From the News.
Col. Brady, one of the early settlers
of LaMoure county, was found drowned
in slough out on the prairie. The
team he was driving came home alone
and he was found two or three days
later.
All the local sports and a number
from Monango and Edgeley gathered
at Merricourt last Sunday to witness
the horse race between Joe Handel's
crack racer and Gorham Palmer's
Mystery" Handel's horse took the
first race and then another purse was
raised and a second race was run, the
Mystery taking easy money. Both
parties are confident that they have the
best horse and will try their luck again
at Merricourt July 4th.

SENATOR JOHNSON
. ITCHING TO EXPLAIN
Announces He Will Go On
Stump as Soon as He
Returns to State.
His Support Of the Aldrich Pro.
gram on Tariff Requires
Some Explanation.

washington, June l9.-Senator Mar
tin N. johnson is itching to get back to
North Dakota to enter the fight he
knows he will have to make to explain
his general support of the Aldrich COM
bination in the senate in voting with it
on the tariff schedules. Mr.. johnson
voted for the McCumber amendment
putting lumber on the free list, but
otherwise he has been found lined up
with the conservatives in support of
the various schedules.
81 am looking forward to tie time
when / shall be able to get on the
stump and tell the good people of North
Dakota what I believe to be the truth
about the pending bil," said Senator
johnson. II am not going TO- wait
until the campaign Of 1910, but am
going right at it as soon as l get home.
'"The situation this year is in every
respect similar to that following the
passage of the Mckinley tariff bill in
1890. I propose to follow the same
course with reference to this years bill
that l did nineteen years ago. Then
did not follow the plan of other repub-
licans in the northwest who were can
didates for Office. They went on the
stump in more or less apologetic atti-
tude toward the Mckinley law. I did
not. / placed that bill before me and
announced to the people of my state
that it was protection measure, de-
signed to benefit the people of North
Dakota as well as other states, and
that the result of its enactment would
be the building up of business all over
the country. The result of that cam
paign was that I was returned to the
house for the next long term. Most of
the apologists were defeated, and the
next house was overwhelmingly demo-
cratic.
II shall pursue the same course in
my talks to the people of North Da-
kota on the pending bill. / regard it as
one that upholds the principles Of pro-
lection in practically all the schedules,
and while not all that could be desired
from the viewpoint Of the people of the
middle west, it is the best that could
be obtained, as the result Of the mature
Judgment of congress.
The people of North Dakota are
protectionists, and ! believe they will
indorse the law that congress will enact
in this extra session. -

no patronage matters or any attempt

it was declared by Senator McCumber,
among others, that Mckenzie simply
talked what North Dakota wanted in
the way of tariff.
