But all is changed, thru the action

THEY SLIPPED A
COG SOMEWHERE;
The Democrats and the Progress.
ives are Both Working Against
the Primary Election Law.

Much has been touted about
boss rule in this state. The peo-
pie who have made the most over
it have shown how sincere their
utterances have been by constitut-
ing themselves a committee of
''elimination" and put their ticket
in the field for the progressive or
insurgent voters to walk up to the
primaries and vote for. This is
an elimination (?) Of boss rule,
indeed. This is the "holier than
thou" kind of politics that the
Marshall, Gronna, etc, contingent
are trying to push it down the
throats of the voters of North Da-
kota.
Even in the days when it was
said Mckenzie held sway and was
the big boss, there was never any,
thing like this. Then to go fur
ther, these men who claim that
they arc the representatives of the
progressive people of North Da-
kota, have tried and are trying to
become the bosses of the republi-
can party in this state. And each
one who into the "holy alliance"
has been admitted has been feed
ing at the public trough or has the
Office itch.
There is also a feature that is
strikingly progressive. Each of
the progressives or insurgents will
claim that the primary was insti-
tuted so that each man could re-
gister his vote for whomsoever he
chose. 1t is obvious that the dem i.
ocrats have held their convention
and put a ticket in the field. The
insurgents have done likewise
And the stalwarts, who are credit
ed with opposition to the primary
law is the only faction in the
state which has not put a ticket in
the field. It looks little bit as if
the people who claim they stand
for progressiveness and the pri-
mary law have slipped a cog some-
where.-Wheatland News.

Judge Engerud Meet

He Presents Some Facts That Every Voter Should

Judge Engerud Of Fargo, who is
a candidate on the republican tick
ct for U. S. senator, was visitor
in Bowman on Thursday of last
week, and on that evening address
ed a good sized audience at the
hall. To those who were interest
ed in the reasons why there are
two factions in the republican par
ty Of North Dakota, the address was
interesting and instructive, but to
those who went to the hall for an
evenings entertainment, as they
would to see minstrel show, it
was undoubtedly a disappointment.
Judge Engerud has never posed as
an orator, and his record on the
supreme bench of this state was
not made by talking, but by doing
what he believed to be right. He
presents set of facts, however, in
"a convincing manner, and these
facts are something that every vo.

most part, we have come here from

A FEW ARE DC
TATING FOR ALL
They Constitute the "New Gang"
and are Busy Before the Pri-
maries Telling 'em How.

Walhalla Mountaineer: "Who
shall, 1 vote for-which are the
best men on the republican pri-
mary ballot? How can l make a
choice of men on the state ticket
men who are not known generally
and Of whom l have no way of
obtaining any information?'
This question is confronting
thousands of voters in North Da-
kota today and is the direct result
of the primary election law that
was fought for SO presistently un-
der the guise of letting the people
select their candidates instead of
naming them at nominating con-
ventions. The answer to the
question is a hard one and one
which none but the leaders of the
factions will attempt to answer,
unless it is some blind follower
who votes-not as he should, but
as he is told to. The fact that un-
der the convention system the
candidates were chosen by dele
gates who met with and talked of
possible candidates and who were
interested party workers to the
extent that they would vote for no
man on the ticket that would not
be true to his office and give
strength to the ticket, gave to the
public at large an intelligent idea
that the candidate was man
worthy of the place he was seek
ing. Under our present system
any man who can get few sigma
lures to petition can get on the
ticket, but unless he is standing
i'm with his particular faction he
cannot get their support, and the
eliminating committee sends out
word that he is an undesirable
citizen and should not have the
place. Which is the most honest
and intelligent way of making the
choice? Are the people nominat-
ing their choice as much as they
did under the convention system?
Can the poor man get the nomi-
nation for state Office? Are the
people making a choice or are
they led by party prejudice, more
then ever, into voting with the
"gang'-the new one? Is it not
true that Winship, Helgeson,
Tom Marshall and few of the old
"gang" which now constitute the
new ''gang" are picking out the
men and debating to their follow
ers whom they shall support? Mr..
anti-gang progressive, think it
over and see If this is not true.

Fort Dodge, Sept 12.-Sunday morn
ing about $50, when less than a mile
from home, Engineer Pat Kinney OF
tho MINNEAPOLIS & st. Louis, met death
when his train crashed into an Illinois
Central switch engine which was
blocking the main line near the bridge
over the Des Noines river, just west
of this city,. Fireman Smith jumped
and had both arms broken. The wreck
resulted from failure Of the block sig
nal.
The accident happened on a sharp
curve and Engineer Kinney was unable
to see the approaching switch engine
until he was almost upon the same.
Shutting down his engine he leaped
from his side Of the cab, lost his foot
ing and fell, and the next instant a
box car shot out from the train and
crushed out his life without a seconds
warning. Four box cars and the NJ. &
St l.. engine were derailed. blocking
the line for about four hours.
Second Accident Occurs.
The Illinois Central wfecker was i'm
mediateIy brought to the scene OF the
accident and while clearing up the
wreck so as to allow the passage OF
number of stock trains which had ar
rived from the west, second, and
what for time appeared to be a more
serious accident, happened. AS a pair
of trucks from one of the wrecked cars
was picked up it swung with a pendu-
lum motion, with the result the wreck
er toppled over. Standing close to the
track at the time of the accident We're
a large number of people, while in the
wrecker were no less than five en-
ployes. With a cry the crowd swept
back and while from the first it was
evident all had escaped being brushed
to death by hairs breadth, it was be-
lieved some of the men on the car had
met death, or least stood in danger
of being seriously scalded, but miracu-
Ious as it may seem not one person was
seriously injured.

noticing a little child standing in the
very jaws of death he sprang forward,
lifted the little one, tossed it back safe
from harm, almost at the cost Of his
own life, the car falling forward, the
top just grazing his left arm, tearing
his shirt and the tin from the roof just
scratching the skin.
