business policy and honesty with
every resident and citizen of the state.
For political and local consideration,
the Trail county delegation stood
with the insurgent faction. Notwith-
standing this, the governor received
splendid Endorsement. The people of
the state, irrespective of any local
considerations, are satisfied that the
governor deserves denomination and
reelection, and he will be reelected by
a splendid vote in the whole state.

CONVENTION AFTERMATH
Notes Of the Late Republican State Convention
at Jamestown

AS matter of history it may be of
interest to record the lineup on the
organization of the, convention the
vote on temporary chairman. Gen. E.
A. Williams of Burleigh, was the
choice of the republican central COM
mittee and the so-called regulars and
Hon. R. M. Pollack of Cass was the
candidate of the so-called insurgents.
The vote by counties was as follows

In its convention report the Grand
Forks Herald, following it's usual
policy of misrepresenting the republi-
can organization Of this state, stated
that "the machine in desperation was
offering to sacrifice 'Stockwell". This
statement is altogether and unquali-
fedly false. Mr. Stockwell, as state
superintendent, was upon the first and
only list of officers the republican
organization agreed to support for re-
nomination. This was done before
the Walsh county delegation agreed
upon any candidate for support It
was done because it was in line with
the organization policy of supporting
good officials for a second or third
term as the case might have been. At
no time did the organization leaders
suggest or offer the retirement of Mr.
Stoclwell Mr.. 'Stockwell, like some
other of the republican officials
nominated, was nominated without re,
gard to local differences, but because
the people of the state at large and
the organization leaders in particular,
realized that zone good term deserves
another" was good policy. So far as
the Tribune is able to discover, the
only move against Mr. Stockwell dur
ing the campaign was that made by
the Grand Forks Herald, which en-
deavored early in the campaign to in
ject factional politics in the Walsh
county situation and to embarrass

tion and Mr.. StockweH by demanding
that candidates of the republican
party announce their adherence to GER
tain platforms that did not at all con
Germ the main issues in North Dakota
And the Tribune is further convinced
that those who protested to be the

would have sacrificed him without
hesitation had they been able to gaiI

The committee on resolutions in the
first draft failed to mention anything
about the primary election law and
Mr.. A. NJ Christensen of McHenry
county offered the following additional
plank for the platform, favoring the
extension Of the provision of the
primary law to include all state, dis
trict, and congressional offices and
| also recommendations as to United
States senator. The committee
recommend and finally presented the
following plank:
We further recommend to the next
legislature assembly that such
changes be made in the present pri-
mary election law as will in the judg-
ment of the members meet the re-
quirements of the people throughout
the state.
This the convention modified to
read as follows:
! We recommend the enactment by
the next legislative assembly Of a
direct primary election law, providing
for the nomination of all county, legis-
lative, district, state and congressional
officers, and preference for United
States senators.
| The vote on this plank and the one
leaving the legislature to make such
changes and extensions as in the
judgment of the members would best
meet the requirements of the senti
ment of all sections of the state was
as follows:

The first state convention to be he'd
under the primary election system is
now matter of history and it may in
terest those who were not present
at jamestown, to have their attention
called to some of the difficulties which
the delegates faced in trying to carry
out the provisions of the new law.
says the Fargo Forum.
Each delegate voted by secret bal
lot, and after the nominations had
been made, the delegations were
called by counties and the chairman
of each came forward and received
the two sets of tickets prepared by
| the two factions to be voted upon,
each chairman having one Of each of
| these tickets for every one of his
delegates. After al. of the delegates
had been supplied with these tickets,
large ballot boxes were presented to
the delegates and ech one put his vote
in the receptacle, and one teller from
each side was present to see that no
county cast more than the number of
ballots his delegates were entitled to
have in the convention. This pre-
/ liminary machinery took at least a.
half hour each time, and then the
tellers had the votes to verify and
count and this took from one hour to
one hour and half ~
1t was in consequence of this tedi-
BUSINESS that both sides agreed to a
blanket ballot at the evening session
and ali the rest of the candidates were
voted upon under suspension Of the

mouth" says the Philadelphia Record.
This remarkably owl-like bird is a
member of small family not far re.
moved from the nightjars. 1t is a
lazy bird, of nocturnal habits; al
though insects form it's chief food,
small birds, mice and such dainty
morsels are included in it's bill of
fare. In size it resembles barn owl,
for which, at first sight, it might
easily be mistaken. Its dull plumage
is in keeping with It's natural environ
ment. Its favorite resting place is
on the dead branch, of some tree, and
its resemblance to a withered stump
is wonderful. The eggs of this bird,
which is not often seen in captivity,
are two in-number, and White; they
are usually laid in nest of sticks
placed in the fork of tree, and both
parents take turns on the nest. The
frogmouth appears rather stupid by
day and it is by no means easy to
rouse it from its iethargy.

VICTIMS OF VILE PLOT
Former Governor of Idaho Killed by a
Dynamite BOmb-No known Reason
for the Outrage-Search for the
Criminals.

ROise. Idaho. December 3O.-Frank
Steunenberg. formerly governor of
Idaho. was killed tonight by a bomb
at his home in Caldwell. A dynamite
bomb had been placed at his front
gate with a ,contrivance that exploded
the bomb as he entered. Both legs
We're blown off, and Steunenberg lived
but twenty minutes.
There is no known reason for the
outrage, but it is charged to some
members Of the famous inner circle of
the Cour d'Alene dynamiters. whom
he prosecuted relentlessly in 1899 while
in communication with the police. and
is prepared to lend the full support Of
the state in running down the perpe-
traitors of the crime. The state will
offer a large reward. Seunenberg was
governor of Idaho from 1897 to 1901,
having been twice elected. He was
born in Iowa forty-ive years ago, and
had been in Idaho since 1887. He
leaves a widow and three children.
A special train left for Caldwell to-
night carrying the governor and 9TH
ers who go to assist in organizing the
work of running down the criminal
The latest information is that the bomb
was placed by the gate post. and that
the moving of the gate exploded it.
When persons rushed to the gate the
PROSTATE man said who shot me 2"
He also asked to be turned over. then
lapsed into unconsciousness and died
without giving any information.
The victims clothing and shoes were
torn to tatters. and his back was terri
bly, injured. Both legs We're shattered
frightfully. The shock of the explosion
was felt all over Caldwell. and broke
all the glass in one side of the former
governors home. Every road out OF
town is guarded to intercept every
suspect
Two men are under suspicion. They
had been about Namapa several days
and left for Caldwell today They lived
