The Washington correspondent Of
the Journal notes that Hon. Alexand-
er Mckenzie, national committeeman
for North Dakota. has been in con-
sultation with Secretary Taft and with
the president at Washington and, that
the secretary spent couple of hours
recently in the room Of Mr.. Mckenzie
at Washington. The Journal CORE
spondent seems to believe that Mr..
Mckenzie is seeking to find favor
with the probable Republican presi-
Dental candidate, with a view to do
ing work for Taft in the, northwest.
It Is more than likely that Mr.. Taft
was availing himself of Mr.. McKen-
zie's knowledge of political conditions
in the northwest. Mckenzie has been
a close friend Of the president for
many years and when he-the presi-
dent-announced that he would not be
candidate for a third term, advised
the president that his influence would
be for Taft.-Bismarck Tribune.

Clerk Of the District Court.
Mr.. Champlin needs no introduction
to the people of Ward county (more
especially the old residents.) He
commenced coming to Minot In 1897
for the Mccormick county and was
assigned to the Minot territory IN
1900 and prior to this last date there
had not been but one binder sold at
Minot. His business grew with the
growth of Ward county to such an
extent that he could see the advis-
ability Of having a warehouse at MI.
not and took the matter up with the
county and succeeded in securing a
warehouse for distributing purposes
and establishing for Minot a distribut-
ing center.
Mr.. Champlin severed his connec-
ton with the company shortly after
the consolidation Of the five compan-
les and went out on his farm at Sur
rey where he had been engaged ever
since at farming. He is well quail
fed to fill the Office and considered
reliable by all who have the pleasure
to do business with him. He was
born in Berlin, Green Lake county,
Wisconsin, Aug. 8, 1859, his father
was killed in the war between the
North and South at the battle Of
Corinth. He has always been a Re-
publican and always found ready to
help better the conditions of the
party and earnestly solicit the sup.
port of all the Republican voters at
the primaries held in June.

Having business in connection with

some political talk, and find that it is

to have T. w. Tasker run for that

now, and we have lots of farmers Just
as capable as any whose names have
been mentioned so far, and besides,
this is distinctly a farming district,
it has no large towns within its bori-
ers, with factories and the like, so
it is right and proper to let the farm
ers put up such man as they know
would look after their particular in.

So 1t will likely take some pressure
to get Mr.. Tasker to run, unless the

the chances of being beaten in the
race. otherwise he would not.

AS announced by him before his de-
parture from Kansas City, Mr.. Bryan,
In view Of the action of the Kansas
republican state convention which In
dorsed the guaranty of deposits propo-
sition, made some remarks supple
mentary to his prepared speech on that
subject. He took UP the advantages Of
the guaranty system and then an
swered the objections made to it by Taft
and others. He began by asking why
the depositors should be left unsecured
when the national government de-
manded security of any bank with
which 1t deposited money. He pointed
out that the choice was between the
postal savings bank and the guaranty
bank and accused Mr.. Taft of favor
ing an unnecessary extension of the
sphere of the government advocating
the postal savings bank instead of the
guaranty bank. Mr.. Bryan declared
that he preferred the guaranty bank
proposition. which would allow the
banks to attend to the banking busi-
ness and yet compel them to give their
depositors necessary security.
