During the coming week we are to
have with US the delegates to two
state conventions. the Grand Army of
the Republic and the Jewellers and
Opticians. These gentlemen come from
all parts 5of the state and we should
make Especial effort to make their
stay in our city as pleasant and profit
able as possible. There Is no doubt
but that: the Commercial Club will do
their part in this regard, but the citi-
zens should not take it for. granted
that because the Commercial, Club are
interesting themselves in entertain
ing our visitors q our responsibility
ceases because it will take the united
effort Of all Of us if we entertain our
visitors as we should. There should
be an appropriate amount of decora-
ton on the day of the Grand Army
parade, and we should do everything
that we can to show our appreciation
Of the honor conferred upon us by the
visit of these people.

Martin Hoghaug, candidate for re.
election as register of deeds, is a
Ramsey county official who deserves
the unqualified support of every voter
in every precinct of the county. 1t
has seldom been our pleasure to
speak of candidate for Office with
the wholehearted approval we have for
Mr.. Hoghaug. No Ramsey county Of
fetal has ever been more attentive
to the duties of his Office, more con.
scientious in giving the public good
service for their money than Martin
A. Hoghaug. The Office of the register
OF deeds is a model of order, business.
like methods and uniform courtesy,
Any Ramsey county citizen who ever
visited the Office will testify to the
good treatment he has received there,
Ramsey county can not afford to not
reward this kind of service. It de-
serves recognition and from the tone
OF talk among voters throughout the
county we believe Mr. Hoghaug's re-
cord will receive an almost unanimous
endorsement. Mr.. Hoghaug has never
attempted to play politics while in
Office but has gone ahead doing what
the county has been paying for-his
duty. He has our hearty approval and
will get our vote.

STVER SERUMGARD.

The announcement OF the candidacy
OF Attorney Silver Serumgard of this
city for the Office of justice of the su-
preme court on the non-partizan judic-
larry ticket deserves wide and uuouali-
fed support throughout the state. Mr..
Serumgard, whose recent accident has
prevented his making the thorough
canvass Of the state which he had
intended, is an attorney who has the
unanimous endorsement of the local
bar and firm backing from a host of
prominent lawyers from every Sec
ton of North Dakota.
In education, temperament, integ-
rity, legal training and legal ability
OF high order, no attorney in the
state could bring to the bench better
qualifications. Attorney Serumgard is
graduate Of the state university of
Minnesota and the Minnesota state
law school. Not only has he become
an attorney of great legal learning,
with a rare acquaintance with and
memory for the most involved uues-
tons of law, but he, has at the same
time always shown a deep interest in
literary work and is remarkably well
versed in the literature Of the English
and Norwegian languages.
AS an attorney he has won recogni-
ton throughout the state and built I'D
a splendid law practice in this part
OF North Dakota. He has at various
times held public Offices discharging
his duties In way to win support and
recognition. AS regent of the state
university he rendered the educational
system of North Dakota .inestimable
services during the time. when that
Institution needed support very badly.
II elected to the supreme bench of
North Dakota, he will bring credit to
that body, and in the exercise of the
legal talents trained through years of
practice In the state, will render North
Dakota further substantial and worthy
service. From this section he will
receive practically unanimous vote
and the best wishes Of a host of warm
personal friends.

p. D. NORTON.

The announcement of the candidacy
of P. D. Norton, states attorney of
Adams county, for the office of Secre-
tary Of State on the republican ticket
has met with uniformly favorable
reception throughout the state. Not
only is Mr.. Norton warmly supported
by the progressive wing Of the repub-
l1can party but his strength is con-
ceded among the stalwart faction. in
whose ranks he has many friends. who
recognize his ability, integrity and
cleancut standards.
Representing as he does the vigor-
GUS younger blood OF the republican
party OF this state and having back of
him a splendid record both as states
attorney of Adams county and super
lntendent of schools in this county, he
Is the logical candidate for the repub-
leans of North Dakota to unite upon
without regard for faction or favor.
Mr.. Norton spent his boyhood in
this county, graduated from the state
university and law school, taught
school, praciced law. served as coun-
ty superintendent of Ramsey county,
states attorney Of Adams county, and
chief clerk Of the last house of re-
personalities. In all that time he
mas Shown himself absolutely fearless
In his advocacy Of square dealing and
has the reputation through the state
OF not being afraid Of political cars of
any variety discovered up to date. His
election to the Office OF secretary Of
state for North Dakota will give the
republican party a strong political
asset and the state sterling public
oflcer. For his candidacy We be-

