The selection of the members Of

The selection of the members Of
this central committee is left in the
hands of the delegates in the con-
vention, thus allowing Adams
county, Pembina county and sew
eral other counties, the extreme
pleasure of being represented in
accordance to the wishes OF one or
two men, a very fair manner of
organization. A good many Of
the counties had one or two dele
gates at the convention, while
many had none at all. The organ
ization should be representative
Of the select who have taken it
upon themselves to speak for the
entire insurgent movement.
As the reports of the convention
have it, there was no effort to base
the representation upon the insur-
gent strength in the several coun-
ties in the state. Those counties
in which the candidates who
sought Endorsement were most
interested had as many delegates as
the candidates chose to have pres
ent.
Cass county-Twitchell ...l5 del.
Cavalier co~unty-Helgeson.11 del.
Dickey, Sargent, Stutsman
Marshall .............37 del.
Grand Forks county-Ben-
deke del.
Barnes county--Young.... 10 del.
Walsh county-Stockwell.. 7 del.
Total .lO9 del.
The total representation at the
convention is given at 22l dele
gates. It appears that the active
candidates for Endorsement had
nearly half the total number Of
delegates.
It is not surprising, therefore,
that a convention idea was origina-
ted and developed by half a dozen
candidates should have been con-
trolled absolutely by those candi-
dates for office. The. statement
that these candidates we're the
overwhelming choice of the dele
gates should be analysed in con-
nection with these figures.
1t is understood that the dele
gates from Mclean county, invited
by some one-or themselves-were
as follows: j. F. Kehrer, d. A.
Lamb, Otis Beardsley, Chas
Steele, Ed Peterson.

It is really amusing to see how
little some business men in a town
appreciate advertising. They will
carry a small ad for a month about
once or twice a year and when the
bill amounting to two or three dol
lars is brought around at the end
of the month, how they kick and
order their ad taken out, as it is
too expensive to advertise. Did
you ever notice that these are the
fellows who are always bowling
about business being poor, and
eventually they go broke or quit
business and seek fields anew and
pastures greener. -Edmore Herald

MEETING OF
INSURGENTS
Synopsis Of Proceedings Of the Con-
venti0n at Grand Forks.

The meeting of the insurgents
at Grand Forks on the 26th ult
seems to have been anything but
harmonious. The various counties
did not select their own delega-
tions as a rule but it seems that
invitations were sent by some one,
and in the interests of some one
to those in different parts Of the
state whose presence was particu-
larly desired by those expecting to
be specially endorsed. The Grand
Forks newspapers give the account
of the affair from which the Leader
culls the following as a matter of
news, as sort of aftermath to last
weeks report:
1t was not until after M. n.
johnson Of Petersburg, a candidate
for the nomination of the United
States senator at the hands of the
insurgent convention, had bolted
that the slate of candidates select
ed at a recent so-called conference
committee meeting held in Valley
City, was put thru. The entire
slate, including the national and
several state Offices, was nominal
ed as planned, the, Marshall

1t has been the history of past
financial aurries that the years
following have been of unusual
prosperity. There is no reason
why it should not be true in this
and there will undoubtedly be
more opportunities for profitable
investment during the next three
or four years than ever before in
the history of the country. The
remarkable development cannot be
permanently retarded.-Forum.

as small a number as you like) two
or three, had taken it upon them
selves to dictate to the people OF
this state who their public serV-
ants would be. Now that we have
destroyed this convention system
we have accepted in its place this
primary election law. And what
is the object, the basis and heart
of the primary election. 1t is to
leave the selection of the servants
to the people.
"What are we doing here? Right
in the face of the primary election
law there is gathered here IN TINS
city today a body composed OF men
not delegates Of various districts
but a body Of men who have been
invited by a select body to select
candidates for these people. They
are not legally bound upon any
body, but they are bound in honor
upon every man here. Now then
can we be friends of good govern
ment, insurgents, or anything else
that Won like? That the object
and spirit of the primary election
law is to throw the convention
system Of nomination out and leave
the matter in the hands if the peo-
pie is undisputed, and is this con-
vention following the spirit Of that
law?" ...
When delegates packing into the
convention ITO support Marshall
learning the drift of Mr.. Skula-
sons remarks, there was an at
tempt on their part to boot the
speaker down, however u%nsuccess-
full.
Col. Peake Of Valley City char
acterized the address as "bosh,"
showing the division of sentiment
which had arisen among the dele
gates to the convention. Peake
argued that even though the state
had a primary law, there must be
a head to the movement.
1t is a noteworthy fact that Mr..
Skulason was not again given the
privilege Of the floor, being hooted
down when he attempted to secure
such courtesy. Chairman Stock
we'll refused to recognize Mr.. Sku-
Jason. The debate following Mr..
Skulason's address continued for
some time, finally resulting in the
article in question being voted
down by 1877 to SO, this showing
Marshall's strength.
WIDE DIFFERENCES.
The debate, however, is quite
interesting, showing as it does the
unsatisfed condition prevailing
within the insurgent ranks. Dean
A. Bruce of the university law
school attempted to smooth matters
over a bit by mentioning a few of
the objections to the primary law,
among them being the expense.
He said that under the laws pro-
visions the poor man could not
make a successful campaign. and
for that reason an organization was
necessary. To many Of those
present, his address appeared to
be an endorsement of the old con-
vention system, which was revived
yesterday for the benefit of the
insurgents.
Feetham hoped to see a compro-
mise but in case this could not be
effected. he believed in nomination
of certain candidates, even though
soreness was certain to follow. If
any man wanted to quit, it was his
privilege to do so, and his depart
ure from the ranks would not and
not be considered a loss.

