Merits Of the Senatorial Nom
mating Law Reached To-
day in Arguments
BELIEF THAT COURT WILL
AoLD Law UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Pledge Required Of Candidates for the
Legislature the Center of the Con.
tention That the Statute is in Con.
fict With Fundamental Law,

Bismarck. N. D., Oct. 24-Argu-
ments have been on again today last
ing nearly all day in the supreme
court in the primary election case
wherein the senatorial election fea-
ture of that law is involved. 1t was
nearly noon today before the merits
of the case were reached.
The first constitutional question
raised was that of the legislative
pledge required Of the members as to
whom they should vote for in the
session. The burden Of the case this
morning seemed to rest upon the rela-
tors and Attorney Lawrence made an
extended argument pointing out to
the court where the pledge part was
unconstitutional, because the legis-
lature had attempted to add to the
qualification Of the legislative men,
bers, which were expressly defined In
the constitution. His address occu-
pied over two hours. He also dwelt
upon the fact that the senatorial fea-
ture of the primary law conflicted
with the constitution Of the United
States and that of the state. holding
that the constitution of the United
States prescribed that members Of
the United States senate shall be elec-
ted by the legislature, and that the
state constitution is conflicted with in
that the primary law prescribes ad-
ditional duties for the canvassing
boards, which are prescribed by the
state constitution. Attorney General
McCue's argument defending the law,
holds that neither the constitution OF
the state nor the United States, is
affected by the primary law, and the
rights of the citizens are not affected
by this clause ofsthe primary law. The
Attorneys for both the candidates
who are in the case, also argued along
the same lines as McCue and valiant
attempt is being made to sustain the
law as it was enacted. The case is
followed with no little interest and
is the topic Of general gossip in the
city. There is quite general opinion
here that the law pertaining to the
nomination of senators will be set
aside, but there is is wider belief
that at least the pledge of legislature
nomineet will be set aside.

Situation in Twin Cities.
The great majority of the voters
Of the state, who have long ago made
up their minds to vote for Governor
Johnson, are standing firmly by him,
and will not be misled by these news
paper reports. The best informed
men in both parties agree that the
governor will be triumphantly re-
elected. Betting in the twin cities
makes the governor favorite at one
hundred to seventy-five, and some
small bets are being made on a basis
Of two to one. Every indication is
that the governor will be elected by
not less than 10000 and it may easilx
go to fifty. History may repeat itself
and the committees claims in the last
campaign may be far exceeded.

HAS
THEM SCARED
The Republicans Will Sweep
Minnesota Back to Her
Former Moorings

st. Paul, Oct. 24.-That Frank A.
Day fears landslide to Jacobson he
practically admits in letter which he
is sending out to a number of his
friends throughout the state. The
good reports which have come from
Republican meetings throughout the
state, together with the reports of
gains for Jacobson that are coming
in every day from every corner of
the state, are evidently worrying Day,
and in the last effort to stem the tide
he has sent this letter to his friends
appealing to them not to believe what
the Republican papers tell and to
stand by Johnson to the end.
Il am writing to advise you of the
true situation" says Day, knowing
that the Democrats will take his word
in preference to that of the Republi-
can newspapers.
Backing Down on Claims.
The Democrats all along have been
claiming that Johnson would get about
the same vote this year as two years
ago and that he would gain in many
sections. But In this letter Frank Day
says the indications are that johnson
will be elected by 10000, though it
might go higher. BY another week he
may be down to $4,000 and by Novem-
ber 3 he will be-well just wait.
Here is the whole letter. Read it
and read what there is between the
lines:
That period which comes in every
campaign when the opposition at
tempts by concerted claims of victory
to stampede the voters has been
reached in this campaign.
THE fact that the great metropoli-
tan press of the state is controlled by
the leaders Of the opposition gives
them opportunity to exploit every
crossroads political meeting into a.
great political demonstration. This is
now being done in the hope Of stam-
peding the voters into the Jacobson
camp. am writing to you that you

son announced before the Cleveland
letter was published that it must be

Of the Associated Press:

l knew that Mr.. Cleveland had never
had any official dealings with Judge
Taft, except in single instance in
volving disagreement. l knew that
Mr.. Cleveland was in no condition to
write such a letter at or near the
date of its alleged composition, and
thought I knew enough of Mr.. Cleve-
lands working methods and habits of
mind, to know that he would put forth
nothing so important in such a way
The general text furnished matter for
further discredit since it treated of
events which had not come to pass,
and could not have been SO confident

ing and careful as the late ex-presi-
dent
Coming to town next day, / learn

spurious, by the New York Herald,

name Of Mr.. Clevelands executor was
miscalled, it being Frank s. Hastings,
and not Frederick s. Hastings, as it
had been printed.
Then went directly to Mr..
Carlisle and said to him: Mr.. Secre-
tary, Mr.. Cleveland's bitterest enemy
would welcome this and could ask
nothing worse to be used against his
memory. You know that was not
Mr.. Cleveland's enemy-though 1 new
er claimed to be his friend-but you
are his friend, his nearest living
friend, and yoa owe it as duty to
the dead, to run this down and expose
It.
"Mr. Carlisle thought with me that
Mr.. Cleveland had written nos such
letter and felt, though wholly with
drawn from politics, that it was his
duty to see justice done to this old
chiefs memory.

TRAGIC ENDING
OF HONEYMOON
Husband Killed by Rejected
Rival as He Sat Beside His
Bride

New Orleans, Oct 24.-On her bridal
tour which had begun scarcely one
hour before, and seated in a railroad
coach almost between her husband
and suitor for her hand, Mrs Fred
Van 1ngen last night saw the flash of
the suftor's revolver, felt the sudden
grip OF her husbands hand as the
bullet killed him, and then turned
and fought for her life. When the
girl appeared about to become the VIC
tim of the second bullet from the re-
volver, her uncle, man with grey
hair, but strong and cool under the
excitement, rushed up and thrust his
thumb beneath the hammer Of the
revolver. jamming the mechanism and
rendering the weapon harmless.
This was the story which the other
passengers on the Texas & Pacific
Cannon Ball" told when they reached
this city today, but the principal ac-
tors in the tragedy, most of whom are
connected with Louisiana's leading
families, have so far refused to dis
cuss the matter.
The former suitor is F. s. Reauve
Of Plaquemine, La, at which place
he was taken from the train and
placed under arrest last night. The
unfortunate husband was Prof. Fred
Van Ingen. prominent teacher Of
Alexandria, La, and relative of
former Governor Blanchard. The bride
is the daughter of James NJ. Rhorer,
one of the leading officials of Iberville
parish. residing at Baton Rouge.
