Announcement.

I hereby announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
mebersof the House of Representa-
tives Of the Legislative Assembly of
the state Of North Dakota for the 29th
District at the primary election to be
held on June gath, 1908.
| have no particular pet theories,
except that l am a Republican De
cause believe that no other party
has written so many glorious pages
Of history as the party of Lincoln and
l believe it is today the party Of the
people as it was at the beginning.
I also believe that Theodore Roose-
welt is a worthy successor to the noble
line of his predecessors. I also believe
that the Republican party is the
party of Progress and achievement,
a party of young men and men not
afraid to meet responsibility.
II nominated and elected, I shall
endeavor to carry out the Republican
party principles as interpreted by
Theodore Roosevelt during the past
seven years. l believe that today
there is rising tide in human
thought which tends to honesty and
a square deal to every man, and IT
elected, l shall endeavor to promote
the enactment of just laws and an &C.
onomical administration of the state
affairs. The Ward county farmer is
almost universally the owner Of the
farm he tills. He should dominate
and control the political and econo-
mical affairs OF the district because he
is the mainstay and upon him the
burden OF taxation must fall heavily
For some reason the farmers. taxes
are unreasonab1y high and I am in
favor Of our state revenue laws, the
creation OF ., tax commission to the
end that all classes Of property be
taxed fairly and honestly.
I believe that the permanent and
substantial gsowth Of this region
justifies the belief that instead Of
making . large appropriation for the
enlargement OF the normal schools
now in state, Minot should have a
well equipped and up to date normal
school: that It is the duty Of the
next Legislative Assembly to take
the necessary steps to bring this
about. II nominated and elected, I
pledge myself to subordinate other
matters to the carrying ont Of this
idea.
& II successful. I shall consider It .
paramount duty clesf entailed to be
always active and 4igilant In season
and out Of season to safeguard the
lights o IN the people Of the 18th

TEDDY the four-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Emery F. Johnson, who
with his father returned few days
before from the Pacific coast, had
quite an exciting experience and mar
rowly escaped what might have been
a fatal accident Monday. While
playing about the house of his grand
father, j. ]. Johnson, where he and
his father are stopping, ne lifted the
cistern cover which, being quite
heavy drug him into the cistern by
it's weight the lid closing over him.
His cries succeeded in locating him
to the women folks at the house, but
not until the cellar and various other
places had first been searched. He
had succeeded in keeping himself
above the water by grasping the pipe
of the cistern pump and hanging on
until he was discovered, and then a
garden rake was passed to him and
Selling hold of this he was safely
rescued. In letting go of the pump
pipe to seize the rake he went to
the bottom, but he displayed presence
of mind on coming to the surface to
grasp the rake and hold on until ne
was landed safely outside the cistern.

The voluntary sacrifice of the ire
pressible Tibbles has not awaited to
exculpate Mr.. Bryan from the suspi-
cion that attaches to the contribution
alleged to have come from Ryan to
aid in the Nebraska campaign. The
inexpressible Thomas ~confesses that
he had IS, 000--one-third of the total
for the influence Of his paper. This
IS the only real reflection yet made on
the wisdom of Mayor Jim in the ex-
penditure OF the money in question.
although Mr.. Tibbles says himself that
he gave the national committeeman
value received.
But the ugly fact still remains that
the Doodle sent from the east was ex-
pended in Nebraska by the men who
were most intimately associated with
Mr.. Bryan, and who we're in charge
of the administration of the party's
affairs in Nebraska because they were
close to Mr.. Bryan and were trusted
by him. These men are still close to
Mr.. Bryan and still have his confidence,
and it is the contemplation of this con
dition that causes surprise when MI.
Bryan boldly disclaims any knowledge
of the receipt of the money or it's ex-
penditure.
Tibbles' gallant rush to the rescue
is picturesque, as might be expected
from this stormy petrol of politics. but
is not of sufficient moment to attract
attention from the main question. Mr..
Bryan, as a champion of publicity for
campaign contributions, is being given
a remarkably Illuminating, If not effec-
tive, example.

