HON. GRANT p. HALL

We, the repuDllcanS OF the Eighth
senatorial district, in delegate con-
ventiOn assembled, cordially endorse
the administration of President Will
liam Howard Taft in the enforce
ment Of the laws against trusts and
monopOlieS as eXemplified by the
rigid prosecution Of the sugar trust
frauds and his course in preventing
an increase in railroad rates, the
burden of which would ultimately
fall upon the consumer, and his
many other acts in the promotion Of
the public welfare; and We commend
the splendid work OF the Sixty-f first
congress in the passage of the rate
bill for the better regulation and
control Of railroads and other public
service corporations; the establish
ment OF the postal savings banks;

yet it is an improvement on previous
laws Of the kind and especially be-
cause 1t provides for tariff commis-
sion whereby future rcyiSiOns of the
tariff will more likely he based on
scientific and better protective prin-
ciples.
State Administration.
We earnestly indOrse, also, the adj
miniStratiOn of Governor William f..
Glasscock. who has labored assidu-
ously for the benefit OF the whole
upright life, Of the strictrst intpg-
rity Of character. a hater Of wrong
and injustice and a lover Of truth
and justice, and one in whose keep
ing the interests Of the people are
safe. All the great departments; Of
our state government have been con-
Quoted with efficiency ana with lidcl,
tty TO the public interests. ---------
Economy in Government.
We believe in an efficient govern
ment, ono conducted for the public
welfare, We are opposed to waste
or extravaganza in the conduct Of
the government, and therefore We
condemn the practices Of many years
standing, Of the employment by the
OF clerks and other attaches, and Of
the gratuitiCs given them in the
way Of increasing their Etompensa-
ton at the end Of the sessions by
resolutions. 1T is an evil practice
which has been INDUCED in BY both
OF the great political parties Of this
State and ought to be stopped. The
number and compensation Of all sen
ployes of the legislature should be
fixed by law and the Legislature
ought not to violate the law. We
js'atnre in reducing the number OF
attaches and in refusing to pay them
additional compensation ut the end
Of the session
We believe in economy in the con,
duct Of our government, but not tt
the extent that our great and grow
ing educational institutions wOult
be crippled, our splendid free schoo
system Impaired, or our Dependent
wards In our charitable institutions
neglected.

increase IN population and in the adj
ditions to the capacity and better
equipment of the old State institu-
ItiOns and the creation of necessary
now ones; and because the total eX-
pcnditures from the State fund in
1908, as shown by the last published
report Of the State auditor, after
deducting the amounts paid for re-
funding taxes to counties, districts
and municipalities and erroneous
payments into the treasury, were
only 4.2o Of l per cent of the total
assessed valuation of the property Of
said year, and the expenditures from
the State fund after making similar
deuctions for the year 1895, the last
deductions for the year 1896, the last
were SIS Of per cent of said total
assessed valuation for that year, or
twice the percentage that obtained
under republican administration.
The levy for State and State school
purposes under republican admins
tratiOn has been reduced from 80
icents in 1896 to cents in 1908,
and nearly or quite all of the net
proceeds Of the levy Of cents go
into the school fund and is distri-
buted back to the people. This ex-
cellent result has been made possible
because OF largely increased reve-
1ues obtained from license taxes
on corporations, the taxes on collat-
eral inheritances, the fees of public
officers which in democratic times
| went into the OffiCehOlders' pockets,
but now into the public treasury,
land from sources other than from
direct levy.
Our Taxation Laws
We favor such amendments to our
taxation laws as will make the bur
denS Of taxation still more equal
and Just, curing such defects as ex-
peri"ncc has shown to exist in our
SYSTEM of public revenue.
Primary Election Law.
We favor the enactment Of a
! primary election law which will
} give to -eYerX voter of every nO]itical
party an equal voice in the nomina-
ton Of party candidates, including
ithe Office Of United States senator.
and Of such amendments to our
election laws as will give the voter
one free, untrammeled vote in every
election, and insure the counting Of
that vote az cast. and that will pre-
vent all fraud and the lavish and
corrupt use Of money in the nomina-
ton and election Of AZ public Off
GERS.
Disfrancl,isement.
| We condemn The plank in the last
platform Of the democratic party Of
N" State, which binds the demo-
Itratic members Of the legislature to
enact law which would disfran-
cmSe large body Of our fellow citi-
zons. We believe in the equality OF

rhe big wrestling match at the
opera house Tuesday evening drew
a large crowd, which was given a
pretty good run for its money.
F. Jahnes, the man who threw
War Eage at Dickinson twice in
five minutes, was on the card to
throw G. A. Gilbertson, the local
mat artist, twice in thirty min
utes, and he did it, too. with
plenty of time to spare. In
weight and everything else he had
the local man clearly outclassed,
securing the first fall in seven
minutes and the second in two
minutes.
The match between Powers and
Hallberg. the Terrible Swede. -
was evidently a frame-up, the
latter getting his money before
going onto the mat. He displayed
terrific strength. tossing Powers
around like a toy, but allowed
Powers to pin his shoulders to the
mat and lose q lot Of money fol

Betting on both events was fre.

