The MeCumber mansion"

The Fargo Forum has taken the
trouble to find out what sort of a
mansion" it is that Senator Nc
'Cumber has in Washington, and
their Washington correspondent
writes that the house is one of
three on a fifty foot lot. On the
first floor is a small parlor and a
dining room. The kitchen is down.
stairs and there is no back yard.
On the second and third floors are
two bed rooms with store rooms
on each.
The attempt of the Thos. Mar
shall campaign bureau to lead the
people to believe that Senator Nc
Cumber is living a life of luxury
at Washington and doing little for
the interests of the people has fall
len fiat. Senator McCumber is not
"a rich man by any means, and it
mas only been through the prac.
tice of the most rigid economy that
he has been able to meet the heavy
living expense in Washington and
his accessory travelling and cam
paign expenses out of his salary as
senator. As to his looking after
the interests Of his constituents,

JUDGE ENGERUD IS
LOGICAL CANDIDATE

Toanswer that question we will
say he is the candidate Of the re-
publican party for the nomination
for the short term as senator. His
opponent. A. j. Gronna, the can
didate of the insurgents, is the
representative Of this state in the
House who voted for Cannon and
Cannon rules in the house.
When Mr.. Gronna saw that Can
non and. Cannonism were safe, and
in order to make political capital
for himself, after the votes were
announced, asked at the instance
of a Wisconsin senator to have
his vote changed, sosthat it would
appear to the prople of this state
as if he were opposed to Cannon.
Mr.. Engerud is a man who has
been tried as a public servant, and
is one who enjoys the confidence
of the people. He is in touch
with home, school, church and
public institutions. He has SER
we'd upon the supreme bench of
our state with credit to himself
and our commonwealth, and has
not been found wanting.
He is a man who has the welfare
of our state and nation at heart. a
man of high ideals, honest, able,
intelligent, and who believes in
justice, irrespective of
party utilization, and furthermore
has always been ready to answer
to duty's call when the public
welfare was in question, subvert-
ing his personal inclinations. and
desires to that for the general
He is a man we'll fitted by past
experience, education and ability

seeks. The state needs such
men to guard and further It's vel
fare. The nation needs snch men,
who believe in progress and are.
at any and all times to work
Tor the best interests Of thespeople
Mr.. Engerud is a believer in and
for the progressive policies
Of Theodore Roosevelt. His OPP
ponent, A. J.. Gronna, has no well
lefnel plan-has no political
principles except those which
enhance A. j. Gronna's personal
welfare. Compare these two:
5ronna, yacillating, shifty, self
seeking; Engerud, steadfast. pub

REPUBLICANS ARE
BEST CANDIDATES

HtlsHa- La-r--l- B.. ~.
We place the ticket presented by
the republican committee at the
head of our columns this week,
subject to the approval of the vot.
ers at the June 29th primaries. As
we have previously said, the sup
porting of any candidate, or set of
candidates, previous to the pri-
mary, by any republican paper, is
or ought to be tentative to the
choice of the voters; because the
voter or paper may be placed in
the position, as a partisans of here
after supporting a candidate who
has been previously opposed.
Hence the preliminary campaign
should be waged with tn at idea in
view and opposition or support
should be waged accordingly.
In making the choice of this
ticket, generally in preference to
the ticket presented by the PRO
gressives" We are mostly influence
ed by the fact that as to the gener-
al claims of both sides, the former
are consistent while the latter to us
seem inconsistent.
The candidates and leaders of
the insurgents were but a couple
of years since, part and parcel of
the crowd that they now say is all
bad in person and in practice-yet
on the other hand they themselves
have shown no evidence Of person.
al reformation-except to disagree
with their former associates in the
distribution Of the spoils.
That the republican leaders al
ways have been right, that they
are now right on all questions, we
do not attempt to argue. The Pr
oneer Press differs with them on
some points both in past and pres
ent procedure; but the Pioneer
Press believes in parties and par
tisanship as the only safe and sane
way of governing this country
and to have parties it is nee ,ssary
to allow the majority to rel, and
for the minority to accept such
rule, though not necessarily t.
change their private opinions.
The personnel of the republican
ticket as a whole is certainly equal
in ability and character with the
other side. In some cases, partic.
ularly in the case of senator and
representatives we believe it su.
perior.
Senator McCumb Der stands not
only as one of the foremost men in
ability in North Dakota but is the
peer of his associates on the floor
of the senate. Mr.. Engerud has
been recognized as one of the fore
most jurists of the state. Hon. l..
B. Hanna has made a splendid rec
ord as a "North Dakota man" in
the house of representatives. We
shall refer to the state ticket in
later issues.-Pembina Pioneer
Express.

