is an enviable one; nothing but praise

Fixing Railroad Rates.

People who long to e a fight to a
finish between the government and
the railroads have grounds for disap-
pointment over the recent agreement
between the White House and the rail-
way presidents. The agreement has
been called a truce. but hostilities will
not be resumed very SOC IL the rail-
way authorities proceed In the matter
Of rates with ordinary business sense.
The roads were asked to wait and
see what the amendments to the in.

them. 1t is proposed to leave the fix-
ing of reasonable rates with the roads
The commission may suspend any
changes in rates until satisfied of their
reas0nableness. and in due time 1t will
become clear to the roads just what
rates the commission will approve and
what not This will lessen the causes

Not the Popular One

The Devils Lake journal has
the following comment to make
about the candidacy of Marshall:
Thomas F. Marshall was in Devils
Lake this week trying to size up
the bat Ramsey county will hand
him at the primary election.
Thomas talks very much like a
man running for township super
visor. For instance he says he is
sure of being elected, that he can
win out Ramsey, easy enough, but
since there is no longer any ques-
ton of his election he would like
to have some one here upon whom
he could depend to make recon-
mendations for postmasters, etc.
The truth of the matter is that
Thos. +. Marshall will be beaten
worse this year than he was
two years ago. He is not only
weaker in Ramsey county than he
was two years ago, but he is
weaker in every county in the
state.
This is the report disinterested
travelling men who have been all
over the state tell, and it is the
report the state press, and the
business men of the state tell.
The people of the state simply
have no time for a man who is as
anxious to get an Office as Thom-
as seems to be.
MIR. Marshall left Devils Lake
without being able to find anyone
who would undertake the job of
distributing his patronage-that
he will never have to distribute.

Must Have Money

Marshall and Gronna are said to
be paying all of the political ex-
penses of several of the eliminator
bunch whose announcements and
pictures are now being printed in
some Of the state newspapers says
the Emmons County Record. And
when you read the list Of names
on the freeze-out ticket don't for
get the manner in which the pos
SCISSORS of the names got before the
public. The ar-chamber gathering
which placed them in nominating
represented nobody butthemselves.
There were twenty-one of them in
the elimination bunch. The Hazel
ton Republican says that every
body was invited. That statement
is utterly without any foundation
in fact. Some counties had sever
al persons present; other counties
had none. They were there pri-
marily in the interest of Grouna
and Marshall, and mighty good
care was taken that no one-even
were he a good insurgent-was
asked to attend if he were not very
friendly to S and S. The fact is
indisputable that the entire elimi-
nation ticket was chosen with a
view 70 strengthening the two
worthless who suddenly insurged
because the regular republican or
ganization wouldn't turn down alb
Ter men and make them United
States senators. What voice did
Emmons county have in choosing
the freeze-out ticket? None what
ever. Does anyone know the name
of the Emmons county man or men
who were present and helped to
form the ticket? Does anyone even
know whether there was an EN-
mons county man there? Now this
is the bunch that comes before the
republicans of this state asking for
their support. Contrary to the very
spirit of the primary law, under
which each aspirant is supposed
to stand for Office on his individ.
ual ability and record, these men
have banded together for the pur-
pose of boosting one another into
Office. If you believe such action
unwarranted, cut the freeze-out list
from some paper that prints it.
take it with you when you go into
the primary booth, and do not vote
for a single man whose name ap.
pears on that list. For every state
