several changes since its inception.

fact that it still contained clauses that
were Objectionable 1t was then given
to the citv attorney who practically
reconstructed the whole document. In
this form it was presented to the coun
Gil for a third time and passed that
body without any objection.
On learning that there was likely to
be some opposition to the granting of
the franchise at the election, a mass
meeting was held in the town hall on
Friday evening. at which many citizens
were IN attendance.
After Mavor Barnett had stated the
purpose of the call of the meeting, Mr.
Chandler was asked to state the OBJ
ject of the company, which he did in
brief, saying that for some time past
he had been trying to secure applianc-
es for cooking with electricity, but had
met with no success. At least he had
been unable to secure a device that
would meet the demands of a house
hold. He then turned his attention to
gas to secure results, and spent several
weeks last summer in different cities
in California inspecting the different
gas plants. He then returned here and
formed the South Side Gas company,
with the following management:

Another Harmony Meeting.

Another harmony meeting has
been held, this time at Bismarck,
and has now gone down in the
annals Of history. The former
meeting at Fargo was full Of prom
ises, love Of the erring, ETC., and it
was natural to suppose that when
the next meeting occurred the fat
ted sheep would be brought forth,
and all prodigal sons, Satan in
cluded, would be invited to the
repast, and come forth washed in
the blood Of the lamb.
Looking at it from an outside
standpoint we cannot discoverthat
any greater results, leading to
harmony, were attained than at
any previous meeting. The same
idea of I'VE are all there ISL pre-
vailed in their deliberations this
time as formerly. The .holier
than thou sentiment seemed to
be in the majority. \

Tom Hall of Fargo, who has
been acting as secretary Of the
temporary organization Of the
state central committee, was
selected as secretary Of the execu.
tive committee and will
have personal charge Of the execu-
tive work Of the campaign.
Outside Of the organization the
work Of the committee the con.
struction Of a party platform was
the most important work of the
committee. The following are the
essential planks of the declaration
Of principles:
The PLATFORM.
Endorses the administrations OF
President Roosevelt.
Enthusiastically favors the ele-
ction Of Taft and Sherman.
Favors a revision Of the tariff
by the Republican party and the
elimination Of the tariff and on all
trust made articles.
Favors the deepening of the
waterways Of the country, the re-
clamation Of the said lands of the
west, and the reforestration Of the
timber regions Of the nation.
Favors either postal savings
banks with the money retained III
the community where the deposits
are made or the guarantee of the
deposits of national banks by the
federal government.
Recognizes the right Of both
capital and labor to organize for
mutual protection, but opposes the
issuance Of injunctions in labor
cases without a prior hearing and
notice thereof before the restrain
ing order is issued.
Pledges the party to the per-
petuation Of the primary election
law.
Favors the election Of United
States senators by direct vote of
the people.
Demands that state officials give
their personal attention to the
duties Of their Offices, and demand.
a residence by such officers at the
state capital.
Pledges the party to the main
tenance Of the prohibition law and
calls upon officials the party pledge
as to the enforcement thereof.
Commands and endorses the
action Of the Republican equaliza-
ton board in raising the valuation
Of railroad properties in the state
for taxation purposes, and declares
that the physical valuation Of
public service corporation should
be made by the state and federal
governments.
Advocates liberal appropriations
by the general government for the
improvement Of rivers and water
ways.
Demands the passage Of a
anti-pass Jaw by the
next legislature.
Favors state aid for the rural
schools.
Favors the. promotion Of forestry
and drainage by the

