DISPATCH YESTERDAY.

Persistent efforts TO-. interest sena-
tor Elkins in the contest Of organic
ing the Legislature have failed of sue
cess. To all petitioners the Senator
has replied that he will not take any
part whatever. His interest is con
fined TO his own reelection, and when
the Republican caucus has conferred
the honor upon him for third term
he will be content TO give his time
to the affairs of Congress.
The fight to organize the Senate
has grown rather bitter Of late. Since
Forman appears to be lost in the
shuttle the Presidency race is settling
down to Marshall and McDermOtt.
The latter is very close to Senator
Elkins, but Marshall voted for Elkins
when in the Legislature several years
ago. and many of MarshalPs hackers
have been loyal to Elkins throughout
bright or murky periods, so that he
prefers to remain outside the breast
works and let the directly interested
participants settle IT among them
selves.
The interference of Blkins might
be resented. The resentment could
hardly approach a dangerous stage.
for he has his denomination clnched,
but it could prove troublesome. SEN
ator Elkins will have the caucus to
nominate him called at the earliest
possible moment to avoid even the
risk Of complications. Should he
have any personal preference he will
hardly care TO display it.

Blizzard Managing Fight.

O'S@N'N "U'NS''5
The fact that Judge Reese Blizzard
is one OF Senator MarshdlIs chief
lieutenants testihes to what is in store
when the solons begin to gather for
the struggle week hence. Blizzard
has been fighting Dawson for nearly
three years. and the Governor has
fought him back at every turn. At
the last session a committee was ap,
pointed to summon Blizzard and Sen
ator Charley Caldwell to have them
testify as to their assertions of a COL
fusion in the distribution Of official
fees when Dawson was Secretary of
State and A. B. White was Governor.

There were % Republican Senators
until the death Of Senator J. D. Por-
ter of Lincoln, a few days ago. A spe-
cial election to fill this vacancy has
been called by the Governor, but Por.
ter's successor will not be chosen in
time to take part in the caucus, hence
1t will require 10 votes to win just
the same. Fifteen votes are claimed
by Marshall or by his boomers, which
leaves only nine for McDermott But
the significant thing about 1t all is
that the McDermott men are equally
optimistic and that the Marshall
boomers continue to be exersicei lest
their repuSed supporters slip away

Governor in the Fray.


Many pilgrims have journeyed to
Washington 10 induce him to take a
hand in the organization contests,
but he has told them all that he will
not mix in, and he has supplemented
these statements with letters to 9th
ers who used the mail route.
It is to be noted that Elkins refusal
to mix in is being used by the Mar
shall followers as an argument against
Governor Dawson's participation for
a favorite, but the Governor has good
reasons for concern.
Governor Dawson is certain OF a
cordial membership in the House. In
the Senate he could have substantial
grounds for expecting hostile treat
ment TO his legislative suggestions
and for policies to which his admins
tration Is committed. Although elect
ed two years ago this will be the first
Legislature under his wing, for In
West Virginia Governors term does
not begin with the Legislature elect
ed with him, but begins just after its
adjournment.
An unfriendly Senate can hold up
the Governors appointments if it has
the mind. There are such possibi!t-
ties in the event of MarshaTI's seiec-
ton in consideration of his selection
in the face of determined Guberna'
tofal opposition. Everybody famil-
lar with the situation realizes this,
and realizes also that the principal
policies which the Governor will pro.
pose will he doomed for rough sled
ding in case the successful Marshall
following obtains control after
strenuous battle.

NO FLAT CARS
They Are at a Premium Just
Now-Machinery Men Un-
able to Get Enough.

Flat cars are at a premium Just now
and machinery men are calling in loud
voices upon the railroads for cars to
ship out their machines. A prominent
manager of a big machine company
said today that he was having hard
time in filing orders and getting the
machines shipped promptly to the pur-
chaser. The. business is large this
year, larger than for several years past
and the rush to get orders delivered
is lively one.
Machinery houses all over the state
have been for the past three weeks
scenes of great activity. Harvesting
has commenced all over the state, vet
orders are still coming in for thresh-
ing machinery and keeping the branch
houses busy moving machinery on
cars and each day long trains Of fiat
cars loaded with harvesters and sep
arators are bound westward, north
ward and southwark.
In speaking of the situation the
manager of one of the large machinery
houses said:
Il have given up guessing. The
longer / stay in the business the less
! seem to know"
We stocked up heavily for this sum-
mer's business and l thought we had
more than We needed, but our stock is
getting low"

OUR FUTURE GREATNESS.

North Dakota is destined to be one
OF the great states of the nation. and
at no distant day. This fact is evil
denced by a visit to the western por-
ton of the state which until within
few years has been regarded as a
wild and to some extent non-produc-
tive section. suited only for grazing
and having habitations miles apart.
The surface of North Dakota is
such that when once brought under
proper cultivation. it will support a
family in luxury upon every half Sec
ton. and if sufficiently diversified, up
on every quarter.
The growth Of the western portion
of the state has been retarded materi-
ally by the settlement of people who
have no intention of remaining up
on the land longer than was neces-
sary to secure title from the gov
eminent and then depart. leaving the
land to become valuable through the
efforts of others in developing the
country. Such people serve no good
purpose in any country, and yet they
are always to be found. 1t is the man
who comes. makes his home and builds
the school houses and churches and
makes the roads who gives the country
its permanent character.
They are the ones who convert the
prairie into productive farms and
make the earth give forth its fruits to
man. They are now here and the
enormous increase in the acreage of
the grain fields of the state attest the
fact.
Iowa has ten thousand square
miles less area than North Dakota
and supports population of three and
half millions. 1t has forty people to
the square mile while North Dakota
has but eight. On the same basis as
Iowa. this state can support a popula-
ton of four millions.
Consider for moment what a
powerful state it will be when this
condition arises. In wealth and influ-
ence and power it will have few equals
and no superiors among the common
wealths. 1t will be to the west what
Ohio is to the east. 1t will be wealthy
beyond comprehension, both as state
and in reference to the people who in
habit it.

