BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE,
Of integrity that will put strength in
your appeal. Never lose your tenn
per-" Sincerity and absolute belief
in what one has to say, is, in Mr..
Warde's2 opinion, the most important
perquisite for a good speech. "a
Candidates and Fees-Recently the
attorney general rendered an opinion
to the effect that the exacting of fee
| for filing nominating petitions was
| unconstitutional and the matter is
| one of doubt in many counties. The
auditor of Grand Forks county will
insist upon the fee being paid, upon
the ground that that is the law, and
the law has not been declared uncon-
stitutional by the courts. Similar
action is being taken by other county
auditors. Candidates for county
nominations will be required to file
their petitions with the county auditor
not before May 20 nor after May 3d.
AS the last day for filing falls on a
holiday it will be necessary to file on
or before May 80
Mike Out of the Race-Many Bis
marck young ladies will remember
the dashing and debonaire Col. Mike
B. De la Bere, editor of the Sheldon
1 Progress, and otherwise notable in
political, military and social circles.
His visits to the Capital City have
been bright spots in the life of the
city's fair maids who have had the
pleasure of meeting the gallant
colonel, and it will be of interest to
them to know that he will be married
at Lisbon on May Is to Miss Louise
Medbery, prominent young woman
of that city, graduate of the Lisbon
high school and a charming and
cultivated lady. The Tribune re-
joices in the good luck of both these
young people and extends congratula-
lions in advance
Must Pay the Fee-County Auditor
Healy says all candidates must pay
the fee prescribed for filing nomi-
mating petitions, in spite Of the recent
opinion of Attorney General Erich
that this provision of the law is I'm.
constitutional. Auditor Healy says he
has no authority to dispense with the
fee until the law is repealed or the SUI
preme court declares it unconstitu
tional This provision of the law was
adopted with the view to providing
some means to reimburse the county
for the expense attending the cleo
tion," said he, in discussing the matter
cit would be foolish of me not to col
Ilect the fees as they would certainly
be charged up against me unless the
supreme court acts upon the question
and declares the measure illegal. The
fees can be paid under protest and il
the law is knocked out the money
will be refunded
A Drug Fiend-The white wife OF
George Wah, a Chinaman at work in
a local restaurant, was before the in
sanity board yesterday afternoon on
the charge of insanity. The woman
lis a mere wreck of humanity through
the use of morphine and could scarce
ly speak coherently. She is SO years
old but looked hundred, is much
Iemaciated and mentally of little az
count. It is not thought that she is
insane but has been brought close to
this condition through the drug habit
and the board ordered her confined in
the county Jail for few days under
medical treatment until a decision is
reached in her case. 1t is a most
pitiful case. The woman said she had
been married to the Chinaman four
years, but little of her past could be
cleaned from her beyond the fact that
she had three children by a former
marriage, the youngest of whom is
five years old, who are being taken
care of by relatives elsewhere.
Stung Again Last summer the
Wahpeton Gazette office was robbed
of considerable cash and now the
editor has more trouble as the fol
lowing postal. card, received today
shows: H.
81 learned last evening that two
very smooth swindlers have beer
obtaining money under false pre-
4 lenses in this county by claiming tt
be representatives Of the Gazette and
soliciting advertising for this paper
The men are both about thirty years
of Nage, smooth shaven and nicely
