"JUMPlN' JIM" WEAVER.
Former PopuIist Presidential Candidate
Delivers Democratic Speech.

Gen. James 3. Weaver of
Iowa, known to the former res
idents of the Hawkeye state as
"Jumpin' Jim, delivered an
address at Greiner's opera
house last night under the aus
pices of the Bryan and Burke
club.
Gen. Weaver is an orator of
national reputation and has
the most variegated politi-
cal record of any man in Amer
ica. He served with distinc-
ton in the Civil war and was a
republican at it's close. He was
beaten out of a nomination for
the governorship in Iowa by
the late John H. Gear. Weav-
er then became a greenbaCker
and went to congress as such
in 1878 from the sixth Iowa dis
trict. In 1884 and 1886 he was
elected to congress from the
same district as a democrat.
When the populist movement
swept the country in the early
9Os he became one of the
champions of the new political
faith and was the party candi-
date for president in 1892, get
ting ~ votes in the electoral
college-one from North Da-
kota. Six years later he ran
for congress again as a demo-
crat but was defeated by John
+. Lacey, now a candidate for
senator against Gov. A. b.
Cummins. He is an ardent
! temperance advocate and was
next elected mayor of Colfax,
Iowa, on a 'lid' platform. In
1904 Gen. Weaver was one of
Hearst's strongest supporters
in Iowa for the presidency and
went to the St. Louis conven-
ton AS delegate-at-large on
on platform declaring that
in William Randolph Hearst
we recognize living exponent
of the true democratic faith.'
1t is safe to say that the gener-
al would not now thus endorse
the saffron-hued journalist.
Gen. Weaver gained the title
of "Jumpin' i'm" from his abil-
ity to do the Flopenstein stunt,
springing with agility from
one political organization to
another.

GHRIS1IANS0M'S FINE RECORD.
Has Lost But One Case In the State
Supreme Court.

The Towner News nd Stock
man says of a. NJ. Christian
son, republican candidate for
judge of the ninth judicial dis
triCt:
Mr.. Christianson has been
practicihg law in Towner for
the past eight years, and dur
ing that period has built up a
reputation as a successful law
yer, which has not only extend
ed to every part of the state,
but neighboring states as we'll.
In the legal profession, Mr..
Christianson has but few super
iors in the state. Of the many
cases which he has carried to
the supreme court, he has lost
but one, which shows that his
judgment is of high rank on
matters of law. When the vot-
ers of the district have an op-
portunity to place a man in the
judges chair with such a
splendid record as lawyer
back of him, they should not
pass the opportunity without
giving the matter earnest
thought.
AS a private citizen, Mr..
Christianson stands with rep
utation beyond reproach. He
is energetic, progressive and
ever 2ready to help a just cause.

Senator McCumher Delivered Repuh.
lIcan Address Wednesday.
GREETED BY 4 LARGE AUDIENCE
Discussed Tariff and Trust Cues
tion--Warmly Endorsed
G. A. johnson.

Hon. P. J. McCumber, United
States senator from North Da-
kota, delivered an address at
the opera house Wednesday
night, speaking under the aus
pices of the republican county
central committee.
Senator McCumber is bril-
liant orator. a fine thinker and
a close student of public affairs.
His address was not only an
exposition of republican doc
trine but study of economic
conditions as they exist in the
United States today.
He took up the trust and tar
iff questions and gave a thor
ough discussion of each. The
industrial history of the coun-
try was reviewed, the necessity
for a protective and revenue
tariff shown and the causes
which lead to the present ne
cessity for revision explained.
. The history of justification
of industrial corporations, the
causes which lead to their for
nation and development and
the necessity for regulation
were given. Senator McCum-
Der has made a close study of
this issue and his hearers were
given an intelligent and hon
est discussion of this great
question.
The unprecedented prosper
ity of the past ten years under
republican rule was contrasted
with the conditions which pre-
vailed during the last demo
cratic administration when de-
mocracy had gone into power
on a platform of principles al
most identical with the one
upon which Bryan is a candi-
date today. He clearly pointed
out the duty of every citizen to
support the republican no1ni-
nees-Taft and Sherman.
Senator McCumber paid a
high tribute to Hon. G.. A.
Johnson, republican nominee
for governor, and urged every
republican to give him loyal
support.
The Bottineau Military band
furnished excellent music for
the occasion. The opera house
was filed with a representative
audience. All gave an atten-
tive ear to the speaker and he
was frequently applauded.
Judge John H. Kirk presided
at the meeting.