thru a packed convention their
own candidates for nomination,
the list including the members OF
the slate combination.
The complete reputation Of the
primary election law of North Da-
kota was made by the insurgents in
holding the convention here yester-
day. ut was, to use the express
sion of a gentleman who attended
"the most infamous attempt at
forcing slate candidates upon the
evening session cast a pail Of gloom
over the remaining delegates in
the convention. A first display Of
bravado rapidly faded, and it was
easy for the observer to see that

marks we're flung at the johnson
supporters as they left the Metro
politan opera house after clearly
defining their position as to the
convention, but when those re-
naming came to a true realization
of what Johnson's boiling meant,
the matter appeared to them in a
less humorous light.
An air Of hesitancy prevailed
turnout.
Following this, the convention
seemed afraid to proceed until Joe
NJ. Devine, the Ward county in
surgent and former governor Of
North Dakota, stepped to the cen
ter Of the aisle, was recognized by
the chairman who was then seated
for the first time during the ses-
sion. In a long eulogy, the Ok
statesman proceeded to bring be-
fore the convention in a manner
which would make it seem that
the speaker believed he was pre-
senting the name Of a man whose
candidacy had not been decided
upon long since, and who was a
member to a combine to force
nominations upon the conventino
even to resorting to the packing
Of the convention. Joe Devine
presented the name of Thos. E.

ton. It was indeed the most
amusing bit of politics ever pulled
off.
MIR. JoHNsoN's CONTENTION.
Before the committee on rules
and of business. Hon. M. N.
johnson, when the question was
up regarding the endorsing of can
didates said:
For ten years we have fought
the good fight for political reform
in this state, subordinating person.
al ambition to the good of the
cause.
"A steadfast adherence to that
course for another year will, in
my judgement result in a signal
and lasting victory for our cause.
The present is a critical mo-
ment to our history.
"Our paramount achievement is
the primary election law, doing
away with party conventions and
placing in the hands Of the indi-
vidual voters the power of nomin-
candidates. If we at this
meeting nominate a ticket, we set
a precedent which can only result
in restoring, under some other
name, the substance Of the old
convention system with all its at
tendant evils of slate-making and
scrambling for place and power.
ut is, therefore, my belief that
the safe and conservative course
would now be to express in appro-
resolution our convictions
and purposes in which we car all
agree, RELOCATING to the people
themselves the selection of
in accordance with the
letter and spirit of the law"

sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 26.-Fearing
tnat the work Of blasting now being

Sioux river at this point, and In which
Chicago capitalists are heavily inter-
ested.
1t is claimed the new company has
men at work blasting rock in close

COUNCIL LOSES
IN SALOON FIGHT
Sioux Falls Judge Decides thu
Council Can't Prevent Sale Of
Sandwiches in Saloons.

sioux Falls. 8. D., Aug. 24.--Judge
Jones, of the state circuit court. 10
whom the. case was appealed by Vogel,
has declared illegal the action Of the
city council OF Sioux Falls In revoking
the saloon license OF r. vogel because
he sold sandwiches in his place OF busi-
ness after the council had enacted an
ordinance prohibiting the giving Of free
lunches by saloons.
/, IT il held by Judge Jones that the
city council had the power to regulate
and control the dispensing OF free
lunches In saloons, but that before the
city council could exercise such power
conferred upon It by the law OF 1907,
allowing a council TO vacate saloon
license for violation of a city ordinance,
that notice must be given to the saloon-
keeper OF such proposed action. and
lat after such notice is given the city
council must receive such evidence as
Is offered give the saloonkeeper right
to defend, and then take away his
license only after they have found, as
matter of fact, that he Is guilty OF
violating the ordinance.
1t appears that in the case of Vogel
the city council did not give him mo-
tice OF the intention to revoke his
license. The case was the first OF its
kind in this part of the state, or In
South Dakota for that matter, and has
attracted great deal OF attention.
