BURKE BOOST EXPLODED.

In fits Sunday edition The Fargo
News had an article headed "Oakes
Presbytery Endorses John Burkes
Candidacy" The following is one of
the statements made in the article:
1.-THE committee on temperance made
their report, and made some strong
recommendations. One Of the rec
concentrations was that we pledge
ourselves to vote for John Burke for
governor. The recommendations were
unanimously adopted"
AS near as can be gathered from a
communication from Ralph T. Fulton
Of Cakes, editor of the Presbyterian
paper, all of the statements made by
The News were true-exeept that
the temperance committee made no
such recommendations for adoption as
stated in The News and the presbytery
made no pledge to vote for Burke.
Mr.. Fulton, in further comments,
states:
"Our business Is to deal with relig-
ious and moral issues and not to take
any part in political campaigns unless
there is some moral issue very clear
ly at stake"

The campaign of; 1895 has scarcely
become sufficiently connected with an
Gent history to require chronology
In fact the campaign OF 1896 is still
discussed in connection with the cam
paign of 1908 because of the fact thai
many of the principal actors in one are
still the principal actors in the other
As Is well remembered the question
OF the free coinage Of silver was the
paramount issue, although the discon-
tent and hard times. which the repub-
licans attributed to the Wilson BILL
gave great force to the republican de-
mand for q true protective tariff. The
advocates of free coinage of silver were
sufficiently legion to bring the money
problem into first concern. All of the
populists had been carried away by
this idea four years before, and now
that the democratic party was to make
free silver the dominent issue, the pop
ulists Immediately joined forces and
supported the democratic candidate.
The first of the great national con-
ventions to assemble was that of the
republicans, which met at st. Louis
on June Is. Public sentiment had al
ready agreed upon William Mckinley
Of Ohio as the nominee for president
although Thomas B, Reed of Maine
had strong and influential following.
Mr.. Mckinley was nominated on the
first ballot receiving more than two
thirds OF the votes OF the convention,
while Garrett A. Hobart of New Jer-
sey was chosen for vice president. The
republican platform characterized
Clevelands administration as one OF
unparalleled incapacity, dishonor and
disaster. 1t eulogized protection and
reciprocity and opposed the free coin
age of silver, with a demand for the
preservation of the existing gold stan
dard. The adoption OF the plank fav-
oring gold standard was opposed by
many free silver republican delegates.
Being defeated by an overwhelming
vote of the convention, Senator Teller
of Colorado, the leader of the free sill
yer faction, followed by some thirty
free silver delegates formally withdrew
from the convention ana refused to
national convention met. at Chicago
July 7. 1t was plain from the mo-
ment the convention assembled that
free coinage of silver was to be the
rule of the. assembly. The convention
refused to endorse the administration
of Mr.; Cleveland, despite. the strenuous
efforts of his friends, and probably this
can be traced directly to the fact that
the convention was free silver in senti-
ment, while Mr.. Cleveland had strongly
opposed free silver throughout his
public career Public sentiment had
not been fixed upon any one man to
bear the party banner, and a spirited
contest was held for the nomination.

cAss COUNTY SHERIFF..

y fs H Il
The contest in Cass county over the
once OF sheriff i something like that
in the fight in the state for governor.
On the state ticket little is heard
outside the rivalry between Burke
and Johnson. The big noise In the
campaign in this county is between
Boyle, the republican nominee, and
Wilkinson, the democratic nominee, for
the Job OF chief thief taker,.
Mr.. Wilkinson was a candidate two
years ago and made good race. He
received so much encouragement that
he decided to encore and is again after
the job. He is a genial man, popular
and well known in Fargo where he has
been connected with different nachin-
cry concerns.
H. T. Boyle is the man the republi-
cans put up for the position. He is
a Cass county product, grew to man
hood here, lives on his farm in the
southwestern part of the county and
his only political work has been as
county commissioner, a position which
he has filed with great credit for four
years. Mr.. Boyle is enterprising and
popular and clean. He comes from
the district outside the city of Fargo,
which demands the office Of sheriff. He
Is regarded by the outside voters as
their particular representative in this
campaign. They want him in that of
flee instead of a Fargo man--and Far
go republicans are determined to as
sist them in the election OF Mr.. Boyle.