Three Constitutional Amendments Sub.
mitted to Voters This Year.

Over the state in general,
three state wide constitutional
amendments will be voted on
at the November election and
in Bottineau county an addi-
tional county amendment will
be voted on making a total of
four propositions to be con-
sidered by the voting public.
Erroneously. there has been
a general opinion. that the
LELAND initiative and referen-
dun measure would be judged
by the people this fall. The
measure must pass the state
legislature at the coming ses-
sion before it can be put to the
people. The bill was intro
duced last year and was fav-
orably passed on by the state
law makers. There was a total
of seven constitutional amend
ments introduced last year,
which if they are passed this
winter will be put to a, vote OF
the people at the next general
election.
The three proposed amend
ments to the state constitution
to be voted on at the general
election, are as follows;
THAT the supreme court
of the state shall consist of five
judges.
2.--That no state land shall
be sold for less than appraised
valuation and that the mini
m um shall not be less than $40

Republican Candidate for District JUDGE
Has Enthusiastic SUPPORT.

Upham Star: A. NJ. Chris

favor over the whole district
and where he is personally
acquainted he will get the vote
to man-even the democrats

Christianson's supreme court
record is compared with the
opposing candidates.
Antler American: A. NJ.
Christensen, republican candi-
date for the office of district
Judge, is making a good clean
campaign. He believes in
boosting, not knocking. We
saw a letter sent out by a dem
oCrat the other day that was
decidedly the latter.
Towner Tribune; Glowing
reports come from A. NJ. Chris
tianson of the cordial reception
he is receiving throughout his
trip through Bottineau county.
Enthusiastic crowds are greet
ing him wherever he speaks.
A. NJ. is a big winner.

SUMMER SCHOOL AT WARREN.

Some time ago it was announced
that joint summer schools for Mar
shall and Red Lake Counties would
be held at Thief River Falls. This
idea did not strike Supt. Mithun
favorably, as he believed county as
large as Marshall with so large a
number of teachers to train. was en-
titled to a summer school of it's own.
Mayor Lundgren and Judge Grinde-
land also took up the matter with
the State Department of Public In
struct1on and we are pleased to state
that their efforts and the efforts of
Supt. Mithun have been crowned
with success. A four weeks
summer school with four instructors
will be held at Warren, commencing
July 9Th. Supt. E. A. Freeman. of
Grand Papids. will be the conductor,
and Prof. J. B. Bengtson, of Evans
Vile; Mrs. Maude Atkins, of Mime
apois, and Miss Rena J. Bruce. of
Duluth, will be the instructors. 1t
pays to go after things that this
county wants, sometimes, and the
teachers OF the county will surely
appreciate the efforts of the above
mentioned gentlemen in securing
this school for them.

AN INSPIRING LECTURE.

Rev. -.ndrew Gillies, of the
Hennepin Ave. NJ. E. church,
Minneapolis, delivered an able and
inspiring address at the opera house
on Monday evening under the
auspices of the Junior class of the
Warren High School. His subject
was 1.-THE New America First
the speaker depicted the marvellous
development of this country terri
torially, industrially and in every
other way. But this country was
great not because Of its vast terri
tory and enormous resources, but on
account of the quality of the men
and women who have made their
homes here. The speaker then
touched upon some of the dangers
that beset the rebublic, mentioning
the race issue, intemperance, disre-
gard of the laws OF the land. the
mad struggle for wealth, political
corruption, the inferior quality of
the present day immigration from
Europe. etc. But he was no
pessimist, and believed the God
fearing people of this country would
solve these problems. and any others.
that may confront them. Altogether
it was an instructive and inspiring
address, which was we'll received by
the fairly large audience present.
