Boost for Williams


Kenn.are Journal: 1t is with de.
gree of satisfaction that we publish
on page two of this issue the declara-
ton of principles upon which Hon.
A E. Williams of Bismarck, bases his
candidacy for congress. Mr.. Williams
is deep thinker and hard worker,
man honest in his endeavors for
the betterment Of the people of North
Dakota His life work since early
manhood has been for the improve
ment and advancement of North Da-
kota. As member of the territorial
council, as a member Of the constitu-
tional convention, as member of the
state legislature and later as survey
or general his labors have been un-
ceasing for the betterment of North
Dakota. He has never been known as
gang man, nor as an insurgent, but
straightforward republican. He new
er has been known to be browbeaten
or caused to recede from a stand
which he had taken and believed to
be right. BY his resolution which was
Incorporated in the state constitution
our coal lands were saved from the
coal syndicates of the east. He tried
to incorporate a paragraph in the
state constitution forbidding the issu
ance Of passes to state officers, but
was turned down by the railroad in
terests. Mr.. Williams has champion
ed the cause Of the people for man,
years and stands ready to do SO agar
If given an opportunity. We believe
Mr.. Williams would make good rep
resentative in congress.

The States Great Wealth.

Pennsylvania now leads the
Union in the aal5unt 'of personaf
property owned within its borders
and returned as object to taxation to
the board of Revenue Commsission-
ers. In spite of the business depres-
sion it increased almost S92 2,000,0 900
over the aggregate of 1907, which
was the high water mark and the
total now reaches the gigantic
figure of 81, ,104, 513, 1854. No other
state comes near touching such fig
ure of property returned, New York
being fully 5000, 0,000,0 900 to the rear.
The announcement of, these figures,
which were submitted to the Board
of Revenue Commissioners by their
clerk, Christian w. Myers, caused
astonishment, and Auditor General
Young, in whose department the fig
ures were compiled and under whose
direction the statement was drawn
up, stated that it broke all records.
The gain of Sl,9l5, ,l31 so made
last year ran the total, but this year
the amount added in the returns
from the counties touched $91, ,97S,
745,5 figure which is considered
remarkable in view of the financial
depression which affected all kinds
of proDerty.

Byanitcs Get Set-Back.

A keen disappointment to the Bry-
antics, and especially to the Pennsyl-
vania Bryanites, was the publication
in the oficial organ of the United Mine
Workers of America, the Journal, of a
fac-simile letter from John Mitchell,
former president of the organization,
in which he advises miners to disre-
gard any statements made as to his at
titude toward any candidate. Attempts
had been made to create the impress
sion that he was for Bryan.
The intimate relations that have ex-
listed between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Mitchell made 1t quite unlikely
that he would be found working
against a cause In which Roosevelt is
30 much interested.

From reports received from the
most reliable sources, the great Amer

great American, William Howard Taft.
to preside over the destinies Of the
nation for the next four years, and
from the most trustworthy information
that can be cleaned from every county
and borough of this commonwealth.

heretofore, be the banner Republican
state in the Union.

on Tuesday next" declared Colonel
Wesley r. Andrews, chairman of the
Republican state committee.
From every section OF the state l
have today received reports by tele-
graph and telephone which leave no
room to doubt that there will be q
glorious victory recorded at the polls
once more.
"PennsylvaAia will be true to Repnb-

sneak in ne uncertain tones through
the ballot box.

great and small, would in his election
to the presidency receive a setback
from which they would not recover
for years. He has never exhibited evi-

vagaries and, to quote his own words,
he is even more radical than he was
in 1896 II this means anything 1t
means that he as an unsafe man to en-
trust with the commercial and busi-
ness interest of the United States.
II have no fear that the average
American voter is not alive to the sit
uation."
Chairman Andrews has been fairly
overwhelmed with applications for
speakers to address Republican rallies
throughout Pennsylvania. and he has
been particularly fortunate in being
able to procure some of the most prom.

coveted the supposed wealth, but on
looking back, after having reached
the old house on a summer night,
they saw an uncanny white object
moving slowly toward the house from
the shadowy place down the old
garden path. Passing around the
house they listened. The door was
heard TO creak and shortly after a
strange noise was heard coming from
the one large room. It was the rattle
of silver dropping on the hearth
stone and of someone counting. In
tently they listened to the counting
and the dropping, the dropping and
the counting Fearing to go TO the
front to look in, they went away.
Several times they visited the house
at night, always seeing the strange
white thing approaching from the
shadows and hearing the dropping of
coin on the stone. Then word was
passed that the place was haunted.
