The evening Of October 2s Attorney J.
F. Callahan of Casselton spoke at the
opera house. 1t was the first republican
rally Of the season in Dickinson. There
had been no music provided and the
audience. which included some ladies,
was not large one, although to fair
degree an appreciative one.
Mayor R. II. johnson, chairman of
the county central COMMITTEES, introduced
the speaker.
Mr.. Callahan is a gentleman of ex-
cellent oratorical ability and with a
commanding presence on the platform.
He won the interest Of his hearers from
the start. and held it until he had
finished his speech.
OF national matters he said:
Both the democrats aid the republi-
cans believed that the tariff is necessary
as a means Of raising money to meet
the running expenses of the government.
But the democrats and republicans dis
agree as to the best methods of raising
money by the tariff. The democrats say
that they are in favor of a tariff for
revenue only; but there is dissension in
their ranks az to the Interpretation of
this statement. The democrats also say
that the home manufacturers do not need
any protection. One of the, Greatest
arguments in fayorsd a protective tariff
is The balance Of trade. When We have
radical decrease we will have each
year more imports than exports and at
the end of the year the balance of trade
wifi Re against us. If we buy our goods
abroad some one who is manufacturing
the same goods at home must be idle,
or eosinto some other business, OF out of
business entirely.
''ln North Dakota we have been hav-
ing a peculiar campaign. Up to q few
days ago the campaign: has been for
only lone man-the governor. Republi-
cans have been asked by the democrats
to break away from their moorings and
to vote for the democratic nominee.
But 1 see no good reason for break
ing away from the good old party.
Burke makes himself the issue of
the campaign. In his speech. at Grand
Forks. Casselton, Kindred. his speech
is all John Burke. Burke should not
be thin-skinnsd. about criticism. He
has done several things to be criticised
for. like the salary grab, for instance.
In his message to the legislature two
years ago, Burke said that if he had to
appoint q senator, he would aproin. the
man having the highest number of votes
Of the people, regardless of party. Yet
when the death of NJ N. johnson made
it imperative that he act in the senate's
stead, did he appoint the man having
the next highest number Of votes, as bis
statement would have led men to believe
he would do? Did he appoint Thomas
F. Marshall7 Or even conceding that
Marshall was q republican and Burke q
democrat. did Burke appoint the man
having the highest number Of demo.
cratic votes in the state, j. L. Cashels
No. He appointed Fountain l. Thomp-
son. And who was Fountain L. Thomp-
son? And why was not Purcell ap-
pointed in the first instance3
Burke is building up democratic
machine in the state. Why wasn't
Marshall appointed United States sena:
tor! Because it wouldn't help his poll
ical machine. Why were not republic
cans appointed game wnrdens? Because
he would have no one to peddle his
pictures and post up his bills. =
1T is just the question Of the old
democratic tanglefoot- they want the
republicans Of q aerepublican statelto vote
for Burke. thereby securing democratic
administration. But this is republi.
can state. It is entitled to two repub-
lican United States senators, Two repub-
lican congressman. a republican COVER
aor.s and Is q the undivided support 81
