|NSURGENT MACHINE,
4 Cane" Combination Maklr
Campalon on Reform
in State and County. >

The democrats, in thiA lty 10
not seem to be re-, -~~' ~ candi-
dates for any of t. or st..te
Offices, nor for ann,S ? We fee.
The activity in this fe-a%-.,~ comes
from the opposing political u !tion.
1t is also being seen that tt adnsur-
gent faction of the county is making
campaign for the local county
offices, with more real anxiety to win
than to secure the state delega zion
for the state insurgent machine.
This machine has been framed up,
creased and put in running order by
B. F. Spalding, Geo. Winship and
Frank White and a few others in
various parts of the state, who nave
failed to be nominated or renomin-
ated by their party conventions for
various offices. This insurgent COM
bine is exercising all the alleged
functions Of the most completely Or
ganized scheming machine that
ever started political campaign in
any state, but the leaders are not
specially known in Stutsman county
and the average republican voter is
satisfied with the present excellent
administration of the party and does
not take much stock in the state in
surgent arguments.
To deceive some body, the county
insurgent machine is making labored
appeals for state reform, for high
ideals in politics, for clean and open
methods and is loudly denouncing
what it calls the republican machine.
But to any one who has watched the
eally movements of this insurgent
machine, it is plain that the county
offices are the plums that the insur-
gents are really after, under the
guise of starting a machine working
for state delegation.
Thruout the state there is found
little actual criticism Of the present
Republican state administration. If

istra tions headed by Gov. White, who
had two terms in Office and who is
now an insurgent because he did not
get third nomination.
1t is the same in county affairs.
Most of the present officials have
held but one term and there never
was better administration of the
county's affairs. To find arguments
to turn the present officers out and
place insurgent aspirants in, is
hard matter.
When carefully examined the thiI
disguise of engaging in heroic, un'
selfish labor for the welfare of the
people of the state and county, by
the local leaders of the present insur
gent machine In Stutsman county
becomes quite joke.

Minneapolis, May 31.-Dr. ]. F.
Force, formerly president of the
Northwestern National Life insurance
company, has been found guilty of
embezzlement. Sentence was deferred
pending arguments on motion for a
new trial. The specific charge under
which DR.. Force was convicted was
the embezzlement Of 1876 shares of
Metropolitan bank stock from the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company while he was president Of
the Insurance company. The trial
brought out much sensational testi-
mony..

entire twelve were unanimous in their
opinion that the former insurance off,
cial was guilty as charged in the in.
dictment.

The Real Candidate For Governor.

AS the campaign progresses around
the state, the real object of the in
surgent leaders becomes more appar-
ant. The leaders of the so called
reform movement, are attempting to
becloud the minds of citizens OF the
state as to the. issues within the re-
publican party. Mr.. Hansborough
and Mr.. Mckenzie are both violently
attacked, yet neither is candidate
for any Office. The election of Mr..
Hansbrough's successor to the United
States senate does not occur until two
years from next winter. The only
real issue this spring is whether the
present state administration will re-
ceive the endorsement for another
term on the grounds of Tits excellent
management Of state affairs. The
real object of the insurgents cam
paign is the success of the per-
sonal efforts Of Messrs Spalding, Win
ship. White, ct al, to get nomina tions
for certain offices. Speaking of this
phase Of the campaign the Bismarck
Tribune says: !.
4 ".rhe object Of the anti-adminis-
tration campaigners is too plain to
deceive anyone. It is known that
Mr.. Winship has had for years an
over-weening ambition to be govern
or and Notwithstanding what candi-
dates may be groomed in various
counties and what Inducements may
be held out to them to become can
didates for..governor in behalf of the
insureent faction. when the final test
comes the Grand Forks editor will
be found in the lisGs as the simon
pure 'insurgent' candidate. The
same will be found true Of .ex-Con-
gresham Spalding, who is seeking to
align forces that will boost him back
to congress. Mr.. Tinglestad and Mr..
Steel are useful only in so far as they
can furnish local strength to the
overshadowing ambitions Of Mr.. Win
ship and Mr.. Spalding. n

These two votes alone show Mr..
Spalding out of touch with the inter-

his vote on the removal of duty from

While it is fair to give any man full
