State convicts to be worked on the

Saries, the republican candidate fog
governor was also defeated. II is ag~
ured that the detection from KnauG
and the attack made on the repgbli-
can organization for It's nonnination,
cost the republican ticket not less than
10000 votes. Saries was defeated by.
only 5000.
This was the beginning OF the
troubles that have beset the repubIi-
cans OF the state ever since, and many
Of the stalwArt followers do noe relish
that part that was played in II by re-
publicans who had enjoyed the fruits
OF republican support. And Engerud's
| resignation following the election
placed Judge Spalding, formerly mem
Der OF congress-, on the bench and
made the way for the filling Of the two
additional places on the supreme bench
| by democratic governor. All of these
things are apt to enter into considera-
| ton when the voting Is done at the
next primaries, and may bring about
some unexpected results.
Miller and MecurbeE.
Attorney General Miller has not vet
made a declaration of his Intentions
with reference to the senatorship. His
political opponents say he is playing ia
get a promise OF support for governor,
or. at the last, OF an election again az
attorney general without opposition in
return for an agreement to keep QUE
OF the senatorial race.
What MeCumber's chances are can.
not well be foretold until the close Of
the present session OF congress. A
good deal Of medicine has been made
against McCumber in the state be-
cause Of the tariff schedules. He has
been charged with his share OF re-
sponsibility for the failure OF the re-
publican party to reduce the tariff as
far as some Of the insurgents think
1t should have been reduced This
sentiment, with the tendency of North
Dakota to follow after the lead OF
wisconsin Iowa and Minnesota. mas
fostered opposition to McCumber.
II the tariff results in a generally
prosperous condition, and the present
congress makes what appears to be a
consistent effort to carry out the poll
cies toward which great share OF the
middle west is leaning. II is likely that
the new act will not be so vital an is
sue in the primary campaign.
+ AS LHe SITUATION STANDS at present.
the insurgents say that McCumbsr
represents the interests and not the
people OF the state. The stalwartm
reply that Marshall and Gronna have
been on all sides of the political
fence, and are insurgents only because
they think that cause is popular.
No Moses Found Vet. d
Up to the present time, no candi-
date for governor has been suggested
upon whom 1t appears that the war
ring factions OF the republican party
can get together. An agreement upon
a candidate who would command the
and support of both fac
lions would go a long way toward
healing fractional differences In the
state. NAEa4R
But the real Moses mas not vet been
Judging from the comments
OF each faction upon the candidates
suggested by the other. And the state
wide primary law seems to be doing
its share toward creating factions in
stead of parties, destroying party or
ganization and promoting bitterness
among the leaders.
