republican voter, and according to re-
ports made at the recent meeting at
Bismarck by the committeeman from
various parts of the state, this is the
way republicans generally are looking
at the situation this year.
Insurgents and stalwarts are eouar-

as big a republican victory as pos

in the campaign. Both factions are

The situation is entirely different
from what it was two or fou- wears
ago. Four years ago Governor Sarles
was defeated as a result of a bitter
fractional fight in the republican party.
and even then the victory of Burke
was by no means overwhelming.
Burke, during his first term, gave

during his second term, except APP
point a democrat of the reactionary
and corporation type as United States
senator, is asking for third term. AS
democrat he is asking for a special
FAVOR from the republicans of the
state. If he had any record of pro-
gressive policies on which to base ais
claim, his request might be given
some consideration, but with his in
ane, insipid, wishy- washy administra-

self to the voters of the state. The
republicans, on the other hand. have
nominated in a primary election, in
which the viii of the people was ex.
pressed without interference, a clean
cut man who is pledged to the pro-
gressive policies of Roosevelt and
Taft and his election by an over
Whelming majority seems assured.

Paris, May liking Edwards death
causes deep and sincere sorrow through
France. Genuine sympathy is expressed
by every political party, ranging from
the Royal and Clerical Eeaction to the
Extreme Socialists Of the Jaures type.
The Prime Minister, NJ BRAND with

and ccnfidentially during his brief visit
here early in March when on his way 10

great friend, whose personal sympathy
and real understanding OF the French
people and their institutions were not
surpassed by any one not actually born
on French soil.
King Edward was never regarded by
Parisians as a foreigner. but as one of
themselves. He spoke French with the
fuency and esprit OF q Partisan. without
q trace Of foreign accent. Edouard D6-
tailIe. the painter of military subjects,
was a close friend Of the late King, who
passed over an hour in his studio last
March, when Detaille showed his
majesty his large picture commemorate
ing the presentation of the colors 10 the
British territorial regiments.
The British sovereign never forgot the
friends of his earlier days. when, as
Prince Of Wales. he SO often visited
Paris. Among these is James Gordon
Bennett. who is now on his way back
here after a voyage TO Ceylon. King
Edward was q frequent guest on Mr..
Benefits yacht and at his country place
at Bougival, near Paris, where they used
to go often on Mr.. Benefits river yacht
in the genial days when the late ruler
was Prince Of Wales.
The King always had great friend
ship for Nine Waddington, nee King, Of
New York. dating from the time when
her husband was the French Ambassa-
dor in London and afterward Prime
Minister of France. This trait in the
Kings character was exemplified during
his recent three days stay in Paris.
Shortly before leaving London for the
Continent the King sent word 10 Nine
Waddington, asking her TO name day
when he might call and take luncheon
with her So. on Tuesday, March s. the
