In connection with the report of
the Grand Forks Herald alludes to
the conditions prevailing in various
state departments as though some
exceeding serious irregularities had
been found by the special committee.
The fact is that the report Of the
sommirtee does not disclose such SER
fous discrepancies or Irregularities as
might be supposed from the length
u the report or some of the COM
merits of the special committee. 1t
is doubtless true that any commit
aee could present matters that, un-
explained, might appear as though
officials had been exceedingly lax and
dfsobedient of the law. For, exam
pie, in connection with the insur-
xnce department, considerable stress
is laid on the fact that insurance
teal friends for publication. This
statement is in all probability true.
We apprehend the same condition
would prevail if the head of tae in
suranee department were an "insur-
gent" or a Democrat. What is COM
monty known as patronage in poll
Tics is not frequently distributed to
political enemies. It is we'll to re-
member in this connection that Mr.

PUBLICITY PROVISIONS

One of the new laws which passed
the last session of the legislature and
which becomes operative at once, is
House Bill II, Ashiem, which re-
quires that the state treasurer pub
lish quarterly statement under oath
showing total amount of all mon
les in his hands or under his control
the last day of the preceding month
and showing separately the amount or
portion thereof on deposit in each of
the several state depo- itaries; also
the amount Of the bond of each de-
positary and the amount on hand in
the vaults Of the state treasurer, said
report to be. verified by the state
auditor. Failure on the part of the
state treasurer to comply with the
provisions of this act shall constitute
cause for his removal from Office.
This measure was enacted because
grave questions had arisen as to the
equitable distribution of state funds
in the various state depositaries and
the exact condition should be made
pubic with the least possible delay.
However, this act does not repeal
that section of the 1905 code which
requires the state treasurer 10 report
annually to the governor a detailed
report of the expenditures, and cause
that also to be published.

insurance department, and he has
not been accorded statements for pub
LEGATION. Whether any personal feel
ing has entered into this part of the
report, and whether the same COM
plant would be recorded by Ployhar
if the head OF the insurance depart
ment were a political ally and dis
tributed insurance statements liber-
ally in Mr. Ployhar's direction, are
matters to be considered in weighing
up the animus of parts of the report
in question. We observe that when
Democrats are in Office they serve
patronage to Democrats and political
friends, and that insurgents do like
wise. Human nature is a good deal
the same and the label does not
change it. 1t may be that the sys-
tenn of distribution of patronage is
entirely WRONG, but it seems to OBJ
tain in politics from and through all
grades of it, and will probably con-
tinue. If as good service is obtain
ed, at no greater cost to the state or
the people, from political friends az
from political enemies, we cannot
see that there is any serious ground
for complaint when friends are re.
Warded.

MORE COMPLICATIONS in
COMMISSION PROPOSITION

the duty, of qualified citizen to be
a candidate for office
am Informed by the other candi-
dates that the reason the announce
,ment did not appear, was that DR.. E.
P. Quain and C. M. Dahl, two of the
candidates, refused to sign it, and
have also refused to be bound by the
pledge, given by them, to accept the
nomination. AS far as I know, how
ever, none of the candidates has for
mally withdrawn from the ticket,
which has been filed with the city au-
ditor. ,,,.
I make this statement of the facts
that the citizens of Bismarck may
know that the committee made the
announcement of the candidacy of
the men named on the ticket in good
faith and relying upon their promise
to run.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, being the last
day for filing petitions, it is still op-
en- to voters to nominate other con-
didates. Respectfully,

last DAY FOR
filing PETITIONS

Today is the last day for the filing
of petitions for election under the
commission system.
On Monday petitions were oirculat-
ed and signed through the city fol
several candidates for commissioner
in addition to those heretofore men
toned, including G.. w. Wolbert for
president Git being given out that
DR.. Quain refused to run), A. w.
H. J. Geierman, H. l.. Reade and a
Van Horn (who had already filed)
for commissioners.
1t was reported Monday that mem
bers of the ticket for which petitions
were circulated earlier would not be
candidates for commission places. 1t
is not known that any of the candi-
dates has authorized a public state
ment that he would not be- a candi-
date, but this was the report that
gained currency during the day.
The situation will probably be clar-
flied today when the petitions of all
candidates must be finally filed.
There will probably be others, but
there is no doubt If those who were
named at the armory meeting had
announced positively that they
would stand as candidates, there
would have been no opposition, ex-
cept Mr.. Van Horn, who was person.
ally announced as a candidate for
one of the commissioners.

