Can Fill His Place

Judge Engerud is a candidate for
the short term in the United States
senate. This is the place made va
cant by the death Of Martin N. John.
son, who defeated Tom Marshall two
year ago. Mr.. Engerud's opponent
is A. j. Gronna, who, like Mr.. Mar
shall, was a prominent member of the
regular Republican organization of
this state until he found that the
leaders Of the party would not help
him to turn down his superiors in
ability and thus make a. place for
him in the United States senate.
Mr.. Engerud was formerly a mem
Der OF the state supreme court. He
is a Republican who believes in Re-
publican principles, and who will
not help to still the cost of living
cry by helping to remove or lower
the tariff on the products of west
ern farms. He is a man of splendid
character, and one of the ablest law
yers in the state. With McCumber
and Engerud in the United States
senate, the people of the common
wealth of North Dakota will not have
reason to fear comparison of their
senators with those of any state in
the Union.
The members of the last session of
the legislature of this state believed
that the positions Of supreme and
district judge should be removed
from politics. To this end they en-
acted a law that candidates for such
offices should go on the ticket at the
primary and regular elections with.
out any party designation. When
the voter goes to The polls on the
10Th of this month he, will be given
a separate ticket bearing the ten
names of the candidates for the SUI.
preme court. There are three posi-.
tions of this character to be filed.
At the primary the voter will vote
for six candidates. The six having
the highest numbers will go on the
ballot at the fall election, and the
voter will then cast his ballot for
three of the six. Among the hes,
of the candidates is Charles ]. Fisk
a present incumbent of the office
Newcomers to the state who are not
acquainted with the standing of any
of the candidates often ask some old
timer as to the standing of such-and
such a candidate on the state ticket
The writer is asked that question Of
ten; and, when he is asked 1t in re
lation to the supreme.court ticket, nc
will say that Judge Fisk, although q
democrat, is one of the fairest and
squarest men who ever sat on any
court; and that Charles M. Cooley
s. e. Ellsworth (now q member)
William J. Kneeshaw, P. H. Rourkt
and Silver serumgard are all abb.
lawyers and men of statewide repu
tation for honesty and fair.dealing.--

Bowman Pioneer: Senator McCum-
Der has served the people of this state
faithfully and well in the senate of
the United States and we see no good
reason why he should not be returned
for another term in order that he may
continue to serve us. The candidate
Tor the short term is Judge Engerud,
a nan who is so opposed to gang rule
that he resigned from the supreme
bench of North Dakota rather than
stand for it. He asks for the indorse.
ment of the voters rather than that of
any bunch of politicians.

Republican Ticket is Good


in this issue represents as we be-
lieve, the dominant political sen
timent Of this state. 1t represent:
the policies for which Roosevelt
contended and for which President
Taft is striving. Moreover, it is
not the ticket Of the dark lantern
processes. 1t was not Matched be-
hind closed doors before the filing
date had passed. 1t is made up
from the best and strongest ma
terial, as we believe, that was at
hand after the time in which filings
could be made had gone by. Until
then the field was open for all who
desired to enter the race.
This, as the heading to the tick
It says, conforms to the prin-
ciples and intent of the primary
law" It is the ticket, from the
standpoint of principle and from a
true conception of the law, that any
Republican may conscientiously adj
vocate and vote. From the stand
point OF personality, it is unassail-
able. Every mar on it is a repre-
sentative citizen, as nearly without
blenish as it is possible, in these
human times, for any considerable
aggregation of mortal men to be.
In theory, and according to his
own notions, of course, the ere
former" of other days might have
selected d better ticket than this
me-; but when we recall the fact
that the "reformers' of those other
davs are now the political ma
chine men of the present hour,
and that. in the matter of combin-
ations and states, they have outdone
the worst gang" stunts of the po-
l.tical Yesterdays, it must be admit
ted and we have no doubt will gen
orally be conceded that theory is a
weak reed for a practical public to
lean uDon.
T, Now it will have been noticed
that the champions of the ticket
that was framed up at Valley City
weeks and weeks ago, long before
the expiration of the filing date,
are referring to the persons on that
ticket as candidates. By whom
were they made candidates? Ger
tainly not by the voters, through
delegates Or otherwise. A candi-
date is one who has been selected
in a lawful and orderly way to
represent his party in a campaign,
between two or more parties. I'm
til he has been so selected he is a
mere aspirant for a place OF his
party's ticket. The date of making
selections of candidates, as provid-
ed BY law, is June Goth. The men
selected at that time will be the
candidates to contend with the op-
posing party at the November cleo
ton.
However, these important di-
stinctions have never disturbed the
old Performers" who are now the
machine politicians of Our state
else they would not have had the
unprecedented hardihood, or per.
haps it would be better to say the
unparalleled gall, to do what they
did at Valley City last winter, wher
the eliminating committee was
making and unmaking "candi.
dates while their financial hacker.

Indignantly Declares He Is More

Than Listening to Priest.
Typist Frustrated.

LONDON, oct. a4.--Foiio~ing a
conference with the prison authori-
ties. Lord Chief Justice Ai4erstone
to-day definitely fixed the date fer
the hanging OF DIR. H. II. Crippen.
convicted on Saturday of the murder
of his Wife, Belle Elmore. for Tues
day, November 4.
Crippen's attorneys are already pre-
pairing for their appeal to the court
OF criminal appeals. although II Is
admitted that there Ia only the slight
est chance that this body will inter
fere with the decision OF the lower
court.
Crippen had recovered his compos-
ure to-day and continued to protest
his innocence. When offered religious
consolation. he became indignant and
said that ne was more interested in
getting his rights than in listening
to a priest.
To Hang at PentOnsville.
Crippen will be hanged in Pentons-
Vile prison should his appeal fail. as
is expected. unless the home secretary
intervenes and recommends to the
crown that he be reprieved.
Miss Leneve is prostrated to-day
She had fully expected that DIR. Grip
pen would be acquitted. thus necessi-
tating her own release.
When she received the word that
Crfppen had been convicted and SEN
fenced to death she tainted, and II
was some time before the prison doc
tor could restore her to consciousness.
She is now apprehensive of the out
come OF her own trial on charge OF
accessory after the fact. which will
begin tomorrow.
So far ~ the scope Of the appeal
is concerned. Attorney Newton said
to-day that IT was uncertain. He can
not decide until he has had a con-
ference with his client and he to-day
asked the authorities to authorize the
interview.
