Travellers Tales

Almost everybody about Fargo used
to know Elmer Bradford, who for
many a year was the polite individual
who stood near the head of the eat
ing department of Prizes cafe in this
city and directed things in general. He
was rattling good fellow and those
who patronized the place were 10th
to part with him when ne went to
Lisbon to engineer his own hotel which
he calls Hotel Bradford.
Elmer is a married man and there
are whole lot of little Bradfords to
bless the union and keep things lively
in the house and among them is a
little shaver who has more than once
caused his father and mother some
uneasiness on account of his general
hveliness.
One day this youngster returned in
drenching rain from a children's
party, to which he had gone with
reluctance, and he was wet to the
skin, but in very high spirits.
"Oh, son." said his mother, you'll
catch an awful cold, I'm afraid! 1
heard your father tell you to telephone
for cab if it rained hard-and you,
too, with your very best clothes on!
Why didn't you do as he told you to -
L did," the young man responded
quick as a fash, "and / sat on the box
with the driver, same as I've always
told you l wanted to do, and I had
such a good time. I'm almost glad /
went to the party"
Senator J. @. Gunderson OF Aneta,
who represents his district in the
state senate, was business and pleas
ure visitor to Fargo yesterday and met
number Of his friends who were glad
to see him. In talking to The Forum
he said:
Everything looks exceedingly bad
for the spring wheat, but the wheat
sown late is in fairly good shape and
If we get rain within the next ten
days we win have crop that will yield
at least ten bushels to the acre. and
that is a good deal better than none
at all, as some would have you believe.
Barley, oats and flax will bring forth
a fair crop, that is, of course, if the
rain comes very soon, but we are like
everywhere else we cannot stand ir
much longer without water. We will
have fair crop of hay, enough for all
we need down our way and this will
help some. Our town isn't doing much
In the way Of building this year. In
fact, we appear to be at sort of a
standstill, but we hope for better
things before long.
There Is renewed talk of the Mid
land Continental railroad building from
Edgeley to Winnipeg and a new set of
right Of way men have been in our
vicinity within the past few days, and
we are in great hopes that the road
will yet be built. It will be remem-
bered that year or two ago there
was survey made ana practically the
right of way was secured, but those
who visited us recently were a new
set OF men, but for the same COM
pany. One of them in talking to me
while he was here said he hadn't the
slightest hesitancy In saying that the
work would be begun this summer and
the grading done to Cooperstown be-
fore the cold weather would set in.
This Is exceedingly good news and
we all hope that 1t is true"

Bismarck Tribune: II the democrats
Fdid not get the required 30 per cent of
the votes cast by their party at the
last election for the office Of secretary
of state, and this seems probable, the
nominees of that party, or rather those
who would be the nominees, will prob
ably have to go on the ballot as ''in-
dependent" candidates, by petition.
There is a report that an attempt will
be made to knock out the 80 per cent
provision of the primary law, but. we
do not believe this will avail. The 80
per cent provision so far as we are
able to see, invades nobody's constitu-
tional rights. The constitution does
not concern itself with either the re-
publican party or the democratic party
Party organizations are the creatures
| OF partisans and their recognition by
the law is within certain prescribed
limits. The right of franchise is not
at all invaded by provision that a
party must cast certain per cent of
| its total vote the preceding election
| to be entitled to a place in party
column in a ballot OF course. there
will be great deal said and good
democrats not get the required 80 per
cent, about the muzzling of the demo-
cratic party, the shutting off of the
sacred right of franchise and all that,
but none OF this Illumination will stand
the test of cold analysis. All the demo-
Gratis had to do to get on the ballot
was to cast 80 per cent-less than a
third-of their total vote. If they did
not have enough interest in their party
Organization to do so, or. If so many of
them voted republican tickets that they
could not muster 80 per cent, then the
fault Is with the democrats, and with
nobody else. Certainly, the wicked re-
publicans are not responsible.
So far as The Tribune Is concerned,
| it hopes the democrats get the required
percentage of the total vote. But il
they did not, the fault Is not with any
body but the members of the demo-
cratic party

Wahpeton Globe Gazette: Although
he was i'll and unable to be in the state
although he could not take the stump
and defend himself against the attacks
or his political enemies and opponents,
and although pretty nearly everything
was said against him that could be
said to prejudice voters against him,
Senator McCumber is re-nominated at
the senatorial primary and will be re-
elected for the six-year term.
His majority was not large one;
but 1t must be remembered that his
candidacy was handicapped by his own
enforced absence from the state, by
the fact that tariff legislation with
which he was intimately concerned is
always unpopular in the first few
months after revision, and that he was
continually the target for the whole
battery of insurgent speakers and
newspapers. His election by a popu-
lar vote under all the circumstances Is
a splendid tribute to the good work
that has been done by Senator Nc
Cumber in the senate and to the good
work that was done by his friends in
the state in defending him against con-
tinual attacks.

MUCKERS TAKE CANAMEA INTO
 CAMP AFTER EXCITING CONTEST

And the Muckers won from Cana nea. Three to two was the score. and it tells the story of one of the great. est bail games ever played in Bisbee Sunday afternoon a great crowd turn. ed out to see our Muckers do the trick
 When the locals beat Douglas last week the Review stated that the Muck CTS had struck their gait. that it was a fast one, and that the boys would take the two ball games from the Can. a means. They only got one. but then rain prevented the first game.
 IL was great game from the Bis bee standpoint. The locals batted even with the Quien Sabes; outfielaed them and Guiteras was not in the class with Peebles on the twirling proposi- ton. And right here was where the game was won for Bisbee, for Peebles had the edge on the visitors all the way through and made monkeys of the heaviest hitters on the visitors team. In the eighth inning he struck out tree players, and only pitced ten balls to do it, and in the ninth he struck out the first two baatters up, had two strikes on the third, and then gently assisted him out at first. In all Peebles struck out nine of the Quien Sabes batsmen. did not walk a hitter and did not hit man. His ex- hibition of twirling was easily one of the greatest ever seen in Bisbee.
 Cananea got one hit in the second inning and punched four more in the fourth fer two earned runs, while Bis been got one in the third. one in the sixth. two in the seventh. which mixed in with Cananea blunders so nicely as to produce two runs and win the game and one hit in the eighth.
