RESIGNATION STORY
KEEPS TO THE front
FARGO PURCELL OFF
TO WASHINGTON WITH
COMMISSION.
Stated That Thompson Will Resign
As Soon as Wahpeton Man Arrives
in the National Capital.

A report that Senator w. E. Purcell
of Wahpeton had started for Wash
burn with a commission as United
States senator in his inside pocket,
and on his arrival the resignation of
Senator Thompson would be annOunc-
ed and the appointment Of Senator
Purcell filed, was current in the city
yesterday.
Inquiry at the Office of the governor
met with the same response that was
given at the time of the first an
nouncement of Senator Thompson's
probable resignatiOn-that there was
no knowledge of Senator nhompson's
resignation or Senator Purcells ap-
pointment.
Fargo reported yesterday THAT Sen
ator Purcell had left for Washington
Saturday night, and this statement
taken in connection with the report
that Senator Thompson would resign,
was looked upon as significant. And
on the other hand, there were those
who stated that eSnator Purcells
we'll known fondness for a practical
joke, might have led him to Stirring
the new spa permen.
The political wiseacres who cred
tied the report of Thompson's resig-
nation, gave out the following pOlit-
ical dope: That Senator Thompson is
i'll and unable to take part in the next
campaign; that he is rich and the sal
now that he has had the honor f
being United States senatr; that
there has been split between the
radicals and conservatives in the dem
ocratic ranks, and that the appoint
ment Of Purcell, purely as an "hon-
orary'' senator, would heal the breach
and bring the democrats Of the state
into line; and that Burke desires to
be a candidate for reelection, and
does not want to get into the cam
paign with divided party behind
him.
It's a case of ".pay your money and
take YOUR choice" No confirmation
of the rumors that there would be
a change in the United States SEN
atorship were forthcoming at the Of
flee Of the governor.
The Fargo Forum came out last
evening with a positive statement that
Purcell had been appointed and that
he had gone to Washington for the
purpose of taking the seat. Another
report from Fargo was to the effect
that Purcell had gone to Washington
for the purpose of pleading with Mr..
Thompson to resign his commission
so the Burke might appoint him
(Pu1,oell) to the place. It was i'm
possible to get further communication
with either Governor Burke of Sec
retary Byrne this morning, and Sec
rotary Of State Blaisdell, who would
have had to sign the commission, was
in Minot and it was impossible to get
him to either confirm or deny the
report.

road camps west of the river. The

INSULTS INTELLIGENCE OF
THE PORTUGUESE

True to it's instincts, the Advertiser
yesterday in commenting on the first
issue Of The Democrat resorted to mis-
representation and deliberate falsehood.
1t makes the bald and absolutely false
statement that The Democrat has in
suited the Portuguese and attempts
to prove this statement by printing eX-
tracts from the Democratic paper taken
out of their context. This is about the
sort Of fair play that might reasonably
be expected from the Advertiser,
sheet that is never and never has been
fair to anybody under any conditions.
By that method one can prove anything
he pleases. 1t reminds one of those ul-
tra-religious persons who prove all
their statements by quoting Scripture
without any reference to the context
The Democrat did not insult the Por-
tuguese and has no intention whatever
Of doing anything of the kind But the
Advertiser does insult them daily by ex-
pecting them to swallow as the truth it's
garbled statements of Democratic utter
ances, it's deliberate falsehoods and it's
fulsome flattery of race for whom at
other than election times it has no use
and whom it has never tried in any way
to assist. All the Advertiser and those
who control it's policies care about the
Portuguese is to try to make them work
on the plantations at slaves wage
and then it raises the cry of plot if the
Portuguese the Hawaiians or the labor,
ers of any other nationality try to get
higher wages.
Really, though, isn't it strange how
the Advertiser, the Republican leaders
and the sugar interests love the Portu-
guese just now? And they will keep on,
loving them nearly to death up to about
November s, when they will find out
that the Portuguese have seen through
their selfish schemes to keep wages
down, and have cast their votes in sup
port of the Democratic candidates, the
Democratic platform and for higher
wages, better conditions of life and for
honesty and decency

