HE DIED POOR.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye


We want to hear less of the man who
began poor and amassed wealth and more
of the man who lived unsullied and died
poor.-A Modern Writer.
The words are fifty spoken.
Therefore this brief sketch Of man
who lived upright and died poor.
He was just an average man of clean
life, fair abilities, industrious and hon.
est. He worked hard, was economical
and seldom complained. He did not
want to get rich quick. He only ask
ed a living worthily earned, a roof
tree and a bit of garden, bread and
butter for wife and babies. an occa-
sional holiday and few luxuries.
This man was not close listed. He
had generous impulses. Out of his
modest earnings he gave to his church
and to help his fellows. He wore a
smiling face. He was good neigh
Dor He paid his debts. He loved his
wife and children. He spent his even
ings at home He envied no man.
In all his life this man never earned
more than $1,000 in single year. But
he saved enough to buy little home.
He kept his boy and girl in the high
school until they were graduated. And,
besides. there were few dollars in the
bank for rainy day.
This man laughed often and loved
much. His joys and sorrows were the
joys and sorrows of the common lot.
Men said of him, living, Hes all
right" When he died they said. HE
was fine man and a good citizen"
That's all.
Excepting this: The life Of this man.
whose short and simple annals we
have told. is typical life. 1t Is the
life of the average good citizen.
And 1t Is easy to see why we do not
hear very much about him.
The newspapers and magazines are
full Of success stories" concerning
rich men because these men are the
exception and not the rule. There Is
no story material in the career of the
common man who lives a decent life
and dies poor.
Nevertheless
Such men are the salt of the earth!
That kind of success which has been
made by the use of ignoble means Is
nothing more than successful failure.
You could have no better epitapb
upon your tombstone than this:

a guide to the members of the legis-
lature by whom the office of senator is
filled in January.
Being the leading candidate, Mr.
Little has naturally been the one
against whom the others have COM
bined with resort to methods that
have not been calculated to promote
harmony in the party.
Two Of these presented their names
to the so-called convention held at
Grand Forks for the nomination in de-
fiance Of the primary law.
The third is the present o. 8. sena-
tor, who seeks reelection in the face
OF an apparent sentiment for hts re-
tireMent-
In spite Of personal antagonism to-
ward each other, all three entered into
combinations for the contrd Of the
Minot convention for the purpose OF
making it appear that the majority
OF delegates, who were recognized as
representative Of sentiment In the diff
ferent counties, were not favorable to
Mr.. Little's candidacy.
That they failed is strong proof OF
Mr.. Titles strength in the esteem
of the leading members Of the party
who came to the convention through
election at county conventions, com
posed of delegates that had been cho-
sen at caucuses. These delegates were
therefore made truly representative
OF party sentiment in their respect
i've counties, and their declaration for
Mr.. Little can be taken as voicfns
popular opinion in the most reliable
! form.
To review Mr.. Little's public record
at length here would require more
space than is afforded. These points
stand out with especial prominence In
reference to his candidacy.
His election as U. S. senator will dc
more to unite all elements OF the
republican party and to eliminate sec
tional feeling than that of any other
candidate.
His election will do away with the
friction in the North Dakota delega
| tion to congress.

will be more satisfactorily adjusted
than ever before.
Since the very organization OF the

EDWARD n. WRIGHT.

The candidacy OF Edward III. Wright

and success at the bar, among those
at the head of the legal profession in
this state.
Mr. Wright resided and practiced
his profession for many years at Val.
ley City, and during the latter years
OF his residence there his services
were in continuous demand, not only
in his own county of Barnes, but at
nearly every term OF court in a major

serve its interests than he, and in
so doing he has been willing to join
others without seeking prominence for

man. he has applied to his official
work the same good judgment and in

for re right legislation of corporate

bring them properly within govern

revision OF our financial scheme, with
due regard to the interest of farmers
and laborers and the small bankers.
His declaration in favor of the fetisr-
al grain inspection law terse and to

ing element, for the upbuilding OF the
navy, for the improvement of inland
waterways and for the promotion OF
irrigation and drainage is favored by
him, and his platform rings true all
along the line.

confidence of those who have been
brought into contact with him during
his residence there since 1887, engag-

FOR CONGRESS, GRoNNA AND
HANNA.

While seeking to strengthen repre-
sentation at Washington and to bring
about better cooperation between rep
resentadves in the upper and lower
branches of congress, North Dakota
republicans should be again reminded
of the Importance Of the election Of
congressman who will stand by the
principles OF Theodore Roosevelt,
which were so heartily endorsed by
the state convention at Minot. No bet
ter selection could be made than the
return OF Congressman A. j. Gronna,
who has served one term with great
credit to himself and satisfaction to
his constituents He has been one of
the staunch Friends OF the administra-
ton and has been conscientious in his
devotion to his duties. The state has

Mr.. Little was born at Pembroke
New Hampshire, in November, 1857.
His early life was spent on farm He
graduated from Dartmouth college
studied law at Harvard and began
practice upon arriving at Bismarck in
1882. He was elected judge OF probate
of Burleigh county in 1884, and re-
elected in 1886. He served three years
as inspector general of the Dakota
militia and ranked as colonel. On the
admission of North Dakota as a state
he was elected senator, and has held
that office continuously since, being
chairman OF the judiciary committee
all the time. He was president pro
tempore of the senate during the ses
sion of 1861 He served on the re-
publican central committee for years
and was chairman of the state con-
vention in 1898.
OF the four senatorial candidates,
he has been called upon oftener than
any other to go on record on questions
of conflicting interest and of direct i'm
portance to the people of the state.
Thus by education, natural ability,
business and political training, he has
shown that he possesses the qualifica-
tions necessary to cope with public at
fairs along broader lines and can
splendidly represent the varied inter
ests of this state at Washington.
Mr.. Little's success in business life
stamps him as man of ability and
character. He is president OF the
First National Bank at Bismarck, OF
the State Bank at Braddock, and an.
other at Wilton, besides being con
nected with other business enterprises
in the city and county in which he
lives
