State Political Gossip


Bismarck Tribune, The Grand
Forks Herald, which ascribes every
things it considers evil to those it
considers its political opponents,
flastens to see in the action that has
been brought to test the senatorial
feature of the primary law some ultra
wickedness on the part Of the anti
Marshallites The Herald has been
so far converted to the cause Of Mr..
Marshall that 1t is Jealous indeed Of
the rights of Mr., johnson in the SEN
atorial race.
We take it If the people OF the state
will be more Interested in the general
proposition advanced as to whether
the sections Of the primary law gov
erning. the election. ofsa United states
senator are. IN accord with the con-
stitution of tbs. state and Of the Unit
ed States, and that the case will be
decided on those broad grounds, ir-
respective Of any "stalwart' or 'in-
surgent" phases of the matter.
Any citizen of the state had the en-
tire right to bring the action that has
been brought, provided he saw 1T to
do so. and much as The Herald or The
Tribune, or any other newspaper
might desire to do SO. 1t cannot visit
actual physical annihilation upon the
presumptious soul that dares oppose
The Herald. If we mistake not, even
The Herald itself has stated in the
past that some of the features of the
law, such as the pledging OF candi-
dates for the Legislature, were OF
doubtful validity, So long as there
are citizens OF the state who choose
to test the law, and attorneys who
will bring thes matter to the attention
of the courts the matters with regard
to which there is no question can and
will be passed upon by the court.
Grand Forks Times. The Times had
not INTENDED to discuss the case now
pending before the supreme court to
test the constitutionality OF the law
relntive to the nomination Of United
States senators until the case had
been finally determined. 1t has pur-
sued this policy because with news

the coarsests breach of propriety to

decided. For this reason The Times

MARSHALL AND DEMOCRATS.

The Forum is frequently asked what
there is in the persistent rumor that
there is a deal on between Tom
Marshall and the democrats. The
Forum is not advocating Mr.: Marsh
airs interests-and is not in his conf
dence-but it takes it for granted that
he is too loyal republican to enter
into any such a combination. There
are many stories Of the alleged trades
and they are so widely current that
some refutation of them by Mr.. Marsh
all or his friends is almost a necessity
unless the. public is to accept them
as true. ,..... s-r s.,-; ~ .z.r