SMALL is IT
Well Known Newspaper Man
Now Sole Owner of Devils
Lake Inter- ocean.

4 deal was closed at Devils Lake to-
day by which s. j. Small, formerly
business manager of the Evening
Times, becomes sole owner of the
Devils Lake lnter-Ocean. one of the
best and Oldest weeklies in the state.
The consideration was $4,000. and Mr..
Small has purchased the interests of
Senator H. c. Hansbrough. formerly
partner in the paper.
The growing Importance of Devils
Lake. on account of the railroad ex-
tension and the location of the car
shops at that place. offers an excellent
opportunity for live newspaper, and
the Inter-Ocean being we'll established
and popular should prove a good in
vestment. 1t is probable that Mr..
Small will enter the daily field in the
near future and his ability as a writer
and all-round newspaper man should
insure the success of his venture.
The paper has needed the personal
supervision of competent man for
sometime, Mr.. Small having been To-
Gated here for the past six months
and absent from his interests there, the
business naturally suffered in conse-
Quence.

please come out into the woodland

IN RE BRYAN.

The home coming of William Jen-
nings Bryan will be made the oc-
casion of the launching of his presi-
dental candidacy, and will be of con-
siderable political significance. Just
what effect it will have on the voters
OF the country remains to be seen. Dis
cussing the return and the standing
of Mr.. Bryan as public man, writer
of prominence says:
Colonel Bryan has finally concluded
his wanderings in foreign lands and is
now on the briny deep headed for his
native shores. In a .ew days he will
land at New York, where some thou
sands of enthusiastic democrats are
waiting to receive him and furnish him
an entertainment intended both to well
come him home and to signify he is
still the chosen leader of the demo-
cracy Of this country Unquestionably
the travels of Mr.. Bryan have consid-
erably increased the confidence of
democrats in the abilities of the Ne
braskan farmer-editor- politician, but
just why this is so Is not logically APP
parent. unless it is on the theory that
distance lends enchantment to the
view.
As matter of fact Mr.. Bryan has
done nothing and said nothing during
his wanderings to entitle him to
greater consideration than before. His
published letters have been disappoint-
ingly commonplace and superficial,
very much like those OF any ordinary
guidebook tourist. and far inferior in
Wit or descriptive powers to those of
hundreds OF American men and women
VINO have written running accounts of
their travels in the same countries.
Nevertheless, the democrats are grasp
ing at straws in their desperate en-
beavers to keep from sinking into OBJ
iivion as national party. and mas

An INCONSISTENT .RErORMER.-

In noting the Inconsistencies of

The ways OF the average reformer
are beyond understanding.

subsequently Governor La Toilette. he
used to tramp up and down the Badger
state inyeighing against the "domin-
alton from Washington" and "bossism

he denounced.
He has entered the gubernatorial
contest. backing Irving l.. Lenroot as
his candidate.
Whereupon those who have fought
him long politically have resurrected
his speeches about "domination from
Washington" and asked him to en-
plain.
All that they have gotten so far is
pleasant smile and the information
that the Lii Toilette who is backing
Lenroot is not Senator La Toilette

the face and are not apt to jump at the
first cry of wolf. 1t has been heard
before in North Dakota and will be
heard again. but the people are still
inclined to think and to think most
seriously.
The hope OF democracy, pinned upon
the party breach which existed for a
time, but which has fast healed since
the deception practiced by the self
styled reformers was discovered, is a
forlorn hope and the election of Cover
nor Sarles and the entire republican
ticket is assured beyond the question
of reasonable doubt.

Confined fF0n sage IL
not known to have been a stock specu-
lator. although financiers say he was
one of the many who lost heavily in
the Consolidated Lake Superior cop
per stocks several years ago. Real
estate investments seem to have en-
gagged his attention and money almost
exclusively.
A meeting is in progress at the Office
of large national bank and it is
stated that sufficient funds have been
pledged to enable the real estate COM
pany to reopen its doors within, forty
eight hours. AS preliminary to this,
the court will be petitioned to dismiss
the temporary receivership.
A son of President Nipple had an
exciting experience when he emerged
from the bank building today. A man
in the crowd saw him and shouted,
There goes the son Of the rogue who
said he had no faith in men who smoke
cigars and chew tobacco" Immedi-
ately the crowd made a rush for young
Nipple and the police had hard work
beating the crowd back and saving
him from the mob's wrath.

Dickinson is soon to have Y. M. C.

Mr.. Allen has returned from the
western city where he has been week
looking over the field with view to
determining what the prospects were
for starting an association there.
While he did find things quite SO far
advanced as he had been led to be-
lieve as considers the prospects for
the establishment of an association
branch in that city sometime in the
near future to be very bright.
Dickinson is splendid and grow
ing city, said Mr.. Allen in speaking of
his trip. The country around there
is prosperous. Preparations for the
establishment of the Y. M. c. A. had
not progressed SO far as l thought
when l went out there but some pre-
liminary steps have been taken and it
will not be long before Dickinson will
have an association"
