The rains OF last week were very heavy
over large area tributary to Crookston,
and in consequence the Red Lake river
has been rampant and causing damage
and Inconvenience to those living along
its banks. From seven O'Clock Friday
morning to Saturday morning at eight
the water rose twelve feet This, with
the already high stage Of the river flood
ed portion of the resident district
Of Crookston, and those that could NOV
ed to their second stories, while others
retreated to higher grounds. Side walks
and the baseball enclosure in the park
were swept away, and the sewers were
shut of to prevent backwater from flood
ing the business portion. There is no
danger of the rise in the Red }Lake at
fecting the Red here, as the sta re of the
water this spring is normal, but it will
have tendency to keep it up for some
time.

The Republican state convention of
1906 is now a matter of history. The
convention most emphatically endorsed
the administration of the present state
officials as we'll as our delegation at
Washington. While, personally, The
Times would like to have seen some
changes made in the state ticket, this
end of the state got all it asked for
our quota to the state ticket is satisfac-
tory to the Republicans as whole,
and we can not dictate to the north or
west end Republicans whom they shall
have on the ticket. The present Of
ficials have given us good business
administration; the majority of the
Republicans have said by their votes
that they want them for another term
and let all unite and give them boost.
If there are any differences left after
the convention bury them for another
two years and let it be fought out along
the lines of Republicanism. To assist
the Democrats to Office will not help
matters, in fact will only make matters
worse. Support the Republican ticket.
The Oakes times., 1906-07-19

The Times is gratified that a primary
election plank was inserted in the Re-
publican state platform. It was not
done without a hard fight at the con-
vention, and while the ''insurgents" {,
as they are known, favored the plank
and fought for it, it should make it
none the less inviting to Republicans.
There is a sentiment for primary cleo
tion in this state that can not be over
come much longer. The plank calls
for comprehensive law, covering
county, state, district, congressional,
and preference for the election by that
method of United States senators. If
the coming legislature does not give it
to the people of the state next winter
it will come two years hence. The
present primary law is a fzzle, but it
was fixed" for that purpose, and to
make the people tired of further pri-
mary legislation. But it must be con-
ceded that the principle is right. The
leaders in the state do not want a pri-
mary election law, and some of them
have right to fear it, but it will not
operate against those officials who have
given good service and whom the peo-
pie know and trust. The people want
Congressman Marshall to represent
them at Washington and the most
stringent kind of law could not dis
lodge him. The legislators must do
business at Bismarck next winter for a
wise primary election law, or those
who oppose it will be elected next time
to stay at home.

The Times is pleased to present to
its readers this week twelve page pa
per, four of which are devoted to Full
lerton and its business interests. This
town is having a growth that is not sur
passed by any in this section. 1t has
the right kind of a start, a progressive
set of citizens, and is backed by farm
ing community second to none in the
state. It has two rural free mail routes
and had the first rural telephone service
in this end of the state. The farmers are
intelligent and are doing the kind of
farming that pays. Each is adding
substantially to his acreage these years
of prosperity, and big barns and gran
aries are looming up on almost every
farm. The Times is indebted to Mr..
James S. Jensen for much valuable as
sistance in showing up the business in
terests of the gem village on the 500.

After twelve long years Captain
Dreyfus has been vindicated, and he
will be promoted to his position in the
army of France that is his due. The
whole world will applaud the verdict.
Captain Dreyfus has been the victim of
the worst conspiracy ever heaped upon
an innocent head. He was charged
with giving away government secrets
to Germany, the enemy of France, and
has lived to see the conspirators either
die by their own hand, convicted of per-
jury, or die in disgrace. To his good
wife and able counsel is due his release,
and the satisfaction that justice has at
last been done.
