THE STATE PRESS.

The Herald in its drowning gasps
seeking to clutch some one to drag
down to oblivion with itself, is at
tempting to rally a corporals guard
around the contention that there is
an Independent spirit abroad in this
state this year which is calculated to
sweep the republican party from DOW
er and place the demonstrated politi-
cal failures in power once more; that
men are breaking away from party
principles and each creating party
OF his own and attempting to secure
whatever advantages he can.
In support of this contention the
Herald states that number of the
newspapers of the state are united
in demanding the defeat of Judge
knauf. The falsity of this contention
is evident from the clippings taken
from number of papers and publish.
ed elsewhere in this issue of the Even
ing Times. Four of these were taken
from the first four papers taken at
random from the Evening Times ex-
change table, and the contents of
none were known until they were
opened for the purpose of securing
the state news from their columns.
A reading of these clippings will
show the temper of the state press on
the matter and incidentally the esti-
mate which it places upon the Her.
aid. While it is conceded that the
Herald has a perfect right to turn
democratic as it has done-no one
being responsible for it's moral recti
tude except itself--it is contended that
it has no right to play the fraud and
hypocrite by advocating the principles
Of democracy while posing as repub-
lfcan. For this reason the state press
will certainly appreciate the open
change which the Herald has made,
Realizing that the ship which it has
chosen as its own is laundering it is
now seeking to lure if possible a few
others aboard so that it may have
company In its misery. The public
will not be deceived by any alarm
by the Herald when s'stand-
Ink with the state press is understood.

The Herald Roasted.
Kuhn Messenger.1

D.. The Messenger is in recent of a
circular letter from the Grand Forks
Herald in which it is stated that 1.-The
president Of the local committee of
attorneys has prepared certain matter
bearing on the judicial situation in
North Dakota with special reference
to the candidacy of Judge Fisk and
Judge knauf for the supreme bench"
The circular goes on to say it is de-
sired to circulate as many of the sup
PIGMENTS as possible, and asks the
newspapers how many can be used
and on what terms. 1t appears that
the committee is willing to pay for the
circulation of their slush if necessary.
Thus the promoters of "nonpartisan
Judiciary" are removing their mask
and attempting to influence the news
papers to circulate their political
siush by the payment of small sum
If the papers will not circulate it
gratis. 1t is most likely that some OF
the smaller insignificant papers will
accept OF the proposition to circulate
this political rot for small sum
yes, trifling financial consideration.
10 be sure, some of the sorehead edi-
tors will circulate it regardless of
monetary consideration because such
tactics are symmetrical to their ugly
dispositions. But this kind of DOliti.
cal methods will not have any unfay-
0rable effect on Mr.. Knauf's chances
OF being elected. 1t will react on
those who are at the head of the move
ment. and when election day rolls
around Judge Knauf's friends will
turn out and relegate to the shades
OF political oblivion those who have
been resorting to the lowest methods
known to politics to bring about his
defeat.

WHICH Is 1T!

The Edinburg Tribune recently gave
space in its columns for commune
cation from democrat to roast the
republican state ticket, because as the
editor stated, he believed in square
deal for all and because the democ-
racy of his town did not have an or
gan in which to express their views.
Aside from the manly purpose which
prompted the editor to give the conf
munication space, he rendered the re-
publican party OF the state an invalu-
able service by giving the democratic
party through one of its Self-appoint-
ed spokesman. a chance to show the
shallowness and the hypocrisy OF the
fight it is making against the repub-
lican state ticket.
The correspondent wants Judge
knauf defeated because he is a re.
publican. He does not pretend to
know him. and makes no charge
against him whatever. But Judge Fisk
is democrat and the correspondent
is democrat. and the democrats
want an Office. and then he pleads for
republican votes to elect Fisk because
knauf is a republican.
Now comes the interesting feature.
| of the plea for votes. The cOrre-
| spondent is willing in exchange for
votes for Judge Fisk to urge all DEM
ocrats to vote for W. L. Stockwell for
state superintendent of public instruc-
| ton. That is generous. but the trou-
Bile is that the democratic party could
| not find any one who would consent
to be candidate against Stockwell
and he is therefore without opposi-
ton. And the peculiar thing is tina,
the same corrupt convention-accord-
ing to the fevered imaginations of the
hungry democracy-which placed
Stockwell on the state ticket also
placed knauf on the same ticket.
Whether the correspondent did not
know that Stockwell was without OPP
position can not be told. If he did not,
his advice as to the danger of knauf's
election is not worth very much,
though it is fully up to the standard
of the usual objections. If he did
know he had no opposition, it was a
deliberate attempt to deceive the vot-
ers and merits the severest contempt.

