leaders who have been preaching IRE
form in the hope of convincing
voters that the present administration
is unworthy and that the reins Of
government should be given over into
the hands of men who are, for the
most part, disappointed candidates
for Office. This has not been at all
times an agreeable task, but it has
been rendered necessary by the as
sumption on the part Of the Gin
4 surgent" leaders of the corruption to1
" the republican organization and Of
The indebted purity OF their OWL
ssadsrs. g j Nh Y 25&ls.
s8 The Tribune has no doubt Of the re
suit in the state, and that the voters
will declare by their ballots their
faith in the state administration and
their refusal to be led from their duty
by the wanton and vindictiye attacks
sof the ttinsurgent'' campaigners.
