NORTH DAKOTA NOTES

NORTH DAKOTA NOTES
Editor McCann's paper, the Bow
man County News, is booster for
Bryan.
Commissioner Laid still contends
that the bleached -four is injurious
and handicaps digestion.
A pleasure launch on the Jim river
is doing a great business on the one
hour schedule for % cents.
1t is understood that Grand Forks
is making a quiet spell to Guido the
Fargo state fair this year.
The smallpox epidemic seems to
be quite general but it is not the kind
that moves very many hence.
1t dosen't take much of an excuse
for Grand Forks to take fall out
of Fargo, around state fair time.
It looks as if Handbook was look
ing around home for material out
of which to mix little political
buncomb.,
Editor J. Paul Gross, of North
Lennon, serves notice that he will
not stand for dog fights and will pull
the law if necessary. g..
The railroads are getting ready for
livestock shipments from western
North Dakota and expect large ship
ments early next month. ...s..
The State-Line Herald and the
Williston State, are still running po-
litical chromos, just as though the
primaries had not been held.
/ Some farmers may have reason to
kick on the yield but it looks as IL
none will have cause to complain
of the price of wheat this year.
DR.. Adolph Cluss, the Austrian ag-
riculturist, ought to have been in
Fargo fair week. It would probably
have been moist enough for him.
Out of respect to George Wood
bury, the old timer who died Mon
day. the county Offices were closed
during the afternoon Of the funeral,
Thursday.
The Williston race track and grand
stand are about completed and the
Williston people are getting things
In shape for the race meeting to be
held August 12, IS and ID.
The safe, books and other Office
fixtures Of the Driscoll State bank,
have arrived and have been moved
to the new building. The bank will
be ready for business in a few days.
The Wahpeton Times, having taken
some stock in the election of Dem
ocratic governor in North Dakota
this year, the Forum thinks Editor
Knots will pinch himself some time
and-wake up.
dad" Clinch, the printer, who
holds the record in this state for age,
being 10 years old-has now accept
ed at sit on the Cheyenne Star. Dad
expects to die at the case but not
very soon.
The steamer o. K. on the Missouri
river, which Capt. Bruce Griggs, OF
Grand Forks commanded one season,
was burned to the waters edge at

nearer to the popular choice and that
its provisions will do away with the
practice of packing caucuses and con-
ventions. The writer does not be-
lieve it to be good law, either with
respect to its being in accord with
the spirit of our institutions or its
practicability. The experience just
ended proves conclusively that it
does not do away with the old eau
Gus and convention system, for not
only did both factions Of the Repub-
lican party by convention or other
wise manage. to secure lineup Of
candidates to be supported by the
adherents of one or the other fac
tions of the party, respectively, but
the Democrats, through committee
selected from the members of the
state central committee also placed
a ticket before the primaries for the
united support Of the members of
that party. It is no argument against
this condition to point out that under
the primary system there is a free
field, for a man or. set Of men that
is supported by any sort of concert
organization has decided advantage
over the one that is depending only
on his individual effort. Under the
state wide primary, as stated, and as
the result has shown, there is moth
ing to prevent few members Of any
political party in getting together
and selecting a list of candidates
and securing such support for them
as to place them at a decided advan-
tage over the individual candidate.
1t would only be reasonable to ex
pect that such self appointed author
ity would select only such candidates
as they could be able to make the
best use of in the event of success,
and the rank and file not having par
ticipated in the choice there would
be no party responsibility in the
event of an unWise choice being
made. The Grand Forks Herald con-
tends for the constitutionality of the
law, in that the state has a right to
prescribe the manner in which Sc
lections shall be made Of candidates
who are to go on the ticket. The
Headlight contends that the state has
no right in the spirit of American
liberty to prepare the ticket. This
writer will even contend that it is
the right of every American to vote
for whom he pleases and that there
shall be no handicap placed by the
state against the success of his
choice. And this is done both by
the provisions Of the Australian bal
lot system and the North Dakota
primary election law. There never
was a time in the history Of this state
or any other state, when If as large
a percentage Of the votes Of the state
were represented at the caucus under
that system as were cast at the re.
cent primary election OF this state
a more representative result would
be arrived at. fla few years exper-
fence with the primary election priH-
ciple shall result in awakening in the
people a sense Of their responsibility
in the selection Of candidates, and
then the law shall be repealed, It will
not have been enacted in vain, but
will have served truly valuable
purpose. Its provisions and enact
ment are a striking exhibition of the
genius Of the American politician
and the strong tendency Of the PEG
pie to go in search Of an abstruce
remedy when the simple one is more
apparent. $s

KIDNAPPED TILL OF AGE
TO SIGN A LEASE

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 21.--A weeks
chase over northern Oklahoma, in
which a kidnapped Delaware Indian boy
was the principal figure and whose
valuable oil allotment was the prize
for which men representing millions
fought. ended when Fl. T.. Sinclair, a
wealthy oil man of Independence, Kan,
representing Pittsburg capitalists,
reached Enid on a special train n
effected d compromise with c. j..
Wright, a millionaire promoter of
Tulsa, and j. A. Tillotson, Of Nowata,
a prominent oil investor and member
of the lower house of the Oklahoma
Legislature. The contestants divided
the Indians allotment, for which they
paid $50, 900.
The exciting fight hinged on the
birthday of Frank Turner, the Della
ware, who today became Of age. He
could not sign away his lease until he.
reached the legal age. Last Friday Til
lotson brought the boy to Guthrie. Sim
clair's agents followed and they raced,
to Oklahoma City. Sinclair's detective
in that city was notified and he fol-
lowed the party in IN automobile.
Unable to elude the persistent pur-
suer. Tillotson's men had the detective
arrested on a false complaint, and
while the latter was taken to the po-
lice station they escaped. Sinclair
chartered the special and hurried TO
Enid to find that Wright's mar had al
ready secured the boys signature
The compromise followed.
