Hon. B. F. Spalding has accepted
an invitation to deliver the Fourth
of July Grafton at Granville. While
other candidates of Office are at lib
erty to get out in speech-making
campaign, Judge Spaulding, who is
a candidate for associate justice of
the supreme court to succeed his ap-
pointive term, will have to restrict
himself to patriotic efforts and in
turn depend upon the patriotism of
friends for his future political pre-
ferment. By general consent and
very good reasons the judiciary of
the state is now out of politics, that
is, out of active, strenuous throes
of political strife. The members of
our supreme bench, as it Is now con-
stituted, seem to get along with a
degree of affinity and harmonious
action suitable to the dignity of that
body, and after the storm and blus-
ter of the jamestown convention
and the heated campaign of 1906,
the state is to be congratulated on
the fact that our supreme court, al
though changed and changing in its
personnel, still maintains it's record
as the peer of any similar judicial
body in the northwest. The import
ance of maintaining the integrity of
our judiciary is of the greatest mo-
ment for the great injustice through
legislative or political shortcomings
or selfish, venal and corrupt intrigue
can long endure or greatly Cypress
the people so long as our judiciary
is sound.

of land to the state, and the state
now has many lots and parcels of
land whose donation was obtained
through Alexander Mckenzie.
He has been active in the estab-
lishment of military posts, Indian
schools and public institutions, and
as a member of the national commit
tee of this state he has been one of
the influential Republicans, not only
of the state but of the nation.
He has stood unflinchlingly under
the most bitter attacks that prejudice
could circulate or malice conceive
and he has been loyal to his friends,
scorning to defend himself, when
hundreds of little echoes have been
barking at his heels.
He has personal friends and admir-
ers, not by the hundreds, but by the
thousands, and he has always been a
resident of North Dakota since the
| first settlement of this section as a
| territory. ..
He is large property owner in the
state. He has contributed to all
worthy enterprises. He has helped
hundreds and thousands of needy
persons and has put relief in the way
of as many, out of his private funds
and for the sake of old time assoc
iations.
BY the way, let us ask what has
Lum done for the great state o.

The prophesy is reported that if
Governor Johnson of Minnesota
should be nominated for the presi-
dency, he would carry the Dakotas
and Minnesota, heretofore deemed
solidly Republican. While we do not
admit any such possibility, it is GER
tainly undeniable that in every presi-
Dental campaign, following a period
of depression such as we have under
gone for the past few months, there
is doubt as to the issue of the cam
paign until the votes are counted and
strange things are sometimes done
in the name of suffrage. 1t seems
to us that particularly for this rea-
son there is necessity for such a pol
icy among the Republican leaders of
this state as will insure harmonious
action after the primaries are over.
The Tribune believes it to be the
duty of Republicans, particularly in
in year of presidential campaign,
to abide the decisions of the major
ity, to give and take, to conciliate
and seek to conciliate, and finally to
unite for the success of the party at
the polls. The Republicans of the
state have a serious duty to their
party in the national campaign as
we'll as the state. Leaders of the
party who refuse to make or to re-
ceive concessions, and who stand out
obstinately for rule or ruin policy
| will hardly earn the approval of good
Republicans.

People out in Hettinger county find

Looks like Editor Hudson of the
Havana Record would be elected reg
lister of deeds of Sargent county.
There are some newspapers around
the state that do not appear to be
much excited over the campaign.
e. S. Neal of Garrison is receiv-
ing considerable favorable newspaper
mention as a candidate for state SEN
ator from Mclean county.
The city water at Dickinson has
been analysed by Professor Ladd and
found to be of good quality much to
the delight of the people there.
Many city mayors have designated
Arbor Day as cleanup" day for
their respective cities. There are
many towns that need it all right.
Spouting so loud about the million
dollar campaign fund or the Republi-
cans of this state is apt to force Supt.
Stockwell in to lot of explaining
destinations and intimidations OF
that nature go all right till you are
caught at it.
The more F. E. Smith of Wahpeton
becomes known over the state the
stronger grows his support in his
candidacy for superintendent of pub.
lie instruction. Mr.. Smith is prob.
ably the best man in the state that
could be found as a candidate fol
that important position and he has
earnest supporters all over the state
in his behalf.

Each Of you realize that our
