NEkS AND NOTES

Bisbee Gazette: "A democrat promi.
nent in the councils OF the party and
at one time state committeeman
passed through Bisbee some time ago
and In an interview with The Gazette
stated that Governor Burke had Of
Tended so large part OF his party by
MS erratic conduct In those senatorial
appointments that thousands Of the
rank and file had become disguised
with him.
Dickinson Post: W1ar is the duty
of a republican Vote en- Tuesday,
Nov. g.?
That question should not be one chat
Is very difficult tosanswer. The can
didates on the republican ticket went
before the people of the state of North
Dakota and announced their names as
candidates for nomination for the var
ious offices to be voted for. The fact
that their names appear as candidates
OF the party show that they were sue
cessful, obtaining more votes than any
Others for the same offices to which
they aspire. That they had the conf
dence of the majority of the republi-
cans is eYinced by the fact that thew
We're nominated. They went into the
nght at the primaries In good faith
believing that the members OF the
party with which they were affiliated
would abide by the decision of the ma
Jorlty, which is juct and fair, and they
are seeking the support Of their party
and they should have it,
North Dakota is a republican state
1t is naturally overwhelmingly SO. and
there appears no good reason why this
state should be represented in the
United States by a democrat, and yet
she is.
Williston Graphic: The Ray Pioneer
in an editorial in last weeks issue.
makes a howl about the tariff ana at
tacks Senator McCumJer and Repre-
sentative Hanna for voting for the tar
III Dill. The article makes numerous
statements, ut proves none. II states
That the tariff law was revised up
ward. net downward, and expects the
people to swallow such statement.
The reading public know different and
they know that this law has proven
the best tariff law ever enacted. They
also know that the present admins
tration provided a tariff commission
to continue the work on this law and
IL is their duty to take up different
articles one at time and make such
corrections as are needed. A tariff
law cannot be made in or even twelve
months. This bright writer doubtless
would make one in a day were he
given the power, but then we don't
swallow everything in sight at the first
swallow, as he does. Senator McCum-
Der and Representative Hanna voted
for this tariff and we believe thew
voted conscientiously when they did
SO. We have watched the work of
both OF these men while in washing
ton and we always found them work
ing for the best interests of their state
Would they have been doing so If
they had voted against this tariff bill?
Certainly not. They knew the merits
OF the bill and they also knew that it
was not all that they wished. They
also knew, however, that this tariff
commission was being created by the
party that made this tariff bill and
that 1t was and would be the duty of
this commission to take up different
articles under the tariff and make such
corrections from time to time as were
needed By this method we will in
time have a perfect tariff bill and we
believe that this is the only method
by which we can ever hope to get such
a one.
