THE DANCER IN Indifference
DESPITE PRIMARY LAW SAFEGUARDS
Democrats Have Much at Stake Choosing of Candidates for
the Legislature and Likewise for Sherlf---shoud
be Alert to Conditions

be alert. There is no doubt as 10 how
the majority of the democrats stand.
The primary law, regardless of what
assurances it may offer in the way of
decently conducted primary elections,
will be of little avail if the party is in
different to its own welfare. II is al
ways at such times when the members
of any political organization are off
their guard that disrupting elements
seize control 1t is the element that
allies itself with both political parties
and uses both as subjects for barter
and sale that is most TO be despised
and opposed in both parties.
The democrats have an important
duty to perform in next Saturdays
primaries They are confronted with
the obligation of selecting candidate
for the Legislature, with whom they
may go before the senatorial conven-
ton demanding the recognition that is
due the dominant county in the dis
trict, and back of whom the whole
force of the party may stand unani
mously without a blush and ask con
sideration
In the nomination of a candidate for
sheriff. the party can afford to make
no mistake. The right kind of man
will stand the best show of winning
that has been offered the party in
years. Indeed, the election of demo-
cratic sheriff is now conceded by many
republicans provided the party
chooses well.
1t is well for the democrats of the
county TO consider all these facts, and
not only do their own duty one week
from today, but see that their neigh
bors do theirs.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-07-28

The safe guards. such as there are in
the new primary law. which, while
eliminating, or at least minimizing, the
opportunities for Political jobbery and
corruption. and :Eus contributing to
t.re purifying of the ballot should not
be taken as removing occasion for con-
Germ in the minds of those who believe
in legitimate party primaries.
In other woods representative demo-
crats should hot rest in the thought
that under the circumstances their sole
obligation To tieir party is discharged
when they go TO the polls and cast
their ballots toI their choice.
AS a a:a;ttr of fact there is a sur
prising prevalence of apathy in both
the republican and the democratic
parties in view of the primaries to be
held one week from tC:!ay. And set
there are vital contests on in both
parties. In the democratic part thee
are two candidates for the democratic
minority legislative nomination in J. G.
EIIttoP and John LoOnCy. and in the
contest for sheriff in Cornelius Dono-
va2 and Peter Schlueter. In both in
stances the issue involves not only the
question of the choice of candidates for
the respective Offices, but the control
of the senatorial committee and the
county organization.
1t is for the democratic voters of
Rock Island county to express them
selves on the strength of the candidates
who ask recognition at the hands of the
party
Absolute harmony. so far as The Ar
gus knows. prevails in the party
throughout the county. The way to
keep it in such condition is TO keep
discordant influences out. And the
only way to accomplish that end is TO

editorial "wigwam' on Satur-
day last, having come over from
our sister town of Ross where he
held service or Friday evening.
1t is not going too far to say,
that among the many able and
conscientious workers in the
Masters vineyard in western
North Dakota, that the Rev.
Moore ranks as the ablest and
that his influence and authority
is wide and commanding. It
was mainly through his Efforts
that the next meeting of the
Methodist Conference will be held
in Minot-and just right here,

Major j. S. Murphy is prepar-
ing for his trial which will begin
at Fargo Nov. Z. The Major
has no fear as to the outcome.
He has some new evidence up
his sleeve which will corroborate
much of the evidence he gave at
the previous trial. AS the state
has gone over practically all OF
the evidence they had against
the Major, the defense will know
about what to expect and will
likely be fully prepared to meet
every accusation. Atty. Town.
send, who will assist in the pros
ecution, is regarded as one OF the
best lawyers OF the state, and
will therefore put up a hard hight

The Major is charged with
forging road receipts. At his
first trial the jury disagreed, half
voting for acquittal.

Growth is Marvellous.

John Efteland, one of Bow
bells hustling young business
men, has gone to Ambrose at the
end OF the Flaxton branch, where
he started a general store. He
says that the town is but a
month orso old, and trains have
been running into it for only two
weeks, yet there are nine stores,
including five general stoles, two
hardware stores, drug store,
three restaurants, one hotel -four
livery barns, four lumber yards,
a So, 700 bushel elevator, and
two newspapers, besides profess
sional men. More than 10, 900
head OF cattle will be shipped out
of Ambrose this season, a whole
train load to be shipped from
the Nelson 4 Duett ranch.
Land about Ambrose has
about all been taken up, but not
a great deal has been broken up.
This will be done next year how
ever. Quite a little gain raised
in that vicinity this year, how
ever, forty loads coming to Am
brose in one day. Ambrose has
a lot OF good young business
men, and the element that be-
lieves in law and order FREEDOM

Severt Den Loses His Cattle.

When Severt Den, a farmer re-
siding southwest from Minot,
arrived in st. Paul the other day
he was surprised to learn that
the two cars of cattle which he
was supposed to accompany to
that city, were missing from the
train. He waited about the city
three days before the cattle were
located. 1t seems that there
was some mistake in billing
them, and thev were held for
three days at the Minnesota
transfer.
