county attorney of Wyandotte county,
against Geo. K Addison, J. L. B. Eager.
Larkin Norman, Alex Eagle and Robert
McAlpine. The county attorney sought
TO GUST these men from positions in the
Kansas City, Kan, city hall. At the time
these men were appointed to their posi-
tons there were old soldier applicants for
the places. The court in its decision held
that the preference law was mandatory
on all appointing officers but it left with
these officers the discretionary power to
determining whether the applicants were
competent or not. This practically multi
fies the desired effect of the old soldier
preference law.

The ticket headed by the Hon. g.
B. Little, as candidate for senator. is
one that cpmmends itself to all good
loyal and true men of the old poli-
tical faith in North Dakota. Mr..
Little is man whom I have known
for nearly thirty years. He has
been a successful man. A pioneer in
Dakota, he has been one who has
been constant in his efforts, in sea-
son and out Of season, to build up
this great state. Successful in BUSH
ness, successful in politics, success
full in all the affairs In which he has
been interested, he is a model man to
serve the state as it's representative
in the United States senate. Aught
cannot be said against his private
or public character. His enemies
have in vain tried to rake up some
thing in his record to his detriment,
but have signally failed. His record
stands before you in twenty years of
service in the state senate, in which
body he has been useful, faithful to
the interests of his constituents,
faithful to the Interests Of his state.
He is broad minded man, and IL the
interests of North Dakota are taken
into consideration he is just the man
at this juncture to fit into seat in
the senate of the United States. I
say this without any personal feeling
against Mr.. Hansbrough or for Mr..
Little; I say it in the interest of har-
mony, for the unification Of the par
ty and in the interest Of the entire
state of North Dakota. Perhaps 1t is
presumptuous for me to express opin-
ions on this occasion, but I want to
say to you that feel more at home
in this state, more interested in its
political affairs and III its prosperity
than perhaps many who reside In It.

Advice to Young Men.
AS an old time republican who
voted for Fremont and for Lincoln,
feel that I am entitled to give a
little advice to the boys who are
now parading SO gaily in the process
sion as it marches by. know that
they have high ideals and high
hopes, that they are urged on by all
the yigor OF. youth to do their duty
as they see it, and trust they will
see that duty Alright and that when
they go to the polls to vote on the
day. Of the primary election they will
bark back little and think who and
what the men were who in old terri
torial days struggled against difficult
ties to build up and to make this

state has been happily situated on
account of the hopeless minority in
which 1t has always been placed. If
these fellows, troubled with the
office itch, who have entered within
the folds Of the republican party
could be cast out and put over into
the democratic party, it could per-
haps inflict no greater injury upon
that organization than by SO doing.
Loyalty to Party Essential.
While / am on this subject wish
to say to my fellow republicans
throughout the state that loyalty to
party is as essential as loyalty to
country, if you believe in the princi-
pies Of the party to which you be-
long. As the party is now divided
into two factions with two tickets
presented, and the election is pri-
mary one to get at the will of the
people, these factions stand in re-
gard to each other like two opposite
parties; both have their tickets to
present to the people, and. both are
organizing hoping to obtain the VIC
tory. !,
As stalwart, wish to impress
upon the minds of those who are fol-
lowing under the banner OF stalwart
republicanism to stand 4 loyalty by
the ticket which has been presented,
stand to- it as.ssloyally as they ought
to stand to the ticket after it has
been nominated, whether it be insur-
gent or whether it be stalwart. If
the insurgent had anything to in
surge about, Ii there was anything
the trouble with him except discon-
tent at an imaginary wrong that had
been done or imaginary failures to
be appreciated by the public, I would
say to him: If you are thoroughly
convinced that you are right and
that those opposed to you are wrong,
you should stand as Loyalty by your
ticket. But I claim you have no
cause to insurge, you have no cause
to have a ticket in the field except
this: The desire of your leaders for
official position, for power and for
control of the organization. There
fore, my advice to you is to get out
from the tents Of iniquity and get in
to line and stand with the organiza-
ton for the grand old party and for
its principles.