Richad P. Bland of Missouri, Governor
Pattison OF Pennsylvania and Governor
Boise OF Iowa were recognized as the
leading candidates at the time Of the
assembling of the convention. But in
the course Of the debate on the free
silver plank new leader was discov-
cred. This man was William Jen-
nings Bryan OF Nebraska, who champ
toned the cause Of silver on the floor Of
the convention In a brilliant speech
Of SURPRISING eloquence, which so
swept the convention on its feet that
he was nominated for the presidency
on the fifth ballot Arthur SewalI, a
wealthy ship builder OF Maine, was
nominated for vice president.
That portion Of the democratic party
opposed to free silver and in sympathy
with the Cleveland administration
withdrew from the support OF the
Bryan ticket and at a convention held
in indianapolis on Sept. 3 illuminated
Gen. John M. Palmer of Illinois for
president and Simon Buckner OF Ken
lucky for vice president on p gold
standard platform which endorsed the
Cleveland administration.
The populists met in St, Louis and
logically nominated Mr. Bryan for
president, with Thomas e. Watson of
Georgia for vice president. Mr.. Bryan
received still third nomination from
the national silver party, which met
In st. Louis at the same time.
The campaign which followed was
remarkable for the general discussion
OF financial and economic questions,
and for the unusual popular interest
aroused. Mr.. Bryan Travelled up and
down the country for months, speaking
TO vast throngs Of people who were
eager to hear this young tribune Of the
people. Mr.. Mckinley, on the other
hand, remained quietly at his home in
Canton, Ohio, and from his doorsteps
welcomed over 100000 visitors and de-
livered over 500 speeches to visiting
delegations. The currency question
was almost the only question discussed
by the campaign orators.
As election day drew near the popu-
lar interest and excitement reached an
unprecedented pitch. Not since the
Civil war had the country been so
stirred by a presidential election. Bus
mess was to large degree suspended
in expectation of the result. The re-
publicans carried by unprecedented
majorities every state north Of the Po-
tomac and Ohio rivers and east Of the
Mississippi For the first time since
the days Aof reconstruction the solid
south" was broken, for the republicans
carried Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia and even Kentucky. McKinley's
electoral vote was 271, while Bryan re-
eeived 176. The popular vote, how
ever, was much closer, McKinley's
plurality over Bryan being only about
32S6,00.

HERALD is MIXED.

The Grand Forks Herald appears to
be of the opinion that legislators
having once taken the pledge-are
bound by it-even If the law is uncon-
stitutional. If a man is entrapped In
fraudulent act and this is afterwards
shown-is he bound? If the supreme
court declares the senatorial phases of
the primary law unconstitutional-an
no vote is made under it's provisions
no candidate selected by the people
for whom will the Legislators L. vote

then have the majority of the voter
in the states. ! predict the electioa
of Johnson by at least $1,000 votes"
Grand Forks Times: The state
democratic committee, in communi-
cation to The Times, says the story
that Governor Burke was negligent lin
enforcing the laws when city attorney
of Devils Lake Is untrue and unfair,
and then 1t assigns as the grounds
for this that the city attorney is not
required to prosecute iolations of the
prohibition laws, quoting from the
statute to prove its point. TO quote
the communication: Under the law
1t Is not the duty of the city attorney
to prosecute violations OF the prohi-
.bition law" That is lodging the
question just as Governor Burke is
now lodging the stateme It's he made
on the hastings two years ago. He
then proclaimed that he would enforce
the prohibition law. and now says he
could not do SO because he does not
have the authority,
The communication admits substan-
TALLY the facts set forth in the dis
patch to which 1t Is intended to be
an answer. 1t says: IF there were
violations Of the law ais charged In the
Minot dispatch, the fact that they
were not prosecuted was due to the
negligence OF the states attorney and
sheriff, both republicans. They were
defeated for reelection by democrats
BY large majorities In county largely
republican, the issues Of the campaign
being made upon their failure to en-
force the laws. This quotation ought
to be suficient to prove the facts in
the dispatch complained Of
These facts being substantially
without dispute, the voters are at ib-
erty to draw their own conclusions as
to whether or not Governor Burke is
reformer at heart. and whether MS
pretensions Of reform are found up-
on his principles or his political ex-
pediency.

HORSES FOR MARKET.

