Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-02-01

Senator McCumber and Congress
man Gronna has introduced bills in
congress appropriating $4,000 each
for experimental stations and farms at
the cities of Williston and Dickinson
This is in line with the policy of the
department in promoting agricultural
experiments at various places in the
country, and as the state has already
made appropriations for the establish
ment of these stations, it would be OF
vital importance to the agricultural
interests of the state if the govern
ment would amplify the work by max
ing additional appropriations. In the
development of the cultivation of fod-
der grasses, short season corn, sugar
beets and other products adapted tc
the soil and climate of the northern
and western parts of this state great
good could be done. 1t is not to be
easily forecasted what will be the re-
suit of these appropriation bills, but
we may rely upon the viborous and
persistent efforts of Senator McCums
ben and Congressman Gronna to in
nuce congress to look favorably upon
these matters.

! TO FIRE M'kENzIE
RUMORED THAT HANSBROUGH.
TWiCHELL AND MARSHALL
WILL TRY TO DEFEAT HIM FOR
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN.

Political rumors are rife at Minot
and the Optic these days is interest
ing reading the latest sensation to
be sprung by the Optic is that Sen
ator Hansbrough, Congressman Mar
shall and Twichell, candidate for gov
ernor, have found a common ground
upon which to agree and that is that
Alexander Mckenzie must be deposed
as national committeeman Such
move on the part of these gentle
men, of course, would naturally be
accepted by the friends of Mr.. Nc
Kenze through the state as an in.
vitation to show who was for and
who was 'agin" the present national
committeeman, and might result in
a little livelier contest than there
would be otherwise.
Senator Hansbrough stated to the
Optic that he knew nothing of such a
movement In view of the current
report, also, that George B. WinshiE
of the Grand Forks Herald will be
the candidate of the insurgents again
the candidate of the insurgents
against Mr.. Mckenzie, it seems hard
ly likely that Mr.. Hansbrough woul(
seek in any way to further the politi.
cal ambitions of Mr.. Winship, as the
political relations between him and
Senator Hansbrough are well known
not to be of the most amicable ma
ture.
The Optic also has something to
say with regard to the recent farmers
meeting at Grand Forks. 1t in a way
deplores the introduction of politics
into these gatherings and says that
after the regular work of the insti
| tute was over the conductor an
nounced that he would turn the meet

ernor and member of the executive
committee of the insurgents, who
presented Mr.. Twichell and took care

is either transferred to the public or is
borne by stockholders, the innocent as
we'll as the guilty Nor am impressed
by the argument that American juries
will generally be indisposed to convict
where the evidence is clear because the
crime is punished by Imprisonment of
the offenders. But if the law be definite
and the evidence warrants the presenta-
ton of the case to the jury, it is better
i'll my Judgment that the responsibility
for failure to convict should lie with
the jury than that the conviction should
be followed by penalties which are either
inadequate or bear unjustly upon those
who have had no completely in the Of

Il do not believe in arbitrary action
We desire prosperity. We are anxious
that there should be fair opportunities
for all the workers of the lanl, for the
extension of industries and commerce,
and that there should be the widest
diffusion of blessings among content

ITO attain these ends the rule of the
people must be the rule of reason and
every effort must be dominated by the
sense of justice. We must be patient,
impartial and thorough; investigation
must precede action; goodwill must dis
place passion; and the oslo fotive must
be to seek the truth and to do the right.
Fellow republicans: I do not come
before you in any spirit of rivalry or
self seeking. There are many republic
cans who by virtue Of their character
and distinguished service are worthy of
the highest honor the party can bestow.
ask no favor and I fake no claim. I
desire that the party shall act for it's
best interest.
eve must not underestimate the la
bors of the next campaign. 1t will be
hard-fought battle. We cannot expect
victory unless we are united and moth
ing should be done to imperil success
in this state. I appeal to you in the
name of the party to which you are all
| loyal to forget every personal differ

cedes the convention fitting prepara-

later be essential"
