The contest for nomination of coun-
ty commissioner for the fourth district
of Ramsey county which has been in
stituted by Mr.. VanLiew does not
necessarily reflect discredit upon Mr..
Emigh, the candidate, as things now
stand. The contention is that there
were irregularities on the part of the
officials in charge of the primary cleo
ton in the second ward in this city and
that they did not act in accordance
with the primary laws. This may be
So We are not familiar with the cir
cumstances on which the contest is
based, but we do feel that in justice
to Mr.. Emigh it is becoming of us at
this time to assume that he was not a
party to any irregularities if any there
were. Mr.. Emigh is not resident OF
the second ward in this city, was in no
way connected with the officials in
charge of the election in that precinct
and we firmly believe that he was not
responsible if the election was not car
ried on as it should have been.

BRANDON, MANITOBA.

An excursion was run from this city
over the st. John branch of the Great
Northern railroad to Brandon, Mani
toba last Tuesday, the occasion being
the annual fair at that city.
The citizens of Manitoba went to
considerable expense to get this train
run and take the Devils Lake band to
their city, with the view to not only
advertising their city but also to es-
tablish closer relations between that
city and Devils Lake
1t is the wish of the business men of
this wide-awake Canadian city to form
an alliance with Devils Lake such as
now exists between Winnipeg and
Fargo and Grand Forks. The railroad

The primary gave us a good repub-
lican ticket, made up of republicans
from all factions, all good men and all
worthy of the support of all good re-
publicans. The greatest prospects are
now before us that we have had for
years. 1t is the duty and should be
the pleasure of every republican to
stay by their party and not be swerv'
ed by sympathy to split up the ticket
There is much to be lost by this and
absolutely nothing to be gained fol-
your own party.

you can in most cases trace it back
to the argument Oh some democrat.

THE PARTY OF BRYAN.

The eastern Democratic press COM
plains because Bryan refuses to take
the welfare of the Democratic party
into account But their error lies in
the fact that they consider Bryan as
only a leader in the party, whereas he
is the party Eliminate him and most
of his following would go with him.
What then would be left? Not enough
for first class obseQues unless the min
lister and the pail bearers were drafted
from the curious throng attracted by
the walls of the mourners.
Therefore to say that Bryan takes no
account of the party is tantamount to
declaring that he takes no account Of
himself. and that is the opposite to the
truth. From the day he entered the
game Of national politics he has kept
himself in mind. Never for moment,
awake or asleep, has he forgotten
Bryan. Everything that he commands
the Democratic party to do is planned
carefully with special reference to its
effect on Mr.. Bryans future, political
and personal
Of course no party can long survive
such complete one-man domination. 1t
is proof of the Nebraskan's wonderful
magnetism and resourcefuFness that he
has been able to recruit from other
parties and thus fill some Of the gaps
made by deserters. But he who can
not detect signs of gradual dissolution
is blind to conditions. There may be
nearly as many men as ever who cal
themselves Democrats, but they are
not of the Bryan type. They realize
their he1plessness in the present strug
gle and their only hope is that thi
year will witness the breaking o
Bryan's influence. Until that influence
lis broken, they feel that the bow o
promise is not for them.

PRIVATE CITIZEN TAFT.

With his retirement from the war
portfolio, Secretary Taft has complet-
ed % years of public service. Other
men have longer records, many doubt
less have been as faithful in the per-
Torrance of their duties, but none
have cleaner or better record.
From the day Mr.. Taft entered the
employ of the government as solicitor
general, in his later capacity as judge
on the federal bench, down through
the years spent in establishing order
out of the Philippine turbulence, in re-
adjusting affairs in Cuba and Porto
Rico, in administering the work of the
war department and in supervising the
construction of the Panama canal, his
energies have been centered on the
tasks presented with the single pur-
pose of giving his country the best ser.
vice of which he was capable. Res
possibility of that magnitude and var
iety falls to but few men and the man
ner in which he has met it without a
serious error to mar the record makes
his achievement almost unparalleled.
The people accept Mr.. Tafts retire
ment with complaisance, because they
confidently expect to give him the pro-
motion which he has so justly earned.
And it is a matter for cOngratulation
that his work has been of character
to thoroughly equip him for the high
Office to which he aspires.
