1t seems remarkably strange that,
in the face of actual and positive evil
dence to the contrary, Mr. Woods en-
beavers TO remove the charge of in
surgentism from Representative
Story. The fact is that Mr.. Story
was one of the bitterest insurgents of
the whole house bunch at the last
session. Although he was careful dur
ing his campaign to keep the fact of
his insurgency from the republican
voters Of Emmons county when
the insurgent delegates to the state
convention of that year We're defeated
by vote of two to one-no sooner
had he got to Bismarck than he was
raging insurgcnt He refused to
join with the regular republicans in
their efforts to organize the house, and
joined with the democrats-not one,
but twelve--and insurgents in so do
ing. He was cheek by jowl all
through the session with Senator
Macdonald who misrepresents the
republicans Of this district in the leg

lawyers office in Bismarck, at which
meeting it was resolved TO put up Mr..
Herolz as the insurgent candidate
against Streeter, in Emmons, with Mr..
Story as his running mate. Do
Messrs Campbell and Macdonald de-

Does any one for an instant suppose
that-had insurgentism proved to be
as popular with the republicans of
this state as Messrs Wood, Story
and Herolz had supposed it was going
to be, they would have for an instant
hesltated in proclaiming from the
housetops that they We're insurgents
The fact is that Brother Wood is
neither an nsurgent nor stalwart.
He Is a Bryan democrat-simply that
and nothing more. He never has in
his paper a kind word for the repub-
lican party, but hardly a week passes
but there is a puff of Bryan in his
columns. The only interest he has in
republlcanism is in keeping position
near enough TO the pie counter to
catch an occasional final-proof notice
or an insurance statement. Should
Bryan be elected, Mr. Mood would
be the chief OF democracy in Kidae,
