Williston, N. D., Nov. 1.-The repub-
lican rally held at Williston last eve
ming filled the court house to over
flowing. The meeting was an unusu-
ally effective one in which the speak,
ers dealt with state issues fearlessly
and plainly, and without any appeal
to passion or prejudice. Facts, rec
ords and common sense were the order
of the evening. Previous to the politi-
cal speeches, the Williston orchestra,
which is a most creditable musical
organization, played several pleasing
rendered a most delightful vocal num-
ber. The speakers of the evening
were then introduced by County Chair
Metzger with brief and fitting remarks.
The first speaker was Attorney L. A.
Palmer of Williston, who in a brief
but plain way referred to the records
of the parties which the voter will
choose between on November 9Th. He
called attention, to the prosperity of
this district and city which now en-
joys a greater progress than ever be-
fore in its history. And he pointed out
the causes that had brought it about
such as, the United States land Office
which since it has been located here
has had a greater influence than any
act before. Who Is responsible for
this? The credit belongs to the re-
publican party and the senator who
represents us. Also the irrigation
project which will cause an expendi-
ture OF about three and one-half mil
lion dollars and will bring under the
highest cultivation about forty thou
sand acres making this one of the
richest sections in the state. Credit
is also due the legislature and the Hon.
MIR. Chapman who is now running for
the Office of representative, who at
that time was the chairman of the
irrigation committee in the house, and
was instrumental in bringing about
favorable laws for this project. Many
of you have homesteads, you came
here, possibly, with very little Of the
worlds wealth and have simply by
fling and cultivation of these home
steads become independent This same
republican party gave you this home
stead law.

ises and say that they admire Roose-

tramways, workmen's dwellings, water
supply, electric light, and minor So
called 'remunerative" undertakings.
The taxpayers Of London pay close up
on four million pounds sterling every
year in interest upon and repayment
Of this debt. An eminent American
sociologist has published a volume in
which he predicts bankruptcy for Lon
don's communal enterprises, and an
equally prominent Italian sociologist,
who recently visited London, states
that the borrowing propensities of the
metropolis will sooner or later bring
about crisis.
Glaring examples of wasteful num-
cipal expenditure are to be seen on
every hand. But recently a new build
ing was opened by the borough coun-
Gil in Battersea. 1t Is fitted up for
billiards, bagatelle. chess, draughts
and other games. The cost OF the
building and its maintenance will come
out of the rates. Poplar, the most
rate-ridden district of London, is
another glaring example of the ineffec-
tiveness of municipal trading. Despite
its rate of twelve shillings In the
pound the district owes $3.50. 900. Six
teen years ago the borough's indebt-
edness was only $208.4l5. This virtual
state Of bankruptcy has been brought
about by the borough's erection of
handsome baths. libraries and other
public institutions. including. appropri-
ately enough, magnificent workhouse.

Washington, Nov. 1.-When Presi-
dent Roosevelt goes aboard ship next
week and starts for Panama he will
be doing something that none of his
twenty-five predecessors in the exec
Mtive chair ever attempted, and that is
to journey beyond the boundary lines
of the United States during his term
of office. Mr.. Roosevelt, on more than
one occasion since he assumed Office,
has shown that he is not the man to
search for q precedent when he be-
lieves it is necessary to act. But
never before has he so completely up
set tradition as in the case of his trip
to the isthmus.
president must not leave the United
States even for a day. But this re-
striction Is not imposed by statute. 1t
Is only an old, unwritten law which
has been respected by all successors
of George Washington.
President Mckinley emphasized his
respect for this rule on his memora-
ole tour to the south and west. 1t was
Mnofficially announced that he would
meet President Diaz of Mevico some
where near the boundary Of that sis
ter republic. A controversy as to
whether Mr.. Mckinley might properly
cross the Mexican line, even for a few
hours, arose.
From Ell Paso there extends into
Mexico the International bridge span
ming the Rio Grande. Whether the
President would dare to cross this
structure or not was the question that
members Of his party asked one
another. He did not. He went to the
bridge and caught view of the Sierra
Madre. Half way across the bridge
was a line. Stepping over this was

The speaker spoke highly of what he
had found in the county administra-
tion, most of whom had held only one
term with credit to themselves and
urged that they be given second term.
The next speaker was the Hon.
Eratus A. Williams, who was intro
duced as the pioneer of North Dakota.
and the godfather OF the county OF
Williams. He was received with great
applause. General Williams, after con-
graduating the people of Williston on
their property, spoke of his affection
for this locality. for thirty-four years
ago at fanktOn, he had the honor to
represent this district, when it was Il
part OF Buffalo county, from which
thirteen counties in South Dakota, and
fourteen In North Dakota was formed.
At that time 1t had a small popula-
tion but now hundreds of thousands.
He referred to the record of the re-
publican party, which since 1861 has
governed the state except two years of
territorial and two years of statehood,
when the democrats were in power He
cited, also, two prominent measures,
one law for the relief of a certain
district devastated by gophers and
drought. the other part of the terri
tory being prosperous and the treas
ury bursting but still the democratic
governor, Church, delayed the signing
OF the bill, not daring to sign 1t and
let the republican legislation pass it
over his head. The other measure was
In the democratic administration of
Gov. Shortridge, when they reduced
the railroad tax, instead of raising it
as the republicans have done. He
spoke OF John Burke's program as pub
lished. and replied to it in convincing
manner item by item. It was thus dis
posed of satisfactorily and effectively
to the audience, space will not permit
every detail of the speech but if the
! admirers of John Burke could have the
pleasure of hearing General Williams
fully meet every point made in this
wonderful and rather egostical demo-
cratic document it would silence the
talk that the republicans are not dis
cussing state issues. General Williams
spoke highly of Gov. Sarles as inaugur-
ating many needed reforms at the cap
ital and declared he was the best bus
mess executive that the state ever had.
He spoke highly of Food Commissioner
Ladd and the pure food law of the
state. respected all over and having
Influenced the national law and said
that the democrats did rot hope TO
defeat Sarles nor have they any chance
of the defeat of Judge Knauf. This at
tack against Judge Knauf comes from
an ex-judge, who said that he respect
ed money more than honor and thus
handed back his commission as judge.
