Comments ON
new CANDIDATE

jamestown, Dec. 22.-The Alert has
the following comment upon the CUB
ernatorial candidacy of J. A. Bu-
chanan of Stutsman county: The
Stutsman county friends of J. A.
Buchanan will be pleased to learn
that he has consented to become a
candidate for the nomination for
governor at the primary election on
the republican ticket. Mr.. Buchan-
an is a resident of many years
standing in this county, where he has
been engaged in farming on a large
scale, until very recently, and where
he is still interested in active busi-
ness pursuits, although having dis
posed of most of his large land in
terestS.
years of residence in the county, has
devoted his time and abilities ex-
clusively to his farming business in
terests. Although often urged by
his friends to enter the political field
he has declined to do so, until re-
cent events have made it possible for
him to consider such suggestions
more favorably.
To his efforts have been largely
due an increased attention to i'm
proved farm methods and the devel-
opment of large tract of farm
land in this county, which was
brought to the highest state of cul-
tivatlon under his personal manage
ment. He has also been largely in
strumental in promoting the growth
of the town of Buchanan, which is
now one of the prosperous and model
village communities and business
points of the state, and which is fit
tingly described by it's sponsor as
"a town without shack, loafer or
rowdy, is shaded by thousands of
trees, has beautiful homes, splendid
schools, a handsome church, and
people who live up to their surround
ings. The Belle of the state.",s
Mr.. Buchanan has a large ac-
quaintance throughout the state. He
is man of integrity, good executive
ability and republican in politics.
He believes that the best conduct of
both state and national affairs can be
best secured through the great pol
itical organization which has guided
the public affairs of the nation and
the state for SO many successful de
cades. ~. -. sts ..s

issued by municipal Judge Grove on
advice from the Office of States At

Charles Chapman denies that he is
the father of Claude and alleges that
his brother, William Chapman,

to the young man which led to the
arrest. The woman says the first
time she saw Claude he was 1S
months old. According to her story
she was married to a man of the
name of Stafford. One son, Arthur,

OIL EXPORTS DROP FROM ONE

iBy Associated Press.)


Washington, D. c., Dec. 22.-Alar1n-
ed by a drop from one million dol
lars to $26,363 in mineral oil exports
to France in a month, American ex
porters have begun movement to IN
duce congress to renew with the
French government the reciprocity
which expired on October 81 last. Elk.
porters also hope for the renewal OF
the treaty with Spain, also large
importer of American oil, which Will
expire on August 81, 1910.
The exports to Canada under the
new tariff law, have mt been compil ed
yet by the bureau of statistics OF the
department of commerce and labor
but indications are that they will
show relatively as great a failing on
in oil exports as those OF France.
Notwithstanding the abrogation of
the reciprocity treaty with France.
the reports of the bureau for Novem-
ber, the first month under the new
order of things, show larger totals
in both imports and exports than IN
the corresponding month Of last year.
Raw cotton, which is imported in
to France free Of duty, and hence
is not affected by tariff changes, is
largely responsible for the increase
in exports while art works twenty
years old and over, admitted free un'
der the new law; diamons and hides
were responsible for the increased
imports. The 6alling off of imports

the increased tariff, was most mark

Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 22.-
Ex-president Zelaya today issued a
manifesto declaring that his surren-
der Of the presidency was caused by
a desire to save Nicaragua the; hu-
initiation of outrages threatened by
powerful foreign nation, which
was now inaugurating a decisive in
fluence over the destiny of Nicara-
qua. Because of his resistance
against the imposition of tutelage,
which was the fore-runner Of the
conversion Of the latin-nations of this
continent into dependencies OF the
United States, he had incurred the
hatred of that government and when
the defeat of the revolutionists ap-
peared certain the United States gov
ernment severed relations with Nicar-
aqua through Secretary Knox's let
ter to the charge d'affaires. He pro-
tested before the world against the
meddling of the United States and
the threat to land marines.
The former president declares that
the Americans, Cannon and Groce,
were executed according to law.
This pretext for Intervention, he as
serts, is similar to that employed
when the United States first inter-
vened in Cuba, for there was no
proof that the Maine was blown up
BY Spaniards; yet this was taken as
a cause for action. Nor is there any
proof that Cannon and Groce were
put to death iunlawfully. There are
persistent rumors here that force
of Hondurans, now refugees in Guat-
emala, are preparing for revolution
and propose to invade Honduras at
Ocotepeque.
