GRANT GETS ROA5 7.
CONTINUED from page rour.1

v. Matthews, A. H. Fleming and
Senator Forman. 1t Is hardly pos
slbly that Mr.. Grant means to cx.
clude members Of the Legislature or
congressman, butfit is hard to tell.
Now, as to the manner of selecting
delegates. Ohio county followed The
Kanawha plan. Wood county follow
ed no plan at all, except a plan of
consent. Monongalia county ap-
pointed its delegates after n primary
and so did Harrison. 1t is hardly
necessary to discuss the past plans
If the Republican party controls the
next legislature-for the party Is ir-
reVocaby pledged in platform to yass
a primary election law for nominating
the state ticket. In conclusion, there
can be of necessity but one Republl-
can party in this state and but one
Republican ticket from President to
district officers. No one can use the
Republican ticket on the ballot but
those entitled to the same, and the
Republican nominees can not be put
on other tickets without consent or
petition OF both. There will be put
one regular Republican electoral
ticket for President and there can be
but one and that will appear on the
Republican ticket.
The whole effect of the Grant
Scherr movement is to defeat, If sue
cessful, the entire Republican ticket
in this state. The attacks on the
senators and the Governor, the drag
gIng in by the Scherr organs OF the
Virginia debt question, the defama-
ton Of the leaders of the great coal
industry the attacks on and abuse Of
all the Republican party has done In
the last twelve years in West Virginia
and the bitterness and hate displayed
by the Grant committee are signs
which mean but one thing-the rutn
and defeat Of the party all along the
line, wherever the mal-contents can
get a sufficient foothold.
The Republican state committee is
working for the whole Republican
ticket. 1t believes the people Of West
Virginia will not vote to commit po-
litical suicide in order to crafty the
malice of a few. The false state
ments made TO bolster up the in
surgents cause should condemn It in
the eyes of all honest and fair-mind-
ed voters.

new DIRECTOR OF
"A. S. I. WORK in N. D.
AMERICAN SOCIETY or EQUITY
WILL SEND NEW MAN INTO
STATE WITHIN FEW DAYS TO
TAKE CHARGE OF oRcANIzA-
TIoN WORK or THE SOCIETY.

Word has been received in the city
that the American Society Of Equity
will send new man here from Chi
cago to take charge of the work Of or
ganization in North Dakota. He Is
expected to arrive here in few days
and will make his headquarters at
Casselton, where the head Offices of
the society in this state are located.
James Holes, a prominent farmer
and an active member of the society,
said this morning that the organiza-
tion is in much better shape in every
way than 1t has been for several years
and good results are to be expected
this fall. He said that a larger num-
Der of the farmers of the state have
pledged their wheat at 81 and their
fax at $1.sO per bushel. Mr.. Holes
also stated that the markets which the
society is operating in Chicago is
doing a good business and that the
labor organizations are lending more
assistance than ever before.
One of the labor unions of Chicago
has purchased $500 worth of stock in
the proposition and 1t is evident tina.
other unions will follow suit in this
matter, and there is reason to believe
that the society will secure what they
desire-the cooperation of the labor
organizations of the country.

HUNTERS PREPARE
FOR ANNUAL SHOOT
CHICKEN CROP THIS YEAR is
GOOD IN SPITE OF MANY AD-
VERSE TALES AND THE BIRDS
ARE SAID TO BE EXCEPTIONAL
LY LARGE THIS YEAR.

Fargo hunters are already starting
preparations for the annual prairie
chicken shooting. which viii begin one
month from today, Tuesday Sept. /,
and from now until the opening Of
the season the game dogs will be in
training and hunting preparations will
be much in evidence.
In spite of many adverse tales to
the contrary, most of the Fargo hunt
ers are of the opinion that the chicken
crop is good this year. Owing to the
early spring, the birds are much larg-
er than usual at this time Of the year
and there are many tales of those
who have been out prospecting, to the
effect that they have seen coveys which
are almost as large as year-old birds.
There is very little illegal hunting
attempted by the lovers of shooting i'm
this city and vicinity, the hunters in
most instances being true sports and
iwlling and indeed glad to abide by
the state laws regulating the pre-
servation of the king Of game birds.
There are many. however who will be
often in the country from now on.
working out their dogs and getting a
line on a cover or two Of chickens.
From now on 1T will also be we'll for
those owning good bird dogs to keep
a close watch ON them These dogs
are exceptionally valuable at this time
of the year and there are those who
are not above making a few dollars
by stealing a dog and selling him to
some hunter.

No Amount Of Rain Can Save Those
in Western Walsh.

Grafton News and Times: The
drouth is ended In the past ten DAYS
showers have occurred at one time or
another all over the north part of the
state. The first one at Grafton was
last Saturday, when a heavy downpour
thoroughly. soaked the ground. since
then there has been considerable ram
really more than Is necessary. The
same rain covered all of the county
except the extreme southwestern part
which, however, received a drenchina
some time before. There is no use
denying the fact that North Dakota s
crop will be short In many localities
the rain came too late Even here in
the heavy soil IL Is estimated that the
yield will be lowered one fourth. Some
fields In the western part OF the coun-
ty and completely devastated by the
hot weather and hot winds. SO that no
amount Of rain can produce crop.
In the valley all over the county there
will be grain, In some places even i
full crop, but on the hills there win
be but little worth cutting.

ONCE.
When arraigned before Judge Ryan
this morning, charged with petit lar
ceny. he pleaded guilty and was fined
$50, in lieu Of which he was committed
to the county Jail for thirty days.
McPeak gives as the cause of his
freak attempt at robbery the fact that
he was partially under the effects ef
liquor at the time He stated that he
did not realize what he was doing
until he had reached the door and
that naturally he tried his best TO
make a getaway. He did not admit

MAY CONTEST
THE ASSESSMENT
COUNTY EQUALIZATION BOARD
ASSESSES FRANCHISE OF UNION
LIGHT co. $4,000 AND COMPANY
FILES A PRoTEsT-Do NOT AS
sEss STREET r. r. co.

Whether the claim that an assess
ment against a franchise is a double
taxation and unconstitutional or
whether this kind of an assessment is
legal will probably be fought out in
the courts of Cass county, and then
in the supreme court as a result of
the assessment of $4,000 made late
yesterday against the Union Light
Heat and Power Co.'S franchise.
A protest was filed at once in the
office of the county auditor by the
Union Co. and while this does not
necessarily mean a contest in the
courts 1t is taken to mean that the
company will probably take that
course as it is the entering wedge for
contest of that kind.
The company claims that If this
assessment sticks thar 1t will raise
their expenses so that raise in, the
electric rates of the city will be neces-
sary In order for them to make up
this amount and Ii is probable that
even If the assessment stands that the
people will pay the tax in the end.
The board decided that they would
not make any assessment against the
franchise of the Fargo and Moorhead
Street Railway co,
