REPUBLICAN MEET
IMPORTANT ONE

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 16.-The
republican state executive committee
met yesterday in Grand Forks and
! transacted important business rela-
tive to the carrying on of the fall cam
paign for the state ticket. Two ses-
sions were held, morning and after
noon, Chairman F. S. Talcott of Buff
falo, presiding. There was a good at
tendance of members and candidates
and the meeting was marked by har-
mony. Naturally the most important
business of the meeting was the selec-
ton of an assistant secretary and q
secretary to the executive committee.
There was a disposition on the part
Of the members of the committee to
put the campaign i'm the hands of an
entirely different group of men than
has conducted the former campaigns.
Accordingly Capt. Frank Henry Of
Valley City was selected as assistant
secretary and Otto c. Strom of La
kota as secretary Of the executive
committee. These men will be in
charge at the headquarters to be open
ed at Bismarck in the near future.
and will have practically entire charge
of the campaign. Both men are es-
pecially well equipped to carry on the
work. Editor Grant S. Hager OF the
Walsh County Record. and st. Thomas
Times, was made chairman of the
press bureau.
Following the disposal Of the bust
ness of the meeting the financial end
OF the campaign was discussed at
length and a general discussion on
the question Of supporting the choice
OF the party at the primaries was par
ticipated in. Speeches were deliver
ed by a number of those present along
the line of harmony urging that the
choice Of the party at the primaries be
the choice of republicans at the fall
election. Naturally the gubernatorial
situation came in for a large share of
the discussion, for this is the only
state office for which real fight is
conceded. .

SHARP CLASH WITH TEDDY
IN PUBLISHED STATEMENT NEW
YORK STATE COMMITTEEMAN
AND LEADER OF OLD GUARD
SAYS THAT FUTURE OF REPuR-
LicAN PARTY IN THAT STATE
WILL BE DECIDED AT SARA
ToeA CONVENTION.

New York, Sept. 16.-Dhere was q
sharp exchange today between Col.
theodore Roosevelt and William
Barnes, jr., republican state commit
teeman and leader of the so-called old
guard in Albany county.
In published statement Barnes
said: "No amount of political naneu-
Vering, use OF patronage or personal
ABUSE can in the slightest degree OBJ
scure the one issue which must be
fought out to finish at Saratoga.
There will be determined the future of
the republican party in the state of
New York for some years to come.
That party must determine in it's
platform whether it will be recognized
as a conserving force, which has been
its History, or whether it will follow
the radical policies of Roosevelt and
lose the strategic position which it has
held in the state OF New York for many
years as a party of sanity and pro-
tector OF industry, upon which the
world of business and labor must de-
pend.
If. 1t does not hold to it's time hon
ored and successful principles, but
seeks for new gods to worship, its mis-
take viii be taken advantage of by its
adversary.
Can't Win by melting Mob.
"No radical candidate has ever car
ried the state of New York. Progress
In political life is essential to any
party but the state leadership, which
relies for Its strength upon melting the
mob can never. even If it tries, stem
the tide which 1t has created. The re-
publican party in this state has never
faced crisis so fundamental to its
existence, such as it must meet at this
hour
$3.50 RooseveIt's Reply.
When Barnes statement was shown
to Roosevelt the latter dictated the fol-
lowing comment:
Il am indeed blessed in my enemies |
am very genuinely grateful to Barnes |
for having unconsciously made the is |
sue so clear between what he is pleas
ed to call Rooseveltism on one hand \
and on the other side the alliances of |
boss with that element of big business
which seeks to control dhe politics in /
connection with the business"