with reference to state officials
residing at the capitol during their
terms Of Office. The Leader has
always believed that state officers
should attend to the business Of
their respective Offices personally,
where they could be seen and in
terviewed by the people who elected
them. The clerks in the Offices
may have done we'll, but if they
are to shoulder the entire burden
and responsibility why not give
the Offices to the clerks instead of
to non-residents. Gov. Burke, a
democrat, has set an example by
making his residence at Bismarck,
and must republicans learn from a
democrat the proper way to con-
duct an office?
Mclean county was also going
to be set right by putting in w
L. Nuessle as Judiciary committee
man. That would have been along
the line Of harmony, but in the
end the name of A. Van Horn Of
Bismarck was substituted instead.
Nuessle may learn something
about politics after awhile and not
monkey with the buzz-saw.
The article below from the Fo-
run was evidently read by the
newspaper men west of the river
and they came to the meeting to
see if it meant business.
Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. l.
McKenzie's man, Jim Kennedy,
having just returned from Hot
Springs, Va, where he went to
talk over'' the situation in North
Dakota with Candidate Taft, and
arranged for the necessary corrup-
ton fund with which to keep
North Dakota safely in the Re-
publican column, has issued a
call for another harmony" meet
ing. The next meeting is. to be
held at Devils Lake, Sept. 8, at
1890 o'clock in the forenoon, and
special invitations have been is
sued to all Republican newspaper
men Of the second judicial district
to be present.
In the letter Mr.. Kennedy is
sending out to the boys to come
and get a piece Of the fund, MI.
Kennedy says:
The candidates will all be pres
ent as will also the officers of the
county central committee for all
counties west Of thes Missouri river,
and [ hope you will make every
possible effort to attend. The
candidates feel that they would
like to become personally acquaint-
ed with the newspaper men Of this
and think this getting to-
gether and talking over conditions
will be conducive of much good.
1 hope to meet you at the meeting
week from Tuesday, and if you
cannot come, won't you please
write me?
EFT is understood that mileage
will be issued to all those
who have not already been pro-
for, application to be made
in regular form. Those who are
timid about writing letters may
wait until they arrive at Devils
where they will have an
opportunity to talk business with
out going on record, and have their
car fare returned to them at the
same time.
Don't forget the day. and date,
boys, and if you can't come, won't
you please write ?"-From the Fo-
rum, Friday, Aug, %. 1908.
These newspaper men Of the

they would be recognized and that

innate share Of the republican cam
paiign fund to be used this fall,

CLAIMS: *oF CAPITAL VERSUS
r.. LABOR scLAlMs.

The following is from an address
delivered by Robert G.. Ingersoll IS
years ago andd published in the press
OF the country at that time:
Capital has always claimed, and
still claims, the right to combine.
Manufacturers meet and determine
prices, even in spite of the great law
of supply and demand. Have the Ia
borers the same right to consult and
combine? The ricn meet in the bank,
club house or parlor. Workingmen,
when they combine, gather in the
street. - ALL the organized forces Of
society are against them. Capital has
the army and navy, the legislative, the
judicial and executive. departments
When the rich combine it is for the
purpose of Exchanging IDEAS When
the poor combine it is a conspiracy.
If they. act in concert-if they really
do something is a mob If they
defend themselves 1t is treason. How
is it the rich can control the depart
ments Of government? In this country
the political power is equally divided
among men. There are certainly more
poor than rich. Why should the rich
control? Why should not the laborers
combine for the: purpose Of controlling
the executive, the Legislative and judi
"cial departments ?::~ Will they ever find
how powerful they are? A cry comes
from the oppressed, from the hungry
from the downttodden, from the un-
fortunate, from the despised, from
men who despair and from women
who weep, There are times when
mendicants become revolutionists-
when rag becomes banner, under
which the noblest and the braves,
battle for right"

- w. E. McEwen, secretary of the
State. Federation of Labor, in his adj
dress last night at the Plymouth Con-
gregational church, compared the la
Dor problem Of today with that faced
by the children of Israel when held in
bondage Of Pharaoh, as told in the
Old Testament.
Mr.. McEwen said that the Israelites
had been promised many things by
Pharaoh, but he never kept his prom
Use, and, finally, they were moved to
council among themselves to find a
way to get from Pharaoh's rule. They
chose Moses as their business agent
OF the brickmakers' union, brick MAX
, ing being the principal industry Of
that day, and he. negotiated cunningly
with the hard-handed ruler. Councils
wehe held, but Pharaoh could be held
to no promise. Finally matters came
to such a pass that the children of
Israel became exasperated and made
d. strike for liberty. Their trials and
fluctuations on their journey to the
PROMISED land are we'll known to every
student of the Bible" said Mr.. Nc
