MCCLELLAN REAL MAYOR
Says Contest Brought by Hearst Ha,
Lost Him $4,000.


New York, July 1.-Mayor George
lB. McClellans title to the office of
mayor Of New York city was made
clear by decision OF Justice Lambert
in the Supreme Court yesterday, when
he ordered jury to render a verdict
that Mcclellan was duly elected
mayor in 1905. w. r. Hearst has
been contesting the mayors right to
the office practically ever since the
election, and as result of his charges
OF fraud and demand for recount
7 of ballots, the legislature passed a
law enabling recount Attorney
General w. s. Jackson then institut-
ed quo warranto proceedings on be-
half of the people, in which both Mr..
Hearst and Mayor Mcclellan were
named as defendants.
I The recount left Mcclellan with q
plurality of 1865, whereupon Clar-
enee j. Shearn, representing Mr..
Jackson, alleged that the ballot boxes
had been STUFFED" and requested the
court to throw out the entire vote of
l112 election districts in which he
charged that the ballots found in the
DOACS SANCSuCu Tie uuulUeI VI ItBla'
tered votes. Justice Lambert, how
ever, declined to throw out the con-
tested districts.
The justice then declared that the
original count was quite as complete
as the one made in court, and that
the evidence showed no fraud so far
as the election inspectors we're con
cerned He said IL legal voters could

been attempted in this case, this form

ment in which, after defining his at
titude in regard to the recount, he
states that he has been forced to pay
out forty thousand dollars to defend
his title, not including counsel fees
which are still unpaid.
Mayor Mcclellan says that he has
no regret as to the course he pur
sued, and that he feels that the con
troversy will discourage the bringing
of election contests of this sort In
the future. He said that had he sus
lpected that his election was the re
suit of fraud, he would have acted
differently.

FORAKER AND HASKELL.

Hearst's charges against Senator
Foraker Of Ohio and Governor Has
kell of Oklahoma set both the repub-
Iicans and democrats on their ears
but 1t is interesting to note the diff
ference in the results. Taft and the
republicans have gained by the For
aker scandal-while Bryan and the
democrats have suffered disaster in
the Haskell affair.
The well known opposition of For
aker to Roosevelt and Taft-as well
as his unfriendlness to their aggres-
sive political action-has been a cause
Of national comment. The expose Of
his connection with the Standard Oil
Co. was big surprise but instead of
injuring the republican party or It's
presidential nominee both have gain
ed by the publicity of the connection
between Foraker and the big oil octo-
pus.
Foraker had endeavored to force
Taft into a compromise-both before
and since the national republican con-
vention--but Taft ignored him-pub-
licly announcing he would rather go
down to defeat than to being associ-
ated with Foraker in any form of
political compromise.
Bryan made Haskell his sponsor,
had the Oklahoma governor made the
treasurer of the democratic national
committee, rushed to his defense when
the Hearst charges were made--de-
manded an investigation, got 1t and
was dragged down when Haskell was
forced from his position.

HEALING ACTS IN
DUPONT'S PLACE

New York. Sept. 20. Chairman
Hitchcock, Of the republican national
committee, said today that Charles HI.
Healing of Indianapolis, will act in the
place of T. Coleman Du Pont, who re-
signed from the executive committee
of the national committee and a di-
rector of the speakers bureau The
permanent successor to Mr.. Du Pont
will be named before next week. The
chairman has no name under consid-
Grafton for the place as yet Mr..
Hitchcock reiterated his statement OF
earlier in the day that he knew moth
ing whatever of Treasurer Sheldon.
The denial of the authenticity of an
article, claimed to have been written
by Grover Cleveland and published in
the New York Times, caused consid-
erable discussion at republican head
quarters. r. ". Oulihan, In charge OF
the literary bureau of the republican
national committee, made the follow
ing statement on the subject:
THE republican national committee
had many calls for the Cleveland let
ter and we sent out number of copies
as a campaign document Mr. Hast
ings, an executor of the Cleveland
estate, told me two days ago that he
was convinced that the letter was gem
uine. This was after the authority of
the letter had been questioned. Now
he comes out today and says he be-
lieves it was not authoritative Conse-
quently. so far as the republican ma
tional committee is concerned, no fur
ther attention win be given to the
document.