The democrats of Maryland have
furnished the latest demonstration of
the inherent weakness of the move
ment within the democratic party to
defeat Mr.. Bryan for the nomination
at Denver. The anti-Bryan forces
were expecting great things from
Maryland, and not without reason.
The state is the only one in the south
that has persistently and consistently
refused to accommodate its views on
national issues to Mr.. Bryan's. The
state gave a majority to Mr.. Mckinley
in 1896 of 1000 and over, and went
republican in 1900 by over $4,000. In
the meantime, the state officers were
democrats and the party has had con
troll of the state since 1872. In 1904,
with a gold standard democrat at the
head Of the national ticket. the repub-
licans carried the state by the close
squeeze of flfty-one plurality and
divided the vote in the electoral col
lege. Since then the state has elected
another democratic governor and has
a 2 to l majority In the state legisla-
ture.
Senator Rayner and other leading
democrats of the state have been elo-
quent for several years on the neoes-
sity Of divorcing the democratic party
of the state from the vagaries of Bry-
anism. Nearly all the state leaders
are anti-Bryan and yet, when the on
vention was held to select delegates to
the convention at Denver. the anti
Bryan forces sought cover. They de-
teated. it is true. a resolution instruct
ing the delegates to support Bryan,
but quit at that. Wher 1t came to the
selection of delegates-at-large both of
the United States senator's pleaded Eu-
ropean or vacation agreements and II
looked for a time as though it would
be necessary to resort to the draft to
secure men upon whom the honor
could be thrusted. The governor, the
attorney general, Murray Vandiver and
j. F. c. Talbot we're finally chosen in
default of more prominent democrats
who absolutely refused to serve on
the delegation. The anti-Bryan forces
simply surrendered and agreed not &c
impose the unit rule. so that four votes
out of the states sixteen could be de-
livered TO Bryan.
The Maryland baekdown shows the
collapse Of the serious opposition tc
Mr.. Bryan's nomination. If there had
been any excuse for carrying on the
contest. Maryland. the leader of anti
Bryan sentiment, would doubtless
have sent a lighting delegation to Den.
yer TO oppose his nomination. Tht

have apparently taken their share o.

The preliminary estimate by the
government of the acreage and yield
Of spring wheat contains the pleasing
prospect that the wheat crop for the
year will be very considerably in ex-
cess Of hat OF 1907, with the prospect
that II may even exceed the bumper
yield OF 1905, when we harvested close
to three-quarters Of a billion bushels.
The government report shows a total
of 1~7,710.0OO acres of spring wheat,
or more than 631, 900 acres more than
for last year, with the condition much
better than that Of a year ago and sew
eral points higher than for the ten
year period. The reported condition
on winter wheat shows a slight de-
cline from the May 1 report, but about
equal to the normal average. The
acreage of winter wheat is $4,000
acres larger than for last year.
Careful investigation of the winter
wheat crop in the different sections
indicates a heavier average yield than
last year. Rust and the Hessian fy
have wrought some damage in Kan
sas and in some sections the foods
have destroyed portions Of the crop,
but the outlook as a whole is for a
larger harvest in 1908 than ever be-
fore. The Canadian yield is estimated
by railroad experts at 100, 000, 900

being made are realized America, in
Guiding Canada, will come close this
year to raising a round billion bush
els of wheat. With every prospect
that prices will continue close to
their present range, the inevitable re-
suit will be the addition to the wealth
Of the country of a volume Of money
that will hasten a complete restora-
ton of business in all lines.
n 1t is too early yet to speak with
confidence of the corn prospect. The
continued wet weather is generally
considered %prejudicial to prospects,
but a wet soil and midsummer heat
form a good combination, and 1t is
never time to worry about corn until
1t is found that the sun is not hot in
July and August. When the warm
weather comes, the farmer will, of
course, have an unusually heavy
fight with the weeds, but there is still
abundant time for the production of a
bumper corn crop. 1t must be remem-
bered, too, that what corn may lose
by moisture is gained by hay, a crop
that was valued last year at $3.50, 0O0,-
900, or more than the value of the
nations cotton crop. The hay crop
is already assured, and there is yet
ample time for the corn crop to hurry
along and arrive on schedule time.
The corn production last year was
valued by the Department Of Agricul-
ture at $3.50. 901. 900, or one-third
more than lie appropriations of the
last congress for all the expenses and
enterprises of the federal government
and its colonial possessions. With a
record corn, wheat and hay crop, the
great west will do its share toward
giving the nation the most prosperous
times IL has ever known.