With the introduction of the auto
mobile into general use, it was the
consensus of opinion among stock
raisers that the day Of the horse had
passed. Many farmers gave up breed
ing horses altogether, believing that
there would be no more money iii 1t.
They have now found out their mis-
t&ke. Good horses are in greater de-
mand in the United States today than
they have ever been, and the prices
are high. But the breeders complain
that, for reasons unknown to them,
they cannot get the prices quoted in
the stock reports when they take their
animals to market. The Illinois ex-
pertinent station of the department of
agriculture has made an investigation
OF the Chicago and st. Louis markets,
and reports that the reason why the
grangers a cannot command market
prices for their stock is that they do
not understand the market class of
horses. To form an intelligent und-
erstanding Of the value of his animals,
breeder should know the require
ments OF his market, as we'll as the
grades and classihcations of horses
made there, says The Washington
Post. t&& "
The principle factors that determine
the market value of horses are sound
ness. conformation, quality, condition,
action, age, color, and tractability.
Market horses are classed into drafts,
CHUNKS, wagon horses. carriage horses,
Eoad horses and saddle horses. The
drafts must be broad, massive, rugged
iy built. with great strength and
weight. They should stand from 1913
to liz hands high. and weigh from
1890 pounds up. Chunks are short
legged, thick barreled, beamy animals.
weighing up to 1900 pounds, and about
Is hands high,
Wagon horses are those used for
general business purposes, for artil-
lery service, and in fire departments
Taey must have speed, with great
strength. clean limbs, and a strong
quality of bone; they must be. close
coupled, have broad, deep chest, and
good action They should stand from
Is to 17.2 hands high, and weigh from
1850 for artillery horses up to LOO
pounds for fire horses.
/ Carriage horses, in the market class
/ ification, are full-made, round bodied
animals of high quality, fair speed,
and great deal of action. They must
have the long, Well-arched neck; the
small. neat head: level Group, and
short, well-muscled back so greatly
priced in the cobs and coach horses.
/ They ought to range in height from
14.1 to 16.1 hands, and weigh not more
than I.25o pounds. Road horses are
distinguished from carriage horses by
more litheness in build and greater
angularity In form.
Horses that are salable for use UNI
der the saddle must have sureness of
foot, ease Of carriage, and gentle man
ners. In order to be sure OF foot, they
must possess high Withers, short
strong back, and a properly set pos
tern, with an abundance Of energy.
Grouped in this class are Aye gated
and three gated saddlers. hunters
cavalry mounts and polo ponies
4 Virginia and Maryland are both
states with reputation for fine horses
Of pure blood, but the breed OF horse
has but little influence upon his mar
ket value nowadays What farmer.

DEVELOPING SPEED,

The speed lust still remains unsatis-
fed. On his private track young
New Jersey millionaire has developed
a speed of 40 miles an hour in his
14o-horsepower automobile, and his
ambition now is to, increase his record
to lao miles. The wheel base of this
marvel among. racing cars is lis
inches, the front wheels are SO by4 in
ches, and the rear ones 36 by Az in
ehes. ,-+ 3;
The young man may achieve his am
bition. What is there to prevent it ?
Mechanical limitations probably have
not yet been reached. If he can de :
velop 1870 miles with q 140-H. P. auto
mobile, why may he not drive at the
rate Of 200 miles with a 2SO-horse-
power machine? And if this be rue,
there seems no cause for doubling that
with a great motor car Of !, 900. horse
power he might be able to make 900
miles an hour.
Where, then, is the goal Of the speed
maniac? and when it is reached what
Of it? VIII it serve any good pur-
pose? There is neither now nor win
there probably be in the business OF
the future any occasion for man to
travel so fast, says an exchange. The
craze for speed seems to be outstrip-
ping all necessity and common sense.
On public highways, even Of the finest
construction, an automobile going at
the rate of 100 miles an hour carries
a threat of death with every rod it
speeds. The slightest pebble in the
road, a stick fallen in the way, a rut
worn by the rains-any of these and
a score of others may suffice to throw
it out of its track and bring death to
some one. 49,, ....
Speed mania, useless and senseless,
ought to be punished by law. 1t has
already claimed it's hundreds of vic
Tins. The New Jersey enthusiast will
be lucky man if he does not add his
name to the list before lie adds many
more miles to his record. Hf
