Thos. Marshall
In Minot

Thomas F. MARSHALL, ex-congress-
man was in Minot yesterday trans
acting business. Mr.. Marshall made
the Independent a friendly call, and
naturally the talk drifted to politics
some. Mr.. Marshall said concern
ing his candidacy for the Senate:
i have not yet an formal announc e-
ment, but it is quite certain that Mr..
Gronna and myself will do what we
can for each other. MIR. Gronna stat
ed to me sometime ago that he was
willing that we should make the cam
paign along the same lines, and sue
coed or fail together. i do not believe
that we will fail. My friends declare
that they will stand with me in this
fight, and l do not believe that l have
lost any of them. The Progressive
movement is not only bound to sweep
the state of North Dakota, but all Of
the United States. The time has
come when the people will rise up and
declare themselves independent of one
or two men rule, and are no longer
satisfied to be controlled by the east
ern corporations.
Il believe that L would have won
fairly two years ago, but for the fact
that there was no official record kept
of the votes for United States Senator.
Think of it! Seventy-six thousand
votes for United States Senator and
no record kept of them. Do | believe
that the ballot boxes were stuffed?
Do I think that there were thousands
Of votes for me that were not counted?
Wait till this campaign is we'll on,and
you will hear some things that will
surprise YOU
"My business here today is purely
on matter Of business. How MinoE
is growing. | came thru here twenty
years ago as a surveyor in the employ
of the government, and hhelped sur
vey most of tnis country. | know
every foot of it.

We desire to call the attention of
buyers of office desks to an ADVERTISE
ment in our pages of today. The man
ager of the Herald Office supplies, in
this city, has this part of his business
down to fine poin. and is able to
give Gum government desk at a
cheaper price than it can be bought
for from any of the catalog houses of
the cities. We bought large office
desk from him over year ago, and
we are pleased to say we have never
had a moments trouble with it since
we have had it. One thing can be said
in favor of Capt. Scarlet, the Her.
AIDS Western manager, that he is at
all times ready and willing to make
wrong right, and that cannot
be said of the foreign sellers for you
have to take what you get and be
thankful.

Mrs. Spires bought ticket for Des
.Mooines, Iowa, Tuesday evening, but
owing to series of accidents, did not
take the rain, and in fact is in Minot
yet, where she is trying to get salts
faction. The woman states that she
bought and paid for ticket, and in
addition, paid for a sleeping car berth.
The day agent was to give. her The
latter when she checked her trunk,
but Mrs. Spires says he left before
the trunk was checked, and the night
man knew nothing about it. There
Is evidently a mistake somewhere, but
nevertheless Mrs. Spires was quite
put out, and has been leaving no stone
unturned to get what she believes to
be justice.

Politics are making

Politics are making new turns
nearly every day-these days-the lat
est turn being that local insurgents
are of the opinion tn Thomas r.
Marshall should retire as candi-
date for United States senator in the
next primary campaign in favor OF
ne candidacy OF Attorney -General
Miller. 1t is considered that Mar
shall's candidacy has been greatly
weakened since he failed to secure
the recent appointment. General Mil
ler's candidacy for the senate has
been already announced and his
friends are enthusiastic in his behalf.
