have no particular pet theories,
except that l am A Republican oe-
cause I believe that no other parry
has written SO many glorious pages
of history as the party Of Lince.n AND
I believe it is today the party OF the
people as it was at the beginning.
also believe that Theodore Roose-
welt is a worthy successor to the noble
line Of his predecessors. also believe
that the Republican party is the
party of Progress and achievement,
party Of young men and men not
afraid to meet responsibility.
If nominated and elected, I shall
endeavor to carry out the Republican
party principles as interpreted by
Theodore Roosevelt during the past
seven years. l believe that today
there is a rising tide in human
thought which tends to honesty and
square deal to every man, and if
elected, shall endeavor to promote
the enactment of just laws and an &C.
onomical admins tration Of the state
affairs. The Ward county farmer is
almost universally the owner of the
farm he tills. He should dominate
and control the political and ecoao-
mical affairs of the district because he
is the mainstay and upon him the
burden Of taxation must fall heavily.
For some reason the farmers taxes
are unreasonably high and l am in
favor of our state revenue laws, the
creation of tax commission to the
end that all classes of property be
taxed fairly and honestly.
I believe that the permanent and
substantial growth Of this region
iustifies the belief that instead of
large appropriation for the
enlargement Of the normal schools
now in state, Minot should have a
well equipped and up to date normal
school; that it is the duty Of the
next Legislative Assembly to take
the necessary steps to bring this
about. II nominated and elected, /
pledge myself to subordinate other
matters to the carrying out Of this
idea.
If successful, I shall consider it a
paramount duty clearly entailed to be
always active and vigilant in season
and out Of season to safeguard the
rights Of all the people OF the 29th
Legislative District.

WON BET ON NUMBER
RAINY DAYS IN MAY

CHICAGO, ILL, June 2-(SpeciaD
1t rained in Chicago Saturday
night, and therefore Jim O'Leary, the
gambler, wins his $4,000 bet that
there would be eighteen rainy days
in May,
He thought he had won his bet
the day before, but Weather Forecas-
ter Cox declared it had rained only
seventeen days on the Federal build
ing. AS far as Cox is concerned, of
ticially, the Federal building is Chi
cago.
But the rain ends the dispute and
O'Leary has won his bet.
A year ago last December OLeary
bet a similar amount that the mer-
curry would not touch zero that win
ter. He won the bet, and since then
Chicago takes OLeary's work on the
weather His latest victory has only
fixed his status as a weather prophet
more firmly.
There is an improbable story float
ing around Chicago tonight that o.
Leary did not bet his own money, and
that he was only the agent of a man
high up in the Weather Department
in Washington, who took this specu-
lation method of proving the efficacy
of the new system of weather predic-
ton.
