The supreme court decision in the
primary election law is of general
interest as well through the country
as in this state, for there are a num-
her of states that have on their.
statute books laws similar to that of
North Dakota, providing for popu-
lar expression ON the senatorship.
The laws differ in some essentials,
but in the main the object is, the
same-to come as near as possible
toa popular election of United States
senators without doing that which.
might invalidate the election OF a
senator. through a violation Of the
federal constitution. In passing up
on the case brought before it, 1t is
interesting to note that the supreme
court of this state declines to go
into the federal feature of the law,
holding that the relator in the case
has no standing to complain of it
before the supreme court of this
state, since the senate of the United
States is after all the final judge
of the qualifications Of its members
and this, of course, includes the
right to the judge Of the legality
of their election in pursuance of the
federal laws. ~.ezle. j

AN OPEN LETTER.

In the last days Of the campaign
the Democrats of the state are put
ting forth the same manner of CAM
paign material they have made use
of so GEOGRAPHICALLY abuse%of the
Republican candidate for governor,
cries of 'tgang," and machine and
noisy protestations of virtue and self
laudation. From Minot, c. A. John
son, Republican candidate for COVER
nor, has issued the following letter
to the people OF, the state, which
deals. with about the only campaign
cry of the Democrats:
From the encouraging reports
have received from friends and
supporters in the various sec ,.
tons Of the state, T have every
reason to feel confident that I
will receive a majority of the
votes cast for the office of gov
ernor at the election to be held
next Tuesday.
BY this open letter to the
voters of North Dakota ! hereby 4
assure them that i will appre-
ciate their support at the polls,
and as owe my nomination to
the great common people of this
state under the primary, I deem
it only fair to state that I owe
no allegiance except to them, that
am absolutely untrammeled
and unpledged as to all pub
lie affairs or, appointments and
hereby pledge; my word that if
Il am honored by them by being
chosen governor of this great
state, will be governor in fact,
and act for the best interests of.
this commonwealth at all times
and under all circumstances.
