SPLENDID ORGANIZATION IS. At WORK.
Fargo N. D., Sept. 1.-THE Republicans of
this state are not going to rely popularity or
personality, or chance, or any other old thing
that is tickle, in the coming election. They are
working like beavers perfecting what will
doubtedly be the strongest organization yet seen
in this state.
Thomas Hall, assistant to National Committee
man Kennedy, and the nominal head Of the state
committee on organization matters. has visited
Devils Lake, Minot, Rugby and Williston during
the past week, and this week has been at Graf
ton Cakes and Fargo. where meetings have
been held for the purpose Of instructing and
ganizng the scattered members Of the organ
ization..
A number Of very careful polls are to be TAX
en- during the campaign, and the Republicans ex-
pect to know just exactly where to put in their
hardest lcks, and just about that time there will
be considerable doing dn the put line, and also
along the keeping put line.
Harmony is the watchword, and the efforts
along this line have borne good fruit There is
tightening of the lines, and more united front
to the enemy. The national fight has had much
to do with this, and the wounds Of the late re-
bellion are rapidly being healed into pleasant
!fulness.
Tom Hall has his forces we'll organized now,
and if good stin organization fight is worth
anything, the Republicans should easily take the
honey, comb and all, when the votes are counted
again this fall.
Even the bitter senatorial fight between Mr..
Marshall and Mr.. Johnson is not splitting the

The letter Of the governor to the Fargo Forum
Is being taken up by the Republicans who feel
that they have found q good opening on the
otherwise astute and careful Moses OF the state
Democrats. The effect sought is to discredt the
governor with the prohibitionists, and this has
already been partly accomplished It is con-
hdertly believed that the governor will thus
lose great deal Of his former strength. and it.
may mean his defeat. Mr.. johnson s making
good impression wherever he shows himself. and
this being presidential year, there u NO az

meander into the state capitol with the saue old