John Mclean has announced HIM
self as a candidate for the Office of
sheriff subject to the decision of the
republicans at the primaries June goth.
Mr.. Mclean promises If elected to
give the people of Ramsey county a.
good, clean, economical, business ad-
ministration. Mr.. Mclean has a
broad acquaintance over the county,
and has staunch supporters In every
part thereof, who have pledged him
their support, and will make a. siren
uous effort to see that he is nomin-
ated by a big majority. Mr.. Mclean
was the incumbent of this Office for
one term, being defeated four years
ago by Mr. Belford, at the time there
was a,general slump In the republican
ranks and an off year, the democrats
centering their fire on few Offices
and CARRYING them along with the
election Of the governor from this city.
Mr.. McLean's friends contend that he
is entitled to another term in the
office, as 1t is always customary for
an official to have two terms, This
contention seems reasonable and is
being quite generally conceded
throughout the county. .@.% %z*s r. J.:

peatedly stated his position squarely
in favor Of admitting the two states
as they desire to be admitted, namely
as separate states. He has fought for
this consistently from the day Of his
inauguration and we believe the re-
publican party in the senate is big
enough and broad enough to give JUS
tice to both territories.
On the question of the tariff a few
facts will clear up many of the wild
statements of the Journal and its CO.
howlers against the present tariff law.
The tariff law on the statute books
today is not perfect. 1t needs to be
changed. 1t needs certain reductions.
It did not meet the approval of Taft.
But these facts can not disproye the
fact that the present bill is the
best bill the country has seen for
twenty years. Granted that certain
duties need to be reduced. Remember
that no tariff bill was ever framed
that did not need to be changed. Under
the present law we are prospecting,
not in sham way at the expense of
the life blood of the people, but legi-
t1mately and enormously. The evil
dences of this are on every hand.
Moreover, the greatest advocate for
the only possible means of giving the
county an equitable tariff, tariff
board, or commission, is President
Taft and with this board at work on
the question We will have the greatest
advance in scientific tariff making
that the world has ever seen. Why,
If the tariff is so terrible, was it such
as to draw support from the entire
democratic party on the very mea-
sures of which the Journal complains
so bitterly? Why did not the demo-
cratic party put through legislation
for tariff commission when the
democrats controlled the House? Let
Brother Bloom answer these questions
ana consistently attack the administra-
ton if he can.
The democratic campaign is a cam
paign Of untruth and Justification, of
SLY Misrepresentation, OF misconstru-
Ing and coloring the motives, methods,
and means Of the republican party
in congress. 1t is the old, old means
of attacking the person or party which
is actually doing things, which is going
ahead and getting results. Let the
voter consider these things, let him
remember democratic inconsistency
democratic calamity bowling and last
but not least that never ending, never
ceasing democratic itch for a chance
to put democratic hoofs in the public
trough. These last few things ex-
plain most of the democratic editorials.

The candidacy of Charles M. Cooley,
of Grand Forks, for supreme court
judge, is meeting with most favorable
consideration throughout the state,
and there Is little room for doubt but
that he will be one Of the three Sc
lected by the voters Of the state at the
coming primary. He Is a man emf
nently fitted IN every way for this
responsible position. and is receiving
the very best Of endorsement espec-
tally among the members Of the bar Of
the state. He Is a man of recognized
ability and Of the very highest stand
ard of integrity, and a vote for Mr..
Cooley is a vote well placed for SUI
preme Judge.

