The Washington correspondent, of
the Journal seems to think that the
national republican prospects are
stormy ones, and that there will be
many contests before the national COM
mittee. The correspondent of the
Journal states also that Committee
man Mckenzie from North Dakota
has informed the president that he
will vote to seat the Taft delegations
against contestants, except where the
right is clearly on the side of the
contestants. Mr.. Mckenzie has been
long time friend Of President Roose.
welt and while he has favored the
denomination of the president, the re-
fusal of the president to consider a
nomination for second elective term
has found Mr.. Mckenzie a supporter
of Taft as the presidents choice to
carry out his policies.

A. E. WATSON FEELS AN TNjUs.
TlcE HAS BEEN DONE HIM in
DISTRICT COURT.

Aubrey e. Watson OF FIT. Rice, call
ed at the Tribune Office last evening
and state that he is not at all salts
fed with the way the case against
him in district court terminated yes
terday. He states that mere dis
missal Of the action against him by
the states attorney may not put him
right before the public, and states he
would welcome an open investigation
of the whole affair.
He states that he can easily demon
strate that no case whatever could
be made against him and that notwith-
standing the failure of the authori-
ties to connect him with the case he
has received a whole lot of unpleas-
ant notoriety, and has been put to a
great deal of expense in employing an
attorney and bringing and keeping
witnesses in attendance at court. In
short, he is not satisfied.

Will SUPPORT
ANTI-LlQUOR BILL
NORTH DAKOTA SENATORS AND
coNGREssMEN FAVOR PEND
ING FEDERAL BILL


It is announced from Grand Forks
that States Attorney J. B. Wineman
has received letters from Senator H.
g. Hansbrough and Congressman A.
J. Gronna in which they state that
they will support the bill to prohibit
shipments of liquor into prohibition
states. A bill is pending in congress
at the present time. It is know that
Senator McCumber and Congressman
Marshall are also favorable to the
measure.
States Attorney Wineman recently
wrote to the North Dakota delegation
to ascertain il they would favor the
bill. The states attorney realizes that
such law will mean much for North
Dakota in handling the liquor traffic.
In their letters to States Attorney
Wineman Senator Hansbrough and
Congressman Gronna express the be-
lief that the bill will be passed at
this session of congress.

We think it is pretty clearly estab-
lished that Mr.. Bryan is to be the dem
ocratic nominee for president. While
there have been many suggestions of
other candidates, Mr.. Bryan is get
ting the delegates as rapidly as the
conventions are being held. In the
eastern states he is likely to meet
with opposition, but in the west and
south the magic of his name is re-
markable and the delegates are being
instructed for him with enthusiasm.
The eastern democrats look with hope
lessness upon his candidacy. They
cannot see in it any hope of success.
But the radicals are determined that
he shall go again before the people
as a candidate and the other fellows
are grinning and bearing it as best they
can. On the republican side of the
fence it looks strongly life Taft, I'M
less, as some prophets profess to see,
there is the shadow of the president
back OF it. But the president has de-
clared that he is not candidate and
people generally are taking him at
his word. AS between Taft and Roose.
welt, the issue of the election is not
difficult to predict with a considerable
degree of certainty.

GROWTH OF TIE WEST

jamestown Alert: The vote on gov
ernor at the last state election was
approximately $4,000. The vote of
the new settlements that have been
made west of the Missouri river was
very small compared with what it is
claimed will be the vote next fall.
In what may be termed the "Slope
country" west Of the Missouri river
there are six counties whose vote will
be largely increased owing to the con-
.struetion of the Milwaukee road and
the heavy settlement in that part Of
the state. There are four other coun.
ties west Of the big Missouri where
there has been large new settlement
also. Outside of these, the counties
OF Williams and Ward, lying north of
the Missouri river as far as the east
ern border counties are reported to
have had large increases in voters.
The prevailing sentiment among
new settlers who are unfamiliar will,
the older controversies Of the eastern
part of the state is said to be to stand
for locality and to be for Slope in
ferests first. In the ten counties as
now organized west of the Missouri
river, it is claimed there will be a
phenomenal increase OF voters, and
Ia six OF these counties of which four
were not organized at the last cleo
ton, but cast their vote with older

