The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1910-04-23

1t would be a calamity to turn Tawney
down. Why keep Tawney and turn
McCumber down? They voted exactly
alike on the same tariff bill. McCum-
Der has worked hard for bills in the
interests OF the farmer. is strong on
prohibition lines, and votes right ON
every real reform measure that comes
up in the senate. The twin CITY grain
men don't want McCumber elected be-
cause he is fighting for federal inspec-
tion OF grain and if that comes To PASS
1t means the wiping cut of some big
profits for the grain. melI and putting
more dollars into the pockets of the
farmers. The farmers should not down
the man who is trying to help them out
because he did not vote to suit them
on the tariff bill. No man is perfect
and may vote wrong occasionally, but
ne overshadows that by the many good
DEEDS he does. Don't let a lot of as
plring politicians warp your Judgment.
The tariff is not worrying the farmers
half so much as 1t is the big grain svn-
dicates who are trying to get McCum-
oer's scalp and will use lots of money
and energy to do it.

Bismarck Tribune: The bar of. the
state stands pretty solidly behind
Judge Fisk of the supreme court. in
connection with the recen. criticisms
that some of Judge FisRs opinions
were not pleasing to the more ardent

more vigorous enforcement of the nro-
hibition law. 1t has been pretty gem
orally recognized by the bar of the
state that Judge Fisk's opinions have
been written honestly, the law lafd
down as he construed 1t, and la1nbia sad

In the big campaigns the demo-
cratic tickets usually run wen ON
every other day except the dav of
the election. Jeffersonian bannnets
are not good disseminating cenfers
of political prescience. Neither in
special election In Massachusetts, in
March nor in New York in April Ia
the verdict for November rendered If
is altogether probable that the general
result for the congressional camnairn
of 1910 will be a repetition of the story
of 1894 and of every election year
since then.
Plaza Pioneer: G. A. Johnson will
be q sure winner for governor. Peo-
Pile are getting tired of John Burke
and democratic governors and
United States senators. They want IN
elect governor from the people. one
who represents republican principles.
Ever since last election day told the
sad story of Burke's election, the folly
of 1t all has come. with force to every
voter, and they are all waiting for
chance to put in republican govern |
or. c. A. Johnson took his defeat two
years ago with bowed head, and a
thankful heart to every man in the
state who voted for him, and no III
will to those who voted against him.
He comes back with confidence that
the people of the state have nothing
against him, and that this year he
will meet with their approval.

heart. we could look for even better
results.
