full hearer that they should as loudly
as any democratic speaker, roast the
tariff as it is at present, and has
been in the most prosperous years
in the history of the United States,
shout for it's lowering along demo-
cratic lines, and then, in conclusion,
heap ridicule upon the democrats,
their fellow-workers in the political
vineyard. Another popularity of in.
surgent speakers and writer's. is that,
while they denounce the tariff and say
that it must be Observation-Disclosures on
the product of the eastern factory or
on the meat, grain and other commo-
dities produced by the western farm
er. Their hearers and readers are
left completely in the dark as to
whether the minimum tariff line,
which will let down the industrial
bars to the cheaply made goods from
across both oceans, and no definite In
formation is given by them to the
protectionist on which he may study
out for himself the question as to
whether the cry of the insurgents for
a lower tariff calls for figures above
or below those he believes to he safe
and necessary for the welfare of his
country.
Mr.. Buchanan spoke first. He de-
clared himself in favor of lower tar
if; said that he was firm believer
in prohibitory laws, and gave the CUB
ernatOrial candidates usual summary
of the good things that would come
to pass should he be elected and have
the legislature in accord with his way
of thinking. Mr. Buchanan is very
pleasant spoken, gentlemanly appear
ing man. There was not word of
harsh criticism of any 'one in his en-
tire speech, and, in an extended visit
which Messrs. Buchanan and Helge-
sen made to the Record Office in the
afternoon, both gentlemen declared
emphatically that they had not in
their speeches, made a personal at
tack on any republican of any fac
ton, or done anything calculated to
make it difficult for both factions Of
the republican party to unite in sup
port 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 democrat, Jones
of Rock" to the effect that in Mr.. Blu
chanan's speech at LaMOure he had
denounced Mr.. Kennedy of Fargo, the
national republican committeeman for
this state. Mr.. Buchanan and Mr..
Helgesne both strongly denied the at
tack charged, and asserted that Meth
er 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 dis
cuss anything but issues of policy. Mr..
Buchanan IS fine looking man. and
his personal appearance is in his fav-
or. Mr.. Helgesen, as most old timers
who have attended state conventions
know. is a fluent talker, and is capa-
pie of causing the affirmative of the
proposition that the moon is an out
put of a cheese factory to loiter on
the ragged edge of the realm of plau-
sibility
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
ticularly to the textile fabrics indus
try. He called attention to the high
prices of the output in this line and
the low compensation of the textile
