No party, clique or faction ever
proposed cleaner or more capable
and public-spirited man, says the
State-line Herald, than the North
Dakota stalwarts this year when
they name Judge Edward Engerud
as a candidate along with Senator
McCumber. The name of Judge
Engerud is guaranty of sterling
craftsmanship and the voters of
North Dakota have long since
learned to value it as of great worth.
The candidacy of Judge Engerud
this Year will be a strong factor not
only in holding intact the true re-
publicans of the state, but in bring
ing back to the party's ranks a host
of those who have allowed themselves
to be coaNed away.

J. I Wallace, a Bismarck pioneer,
died in the asvlum at Jamestown
last week. Deceased. who was ia
miliarly known as Farmer" Wal
lace, was one of the band of early
day boomers that was always loyal to
the Missouri Slope, and whose per-

early days there was no movement
in the way of an exposition or fair
in North Dakota, or an effort made
to have the Slope properly repre-
sented at agricultural functions
elsewhere, that did not enlist the en-
ergy Of Farmer" Wallace. He was
a true friend, and man who could
