DEATH OF GOVERNOR MILLER.

The death Of John Miller, first
governor OF the state Of North Da-
kota, comes with something of a.
shock to old friends and acauaintan-
ces In the state. It is stated that he
had been Ill for some weeks, but
news OF 1t was not general among
his old acquaintance in this state,
and possibly those who were aware
of his sickness did not appreciate
how serious was it's character. AL
though he had reached the years
allotted to man, three score and
seven, vet he had lived longer than
is given to many. his career was
busy and honorable, and in his
death the community In which he
lived lost an upright business man
and good citizen.
MT. Miller was OF New York stock
and Was one OF the early settlers OF
the Red river valley, having set
tied in Richland county nearly
thirty years ago. His death recalls
the heated and strenuous political
struggles OF the earlier days OF
statehood, his nomination for COVER.
nor having been achieved in con-
yention that was dominated by the
narrow majority Of one vote in the
selection OF a chairman and the de-
termination Of the control Of the
nominating body. Not a brilliant
man, he was honest, courageous and
creditable executive. IN his bust
ness life he was upright, industrious,
successful. He leaves the heritage
OF good name, a creditable career,
and great number Of old friends
through the state will regret his TAX
Ing off.

DIVIDED RESPONSIBILITY.

If the proposed amendment to the
constitution carries, North Dakota
will have. five judges of the supreme
court, and II a Democratic governor
should be elected he would have the
appointment Of the two new judges.
North Dakota is Republican state
and 1t would seem that the Repub-
lican party should have the choice
Of and assume the responsibility for
the men to be named to the supreme
bench.

sought by Democrats to cut their

FORECAST OF THE ELECTION.

The New York Herald, the Chicago
Record-Herald and, several other
independent newspapers of similar
lack of partisanship have united In
making prediction forecast, which
has at least the advantage OF being
entirely unbiased by. party. Leaning
or prejudiced by desire. Through
various agencies these papers have
sought to obtain and analyze the
drift OF sentiment In the various
states, and the result OF the forecast
indicates the election Of Taft, and of
| a Republican house of congress.
There will be a reduction Of the
Republican majorities OF four years
ago, naturally. But the east, the
New England states, and the middle
| west are set down for the Repub.
iican candidate by prediction indi-
cations that can hardly be mis- taken.
OF the Dakotas the forecast save:
The electoral vote of North Da,
kota and South Dakota will be cast
Tor Taft and Sherman. but by less
tplurahty than the two states gave
to Roosevelt and Fairbanks -four
years ago. In North Dakota Roose

of the campaign, but the settled con
viction of conservative prophets at
the opening of the last week of the
campaign is that Taft will be elect.
ed, that he will carry the east, the
middle west and good deal of the
farther west. g.. - ,: 49,
The. Republican campaign has pro
crossed rapidly during tie past two
weeks. AS usual, the Republicans
have reserved their best efforts for
the last few weeks, and. as usual,
those results are telling.
And there is every reason that
Taft should be elected. The Repub.
lican party has blazed the way for
a progressive and prosperous four
years to come. The policies of Pre-
sident Roosevelt insuring square
dealing through the country, will be
safely, sanely and wisely carried out
by Judge Taft. Few men have APP
preached the presidential chair with
better qualifications for the office
of president that Taft. He has had
wide experience, he knows all de-
partments of government, he Z is
sound. fair, able. Admitting for
Mr.. Bryan all the qualifications of
personal charm and magnetism, the
fact remains that on public ques-
lions he has been proven unsound,
unstable and a false prophet. z. = :.
Surely no Republican can hesitate
in his choice between the two men,
and without Republican votes there
is no hope for Bryan. .7. -. g., .
In the state, the. Republicans have
clean, straightforward and able
candidate for governor in G. A.
Johnson. He deserves and should
receive every Republican vote. He
was nominated by an overwhelming
majority in the primaries. No Re-
publican should vote to promote the
cause of Democracy in the state, and
that is the issue of the election. The
Democrats have not set forth a rea-
son why Republicans should vote
any part of the state Democratic
ticket. & Republicans may be sure
the Democrats will not cast any
votes for the Republican state tick
ct. stS'ts '#'rs
Let all Republicans in the state
vote for Taft, G. A. Johnson for gov.
ernor and for the straight Republi-
can state, county and Legislative
ticket. In that way only can they
testify to the wisdom and value: oi
the primary law, and in that way
only can they encourage the partici-
patton Of all Republicans at the pri
maries. ,@$:'~ 90. .9s.~
Disloyalty to party candidates
merely means that the primary law
signifies nothing and that direct
nominations may be disregarded fol
trivial and unworthy reasons. So