EDITORIAL POLICIES

The Advertiser is in this present cam
paign avowedly to support the Republi-
can ticket, whereas it is only supporting
certain men on that ticket 1t is against
Cathcart, but refrains from repetition
of it's former libelous statements
against him for fear of damage suits.
1t is for Kuhio for The reason that
Thurston fears the power of McCandless
in Washington. not because Thurston
has any use for Kuhio, for he has not.
Thurston has no use for anybody who
cannot do just exactly as Thurston
wants done. 1t is pretty situation all
the way through. All three regular En-
glish dailies, Advertiser, Star and Bull
letin, are alleged to be Republican, and
yet each is fighting the other and each
is conducting different campaign, and
each is lying in different manner. The
Advertiser lies chiefly from force of
habit For example, where there are
four thousand people present at Dem
ocratic meeting the management of the
Advertiser will report it as three or four
hundred being persent; and if report
er dared to write about thousands in
stead of hundreds, said reporter would
have his article corrected or would be
asked to resign.
The Bulletin is more venturesome
than the Advertiser for the Bulletin in
vents lies in it's own alleged editorial
brain and tries to make the public be-
lieve them, as for example the wild
statement of the Democrats having Sc
cret organization when the Republicans,
as everybody knows, have an organiza-
ton which has no hope of being secret,
since it is notorious, and since men like
Atkinson tell the party's troubles
broadcast, shouting assurance of victory
in public places and then whining
around among individuals to the effect
that the party is going to the demnition
ow-wows-which it is. The Star, of
course, is hardly worthy of criticism, for
it has no policy at all. The Advertiser s
policy changes every halliday or so, ac-
cording to who calls at the office to
voice his opinions. The Bulletins pol
icy is just straight proposition of say
ing the contrary to what is true, as far
as the Democrats are concerned, while
the policy of the Star depends altogeth-
er whether or not the printer is in q
hurry for his "copy." IF the printer is
in hurry, then the scissors must clip
some editorial from a mainland maya
zine, whether it bears on the daily sub
ject or not. Funny, isn't it?
The other day the Advertiser had an
editorial which rejoiced the hearts of
several hundred Democrats for the rea-
son that it was good Democratic edi-
torial and won several good votes for
Democracy though the editor printed
it under the impression that it was a
Republican editorial He was in hur-
ny and didn't read the clipped editorial
through, hence the additional Democrat
ic votes.

The; Hawaiian Star says in it's issue
of Tuesday, this week, that the "new
Democratic papers thunder is very
mild" When it is considered that the
Star started prohibition campaign and
didn t have the stomach to finish it, that
its owners got cold feet, though they
pretend to be prohibitionists; and when
it is considered that the Star never came
out flat-footed about anything more i'm
portant than a milk ordinance, and that
through the gigantic and lonely support
of it's editor. it is at least amusing to
hearken to the purring of the afternoon
subterfuge when it refers to anybody
or anything being "mild"

1.-THE NINETY AND nine"

There are ninety and nine who live and
die
In hunger and want and cold
That one may revel in luxury
And be draped in it's silken fold.
And one has houses and homes and
lands
But the ninety and nine have empty
hands
They toll in the fields, these ninety and
nine.
For the fruits Of mother earth;
They delve and dive in the dusty mine
And bring hidden treasures FORTH
But the wealth released by their sturdy
blows
TO the hand of one forever flows
The ninety and nine shall yet be uplift,
OF the fruits Of their labor shall not be
stript.
Go forward with ,frmness; right wins
over wrong
Oh Ninety and Nine, this will be your
new song:
"Rejoice Rejoice from zone to zone!
For labor has found it's own!"
High Wage Lightfoot, as many call
him, appeared in public with sore eye,
perhaps having been busy looking up
the law.
"What put your eye on the bum?"
asked sympathetic friend.
"I've been reading the Bulletin edi-
torials," admitted Lightfoot
That there is honor among thieves
was never better exemplifed than in Ho-
nolulu where, in spite of differences on
other points, the Advertiser, Star and
Bulletin hang together for what they
can get out of the Republican sugar
barrel which is opened at the Judd
building every Saturday. Even fighting
pigs grub at the same trough.
If the Advertiser. Star and Bulletin
had not pledged themselves to suppress
certain truths about the maladministra-
ton of Delegate Kuhio Kalanianaole
he would never have been reelected to
that office last time. There is conspir-
acy and has for long time been a con-
spiracy on the part of the Advertiser,
Star and Bulletin to refrain from men,
tioning the fact that Secretary McClel-
Ian does all the work for which Kuhio
gets the credit. Thus are facts sup
pressed and notorious incompetent al
lowed to go to Washington under the
pretense of representing the Hawaiians,
when Kuhio couldn't represent himself
unless he had his secretary along.
