The roll of county conventions is
about called and it would be very
d1cttiult matter to sum upethe results
with any degree of certainty. The
sentiment of the state seems to point
with considerable assurance to a vic.
tory for what has been termed the
stalWart faction Of the party. This
however has been miscontsrued by
many. There are numerous counties
In the state which have gone. Stall.
wart and who are also in direct opposi.
tlon to Alexander Mckenzie! or his
kind for national committeeman. In
fact it would seem that this class of
stalWaarts is decidedly Id the lead. In
other words the state is; becoming
more and more republican. The fac.
tional lines are becoming so indistinct
that 1t is likely that by the. time of the
primaries they will have become so
obliterated that there will be a united
republican party in North Dakota. AS
it now stands there are two candidates,
johnson and Marshall, fighting for su-
premacy in the Insurgent camp, while
with the stalwarts is Hansbrough, who
Is opposing the Mckenzie ring, and
Little whose cause this ring espouses.
Thus 1t will seem that no faction of
the party is unit, and the bitterness
that has existed heretofore is fast
disappearing.

LIVING IN THE PAST,

1t would seem that Henry Waterson,
Of the Louisville Courier Journal is
living in the past. This Is not to be
wondered at when it is taken into con-
sideration that he has passed his three
score years and ten. He is now stand
ing with his back to the future and
looking into the past. Thus it would
seem when he says in a column editor
ial in his paper that the democratic
party in his state is all wrong because
of the stand it has taken on the pro-
hibition question and accuses those
favorable to prohibition of being 'intol-
Grant religionaries and fanatics" Mr..
Waterson goes farther than this. He
asserts that prohibition "annihilates
trade and demoralizes manhood" 1t
is very evident that MIR. Watterson Is
thinking of the times before the war
and Immediately thereafter when the
movement for the suppression of the
liquor had not gained the impetus that
it now has. Even his state of Ken
lucky is dry with the exception of a
few wet spots. The action in Ken
lucky was not taken by fanatics by
any manner Of means but by the best
people in all walks of life that the
state contains. His article reads like
an advertisement. for a distillery in
stead of the utterances of man whom
the people of this nation have looked
to the past for some of the brightest
utterances of the newspaper world.

HANsRRoUGH THE LOGICAL MAN

''H'sSoHoO17 IHE LOGICAL MAN
1t Is becoming more and more an
parent that the logical choice of the
republicans of the state for senator
Is Hon. H. G. Hansbrough. His service
and standing in the nation is such as
to give him more influence that any
new man that could be selected. What
Is most desired at this time is a man
that is free from corporate influence
and who can do the most for the ma:
ton and particularly for North Dakota
and It's people. 1t is time now that
factionalism be laid away and the PEG
pie be given a chance to make Sc
lection regardless of factions and past
political alignments. The sentiment lis
very strong against the corporate In
terests as represented by Mckenzie
and his cohorts. Mr.. Hansbrough is IN
direct opposition to this class las is
evidenced by his action in the opposi-
ton to the International Harvester CO.,
and other kindred interests. and q good
mark OF his standing In this regard
is the opposition that is being Waged
against Mr.. Hansbrough by McKenzIe,s
3lieutenants. The presidential cam
paign Is having tendency to- unite
the republican party all over the na.
ton and North Dakota is not q whit
behind in this regard. Along with this
comes the selection Of q candidate for

Because he refused to join a union Of
canal boat captains. William Johnston, the
skipper Of the canal boat Leslie, lying in
Newtown Creek at the Commercial street
pier in Williamsburg. was shot at early
yesterday morning after his boat had been
maliciously damaged. After the shooting
the assailants tried to throw the skipper
into the water. The skipper has had trouble
with union men for several months and has
been assaulted frequently. Recently, while
he and his family were asleep on their boat
somebody cast on the lines and let the boat
hoat out into the East River. The boat
narrowly escaped a collision.
Early yesterday morning Johnston and
bis family were aroused from their sleep
by three men smashing the cabin windows
and souttles and the cabin door. When the
captain went IN on deck he was attacked
and shot at several times. Then his aHsaii-
ants seized him and we're about 10 throw
him into the creek when he fought himself
free and shouted for help.
A policeman heard his cries and followed
three men whom he saw running across
the decks OF other boats. The policeman
overhauled them and Capt. Johnston
positively identified them as bis assailants.
They were taken to the GTeslpoint avenue
police station. where they said they were
deokhands on the canal boat Lizzie r.

and Frank Bottscher. Each was held on
charges Of attempted felonious assault and
mischief. and on being arraigned
