, POLITICAL COMMENT
Little,s Chances.


Fargo Forum: The results of the
state Republican convention has
greatly encouraged the supporters of
Colonel Little of Bismarck, the lead
ing candidate for the United States
senate. Colonel Little has the prac-
tically unanimous Endorsement of
the faction of the Republican party
which won out at Minot.
His friends believe the colonel is
in better position today than any
of the other senatorial candidates.
At Minot the Stalwarts had about
two-thirds of the delegates. 1t is
fair to assume this is indicative of
the sentiment over the state. If this
is true, the other third of the votes
for he Insurgents will be divided
between Johnson and Marshall. Most
people are convinced that Johnson
is far ahead of Marshall
On the other hand-if the Stall
warts have two-thirds of the votes
at the primaries-there is a chance
for Colonel Little to be high man
and possibility of his getting the
coveted 40 per cent of the vote. At
Minot Senator Hansbrough's friends
were disappointed at the showing he
made there. 1t was expected he
would have formidable following.
1t is conceded that he will get lot
of Stalwart votes-but the indications
are that he will be far behind Colo
mel Little as favorite with that
faction.
At present it looks like Little and
Johnson were high men of their re-
spective factions and in the race
Colonel Titles chances are far
brighter than the others-with John
son and Hansbrough somewhat near
each other-and Marshall hopeless
| ly in the ruck.

Use Of Oatmeal and Lemons Effect
Of Tight Sleeves and Rings.
II the skin is naturally white very
little care Is required to preserve It.
A good soap. aided by pinch or two
of oatmeal, may be used for a thor
ough cleansing of the hands twice q
day, and IL needful to still further
cleanse them warm water-not hot,
will do the necessary work.
Once a week they should be rubbed
all over with slice Of lemon. II
these exquisitely white hands are in
clined to chap, camphor ice may be
applied at night and white gloves
worn to increase the softening effect.
Holes should always be cut in the
palms of the gloves to allow ventila-
tion. For distressingly red hands
equal parts of glyoerine, lemon Juice
and rosewater may be applied nightly
under gloves. Daily applications Of
lemon Juice are sure to produce q
whitening effect.
Tight sleeves and tight finger rings
are frequent source Of red hands,
and the only remedy for this is to re-
move the irritating cause.

that it had passed me, and sat on

debris, and when 1t struck the Bosque

The Attack Refuted.

Jamestown Alert: While Senator
Little seems to be able to success
fully refute the attack upon his legis-
lative record it might be suggested
that there are other legislative rec
ords of candidates for Office that can
not SO successfully stand the test Of
investigation. 1t is. very likely that
the adage, people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" will
be very forcibly verified during the
campaign.

No Mistake to Indorse Little.

Minot Optic: One of the sidelights
of the Republican state convention is
the popularity of Senator G. B. Lit
tie, candidate for United States SEN
ator, among the Republicans who
have gathered to attend the conven-
tion. Senator Little has developed
phenomenal strength and he is with
out doubt the strongest man in the
field. The long record of successful
achievement in the state senate, his
experience in legislative matters, his
sound, conservative record as a bust
ness man and pioneer of western
North Dakota, are appealing strong
~ to the people of the state. Sena-
tor Little is man of whom the peo-
pie can bank to do what is right at
all times. His word is as good as
his bond. He has the intelligence
to differentiate what is for the well
fare OF the people and what is not;
he has the determination and abil-
ity to carry his ideas into effect. The
people of North Dakota can make no
mistake in indorsing Senator Little
for the United States senate.

Alex Mckenzie.

Fargo Forum: Some months ago
Alex Mckenzie announced in sign
ed statement that he was not can
didate for reelection as national COM
mitteeman and wanted some other
man to have that honor. He wanted
to retire from the position peaceful
ly and quietly-in the best interests
of the Republican organization of
North Dakota, in the building up of
which he had been such an import
ant factor.
The Insurgent leaders thought they
had Alex on the run. Not willing
to take him at his word-they began
a fight on him-making him the is
sue of the campaign up to the time
of the state convention.
While Mr.. Mckenzie had announc-
ed he would not be candidate for
committeeman-he did not mean
that he was out of politics as pri-
vate citizen. He hoped his with
drawal from the position would pro-
mote harmony-but when it was
made clear that a few Insurgent
leaders in their arrogance, were de-
termined to make him a scapegoat
Mckenzie was forced to fight back
He would have been coward to
have done less. When Mckenzie
fights he does neat job of it. This
was amply demonstrated during the
campaign-when he won out against
the combined Johnson-Marshall-
Hansbrough opposition.
Now that the convention is over
Mckenzie once more wants to drop
out Of the limelight in North Dakota
polftics-and will, if not forced to
fight for a vindication. The action
of the little coterie Of Insurgent
leaders is responsible for the pres
ent condition and they should now
have enough common sense to take
Mckenzie at his word. Mckenzie is
not infallible-but he is political,
physical and moral giant-as COM
pared to the clique of office seeking
soreheads who have endeavored to
drive him from the party.