That Lawyers Movement.
IIamestnun Alert 4

The Grand Forks Herald and Times
Record OF Valley City supporting
nominees of the democratic party for
state positions, pretend to believe and
attempt to make it appear that the
judges of our supreme courts will be
better men and respond more readily
to the will of the people who elect
them ii such judges are selected by
a few lawyers, always specially con-
cerned in the decisions of such courts
If the nomination of judges were de-
pendent on the will or designs of a
group of attorneys, how long would it
be before such courts would forget
the source that elevated them to DOW
er and place? To the Representatives
of a great party, consisting of men of
all classes whose varied interest de-
mand impartial attention. lies the
safer plan of trusting the selection
of judges than to few counsellors
of the law, whose interest it is to en-
courage unnecessary litigation as we'll
AS to assist in the legal settlement of
natural differences that arise in every
community.
No matter what the present imper-
fections of our nominating system for
officials may be it is infinitely to be
preferred to one that allows a few
persons, representing some single in
dustry or some special calling to make
such choice for all
The question of whether the bar as
ISOLATION or the people should select
judges for the public has been thor
oughly threshed out in Chicago in the
last few years, and the decision is
plainly in favor of trusting the people
in their conventions rather than So
called bar associations. The history
of the courts of this state shows that
party selections have generally given
the people good results, the loud as
sertions of political opponents shout
ing for some of the candidates of an
other party to the contrary not with
standing.
The general satisfaction which our
district and supreme courts have CIV
en- in this state is the strongest recon-
mlendation of the party system of nom
nations. And until some manifest
outrage of justice, or a departure from
the good record Of the past is found.
there is no cause for any voter to
fear that our judges cannot safely be
trusted to the selection of the people
themselves.

There is note of effort and embar-

cepting the democratic nomination for
governor That was inevitable; how
could it be otherwise with a states
man who only last month was telling
the people that the democratic and re-
publican parties were both dead. or
as good as dead, snd that the time
had come to create new party. with
a new set of principles? In his speech

League-Mr. Hearst calmly read the
burial service over the party of Jeffer-
son, Jackson and Tilden. 1t had done
great things. he admitted. but had rot.

4 Natter Of Opinion.
[Towncr 'rribune.l

Since the state convention at James,
town last July there has been consid-
cradle talk regarding the position of
Judge Engerud of the state supreme
court, who maintains that he will not
sit on the bench with John Knauf, the
republican nominee, in case of the
latter gentleman election. In fact,
he did not attend the last session OF
that body and his reasons for this sort
of action are to anyone not familiar
with the exact conditions and the per-
sonal feelings of the gentleman, at
least peculiar. 1t is claimed that
knauf is unfit for the position and for
that reason Fisk, the democratic NOM
inee, should he elected. In just what
particular knauf is unfit we never
have been able to learn. He is cred
tied with being a good lawyer by some
and others maintain that he is not fit
for the supreme bench.
After summing it all up the Tri-
bune is of the opinion that the voters
will do we'll to stand by the ticket
they have helped to nominate, ana
that the fight on Knauf is but anothe.
instance of difference of opinion as
to what constitutes ability. In every
campaign since the state was admitted
there has been some one on the re-
publican ticket on whom the opposi-
ton conferred their fight. This year it
is Knauf. So vote for Knauf, anyhow.

The campaign of Candidate Burke
is forceful illustration of the fact
that the people of North Dakota posi-
lively refuse to be politically hum
plugged. When he began his cam
paign, his party had built around him
superficial halo which gave him the
appearance of a prince coming unto
MS people. He was the great honest
man, the one who with the wave of his
hand would remedy all the wrongs of
the people and give them back their
political heritage. All this was to be
done.

down the street on a wheel similar to
MI. Sullivans. Mr.. Ryan rushed into
the house snatched box OF tacks and
sprinkled them over the sidewalk in

The result was a punctured tire and

JUDGMENTS ARE RENDERED
Verdicts Rendered Against East Grand
Forks for 1851,

COokston Times: Judge Watts has
handed down decisions In four cases
since yesterday The most important
were the two suits brought by VIM. +.
Peet as assignee for man named
Thornton against the city of East
Grand Forks for money owed by the
city for paving done in 1902. The
cases have been in litigation for some
time and were first brought up in
Ramsey county and were decided in
favor of the plaintiff for the full
amount. Then they were transferred
to this county and the city was given
hearing. The city claimed that the
paving was not put down according
to contract and Judge Watts decided
one suit in favor of the plaintiff for
the full amount, $500 and the sec
ond In favor Of the plaintiff for Sc, 1861
which was less than he asked for.
The case will probably be appealed to
the supreme court. The other
two cases were suits, Harding
VS.. Ingersoll and Wolfe VS.. In
gersoll. Both suits were brought
on notes given by Ingersoll for land
purchased from them when they were
doing business under the firm name Of
. Harding and Wolfe. The suits were
decided in favor of the plaintiffs of
each action.

between this city and Fisher. had
never complained to the police but
that the squib was made up by the
