may we ask, what way would
they change the government?
In what particular have the re-
publicans proven themselves ras-
Gals? Can they find any fault
with the administration ofNorth
Dakota? The leaders of those
insurgents -one has been publi-
! ely charged of looting the state
to the amount Of thousands upon
thousands Of dollars, and the
other of voting against the farm
ers of his own state and in favor
/ of the milling trust these lead
ers have the most drastic libel
law in the United States to use
in Furnishing their accusers.
Why do they not use it, and send
to prison those who so boldly
accuse them? The answer is:
The truth has been told. They
stand convicted of those charges
they who have had so much to
say about the machine and
the footing of Alaska. Take
up the leaders one by one-lead-
ers in the state and the various
counties, and they are the men
who once were the favored of
the republican party, and who
by reason of rapacity when in
office, or arrogance in political
counsel, have been discarded by
the party. They are now seek
ing to deceive the voters by
shouting for good government,
and they hope by crying wolf,
Wolff" to keep their nelghbors
from sitting their outer garm-
ents, and proving that the real
wolf is among us, and seeking
to deceive our people.
If we are wrong, show us. Are
not the voters of this state and
county entitled to hear both
sides Of. this question when
asked to chance their political
views, and to forsake their poll
tical friends of whole life time?
Are they not deserving of the
most unequivocal evidence in
favor of so great a change?
Certainly To offer the voters
less is to treat them with con-
tempt. 1t is nothing less than
an insult to the intelligence of
the voters, to scream graft, -
corruption" machine" and
assume that the electorate will
modify or change it's political
complexion.
The voters of Ramsey county
are asked to note this additional
fact. These insurgents will
not attempt to contradict this
article. They cannot do it.
What a motley crew they must
be to submit to be stigmatizec
in this manner and be unable
to reply. Ii they had the digni.
Ity Of a Patagonian, or the self.
respect of an oriental pariah,

THE INRURGENTS BLOWN
BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

The Inter-O Ocean desires to call
the attention of Ramsey county
voters to resolution adopted by
the insurgents of this county and
published in their literature as
fundamental part of their plat
form. It shows the animus of
the whole organization, and jus
titles the claim made early in
this campaign, that the i1lsur-
gent movement was led by two
classes of individuals = the old
Bosses, now discredited, and
younger ones, who thought the
shortest route to the offices was
over the wrecked regulations of
their fellow men. The resolu-
tion to which we particularly re-
fer is that one which declares
uncomfortable hostility to the
secret or Australian ballot, pro-
nouncing it to be un-American.
This declaration is consistent
with the birth and development
Of the insurgent movement. We
did not, however, think them
foolish enough to admit their
rank disloyalty to one Of the
fundamental principles of our lib
erty. By this resolution they de-
clare against the one safeguard
to the full expression Of public
opinion upon public questions.
The secret ballot is the one foe
of bosslsm and political corrup-
tion which can lot be circum-
vented by political shysterers
and Waru heelers. It is today
the chief bulWark Of our liber;
~.
It's well in this connection to
ask the question: Who opposed
the introduction Of the secret
ballot in the United Statesg
Tammany broke its sword fight
ing It. Boss Quay hurled, like
e huge catapult, the power Of the
Pennsylvania gang against iii.
The carpet baggers fought it.
Every political boss, big and
little, gave it the knife to the
Ihilt. Why? Because it took
from the corrupters IF our poll
#tlcal life, their chief lever by
which they lifted themselves into
positions Of public trust. The
Ispoils Of Office could be banked
upon, and frequently they were
bartered for before election with
as much confidence ais farmers
bank upon their crops. Yoll
may IS how could this BE
'llle ans let is easy The

