That Cupid is fully up-to-date is at
tested by marriage just reported.
The bridegroom is the manager Of q
large telephone company and the bride
was lately chief operator in one Of the
Offices. The gentleman, in the line of
his official duty, had occasion to talk
with the lady and was so impressed
by her voice that he sought an intro
ductioB, and the romance has Gull
minated in providing him with a
charming partner for life. And tele-
phone girls, who are bright and quick,
win instantly see tho point. A soft, low
voice is a good thing in woman at all
times. and not infrequently one of the
first aids TO matrimony.

Alex McKinzie.

Fargo Forum: Some months ago Alex
Mckinzie announced in signed statement
that he was not a candidate for reelection
as national committeeman and wanted some
other man to have that honor. He wanted
to retire from the position peacefully and
quietly-in the best intrests of the Repub-
lican organization of North Dakota, in the
building up of which he had been such an
important factor.
The Insurgent leaders thought they had
Alex on the run. Not willing to take his
word--they began to fight him-making
him the issue of the campaign up to the
time of the state convention.
While Mr.. Mckenzie had announced he
would not be candidate for committee
mamie did not mean that he was out of
politics as a private citizen. He hoped
his withdrawal from the position would
promote harmony-but when it was made
clear thataasfew Insurgent leaders in their
arrogance. were determined to make him
a scapegoat-Mr. McKinzie was forced to
fight back. He would have been a coward
to have done less. When McKinzie fights
he does neat job of it. This was amply
demonstrated during the campaign-when
he won out again,t the combined Johnson
Marshalls Hansbrough opposition.
Now that the convention is over Nc
Kinzie wants to drop out of the limelight
in North Dakota policies will, if not
forced to fight for vndication. The
action of the little coterie of Insurgent
leaders is responsible for the present con-
dition and they shonld now have enough
common sense to take Mckenzie at his
word. McKinzie is not infallible-but he
is political, physical and moral giant
as compared to the clique of office seeking
soreheads who have endeavored to drive
him from the party.
