That there was a great deal of
trading done there can be no
doubt. johnson will be opposed
by Governor Burke. who asks the
people to re-elect him on his re-
cord.
While the fight for governorship
must be consigned to a secondary
place, it is none the less interesting
johnson has an advantage and a
disadvantage. His name is mag
netic in a Scandinavian state, but
he has divided party be hind
him He is comparatively a
young man and not we'll known.
Burke on the other hand, has
given satisfaction, but is handi-
capped by being a Democrat.
Only Democratic support could
never elect him. The fact that
this is a presidential year is a
handicap. However, the fight
waged by Council 81. Bendike
against Lewis, the present lieu
tenant governor, which also helps
Burke. Burke has an advantage
over johnson in being one of the
best campaigners the state has
ever had.
These conditions, in midsummer,
makes the fight for the. governor
ship exceedingly interesting. As
the campaign progresses changes
will no doubt take place, but it is
interesting to See the nominees,
of the different parties, sparrlng
for places and getting in trim for
the grand final.

Interest is IN Senatorial Fight.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., July

GRAND FORKS, N. D., July
12.-(Special. )-Hardly have the
rumbling which the primaries
precipitated ceased, when the
signal for the fall battle has COM
menced. The fight for the
governorship, which has heretofore
been the principal contest, is
superseded by the senaorial fight.
This is the first time the people of
the state have had an opportunity
to register their choice for senator.
LAW UNSATISFACTORY.
From every part of the state
comes protests against the present
primary law. The law will, in the
coming legislature be amended or
repealed. Many of the Republi-
cans claim it is too expensive while
the Democrats claim that the 30
per cent is unconstitutional. This
will be decided before long, as a
number Of Democrats failed to
secure the 30 per cent necessary
for nomination. However, it can
safely be said that the people Of
the state, as whole, want some
kind Of a primary law, and they
will accept anything before they
will go back to the boss-ridden
convention form of nominating.
Thomas Marshall, congressman,
and NJ. N. johnson, ex-congress-
man, won in the primaries, and
will be placed before the people
this fall on the Republican ballot,
while W. 3. Purcell and ]. Z. Ca
shell both state senators, will be
placed on the Democratic ballot.
Marshall and johnson defeated
Hansborogh and Little, and the
speculation is where will the sup
port Of these gentlemen go.

Colonel Bill Sapp of Galena said
today:
THE Democratic nominee for COVER

Within few days petitions for Atwood

the primary election ballot in spite of

all there is to it,
IF we get Atwood on the primary
ballot, he will be nominated over any
body else who may become a candidate.
None of the men who are running at
present Can beat him.
who is going to circulate Atwood's
petitions? why, the Democrats of

NO GOOD SAYS JACKSON
Attorney Generals Comment on Har-

All this testimony which has been
taken by the International Harvester
company to prove that it has in
creased or not increased prices of ma
chinery is irrelevant and immaterial,
and the state will make a motion to
have it stricken from the record"
Attorney General Jackson made
this statement this morning concern
ing the work which was done by the
attorneys at Chicago last week in TAX
ing testimony of the International
Harvester company officials in the
custer suit started by General Jack
son against the company.
what difference does it make in
this case" said Mr.. jackson, "wheth-
er the trust lowered it's rates? 1t may
have done this for the express pur-
pose of driving out competition. As
a matter of fact, it was shown that
prices of machinery have been in
creased during the past year.
Il regard a great deal of this testi-
mony which has been taken by the
defense as entirely useless, so far as
the issues of the case are concerned.
with the taking of testimony at
Chicago, it might be said that the first
round of the battle was ended. The
state and defense has each presented
it's testimony in chief. Now the state
has chance to present rebuttal tes-

will present any or not. II we do it

Capture Brooklyn Handicap.

New York, June 1.--Ten horses car
rying the colors of the most famous
American racing stables will contend
today at Gravesend track for one OF
the richest prizes of the American
turf, the $4,000 purse of the Brook
lyn handicap. With every prospect of
a fair day and a fast track a great
contest is looked for. Again the blue
and white of the. stable of James r.

son of Commando. appears to be the
favorite for the race in the eyes or the
public The three-year-old has met
defeat once in his racing career and
that was behind the flying heels of his
stable mate. the unbeatable Colin. Al
ways a favorite with the public, Celt's
defeat of the great Jack Atk.n at Bel
mont park easily puts him in the lead
in public favor for the Brooklyn.
Celt's chief opponent for the favor of
the public today is McCarter. The
wise men Of the paddock profess TO see
only these two horses In the race,
holding that if any of the other en-
trants come anywhere near winning it
will be. only by accident.
