IT is unknown at the hour of going to
press whether or not Cavalier county
has been successful in securing repre-
sentation on the state ticket being
nominated today at the jamestown con-
vention. Inside information has leaked
out in the last few days that the Cava-
lier county delegation expect to get
together IN the support of favorite son
for the state authorship. In case of
winning out it will be up to the republi-
can committee to fill vacancy on the
county ticket.

of his official family working toward

that they are an incubus and desires,
like any other business man to get
rid of them.

The position of California's attor-
ney general and the people of Cali
fornia that. they will not permit the
transaction of business in that state
by any company, that does not set
tie losses. due to the fire and earth
quake. in full, seems to be justified.
On the face of the declaration this
looks very arbitrary. But due inves-
tigation will assure the public that
many of the companies have no desire
whatever to pay their losses and are
inventing every possible subterfuge to
avoid paying them.
The mere prohibition against those
companies to do business in Calf
ornia, will hardly be sufficient to in
duce the companies that have heavy
losses to pay up. But a greater force
than this prohibition is back of the
move, II is public sentiment, which
will become a factor in every state,
where these companies do business
and which viii operate against them
materially. Already this feeling
against such companies is made evi-
dent by the notice given the National
Fire insurance company of Hartford
by the insurance commissioner of
Nevada that. unless that company set
tied fire losses in full that il must
cease doing business in that state.
We cannot understand why these
great companies should attempt to
repudiate their losses. The major
portion of the damages sustained in
California was by fire. This fire doubt
less was caused primarily by an earth
quake, but the fire loss was the re-
suit of that earthquake.
We believe that the sentiment of
the country will be largely with the
people of California in the position
they take on the matter. We should
be inclined to take the same. had we
been sufferers in the fire and the ca
tastrophe. In our judgment IL will
be far better for those companies

contained in very small acreage, not
only to provide a living, but a COM

seek other locations than those in
which they have been settled, they
will be able to present an entirely new
phase of agricultural possibilities.

the impression conveyed to them of
the wonderful development that
