The Campaign Opens


been opened and the campaign
bureau has been esta blished at
Bismarck. This is a recognition
of the fact that the western part of
the state is growing and that the
vote in this section is rapidly in
creasing. Formerly the Red river
valley was thought to be the battle
ground. But the strides made by
the western part Of the state and
the large influx of new settlers has
indicated to the republicans the
importance of making their head
quarters in the capital city and
reaching out for the support Of the
western part Of the state.
The campaign bureau has been
organized upon the basis Of the
settlement of factional differences.
and the reuniting''of the republican
party. Frank S. Talcott, the chair
man, has the confidence Of all fac
tons and all leaders. He is a clean
aud able republican. courteous,
honorable and an advocate Of the
square deal. His selection is
"a
pleasing to all factions and all Of
the candidates. With him as sec
rotary is j. NJ. Devine. who was
chairman Of the progressive cam
paign committee in the primaries.
Other officials of the campaign bu-
reau are Frank S. Henry Of Valley
City, assistant secretary, who has
a wide acquaintance and is we'll
known through the state, Otto c..
Strom, a son Of the old and we'll
known Senator HI. II. Strom Of
Traill county. one Of the sound
and worthy republicans Of the
state, and Grant $. Hager. editor
OF the Walsh County Record, who
will be in charge Of the publicity
bureau.
This organization ought to be
pleasing to the republicans Of the
state and to inspire in the good
faith of the leaders Of the party in
burying their differences and work.
ing together for the good of the
party. There can be no claim that
any faction Of the party has not
been recognized. New blood has
come into the campaign organiza-
ton. This promises we'll for the
success of the republicans in this
campaign and fore the future of
the republican party.
Republicans ought to settle their
differences this year and vote their
party ticket straight. We have a
law and the candidates
for office were nominated under it.
IF we do not abide the result of
the primary, we might as we'll have
no party organization. For the
past four years the republicans of
this state have fought among
themselves and the democrats are
the only ones who have profted.
Neither faction of the republi-
can party has all the wisdom or in
huence for good. Neither faction
canget along without the other. The
leaders of the party have come to-
gether in the interest of republic
canism. Now let the rank and file
come together and the new deal
will be for the benefit of the state
of North Dakota and its people.
The signs are good for republi.
canism in North Dakota this year.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 21.-The Re-

more than two hours on a platform
prepared by a subcommittee COM
posed of standpatters of that body for
submission to the state convention
which will select the party's candidate
for governor.
A large number of amendments
were offered, most of them coming
from the progressives, and in nearly
all instances the amendments were de-
feated. At the conclusion of the meet
ing the platform was referred back to
the subcommittee to be put in proper
~phraseology.
The platform does not declare for
direct primaries and a plank favOring
the physical valuation Of railroads was
defeated.

without. He said there ere two
main things responsible for insur.

Cannonism he said that no man was

should be changed. He defended the

No Chance In History.

Mazzini said that he did not believe
that chance existed in history. "a
cause must necessarily underlie every
event, although for the moment 1t may
appear as the result Of apparently ac-
cidental circumstances. An Alexander,
a Caesar, Napoleon, are not the re-
suits of accident, but the inevitable
product of the time and nation from
which they spring. 1t was not Caesar
who destroyed the Roman republic.
The republic was dead before Caesar
came. Sulla, Marius, Catiline, preced-
ed and foreshadowed Caesar. but he.
gifted with keener insight and greater
genius. snatched the power from them
and concentrated it in his own hands.
For there was no doubt that he was
filter to rule than all the others put
together. At the same time, supposins
he had appeared $50 years earlier, he
would not have succeeded In destroy
ing the republic. When he came the
life had already gone out of it. and
even Caesars death could not restore
