the pubernatorial candidate usua
summary of the good things that
would come to pass should he be
elected and have the legislature N
accord with his way OF thinking Mr
Buchanan is a pleasant spoken. gen
tlemanly appearing man. There was
NOT word of harsh criticism OF any
one in his speech, and, n an extend
ed visit which Messrs Buchanan
and Helgesen made TO the Record
Office in the afternoon, both gentle
men declared emphatically that they
had not in their speeches made a
personal attack on any republican OF
any faction. or done anything calcu-
| lated TO make it difficult for both
factions of the republican party 70
unite in support of the successful
ticket after the primary shall have
been held. They wished especially
to deny the charge supposed TO have
been sent to the Fargo Forum By a
democrat, Jones of Rock, TO the
effect that in Mr.. Buchanan speech
at I.aNoure he had denounced Mr.
Kennedy Of Fargo, the national re-
publican committeeman for this
state. Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Hell
gesen both strongly denied the at
tack charged, and asserted that
neither Mr.. kennedy's name nor
Office had been mentioned by either
speaker. They further said that
they did not intend in their future
speeches TO discuss anything but
issues of policy. Mr.. Buchanan
| is fine-looking man. and his per
sonal appearance is in his favor.
Mr.. Helgesen. as most old-tlmers
who have attended state conventions
know, is fluent talker, and is ca
pable Of causing the affirmative OF
the proposition that the moon is an
output of cheese factory to loitel

FEASIBILITY.
The man Of Cavalier followed the
man of Stutsman in speaking, and
the fact Of the small crowd. in which
there were seven stalwarts and one
anarchist, did not discourage him in
the least. He attacked the tariff
wanted it lowered, and referred par
lticularly to the textile-fabrics in.
dustry. He called attention to the
high prices Of the ouput in this line
and the low compensation of the
| textile workers. He used the cute
old democratic method of computa-
ton, in making up his average Of
wages paid in that industry. of TAX.
ing the total paid out to all en-
ployees and dividing it by the total
number employed all or part OF
the year, even if the employee had
worked but day or two, neglecting
to state that in this industry, as in
most industries of its kind. a large
proportion Of the force was employed
only during the rush season and
was engaged at other work during
the remainder of the year. He also
neglected to say that he had taken
the one industry in which the trade
union propaganda has made least
Roadway, and said nothing about
the more than hundred organized
trades in which the wages had kept
pace in some of them more than
kept pace with the increased cost
of living. He did not ask the farmers
present whether the wage Of farm
labor is higher or lower than it
was under the Cleveland admins
tration and the working of the
Wilson-Gorman tariff law, and in
fact he used only the textile
fabrics situation to prove that the
wages of American workers had not
risen correspondingly with the rise
in the cost Of living. Neither did
he advise the farmers to initiate a
crusade against the high price of
farm products, and he did not de-
mand that they voluntarily reduce
the price of their grains. their meats,
their horses, their butter and their
other products, to the end that the
cost of living might be reduced to
the consumers of the output of the
farms. Once he pronounced hurried

But he neglected to state, also, that
in the long years during which Nc
Kenzie led the republican forces

of the state-there was never a
shadow of suspicion that state
officer was doing the gouge game,
and there never was in all those
