VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS
The Tribune has not had so much
to say in this campaign of men as it
has said Of measures and the things
political the different factions of the
republican party stand for. Repub-
licanism in this state is divided into
two classes-those who have support
ed republican policies and the repub-
lican administration, who have stood
for party action in party matters and
the enactment of those reforms that
are wise and necessary from within
the party, without unnatural and I'M

surgents.
Insurgency has not gotten much
comfort out of election returns or
party conventions recently. In Wis
consin and South Dakota and Mime
sofa and Iowa, the voters have re-
buked at the polls those ambitious
leaders who have been fighting the
president and the party. In North
Dakota, we believe, at the election
today, the voters will rebuke those
politicians who have been willing to
destroy the republican party if there
by they could get into office.
This is not time for the elevation
to Office of party wreckers and party
destroyers. The insurgents in this
state have ignored the state primary
law, for a select committee of twenty
one nominated their ticket in the sole
interest of Marshall and Gronna, can
didates for the senate.
The leaders of the insurgent move
ment in this state are men who have
grown old and gray in the business
of Office holding at the hands of the
republican party and the republican
organization.
There is not man on the insurgent
ticket in the state who ever discov-
cred so much as a barnacle on the
ship of state when he was riding in
it as an office holder.
Mr.. Marshall rode into congress
over the defeat of Burleigh F. Spald-
ing. He tried to ride in again by the
Endorsement of an alleged insurgent
convention, and the defeat of M. N.
Johnson. He has been a persistent
candidate for the senate for so long
that his point of view is jaundiced,
and he now comes to the front as an
"insurgent"- the leader Of the
reform" movement in this state. At
the jamestown convention Mr.. Mar
shall was stalwart, because there
was a congressional nomination in 1t
for him. On every occasion in public
life Mr.. Marshall has heen an or
ganization republican,, when there
was an office in sight. AS soon as his
ambition rose higher than his cap
acity, he became an insurgent, and
has continued to be one and will con-
tinue to be one until the bee Of his
ambition stops buzzing, which prom.
Uses to be at an indefinite time in the
future.
What is true of Mr.. Marshall IS true
of Mr.. Gronna. Two years ago he
was stalwart, fighting hard for the
republican organization. He was an.
other who profited by the second de-
feat of B. F.. Spalding. His ambition
for the senate has been responsible
for his insurgency. The voters of
the state have not forgotten the po-
litical vagaries of Mr.. Gronna and
Mr.. Marshall.
! Mr.. McCumber has been a consis-
tent republican, and is creditable
senator. His service is of value to
the state. He is not trimmer, a