MAYOR SMYTR /
MAKES EXPLANATION

The Editor: In connection with
the publication of a ticket Of candi-
dates for president and, members Of
the city commission to be chosen at
the coming city election, I have to
request the privilege of making the
following explanation:
At meeting, called by the pro-
posed candidates, held in Mr.. Dull
lam's Office on Saturday afternoon,
all of the candidates and members
of the committee chosen at the pub
lie meeting were present. At this
meeting all of tae candidates pledged
themselves to accept the nomination
and make the run for the Office, and
also agreed to sign a statement to
appear in Sunday mornings Tribune,
announcing their candidacy.
1t is only fair to say that none Of
the candidates voluntarily offered
himself as desiring the position, but
all of them had been suggested at
the public meeting. held in the ar
mory, and had been placed in nomi-
nation by petition. >, It, 1, s

assure them that there would be no
opposition. at the polls. This, OF
course, the committee could not
promise, and the pledge. to run was
given without any such promise on
tae part OF the committee. Even II
the committee could have made such
promise it would have been con-
trary to public policy, as it is GER.

BROCK JONES IN jail
PRESIDENT OF THE oTHELLo,
CLUB PLACED IN DURANGO
VILE AS A RESULT or Ian AL
TERcATiON SUNDAY NIGHT. n

Brock Jones, president of the 9th
clio club a colored organization
which has held forth on the south
side of the track for some time past,
was arrested Monday and held to the
district court, on a charge Of main
tanning a public nuisance.
Last fall some recent arrivals of
the cclored race organized a club I'M
der the laws of the state and since
then have maintained a social organi-
cation among their avn associates.
During recent months, however,
they secured more comodious quarters
and have been moving along peaca-
bly, until Sunday night, when it seems
one Slim Miller entered the place
and attempted to conduct things ac-
cording to his own liking, the rules
of the house to the contrary, notwith-
standing. He met serious opposition
and was finally elected from the place
and soon after secured g. shot gun
and threatened dire destruction. He
was thwarted in this, however, but
on Monday he filed complaint as
stated above and the arrest of Jones
followed. During the raid of the
place Chief Wing secured two bot
ties of "cold ones" and exhibited
them to several as positive evidence.
AS the next term of court does not
convene till May, Jones will have
something of wait in jail, unless
bail is secured.

didates on the ticket printed in Sun

man only signed petitions for two of

to be signed separately, but in pub

ARM0RY nominees
Decline TO RUN

Editor Tribune: In view of the
fact that we have declined the nomi-
nations for the city commission, we
feel that an explanation is due the
citizens who were kind enough ito
nominate us at the armory meeting:
We were nominated at that meet
ing with the understanding that our
candidacy and election would be nom
political, that the various political
factions In The city would all unite
in the effort to lift our city govern
ment out of the old political rut.
However. the announcement that. we
would consent to, run under those
conditions had scarcely been made
when we were confronted with the
fact that certain political elements,
which we had been led to believe had
subscribed to our non-political plat
form, were lining up to fight us to
finish.
We had but one Of two courses to
follo|-either to line up with some
of these factions and make a strenu-
Gus campaign, or to withdraw alto
gether. We chose the latter.
Our withdrawal is not to be laid up
against our unwillingness to serve,
nor against the committee appointed
at the armory, but against the smoul-
dering political feuds which refused
to stay down even after the char
mony" meeting at the armory.
