From MCDday's l1aily

cratic Presidential Situstton.
From Mondays Daily.
That the Second district may go fol
johnson because of the Indifference OF
the voters is the opinion of 4. j. Knox
of jackson, who was in St. Paul last
evening says The st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
"The rank and file of the party are
for Bryan, yet they are Indifferent" he
said They are indifferent because
they think that Johnson is a man Noi
Bryan's principles. Those who know
: him know he is not yet that is the
impression among the rank and file.
However, something may be done
between now and the primaries to show
the people the real situation and the
connection between Johnson and the
corporations If this were brought to
the attention of the people johnson
would have little. show But the people
are busy with their spring work now,
in many townships there is no party
organization because the district is
strongly republican and it is not an
easy matter to organize to get dele
gates elected for for Bryan from every
township.
GAS it is. perhaps half the counties
in the district will be for Bryan. But
the republican legislatures have been
creating so many offices for the present
administration that there in repub-
lican district the percentage among
the democrats who have offices is very
large and they are naturally for John
son. There are in every county oil in
spectors. boiler in spectors, game war
dens, truant officers and others work
ing for their chief. Their salary may
not be large, yet it is sufficient with
the honor they get, to make them work
for the administration.
at looks pretty certain that North
Dakota will 60 for Bryan. l am told
that of the 600 delegates to the state
convention next week 800 are already
instructed for him, some are not yet
elected and some are elected without
There are none instruct
ed for any one else. If Johnson does
not carry North Dakota he is not likely
to carry any of the northwestern
states.
Mr.. Knox was much interested in
the recent oil inspection exposures,
and thought that the papers had han
died it altogether too gently.
"There are some questions that
might be asked in connection with this
1eal,' he said "The law says plainly
that the salary in this office shall be
so much and that salary shall be full
and the salaried officer
shall receive no fees. Now, how can
-he law be interpreted to mean that
part of the fees are perquisites of the
office? And why does not the public
give us the details OF the
shortage, what particular fees We're re-.
garded as perquisites or what were the
errors i'll bookkeeping that made this
shortage possible? And why was it
that, although the public examiner did
not find the shortage until few days
'go, they began restoring, the shortage
.wo or three months ago? And why
S that there is less money collected
since the office was put on salary
basis than when it was on fee basis
IS there less oil inspected? Surely
here is not less oil used in the state?"

all the other main roads leading out

what repairs are needed and make
them. TheNroads have been worse in
side of the city limits than outside,
owing to the springiness of the soil,
and the farmers have commented upon
this. The city has been urging the
farmers to improve their roads, and it
is fSlt that it can do so with better
taste when the roads inside of the
city limits are put in good condition.
