ture is directed to elect. Great
personal popularity, therefore. and
campaigning ability may frequent
ly result in the nomination of a
senator of the opposite political
faith to the majority of the legis-

the right system, since there is a
party issue at stake in the selec-

Primary Law and senatorship.


The Oregon primary election
law results in the election of a
republican legislature and the
nomination of Chamberlain, a
democrat, for the senate. Since it
has always followed naturally that
a republican legislature would
elect a senator of its own political
creed, the Oregon result is worthy
of note as showing some of the Pc
culiar effects of the primary law
as applied to the senatorship. In
this state, republican voters select
their candidate for the senate. as
do the democrats. There is no
possibility Of the election of a
democrat by a republican legisla-
ture in the ordinary course Of
events. But in Oregon all the
people vote directly on the senator
ial candidates and the one receiv-
ing the majority of all the votes

Grand Forks as we'll as the Har-

their mission was. We can con-
ceive, however, of no possible hon.
est motive for their presence ex-
cept that it be in connection with
the raise in the price of Interna-
tional farm machinery that has
been made this year. These are
matters of the most vital impor-
tance to the farmers of North Da-
kota. The man that pays what
ever the corporations see fit to ask
him for the privilege of shipping
his grain, and who pays whatever
the corporation sees fit to ask him
for machinery to harvest his grain,
certainly should inquire into this
matter enough to learn the why's
and wherefore's. If these men at
tended that convention regardless
of what excuses might. be put up
for their presence, it is the best
reason in the world why every far

189 PETITIONS
WERE HEARD
With Judge Winchester on Bench,
Court Held Two Days, During
which Time 14O Of
The 189 Petitions Were Allowed, ia
Continued--No Court Cases
Were Tried

Court, which lasted but two
days convened last Monday morn
ing with Judge w. Fl. Winchester
on the bench. Erick Lyders ap-
peared on behalf of the govern
ment for naturalization purposes.
There were 500 people present
when court opened at the opera
house. No court cases were tried
but there were 189 petitions to be
acted upon. Ofthese l4O petitions
were allowed, 29 denied, and l8
continued and 2 withdrawn.
Most of the applicants were
German-Russians. In a good
many cases the government OBJ
jected on various grounds but in
many cases the objections were
overuled and the petitioner allowed
to take the oath of allegiance.
Many applicants had difficulty
with their petitions because their
original witnesses had not known
the petitioners the full five years
prior to the date of petition. The
witnesses must be able to testify
of personal knowledge that the ap-
plicant has resided in the United
States at least five years before
they sign the original application {.
The government is very solici-
tous as to the moral character of
our new citizens. Habitual drunk
eness in a prohibition state like
North Dakota is considered evi-
dence of lack of good morals.
Of course the fact that a man has
been arrested for a serious otfense
and especially if he has been con-
victed, negatives his good moral
character.
A thorough understanding Of the
requirements of the new naturaliz-
alton laws is necessary for those
contemplating taking out their Sc
cond papers and will avoid uane-
cessaay expense and trouble.
The government aimes to have
a representative present whenever
naturalization matters are heard in
the district court and each appli-
cant must submit himself to a
rigorous examination.
One old and crippled man VIII o
attended court was asked if he was
a citizen. He replied, "Yes, 1 got

applicants knew that Teddy

As Other People See Us.

AS Other People See Us.
There is general and outspok.
en- jealousy felt by the people of
the western states because Of the
influence exerted by congress, and
especially in the senate, by the
states of the east, notably New
England; and yet the western peo-
pie have only themselves to blame.
Eastern states, once they elect a
man to the senate, for example,
keep him there year after year,
and he grows into influence and
power. Committee assignments;
which in the upper house are ap-
portioned entirely by seniority,
fall to the member with long ser
vice in increasing Importance and
in that respect also the efficiency
of the old member is increased.
Western members, changing con-
stantly, rarely attain to the best
places. A striking instance is fur
nished by Oregon, Senator Fulton,
after one term, in which he has
shown marked ability, has just Sc
cured a place on the important
committee on judiciary and now
his state has decided to send an
other in his place: The new man
will, of course, have to begin at
the bottom. Senator Hansbrough
of North Dakota has after nearly
eighteen years of elvice, just Sc
cured the craftsmanship Of the
committee on agriculture which is
one of the new committees that
handles an appropriation bill, He
has, moreover, an important seat
on finance and other desirable
places which can be won only by
years of service, yet, his state is
seriously questioning the advisa-
bility of re-electing him and is
compelling him to make a stren-
GUS fight against opponents who
for many years, if successful would
be unable to render his state any,
thing like equally valuable sci vice.
The above clipping is taken
from a Pennsylvania paper. Ger
talnly there is no prejudice in the
press of Pennsylvania either for or
against Senator Hansbrough. It's
statements are made for the pur-
pose Of illustrating truth.
western members changing con-
stantly, rarely attain to the best

upon an unprejudiced observer Of
the. east. The case of Senator
Fulton is cited as an illustration
and while he is one of the able
new members, he was placed at
the bottom of the committees and

fore he was in position to do any,

power thus acquired to advance

now one of the few states whose

the craftsmanship held by Senator
Hansbrough and his position near

Instead Of Indulging in False Econ

Casselton Reporter: Patronizing
local people. Taking everything
into consideration, they can do as
we'll as the catalogue house, and it
should not be forgotten that when
we spend a dollar here practically
three-fourths of it remains in the
community. Taxes, rent, clerk
hire, building improvements, etc.,
must in large part be paid by the
home merchant; our schools and
churches look mainly to them and
the prosperity of the business man
means the prosperity of the town
and county.
Shoddy and trash form a large
part of the mail order houses out
put, and quality is in many cases
sacrificed to price, as they are we'll
aware that the ordinary individual
is not a judge of the value Of goods.
Official analysis Of their paints,
feed products and other lines show
that very often they are not what
they are represented to be, and
therefore the farmers and their
other patrons are many times de-
ceived.
When you buy from your local
merchants you see the goods before
you purchase; he cannot afford to
deal unfairly with you and now
days competition is SO keen that
prices are extremely low. Farmers
should remember too, that in
crowding out the local man he will
in the long run reduce the value
of his farm lands and deprive his
growing sons and daughters of
business opportunities as we'll.
Even supposing that in a few
things a slight saving is effected,
is it worth while to destroy town
in order to economic a few dol
lars?
The home merchants stand for
a donation to help every legitimate
enterprise projected by the city
and county, but the mail order
house contributes in no way to our
interests. They never give credit
and the draining of our rural dis
tricts of ready money in order to
enrich a few individuals who foist
inferior goods on us is nothing
less than a calamity. Should this
continue, millions and millions of
dollars worth of property will be
deprecated and the farmer will
suffer along with all others inter-
ested in the growth and prosperity
of the town.
Pay your cash to the local dealer
and order from him in as large
quantities as you do the catalogue
house and he will make you figures
that will satisfy, and we here note
that it is hardly fair to ask for
accommodation from the town
merchant and when times are good
send the ready cash to the outsider.
Think it well over and you will
come to the conclusion that all are
benefited by the growth and adj
Of the town, and, every
thing considered, the home mer-
chant is entitled to the patronage
Of the people.
