GOV. SAR[ES SAYS
FAMILY TROUBLES
ARE OVER
Finds Republicans Lined Up
All Over the State Ready
For the Fray.

Fargo Forum: All is harmony in
the ranks of North Dakota republic
cans. Since the primary fight all sec
tions OF the party have been reunited
and the republicans of the state will
present a solid front of battle when
they meet their old opponents, the
democrats, at the polls in November.
Our family troubles are over"
This is the way Governor Sarles ex-
pressed himself regarding political
conditions in North Dakota when seen
at the Metropole yesterday.
THE differences in the republican
party were settled at the jamestown
convention" he. continued. land all
republicans now stand shoulder to
shoulder in the coming election.
have just returned from a trip to the
northern part of the state through
Bottineau. McHenry and Ward coun-
ties, section of the state where the
opposition to the stalwart ticket was
the strongest. While there l talked
with the leaders OF the so-called in
surgent movement and they assured
me that the republican majority in
that part of the state would be much
greater at the coming election than
1t was TWO years ago.
Il have heard much the same thing
from other parts of the state. The
insurgents will support the ticket
which was chosen at Ne republican
convention just as they would have
expected and received the support OF
our section of the party had they
triumphed at Jamestown"
Governor Sarles went to Bottineau
for the purpose of comforting with the
chairman Of the board of trustees of
the new state school of forestry, and
he was much impressed with the ac-
tivity and interest in the new educa-
tional institution which was exhibited
there. From what he says it is evil
dent that the people of Bottineau are
determined to have a splendid educa-
tiOnal institution established in their
city. They have donated fourteen
acres of ground and have asked that
the state purchase eleven adjoining
acres lying along the banks of a
stream which is bordered with trees,
the entire twenty-five acres making
an ideal site.
Citizens of Bottineau have also fur
nished $500 in cash which is being
used in the erection of a building. A
heating plant is being installed, seats
and other furnishings are being put
in and it is the intention to begin
holding sessions there this fall. While
primarily the institution will be a
school of forestry many of the other
branches of learning will be taught
there. 1t will be similar to the A. c.
in this respect and will enable young
people residing in that part of the
state to obtain a higher education
without going far from home.
1T is a splendid idea to have this
school at Bottineau," said Governor
Sarles. 1.-THE educational institutions
of the state are congested. When the
constitution was framed all the state
institutions were punched in what
was at that time the only settled por-
ton of the state. Conditions have
changed since then: the other parts
of the state are fast becoming thickly
settled and the need of more state
institutions of higher learning is felt.
When the next legislature meets
l hope and think conditions will be
such that it can appropriate some
money for the schools at Wahpeton
and Bottineau. Two years ago there
was only money enough on hand to
make the necessary appropriations
for those state educational institu-
tiOnS which were already established"