Only two days after Rudolph Spreck-
les in Chicago announced that a ma
tion-wide campaign against graft and
for higher business and political stand
ards had been undertaken, John LAM
bert, capitalist at Joliet, pointed out
that many people and the public in
general had become unbalanced on the
subject Of graft and rascality He fail
ed however to concede that the graft
in legislatures, councils and other
places had been the outgrowth of cor
porate greed, which gained advant-
ages by, corrupting legislatures, city
councils and employees of competitors,
as has become the too common prac-
tice throughout the United States. Mr..
Spreckles, the millionaire reformer of
San Francisco, whose financial back
ing brought success to the crusade
Of Francis J. Heney, said Of the pro-
posed campaign: when one sees on
every hand the most barefaced disre-
gard Of the peoples rights. the pur-
chase Of high places through bribery,
dishonest manipulation Of the courts
and lawmaking bodies, the shameless
and almost open scorn in which JUS.
uce is held, one cannot help but see
that we are inviting disaster. The ma
ton at heart is honest, but apparently
blind and Indifferent, II allowed to
go too far, the awakening would mean
revolt. I have been in business since
was II and I know the methods en-
ployed. Honest competition is rari-
ty today. As in politics and legisla-
ton, business has taken to corruption
in matters of trade and industry. EN-
ployes of rival concerns are bought
up to reveal the business secrets which
the competitor is not entitled to. Why
the men involved in such practices
cannot see that they must suffer in the
end and those who are most guilty
must suffer most, I cannot UNDER
stand. and that !, Is why I, as one Of
that class which Is most largely to
blame for existing conditions, have de-
cided to do my part toward bringing
about a remedy. Between corruption

corruption in the ranks of labor, the

Bernt Anderson of Churchs berry
has announced himself as candidate
for reelection to the Office of repre-
sentative in the legislature from Ram
sey county subject to the republican
primaries. Mr.. Anderson has been a
representative from this county for
two terms past and has in the past
and is in position to in the. future
do much good for his constituency
and the state in the halls of the legis-
lature. This is a position wherein
previous experience is a great help to
the best results of an official, and as
Mr.. Anderson is the only candidate for
reelection of the three sent from
Ramsey county two years ago. it
would seem that he would be a very
logical man to act as one Of our rep
resentatives during the coming term.
Then again Mr.. Anderson Is the only
Scandinavian among the list of can
didates. While we do not wish to be
understood as favoring national pre-
JUDGES in America, still there is a
large percentage Of Scandinavlans
among the personnel of the residents
OF the county and it is no more than
proper that they should have one of
the candidates for this position espe-
cially as the man is we'll equipped in
every other way. We predict for Mr..
Anderson large vote June 29th, and
II nominated and elected we feel that
the people of Ramsey county have
made no mistake in their selection.

The following from the press of the
state show the way his candidacy has
been received: %r% @
The Souris Messenger: Mr.. Norton
comes before the people-not as a
creation of any elimination committee
or Merchants Hotel court of injustice,
but as a candidate of the people of the
Missouri slope, seeking recognition at
the hands of the voting public of the
state at large at the June primaries.
There is not a man In the state to.
day better qualified for the Office Of
Secretary of State than Mr.. Norton.
He is splendidly educated, being a
Bachelor Of Arts of the State Univer-
sity and a law graduate from the same
institution. He is young, vigorous,
possessing leonine courage and re-
doubtable character; republican I'M
defiled Of the simon-pure type Of
Roosevelt Three years ago, when the
county Of Adams was organized, Mr..
Norton was appointed its first states
attorney which Office he still holds.
At that time, the so-called slope coun-
try was noted far and wide for it's
laWlessnes. Every city and hamlet
teemed with law violators, especially
blind piggers, and gamblers with an
occasional horse and cattle thief
thrown In. This was the element this
young attorney had to contend with.
but it did not take him long to shape
his course. No sooner had he taken
the oath Of Office than he was up and
at them. He smote the Philistines hip
and thigh, and when the storm cleared
every law violator was either in the
tolls or hitting the high spots for
regions where climatic conditions
were favorable Officials Of other
trans-Missouri counties have taken
pattern after Mr.. Norton and have
been so successful that today the Slope
country is no longer looked upon as a
camping ground for the vile, but as
country reformed. This then is the
result of three years work of one
candidate who now solicits your SUD-
port at the polls in June. Is it worth
considering? A vote for Pat Norton
Is a vote for more efficient state
government, lest you forget.
Dickinson Recorder: P. D. Norton.
the versatile states attorney Of Adams
county was business visitor in the
city the last Of the week and while
here called at the Recorder Office and
informed US that he is a candidate for
the office of secretary Of state; also
that while he is known as an insur-
