1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Spalding
that neither the majority of the party,
he has heretofore aligned himself with
nor majority of the people. take his
complaints seriously. The people are
either very dull or Mr.. Spalding is
very much mistaken. Nobody but Mr..
Spalding appreciates the horrors of the
conditions in North Dakota. Light has
shown into the convolutions of his
brain that has not penetrated the
masses. None of them seem to appre-
ciate the Spaldingized fact that the
state is boss ridden and its public
men corrupt and grafters. and that we
are wallowing in political filth from
which his Muck-Rake is the only
means of escape Seriously, there is
nothing in Mr.. Spaldings campaign
of abuse except hatred upon which to
found new political organization.
Willis for Commissioner.
C. c. C.Wills. of Sawyer. has filed
for the republican nomination for COM
missioner in the 5th district. Mr..
Willis is former member of the
board, and stands for the Murphy
brand of reform. Mr.. Willis is man
of considerable ability, an old resident
of the county, and will put up strong
campaign for the position. His lead
ing opponent is D. NJ. Shorb of Sur
rey.
A Little Good Advice.
IT, you must vilify. condemn and
eternally disparage the regular repub-
lican organization. why, get out of the
party, and when you are outside. damn
it to your hearts content. But as
long as you claim to believe in repub-
lican principles do what you can to
maintain the regular organization of
the party.
Day and Night Shift.
The insurgent bureau of explanation
in the Scofield block has day and a
night shift. The whole force is work.
ing overtime, and tons of literature
are sent out daily. When it comes to
turning political tricks Manager Will
Jams is there with the goods, but
after the primary election is over it
will take him about month to find
out the real nature of the brickbat
that hit the Notwithstanding combin-
alton in this section of the state.
It's about as sensible to hunt ducks
with brass band as to go after votes
with a reformer who wants to make
the party into one large bible class,
with himself as teacher and substitute.
Joe Devine should make a note of this
Lately he has been sending up quite
few fireworks directed at the alleged
bosses Of the party. Devine would
like to go to congress. but the old
fellows who fought with him in the
days gone-bye cannot see it that way.
Devine's cutlery would be whole lot
more convincing If it did not come
from throat that has sung in the
party choir for long term of years.
A reformer isn't to be accepted as
having a divine call simply because
he can pound the pulpit and shout
loud enough to start the nails in the
mpurners' benches. There has been a
whole lot of nonsense talked on both
sides of the boss question in this
campaign, but what pretty scrap for
control there will be in case the un-
expected happens and the Murphy
Devine delegation to the state conven-
ton should win out at the primary
election on June 10. Major Murphy
had his eye teeth cut years ago, and
won't stand for any interference with
his plans at the jamestown convention.
in the event of an insurgent victory.
"The Cat" Will Appear.
The cat is almost out of the bag.
There has been for months more or
less curiosity as to the exact classifi-
cation of the menagerie concealed in
the political sack. The string will be
suddenly cut some of these days,
and then the common herd will find
out whether it's Devine for congress,
Williams for railroad commissioner or
ex-Judge Palda for attorney general.
All this Is dependent upon an insur-
gent victory In Ward county, which,
by the way, isn't likely to be the case
In the year of our Lord, 1906.
Same OLD Fight.
Alfred Blaisdell, secretary repub-
lican county committee, 10 leading q
strenuous life these days. Mr.. Blais-
dell says: TITS the same old fight
we had two years ago and the line
up Of the two factions Of the party
