N. D. POLITICAL GOSSIP


Cooperstown Courier: Ex-Judge Ed
ward Engerud has announced hts can
didacy for the position Of United States
senator and since he has done this is
is remarkable what a change has come
over some Of the fnsurgert editors
who year ago were saying all the
nice things they could about him. Now
they are trying to say as many mean
things about him as they can put to-
gether In sentences In their papers. II
Mr.. Engerud was good man when he
leaned towards insurgency he is equal
ly as good man now that he leans to-
ward stalwartism 1t is simply a.
game Of politics the best you can say
about IT, with the insurgents on one
side and the stalwarts on the other.
Mr. Engerud while on the supreme
bench was recognized as one Of the
best justices who ever sat on our SUI
preme court. He was spoken Of as
one Of the brainy and clean men of
the state and a large number of men
who have been Unidentified as stalwarts
but who have slipped into the insur-
gent camp for political reasons were
then sending out paeans of praise for
the ex-judge on every hand Now
that he has asserted his independence
and come out as q straight republican
candidate, these came polictical Judas
es are using their little hammers to try
and knock him. Such is the irony Of
fate and the blasted hopes of political
ambitions.
Wheatland News often one hears
that the west and central west Is not
represented at Washington on the COM
mittees OF Importance. That is quite
true. But sufficient reason is that
when once the people elect man to
be representative or senator, because.
he does not accomplish as much in
two or six years as men who have been
in the national legislature fora dozen
or more years he is retired by the peo-
pie and another man sent there. And
this new man must begin at the bot
tom Of the ladder and work UP to the
committees
North Dakota is fortunate in having
as senator man who In two terms
accomplished as much as many who
have been in the senate much longer.
and who has secured good committee
appointments whereby he has been
able to place the state in the fore
front of the western states and give
1t rank with those of the east. Also
he has accomplished considerable for
the good Of the entire citizenry of
North Dakota He is now engaged in
trying to secure legislation which will
result in clear saving to the people
! of this state of sereral million dollars
annually. He is opposed by the boards
