The North Dakota Situation.

The North Dakota state convention
had a happy ending. The "regular'
captured all the Offices with ease, while
the insurgents got salve for their feel
ings in the adoption of the primary-law
amendment in the platform. 1t is a
question whether direct primary on
state officers would be any advantage
to the insurgent cause, but there is
evidently a strong demand for the
change, and in forcing the amendment
the insurgents saved the platform from
absolute inanity. AS reported by the
committee, the platform contained no
declaration of principles whatever. 1t
gave the party in North Dakota moth
ing to stand on except the personalities
of President Roosevelt, Governor
Sarles and the states delegation in
congress. The amendment indorsing
statewide primary gives the platform
its only talking point.
The convention demonstrated that
the present primary law of the state
is practical failure. The secret bal
lot in convention has no reason for ex-
istence. Voters have right to know
how the delegates they have elected to
represent them in convention have
voted. It would be just as reasonable
to require secret ballot in the legis-
lature for passage of bills. The fac
tional forces stayed in line Just the
same under the secret ballot as the
other way, and in actual operation the
balloting took SO long as to wear out
the patience of the delegates. Whether
the direct primary is extended to state
officers or not, the secret-ballot provi-
sion is sure to go.
The machine victory means that
North Dakota is still pro-railroad
state. The sentiment expressed by
Chairman Williams no doubt represent
ed the views Of the men who ran the
convention, tho it was put more BADLY
than they would like. According to
the chairman IS statement, any opposi-
ton to the wishes Of the railroad COM
panies must be condemned, because the
railroads are needed to develop the
& state, and to incur their ill will is to
retard the progress Of the country. In
e Minnesota and other western states we
have outgrown that point Of view.
Railroads are not run as philanthropic
institutions. The primary purpose of
railroad management is to bring re-
turns for the stockholders, and this
policy does not always coincide with
the interests Of the public. As COM
mon carriers the railroads must be sub.

The Busy Delegate from Williams.

stage, chairman of the Williams county

relevant. The county of Williams was
named for, General Erastus A. Williams,

fact: He presumed on the relationship

man didn't know whether to laugh or

matte smile.
Passes for Thousands.
The anti-pass agitation hasn't struck
North Dakota very hard, but the evil
is there in its gravest form. It is no
exaggeration to say that. a thousand
delegates and visitors came into James
town on free transportation. The state
committee hadn't taken the trouble to
get the usual reduced rate, but the
insurgents came in with a vigorous kick
on paying full fare, and the concession
was arranged. It was noticeable that
not many delegates presented creden-
tials for signature. Passes were free
as water. North Dakotans are wonder
ing what effect the anti-pass clause in
the railroad rate bin will have on
them. Probably passes will be limited
to North Dakota, and it may end the
St. Paul conferences. There is still the
chance, however, of fixing out ali Local
leaders with employees transportation
