Campaign is Peculiar

Surely the 1910 primary cam.
paign in North Dakota will go
down in history as a campaign of
utter Indifference. says the Minot
Daily Reporter. 1t seems as
though there is no real enthusiasm
for any particular man for any
particular office, so far as the peo-
pie generally are Concerned. In
the United States senatorial con-
test there seems to be absolutely
nothing doing. Gronna is busy
at Washington and Tom Marshall
is busy in the eastern end of the
state sending out tons of literature
telling what an awful record Nc
Cumber has made Judge Enge-
rud is doing a little .shoeing
but don't seem to be setting the
world afra. McCumber is con-
valescing since his recent illness,
and as he is; the only man Of the
four in the senatorial fight who
can appear to advantage in public
and make a real campaign adj
dress. there is nothing doing so
far as the oh time "whoop' Ell
mp campaign is concerned. In

he would pull out Of the race and
thus relieve the complication
somewhat, but Mr.. Wilson would
not throw his friends down, and
insisted all the time that he
would not pay anything for the
stalwart endorsement and didn't
know but what he preferred to
get along without it. The stall
warts tried to force any man of
any prominence in the eastern
part Of the state to get into the
race for governor, but they all
refused to go up against the COM
plication in the west end, and af-
ter everybody else had refused,
G. A. johnson was there to grab
the endorsement which is only
half hearted.
Aside from from the close Or
ganization Of the Marshall and
Gronna combination, wherein the
two senatorial candidates have
made themselves the whole con-
sideration, the insurgents don't
seem to be doing anything.
While the campaign may ginger
up a bit in this last three weeks
before the primaries, it is too
late to put up a, ything like the
old time campaigns.
The fact Of the matter is, no
one can intelligently forecast the

result. While it is generally
conceded that McCumber is safe,
no one seems to be able to make
an intelligent guess on who the
other senatorial nominee will be.
1t is about toss-up between
Gronna and Engerud; Marshall
seems to be dead one. In old
Ward county, where Marshall re-
ceived good majority in the fall
election and much larger one in
the primaries two years ago, he
will be the low man this year.
And it is evident that he has lost
strength all over the state since
the campaign Of two years ago.
The hook worm seems to have
gotten in its work on the North
Dakota politicians; there is moth
ing Of an exciting or energetic
nature in the whole proceeding.
After all, perhaps this is best.
The people will go quietly to the
polls and vote according to their
self-educated convictions and this
may result in the best man being
chosen in every instance. If the
stalwarts win out, Alex Mckenzie
will receive all the credit; if they
lose, Jim Kennedy will get all
the discredit. If the insurgents
should win, Tom Marshall will
take the credit; if they should

recent sales OF $4,000 acres of frlar