SIX OUT OF TEN TO
Be NOMINATED

There is certainly no dearth O
candidates for the positions on the
supreme bench in this state. There
are an unusual number of posi-.
tions to fll-there being three va.
cancies- but there are ten men
willing to serve.
As a result of the action of the
last Legislature in increasing the
number of supreme court justices
from three to five, Governor Burke
had the appointment of two mem
bers. One term expires by limita-
ton, making three positions to
which men must be elected.
The Legislature also enacted a
non-partisan judiciary measure. 1t
seems to be very crude but its OBJ
jects were evidently to keep the
judiciary out of politics. It pro-
vides that candidates do not make
party filings. It also arranges for
the nomination at the primaries of
twice as many candidates as there
are positions to fill. As there are
three vacancies the voters at the
coming primaries will ballot for
six of the ten candidates and then
in the fall elect three of the six
they nominated.
Justice Fisk is the man whose
term expires by limitation. JUS
tees Ellsworth and Carmody are
the men appointed by Governor
Burke. All three of these are can
didates for their present positions.
Being on the bench already, they
have an advantage in publicity
and acquaintances over some Of
the other candidates - and it is
fairly safe to assume that these
three men will be among the six
candidates nominated.
If that is correct then there will
be seven other candidates for the
other three nominations. These
are US. District Attorney Rourke,
District Judges Goss, Burke and
kneeshaw aud Attorneys Cooley,
Serumgaard and Anderson.
In point Of publicity Hon. P. 81.
and the three district ind
yes will have an advantage of the
remaining three. Of the three
district Judges, Goss and Burke
have been exchanging pulpits and
have succeeded in extending their
acquaintance more than Kneeshaw.
Of the three attorneys in private
life, who seek the Judgeships, Mr..
Cooley of Grand Forks is probab-
ly best known, though Silver Ser
umgaard of Devils Lake has a wide
acquaintance. Mr. Anderson, also
Of Devils Lake, probably has the
least pubic prominence but his
friends insist that that his nation
atty will be Il beneficial factor and
offset his lack of acquaintance,
him at least an even chance
with the other candidates.
Four of these candidates, will
fail of nominations at the pri-
maries. Six are to BIZ chosen. The
Forum hopes they will be the best
half a dozen in the list. 1t will be
an easier matter in the fall to pick
the best three of six than the best
six of the ten at the primaries as
the multiplicity Of candidates
causes confusion.
In future elections, except in
case of death or designations, there
will be only one justice to elect
and the contests will be greatly
simpliied.-Fargo Forum.

ON PLENTY or THIN
BEST COMMITTEES

U0Nl VVlIllyll
Two years ago the Times sup.
ported the candidacy Of Senator
Hansbrough for reelection, among
other things on the grounds that
his long service in the senate were
an asset to which the state was en-
titled and that a new man wonld
be Handicapped because Of the alb
sence of committee prestige. The
same logic applies to the case Of
Senator McCumber. He has serv-
ed twelve years in the senate and
by hard work and diligent alpplica-
ton has secured places high up on
important committees.
At this time Senator McCumber
is chairman of the pension commit
tee and has charge of all the pen
sion legislation, not only the pri-
vate bills, but the general laws as
we'll. II is a mark of confidence
in the integrity and honesty Of
Senator McCumber that practical
ly- every private pension bill IS
passed under the unanimous con-
sent rule which principle accepts
the report of the chairman as an
absolute guide for the action Of
the senate.
Senator McCumber is ranking
member Of the committee on inter
oceanic canals which has direction
of all legislation and appropria-
tions for the great Panama canal.
The chairman of that committee is
Senator Flint of California who
has announced that he will not be
a candidate for reelection, so after
the fourth of next:March Senator
McCumber would by the rules Of
seniority by which important chair
manships are distributed, become
the chairman of that committee.
He would be the directing head Of
the committee when the work is
completed and the world promi-
hence which will be attached to
that event would be asdistinct cred
it to North Dakota.
While the place held by Senator
McCumber IN the great finance
committee was not secured until
after the retirement of Senator
Hansbrouyh who was the ranking
member, and Before the end of an
other term would have been the
chairman, his active and able work
shaping many features of the
present tariff law in which the
was particularly inter
terested, brought him into such
prominence that he be-
came one of the leaders in the tar
if debate and in the formation Of
