AND THE PEOPLE kNOWH.
The Insurgent Leaders Trying to Msead the People for
FurtheranCe of Their Own Unfoly Ends.

The term "gang" can be equally as
we'll applied to the insurgent opposition
as to the regular republican organiza-
tion of the party; in fact considering
the tactics the insurgents are emyloy-
ing at present to build up an organiza-
tion, the term can be more properly
used to refer to them than any other
descriptive term.
The present state administration has
been run along good business lines and
the insurgent leaders, having failed to
point out any real grievance or mis-
management of the party affairs are
compelled to resort to cry against the
"gang." With this sole argument the
leaders are striving to get control of
the state convention to nominate GER
tain aspirants for office chiefly men
; who have failed to secure denominations,
or have not yet been recognized with
nominations by the pal ty in it's bienniel
conventions.
In some states and cities it becomes
necessary to turn down what are in re-
ality gangs of political freebooters who
get in Office and assume right to plum
der the public from the power conferred
on them by law or custom. But the
present assault on the party organiza-
tion of this state is without any good
cause or reason, and under circum-
stances the voters are not going to re-
spond to the frantic appeals of the in
surgent leaders as they hope.
It is claimed that the people are 60
ing to display great political upheaval
and that many counties are going to
pass into the control of the insurgent
leaders this fall. But experience shows
that no upheaval follows when there
is no good reason for it, or without
there is wide spread of knowledge of
necessity for such movement at the
polls.
There may be few counties where
local political factions are striving for
precedence, and where the insurgents
will try to take advantage of such local
differences to gain a following. But
these counties are few. The present
party organization has given to the re-
publicans of the state generally honor
able and capable efforts and the results
are open to inspection.
The republicans of the state are not
going to disrupt the present organiza-
tion to please few insurgent leaders
who use the term "gang" as their only
argument.

Jamestown Alert: Colonel Robinson
of Mayville was westbound passenger
today to Hunters Hot Springs, Mont.
where he will spend a week or more.
He says that seeding is we'll along in
Traill county, and except some of the
lowest spots, the prospects are very
fair for this time of the year. Colonel
Robinson is one of the heaviest lumber
men in the state, having business inter-
ests in Fargo and the Red River valley,
but is surprised to note the growth of
the central part of the state and the
evident movement of the population
westward. He says Jamestown has
greatly improved since his last visit.
Colonel Robinson is member of the
republican state committee, and while
personally in favor of holding the party
conventions in the Red river country,
can see the force of the demand for the
location of the conventions of the state
at a more central point, and believes
that from now on Grand Forks and
Fargo will have to get up and work if
they want to control locations of state
conventions as frequently as heretofore.
Colonel Robinson is in touch with a
good many business and farming inter-
ests in the Red River valley, and does
not believe that the so-called insurgent
movement will ever turn the present
political organization of the party of
the state. There is not enough merit
in the attempt. The main argument of
the insurgents, he says, seems to be a
senseless, but often repeated cry
against the ''gang." This is merely a
term intended to cast a reflection on
the state republican organization, with
no good ground or argument to back it
up. Without an organization, says the
colonel, where would the party be?
The insurgents use the word "gang"
in an offensive sense, to create preju-
dice against the older organization and
at the same time to cover up their own
secret work of selecting candidates for
the various Offices, giving the rank and
file no voice in the choice and domineer-
ing over the faction of the party they
are trying to form, for purely selfish
purposes. Everyone who knows the
insurgent leaders is we'll aware that
they are not men who would cheerfully
become martyrs in holy cause, or
who devote their time and efforts to
their fellow men for purely humanitar-
ian purposes.

MANY PROOFS REJECTED.
Strict Compliance with Statutory Requirements Exacted
in COMMITTED Proofs.

Forum: Homesteaders who are max
ing communication proofs and who have
not resided upon their homesteads con-
tinuously for a period of six months as
required by law, are very likely to have
their proofs rejected by the depart
ment of the interior.
Register Schuyler of the local land
Office has recently received number
of decisions rendered by the depart
ment, which show conclusively that the
claimants who have not complied with
the law are receiving notice to the ef-
feet that their proofs have been re-
jected.
The intent of the law allows parties
six months before they are required to
establish a residence upon their home
stead.
In case they remain upon their land
continuously for a period of eight
months their proof will be accepted,
but the department has ruled that
where a claimant goes upon the land
and remains for shorter periods, the
proof will be rejected and the home
steader must return to- the land and re-
side upon the same continuously for a
period of fourteen months.
During the past few months a num-
ber Of communication proofs have been
returned to the local landoffice, from the
department Of the interior, marked re-
jected. In several instances the par
ties had resided upon the land for
eighteen to twenty months, but the res
idence had not been continuous and
consequently the department refused to
accept the proof.
Below are given the decisions in sew
eral cases, which should prove of inter-
est to homesteaders who are contem-
plating making commuted proof:
In the case of Fred g. 'Burghardt,
unreported departmental decision. Feb.
2, 1906, when entryman showed no &C.
tual residence upon the land, claiming
that his absence was necessary in or
der to support his family, and that he
could not have made better use of the
land if he had been there every month
than he did, it was said:
Moreover, parties committing entries
cannot be excused from any cause for
failure to live upon, improve and cult
| vate the land for the required period. "
In the case of Katie F. Brecht, un-
reported departmental decision, Feb.27,
1906, the entry was made in November,
1903, residence established within six
months thereafter, and the claim made
that the same was followed by eight
months of residence emitting her to
commute. The department held:
In such case the law not only re-
quires that it shall clearly and salts
factorily appear from the proof that
The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1906-05-18

| the bona fde residence was established
within six months from date of entry,
but also that the actual residence upon
the land has been continuous from the
time it was established until the date
of the final proof"
These decisions are not construed to
mean that the claimants must be pre-
sent upon the land every day during the
eight months, or fourteen months resi-
dence, as the case may be, which should
follow the establishment of the same.
If claimants in good faith go upon the
! land with their household effects, take
up their actual residence thereupon and
should thereafter, by reason of necessi-
ty of going to market, making living,
or by illness be temporarily absent, and
should thereafter submit proof showing
the requisite period of absence, it
would appear that where claimants go
to the claim within six months after
making entry, stay from three days to
week, then go away and remain alb
sent for number of months, making
visits to the claim varying from a few
days to few months, their actions do
not indicate good faith, nor can it be
regarded as the maintenance of con-
tinuous residence upon the land. 1t
rather evidences desire to obtain IT,
tie by an evasion of the letter and spirit
of the law. Each case must, however,
be decided upon the facts therein pre-
sented, and it is impossible to lay down
a general rule which shall govern all
cases arising in the execution of the
laws.
