Reporter took in this fight and why it took 1t.

influence Of that paper home, but what effect
the editorials may have had in ether parts Of the
state. The papers supporting Burke copied the
editorials from the Reporter and he fact that
Minot paper was running down home had
it's effect upon the voters who read them, and who
did not understand the motive THAT prompted
them. Perhaps Clark is chuckling up his sleeve
and feeling good his revenge, but this viii

AFTER THE BATTLE.

The election is over, and what say
corning it, will do good now except in
ming up the situation face it with
view OF what may be done in the future.
c. A. Johnson, candidate for governor, de-
feated by about 100 votes. Burkes majority
about 100 less than it two years ago.
The Republicans put up the hardest fight in the
history of the state, and while they succeeded in
eleclng I'VE congressman, and electing a Repub-
lican LEGISLATURE when viii two Republic
can United States senators, they could elect
the head of their state ticket lnsurgenl leaders
and StaIwart leaders united and supported the
straight ticket Never before the leaders
determined, but the showed a certain
Independence in the voting that bears little sem
DIance the voting of days gone BY The aver
age citizen days is influenced by what he
reads, only he gains certain information that
he may draw his conclusions. You can't
tell John sn'i'i1 how to now days, unless you
convinc" him that he is voting for his best
interest," lnd again. John Smith doesn't vote the
Republican ticket 'Ecse times, because his grand
father and father voted that ticket
There good reason why every voter
could not have voted the Republican ticket in this
it thai way. Burk" had one advantage, and that
that he is campaigner far above the ordi-
nary.
"Honest John as he likes to be called, is a good
speaker and its easy for him get up before

tell them all above the conservation of our natural
resources. atd satisfy his hearers too as it is for
Joe !'eTi"' to tall about the greatness Of Abra-

ernor always selects poular subject, upon
which there absolutely contradictory argu
ment, be his hearers Republicans Socialists
Democrats Roosevelt rians.
And the Governor is a good organizer lie has
built up mighty strong Democratic machine
within the state during the past four years. You
can't blame the Democrats for that. If We were
democrat, we'd try to do the same thing And
we'd reward the Democrats just as Governor
Burke is doing, giving tnem all the best appoin-
tive, paying offices, and letting the Republicans
accept the trusteeships of Of schools.
II the Republican voters satisfied with this
arrangement, the Democrats should have no COM
plants make.
Burke three times has been elected governor.
The chances are that he will ask for this
honor again. He may be looking for something
better. 1t is reported that he may be selected as
the Democratic candidate for Vice President or
President. The chances are that some Re-
publican will be selected governor two years from
now. Thai depends of course whether Alex
Mckenzie is in the land of the living not, for
Aleck might hunting wild game in Africa at
the time of election two years hence and many
Republican voters would suspect that he boss
ing the affairs Of the republican party of the state
You couldn't make the voters believe that the big
fellow wouldn't dictate to the candidate the repub-
cans select.

ELECTION IN OTHER STATES.

The republicans have elected Eber-
hart governor of Minnesota with 1000
majority. Judge Simpson is elected
to the supreme bench with a small
margin. Anderson, who beat Con-
gresham Tawney in the primaries,
defeated the Democratic opponent.
Haynes was reelected mayor Of
Minneapolis with only "a votes to the

have a majority in the state legisla-
ture and New York will elect demo-
cratic United States senator to fill De-
pew's place. Dix won with about
100000 majority. Roosevelt's man was
defeated at Oyster Bay.
The Democrats have swept Indiana,
and Senator Beveridge will not bs

dorsed John w. Kern, who no doubt
will be the next Senator from that
state.
In Iowa great Democratic gains
were made. There are now twice as
many Democratic Congressman as be-

were all but wiped out. Gov. Carroll
is reported as having a plurality OF
$1,000.
Washing! IN went Republican elect
ing two progressive and one stalwart
congressman.
Gov. Harmon, Democrat, was re-
elected governor Of Ohio with an in

elected at least IL of the 81 congress-

Ninot is proud of Judge Coss. His career in
the Judiciary Of the state has been quite remark
able. He was twice elected Judge of the Eighth
Judicial district, which position he has held in
way to cause him to be very popular not only in
this district, but throughout the state as we'll He
has been elected to the Supreme bench. Judge
Goss is still a young man, and apparently he has
many years of usefulness before him.

