Grand Forks Times: 1t is rather re-
markable that the men who are most
ardently advocating party reform and
decrying bossism have been among the
greatest beneficiaries of the system
they are now denouncing. This does
not include any comment upon the
method by which the faction known
as insurgent placed their ticket in the
field. There can be no difference in
bossism because it is designated by
another name. The principle cannot

Mr. Marshall served his terms in
congress because Of the support and
influence of the stalwart faction.
Judge Laude", who is now supporting
him, says he only turned to the in

he favors political reforms fails.
1t is we'll known fact that for
years Congressman Gronna was a part
of the old party organization in the

was under the control of the same old
organ cation. 1t is a question whether
or not had he been able to foresee pub
lie opinion, he wolld not have remain
ed with the crowd with which he was
educated.

history of the state has the republi-

purely patriotic reasons secure a most
hattering testimonial at all, stages of
the game in Minot and this section of
the country. There are no longer anv
factional differences; time has demon

taken on June 29. Mr.. Johnson is MAX
