WHAT SANTA FOUND

over the prairies white
Santas ship the sky,
Sped like a bird in fight
To far window light,
Dim to the distant eye.
Above a chimney gray
All the propelers stopped;
And Santa did sway
On rope ladder way,
Then down a dark hole dropped
lie found small breeches three
Hung by the freside;
On one the words, Dear Chris
A peck OF coal In this!
Yours very truly, Clyde"
He turned half way around
And read IT have been good
Dear Santa and / found
My breeches legs bound
To hold ten sticks of wood"
Then on the smallest pair
) or pantes, he
These words. Dear Chris, care
For light TO the bear
That comes, when I'm in bed"
Tears fell from Santa's eyes
And from his ship hard coal
y Wood, kerosene and pies,
And cakes of wondrous size
Passed down the chimney hole
Touching the power-dove
Santa resumed his trip,
Guided by light above
The brilliant Star of Love-
The guide star OF his ship.

His election has been the result of the
weakness of his enemy and not of his

permitted the building up of a demo-

time will overthrow the will of the

OF permitting this to be done for the
mere glory of winning a factional fight

Bismarck Tribune: Colonel Bloom
| of The Devils Lake Journal appears 10
have a grievance against Congressman
Hanna and he takes some space in The
Devils Lake Journal 10 show that Mr..
Hanna got a very light vote at the re-
cent election. Bloom notes that with
the exception of Helgesen, who was
also a candidate for congress, Hanna
got lower total vote than any of the
republican state candidates who were
elected. All of this Is deceptive rea-
soning. Bloom knows that no cam
paign was made by the democrats ex-
cept for governor and congressmen.
For state offices, the democrats did
not campaign at all. So all of the
democratic orators combined their ef-
forts on these three places, and IL Is
natural that considering the tariff agi-
tatlon fostered by the democrats and
some OF the insurgent republicans and
the combined efforts of all the demo-
cratic speakers, the candidates for
state office on the republican ticket
VINO were practically unopposed
should have received a heavier total
vote than the candidates for congress.
And considering all the noise and fuss
that was made regarding the tariff and
the cost OF living, we think the repub-
lcan candidates for congress did
mighty well. Bloom makes another
misleading statement when he saws
that the stalwarts of the state cut Hell
gesen's vote. Stalwarts have been
pretty loyal republican when IT comes
to supporting republican candidates,
and they voted loyalty for Mr.. HeIge-
sen as party nominee. And If they
had been disposed to cut any of their
nominees for congress, in whose favor
would they have done tin favor of
M. A. Hildreth, the wild and untamed
vocalist Of the Cass county prairies
or Tobias Casey. whose Jeffesonian
democracy will go untarnished and un-
smirehed down the corridors of time
Bloom is a mean commentator when
he gets a grievance aboard and his
meanness shows in his comments on
the Hanna vote.