bosses could buy up the pur-
|chasable vote, and see that "the
goods were delivered. I" liz a voter
agreed for a sum of money to
vote for a certain man, the
open ballot allowed his purchas-
er to see that he kept his word.
Wholesale bribery and corrup-
tion were the result; and the
secret ballot was introduced in
to the United States, following
upon the greatest upheaval of
public sentiment in our history.
The secret ballot has paralyz-
ed the arm of tyranny in politi-
cal life in this country. It has
cut the lashing cords which bound
together the briber and the bride
taker, and money used in the
purchasing of votes is thing
of the past.
Yet we have in this, the fair
est county of North Dakota, a
cabal of disgruntled politicians,
who are bold enough in their in
famous work to declare against
their chief enemy-the secret bal
lot. It is consistent with their
every act, their every hope and
aspiration, but we thought them
too astute to make known their
sentiments and designs against
the people.
Bosses-they want the open
ballot, so that they can use the
bosses methods used in the cor
rupt old days of Tweed and Tam
many and Quay. Bosses after
the offices, they would take from
freemen their chief weapon of
defence against the political
gangster. Bosses, they would
obtain the reins of government
by the vicious method Of the
political auction block, and, hav-
ing the reins, they would keep
them by the same shameless
methods.
Detectives say that the most
carefully thought out crime is
always found to have some loose
thread about it. The criminal
can never completely cover up
his tracks. So W it'll these Ram.
sey ringsters. They plan to
shout "good government, the
people, ''the machine, y loot, "
thinking thereby to blind the
people and conceal their real pur-
pose, when To-! in an unguarded
moment they reveal their true
character by declaring for the
vicious, utter ly hated, and, let
us hope, the forever discarded,
open ballot, for which the boss.
es Of a quarter Of a century age
died fighting.
! Traitorous to the great prin.
ciple of our liberty; transpar-
emily committed to the habits
land ambitions Of the political
cabal, they add to their in
fanny. the unforgiveable sin OF
foolhardness, and risk their
Ispeedy destruction by proclaim
ing their own disgrace.

THE INTER-OCEAN MEANS
BUSINESS.

The lnter-Ocean has tried to
be fair in the controversy which
has ragged between the insur-
gents and the republican party.
1t started out by giving the in
surgents credit for honesty, en-
Pertaining convictions based up
on wrong data. It has invited
them every issue to state the
reasons why they had taken the
knife against their own political
kinsmen. and when it could not
succeed in goading the insurg-
ent press into anything like an
argument, the Inter-O Ocean offer
ed the insurgent forces space in
its own columns, where they
could tell to the whole county
their grievances. The advant-
ages of such an offer in a politi-
cal campaign. in a paper having
such large circulation, and
whose clientele constitutes the
people whom the insurgents
wish to reach and convert, can
scarcely be estimated. They
can not reach the voters with
their own papers as we'll as they
could through the columns of the
Ocean, and they would
have the satisfaction of giving
us grape and canister from ou1
own guns.
Yet with all these advantages
offered them, not one has re.
ported that he wants the space.
What does this argue?. It ar.
CUES two things conclusively.
One: That they have no argu.
ment which they dare trust in
the columns Of their enemy Is
paper, and second: That having,
no argument, they must accept
the dishonorable brand that they
are not sincere in the claims they
make.
Does any voter suppose for one
moment that a brave man, with
the truth behind him, would
hesitate a moment about accept
ing such an offer2 Is it not just
conclusion that they themselves
know how guilty they are of
an attempt to deceive the public!
IL they had a cause, would not
good politics urge them to place
it before the people through the
medium most generally accept.
ed as the representative of the
republican party in Ramsey coun-
ty? The case has only to be pre-
scented to be understood.
This offer OF the Inter- Ocean
shows more. 1t shows the con-
fidsnce it has in the cause it rep.
resents. The Inter-O Ocean deals
in facts. 1t loves the truth. II
hates a liar and abominates a
coward. It, therefore, felt fully
warranted il offering the enemy
the freedom of its own citadel.
We felt we could give them our
guns. In fact our offer shows
that we felt we could afford to
give them s.ny and every advant-
age, and then capture them bag
and baggage. They have shown
they agree with as in this par
Eienlar at least.
We have repeatedly told them
they had no just cause of com.
plant. We have chal lenged them
to give us the facts upon
which they build their claim chat

worthy the confidence of the
people, and they have failed ID

FIREMEN'S PARADE
Big Engine Of Union Com

Thousands Viewed the parade which
preceded the ceremonies attending the

afternoon. In view of the fact that
the affair was held IN the afternoon,
Market street was crowded with wo-
men and children and they scheered
the marching firemen all along the
line OF parade.
Such noise was never heard in Mar
ket street. At each intersecting
thoroughfare was stationed the ap-
paratus OF a fire company and the
shrieking Of the Whistles, changing OF
bells, including the big bell at the
City Hall. was deafening.
1t was hardly possible to hear the
bands in the parade on account Of the
din and the frcinen had a hard time
keeping in step. The latter were at