The candidacy of C. A. Johnson OF
Minot, for the Office of governor, has
been announced from that place. 1t
is not surprising that Ward county
should aspire to the governorship, and
in Mr.. johnson people Of that sec
ton have a candidate who is in every
way qualified for the high Office he
seeks. He has been member of the
legislature from that section. has the
confidence of the people there general
ly, is personally clean and above re-
preach and should he be chosen for
the office of governor no citizen of
the state would need to fear that the
duties of his Office would not be cred
itably and intelligently performed. Mr..
Johnson is a young man, active. en-
thusiastic, and has a large following
of personal and political friends. His
public record is like his private life
clean and above criticism. The
western part of the state will natur-
ally look upon Johnson's candidacy
with that enthusiasm that comes from
local pride and desire to be fifty rep
resented in the cabinet of the state
government. The section Of the coun-
try from which Mr.. Johnson comes
has increased in population until
Ward stands with the first counties
in the state in wealth and population.
Doubtless under all the circumstances
Mr.. Johnson will get surprisingly
large vote in the northern and west
ern part of the state as nucleus from
which to carry on a successful cam
paign.

AS TO PARTY CAUCUS AND CON-
MENTIONS

In the official call for the republic
an state convention to be held in Mi
not on May 18th, the attention of
county central committees is called to
the fact that the choosing of delegates
to national conventions and the NOM
ination of presidential electors to be
voted for next November is exempted
from the provisions of the primary
law of 1907 and it is necessary, there
fore, to go back to the old caucus
system to elect delegates in the vari-
Gus counties to attend the state con-
yentions this year. Public, printed or
posted notice of the time and place
of holding caucuses in the various
counties should be given at least ten
days before holding same same to
be held between O'clock and 8
O'clock p. M, polls to be kept open at
least one hour-the hour. to be deter.
mined by the county committee. The
provisions of sections 497a to 497c re-
yised codes 1899, sections 49S-60O re-
vised codes 1905, should be followed.
The next legislature will be called
upon to amend the present primary
law in some particulars so that there
may be no chance for misunderstand-
ing. For instance, there is differ
ence of opinion in the, construction of
sections and. IS Of the; primary law
of 1907 determining the time when
perasaons OF candidates for Office may
be circulated and signed. Petitions for
certain candidates must be fled with
the state auditor mot more than six
ty nor less than thirty days prior to
date of primary election and anoth-
er proviso says that mo petition shall
be circulated or signed more than
ninety days previous to the time when
any petition is required to be filed"
and ANY signature to a petition Sc.
cured prior to ninety days shall not
be counted"
Now the question is, can petition
be circulated $50 days before the prim-
airy election or 100 days? The law
should be more definite and state in
SO many words the number of DAYS
before the holding of primary election
petitions may be circulated and sign
ed.
1t would seem fair construction of
the law as it now stands that the pc
titicn may be circulated any time be-
tween 120 and $50 days prior to the
primary election and filed 80 days
from the time the petition is first
signed. Mnere thsre is a chance for
different construction, as in this case,
certainly the officers charged with du.
ties under the primary law will not
be technical. A fair and square deal
for all and honestly conducted eau
cuses and coaveI tons is demanded
thai the mature and actual sentiment
OF the vc.eTs may be arrived at.

The state board OF election COM
missioners have placed themselves
in an awkward position by turning
down the recommendations of the
regular Democratic organization in
several counties and selecting other
men for county commissioners.
The Anii-Saloon league threw
down the gauntlet that they were
unreservedly willing to accept
these recommendation as a fiat
rule, yet the state board chose to
disregard them in counties where
the fight on liquor is closest and
to appoint commissioners satisfac-
tory to the liquor interests. Of
course, it should make no differ
ence who are the commissioners if
they are only honest men who will
appoint honest judges and make