During the four years of Jefferson's
first term as president the country
had prospered beyond precedent. The
Louisiana purchase had been perfect
ed, greatly to the satisfaction Of the
people. The government had been
conducted with economy and the ma
tional debt had been largely reduced.
The national honor had been defended
against the Barbary pirates. Jeffe,
sons popularity was at its zenith, and
he received as ready a denomination
on the republican ticket for president
as had Washington the first time. 1t
must still be horne in mind that the
republican party of jefferson was not
the republican party Of today, but IL
anything the democratic party of to-
day.
Jefferson was unanimously renomin-
ated in February, 1904, by caucus of
the republican senators and represen-
tatives in congress George Clinton,
many years governor of New York
state, became his associate on the
ticket as the nominee of the republi-
cans for vice president. Clinton had
run once before for vice president, be-
ing defeated at the time of Washing
toms second election, by John Adams.
The evidence OF the popularity of the
republican party and this ticket of
Jefferson and Clinton robbed the fast
declining federalist party of any hope
of success. The federalists numbered
but handful and their strength was
confined almost entirely to New Eng
land. Many of them had vigorously
opposed the purchase of Louisiana and
had even discussed the withdrawal of

TAFT MADE a HIT.

North Dakotans have seen and
heard william H. Taft and his trip
to North Dakota has been vote
getter. The big ohioan measured up
to all the preliminary estimates OF the
man and no one was disappointed.
Taft In not a great orator. He
doesn't sway the muititudes as Bryan
and other great orators can--but he 10
a forceful speaker. His auditors are
impressed with his earnestness and
seriousness and his efforts get results
Taft is a rare combination of brain
and brawn. He thinks readily on his
feet and Is thorough master of the
situation. He Is magnetic and i'm
pressive and wins his way into the
hearts Of the audiences.
The Taft smile! That's the big
vote gstter of the campaign. 1t Is
expansive ---infectious--fra
some. II takes you right into his con-
fdence. When you see the merry
twinkle in Tafts eye, then watch that
ripping smile--you feel that you have
met a warm friend--a man that you
can tie to and bet your last slmolean
that he Is on the square
Taft leaves the impression that he
has immense reserve force. He never
appears to have exhausted either him
self or his subject. He seems to have
something on tap for an emergency.
He is a mighty man physically, men
tally, morally and politically. This
country will be safe with him in the
presidential chair and the confidence
his presence inspires Is a guarantee
that the people OF this country will
see that he will be chosen to perpetu-
ate the policies which Roosevelt has
made so popular.

Another excellent bill is offered at
the Grand. the first performance Of the
new snow for the week being at yes
terday's matinee. Every seat in the
honse was taken and the audience
was most generous with its applause
for all the numbers. The headlines
are Hill. Cherry s. Hill, bicycle and
unicycle riders, who have an act that
is wonder. The work with the uni
cycles is particularly daring, One OF
the stunts is for two men to balance
themselves on top of a shaft some ten
feet high. riding small wheel at the
base of the shaft with which they
have operating connection by series
of chains and sprocket wheels. The
act is a lengthy one and contains many
novelties which make it rightly q
headliner.

Hearst told his friends he will at

from time to time making the most
OF his speeches in this state, but that
the real thing viii not come until
later.
"rll cause a revolution in the con-
gress of the United States" Hearst

tions We're made that 1t would involve

None OF the Hearst knowing ones

seems to point to the president him.

Floyd House, arts pharmacy. This
large number attending a North Da-
kota institution of learning shows that
the Lidgerwood people possess good
Judgment and patriotism, and that in
things educational, at least, they do
not follow the "Rears, Roar Buck

stated that for three years past all

the eastern states from the unton and
the formation of an eastern confed-
eracy. The federalist ticket could not
compare for a passing moment with
that of the republican. They non-
mated Charles G. Pinckney of South
Carolina for president, and Rufus King
cf New Ytrk for vice president. They
made a particularly desperate effort
to secure the vote of New York state.
Their plan was to push Aaron Burr,
then vice president, as an Independent
candidate for governor, to succeed
Clintcn. republican nominee for presi-
dent to succeed Burr. Again Alexander
Hamilton entered the arena, and again
he threw his influence against Burr.
Again the old wounds were opened,
and almost on the eve of the presi-
Dental canvass Burr and Hamilton
fought their duel, which caused the
latters untimely end.
With such a condition existing 1t
was but the record of the decision of
an all wise providence when the votes
were formally counted and the result
determined. Jefferson and Clinton re-
ceived 162 electoral votes, while Pinck-
ney and King received but Ia. Only
Connecticut, Delaware and a part Of
Maryland remained true to what was
once the party OF Washington. The
federalist party was now on the verge
of disintegration, and the political
alignment of the country was to be
redrawn.
The election of 1904 was the first to
be held under the election law which
stands today, providing for the neces-
sity of president and vice president
of harmonious political views.