A CUNNING OLD RAT.
He Mastered the Trap That Was Set
to Ensnare Him.

He Mastered the Trap That Was Set
to Ensnare Him.
Not long ago it became problem
in a Brooklyn hotel how to keep
down the population Of rats, which
had become SO bold that they stole
from under tho very noses of the
cooks. Traps and poisons were sue
ccssfuI at first, but after few
deaths tlc wary rats avoided both.
Tho ratcatchcr WAS then called in,
and cats, dogs and fcrrcts had their
turn, but still the rats increased.
The steward baggcd a few with a
small rife, but the rats soon grew
too cautious for him. About all he
could see was the tip OF a tail or two
bright eyes that disappeared us soon
as he raised his gun. Then lie hit
upon another idea He swung lid
on a barrel with a swivel, filled the
barrel half full Of water and fas-
tened a lump Of cheese in the center
Of the lid. As soon as a rat alighted
on either side Of the lid, over he
would go into the barrel, and for a
while rats were drowned by the
dozen.
1t was at this juncturc that the
rodents evidently held a council, for
the number of victims grew steadily
smaller. Sometimes in the morning
there would be two or three rats in
the barrel, oftcncr there were none
at all. The obscrvant steward felt
that they were all the time trying
to figure out how to get that cheese.
Sometimes two rats would get on
the edge of the barrel, opposite one
another, at the same time and bal
ancc the liz! as they crcpt toward
tho center. This worked we'll until
one or the other forgot the need
for caution, when both fell in.
Finally one old rat mastered the
game. For several nights the cheese
disappeared, and there was no rat
there in the morning to show for it.
One night the steward caught the
rat in the act of dropping from
some pipes right in the center Of
the lid. He balanced himself for a
moment, then quietly nibbled at the
cheese. When he had satisfied his
hunger he carefully moved of
along the line of the swivel and
dropped to the floor safe.
At this point tho steward ac-
knowledgcd defeat. He declared
that the man who was smart enoug h
to- defeat those rats was smart
enough to do anything.--New York

BACK JOHNSON
Citizens Of His Home City Pay Re-
markab|e Tribute to His Business
Qualifications and Integrity

Minot, Nov. lone of the
greatest testimonials of esteem
and faith ever accorded man Tor
public office has been rendered
Hon. C. A. johnson, the republi-
can nominee for governor. In the
space of few short hours prac-
tically every business man in
Minot had affixed his name to
roll which will not only be
treasured by Mr.. johnson as one
of the rare things of life that
appeals to every man because
of its sincerity, but goes to show
that the sentiment in his home
city is irrevocably in favor of his
election.
For many years Mr.. johnson
has given time, labor and money
to the development of Minot and
northwestern North Dakota. Hav-
ing built beautiful home in this
city for those he has cherished
and loved, he has naturally en-
deavored to make it as good a
city to live in as possible. Like
all men, however, who have
taken deep interest in the
public welfare, he has on certain
occasions taken a firm stand, and
has naturally made enemies.
These enemies have in every way
endeavored to get even and have
used every means to spread
stories over the state derogatory
to Mr.. Johnson's character, and
create the impression that he is
without honor in his home coun.
ty." Believing that the time
had arrived to show their real
feelings relative to Mr.. Johnson
and his candidacy and demon.

MADE IMPOR-
TANT CAPTURE
Dawson County Burglars Appre-
hended Here. Their Swag
in Lining Of Jail

Acting on information furnished
by the sheriff of Dawson county,
the local officers arrested Roy and
Noah Haney at the depot at an
early hour Tuesday morning and
placed them in the jug. The
young men were wanted for the
crime of burglary committed at a
farm house near Glendive. That
they were the right parties there
is little doubt, as some of the
jewelry which was taken from the
house was found behind the sheet
iron lining of the cell after they
were incarcerated. They took
their arrest lightly, and showed
all the money they had, thirty-fve
cents. out through the bars to
Chief Patrick to invest in choco-
late candy for them. One of the
brothers were employed by Wood
ward Bros. for a time last sum-
mer and is now suspected Of be.
ing the party who "went
through" their store one night.
At any rate, it was some one who
was acquainted with the premises.
Sheriff johnson came down from
Glendive Tuesday morning and
took the prisoners back with him
in the evening. It will probably
20 hard with them.