OUR PRIMARY ELECTION LAW,

1t has been shown concusively this year that
North Dakoa's primary election law is farce Of
the sort. Twice has C. A. Johnson been
nominated by a majority Of the Republican voters
of the state and twice has he been defeated. Party
lines apparently have vanished and party organ
cations count fer little. Our voters have declared
by their actions that they not willing to abide
by the will the the majority Even nominees on
the state ticket stu1nped the for the head of
the Democratic state ticket, after having received
favors from the party. Defeated candidates have
declared that they would abide by the will of
the majority, and then turned their coats in a
night; Aaker for instance. In Buchanans home
county Johnson was showed under by tremend-
GUS for Burke. Well admit that Johnson was
a stawart candidate, but how would the rank and
file of the insurgent republican voters feel if two
years from they nominate candidate, and
he be turned down as has Mr.. Johnson? We
wouldn't like to see it, but precedent has been
established. and there is telling what the aver
age voter will do.

MARYLAND 8 Commission.

The Maryland Legislature did something more
than an enact a law to disfranchse the negro. 1t
passed the Public Utilities bill creating COM
mission similar to the corporation commission OF
Virginia whose business will be to regulate public
service corporations.
T. This measure has been d bone of contention
throughout long period of time and caused much
disagreement within the Democratic ranks, but
Governor Crothers and Attorney General Straps
both gave the bill their hearty support and it won
out by substantial majority.
The Governor in commenting the passage OF
the bill we'll says that the success of the taw de-
uends upon the administration of it and the char
acter of the commission. He gives assurance that
he will select for the commission, which will be
charged with the delicate powers conferred by the
law, men of ability and unimpeachable integrity,
with minds broad enough to grasp and deal with
the questions that will come before them.
If he will keep this promise the law will be a
success, benefit to the public without working
hardship upon the corporations That has been
the experience of Virginia with her Corporation
Commission and the corporations themselves would
not have the commission abolished if they could.
But Virginia has been exceedingly fortunate In
securing the services Of men thoroughly qualified
to perform the functions of the commission.

Our State
Contemporaries

A bill has been offered In the House
by Congressman Slayden. OF Texas.
which should speedily be made a law.
IL provides that any ofilcer or tne
United States Army whe shall be con-
victed OF felony shall be automati-
cally dropped from the service. as In
the case of desertfon or dismissal ar
ter court martial. The Newport News
Daily Press says of the bill:
AT present there As no statute or
army regulation dealing with the situ-
alton which arises when an officer
OF the army Is convicted OF a crime
In the civil courts. When an officer
lis arrested and sent to prison by civil
authorities he merely is absent from
duty without leave, the War Depart
ment taking no official notice of what
happens in the civil courts. And I'M
less the prisoner is tried by court
martial. which probably could not be
done under the circumstances, his name
must remain on the list of officers.
"A practical illustration OF the ne
cessity for such a measure as the one
introduced by Mr.. Slayden Is found
in the case OF Captain Peter j. Hams.
who is now serving a term OF ten
years in the Federal prison at Atlanta.
Ca. for killing William e. Annis at
the Bayside Yacht Club. Long Island.
two years ago. Although Hams Is
convicted murderer and will be behind
the bars until 1918. he still Is an
officer of the United States Army and
his name appears in it's regular place
with that of his brother officers In
the register. This Is an tntoierable
situation, and II Is surprising that the
steps necessary to make il impossible
were-not taken long age" -
