WILL WORK TOGETh.
Err FOR THE ENTIRE TICKET

Harmony reigns supreme in the
ranks OF the republican party. What
little differences there were between
the regulars and tn progrssives of the
stat, were wiped out for the present
at least at the meeting of the state
committeeman at Bismarck last
Thursday.
Senator Frank Talcott of Buffalo, a
stalwart, was elected chairman, and
Jos. M. Devine OF Minot, progress
sive, secretary; E. G. Wanner of Val
ley City, is treasurer, md Bismarck
was chosen as campaign headquar-
ters.
The executive committee consists
of the following:
David Bartlett, Cooperstown.
J. A. Buchanan, Buchanan.
]. D. Bacon, Grand Forks.
J. F. Callahan, Casselton.
P. J.. McClory, Devils Lake.
J. T. Shea, Wahpeton.
Josephp Roach, Minot.
]. A. Johnson, Bottineau.
J. G. Quinlav1n.
o. T. Rishofr, Wilton.
w. H. McMasters, Moffit.
A comrehensive platform was adop-
ted and from 1t, we note that there Is
really little difference between the
principles Of the stalwarts and the
progressives. While it is a sort of
q compromise, there was little to COM
promise.
The platform advocates a protec-
tive tariff, only so far as it will cover
the difference between the cost Of
manufacture at home and abroad. It
stands for an unbiased tariff commits
sion that can determine this differ
ence. President Taft is endorsed for
his efforts in behalf Of the good laws
which were enacted during the last
session Of congress.
Roosevelt is congratulated for arous-
ing conservation, and favors the elec-
ton Of United States senators by the
direct vote Of the people. The plan
to improve our inland waterways is
endorsed, and the income ana inheri-
tance tax urged. It favors the exten-
sion Of the free rural mail delivery
systems and urges the passage Of an
anti-pass law, laws that will give the
railroad commissioners more power
to act should be passed. Amendments
should be made to the present pri-
mary election law. An Initiative and
referendum law is favored, and the
platform advocates a law which will
require pupbHcity of camaign contri-
buttons and expenses.
The strict enforcement Of the pro-
hibition law Is favored. The present
executive Of the state is condemned
in his Inconsistency in txercising his
veto power, and in the use Of public
patronage to award his political
henchmen. The republican voters of
the state are reminded that the cleo

T. Hemans. the Democratic candidate

house, last night.
There is no more accurate barom-
cter OF the efficiency OF the govern
ment than economy" he said. AT
the close of Michigan's first so years,
With John T. Rich as governor, over
s40.000.000 was expended in build
ing public structures. How much has
been expended during the past 10
years? There isn't a twelvemonth
goes that there isn't a half million
spent OF which no account Is given.
Why do We still have kerosene in
spection? Because IL furnishes jobs
for q inspectors at $1,000 a year
each. Michigan may need house
cleaning, but 1t will never get il by
allowing the men to remain who have
allowed II to become so dirty. When

Mason, Answering Morrow.

IF IL had not been for the Anti-Sa-
loon league. statewide prohibition

gan"
This Is the answer OF K. w. Mason,
local prohibition worker TO the state
ment made by George w. Morrow,
superintendent of the Michigan Anti
Saloon league. In The Times. Satur-
day.
Mr.. Morrow says In effect that the
league and the federated church,
which he also represents. Is for right

Mason. He does not deny that alb
solute prohibition II preferable to To-
cal option, but he explains that the
league does not want To inJure It's
chances OF securing favorable legis-
lation by tying up 10 candidates who
have no chance TO win
The local optionists stand In the
same position with reference to the
Temperance question as did the COM
promisers on the slavery question. The
latter. under the leadership Of Stephen
A. Douglass. wanted the majority to
determine whether slavery was to be
permitted or not But Lincoln took
the stand that IL the majority was for
slavery and majority was wrong and
that righteousness demanded the
abolition of slavery.
The Anti-Saloon league. like the
followers OF Douglass, Is willing to
compromise. IL the majority OF the
electors in this county or that county
say that liquor shall be sold there they
are willing to abide the decision OF
the, majority The Prohibition party
Is against the sale and manufacture
of liquor because II is wrong and
nothing can make II right. Neither
can there be any compromise.
Long ago the liquor interests saw
the prohibition sentiment rising In
MicAig-n. They saw their opportunity
for a compromise in the local option
plan and they grabbed at the chance.
The energy that otherwise would have
expression in a demand for statewide
prohibition has been dissipated
through the local option channels and
the opportunity TO secure statewide
prohibition has been lost for the time
being.
THE Anti-Saloon league likewise
has been opposed TO statewide pro-
hibition. II was against II In North
Carolina on the ground that the time
was not ripe. yet north Carolina went
dry by a majority OF 100000. The
league opposed statewide prohibition
in Oklahoma and still more recently
In Missouri. and was against IL when
the question came up In our own con-
stitutional convention. The time was
not ripe to do right. the leaders said,

The woman attracted him to pro-

for two reasons. both OF which can be
directly traced 10 the unequal un-
reasonable and unnatural position OF
the sexes in the social and industrial
world.
First. women. as late as the last
generation. have always been taught
that they must marry at any cost.
Second. they were taught that they
must stay at home and wait until
chosen.
Consequently the number of men
upon whom they were privileged to
practice their little arts and wiles
were limited to the number of men
who called upon them: and they were

WARRINGTON. Oct. i1.-Official
ngures issued by the crop reporting
board OF the department OF agricul

terial prosperity for the United States,
says special to the Chicago Recor0'
Herald.
Corn and oats are bumper crops, the
former having three billion bushels
and the latter exceeding last years
btllion-bushel crop by nearly lo0,'
100000 bushels
Even the wheat crop turns out to
be only 45.000.000 bushels behind the
big yield OF 1909, and has been ex-
ceeded but four, times In the nation 5
history.
The great states OF the Mississippi
valley have rolled out fairness galore.
breaking the record for acreages and
yield OF corn and promising the coun-
try fat hogs without limit. While the
figures above show that the corn
yield is trie below the 100000. 1000
rbushel mark. this report was made up
only to Oct. l. Since that data even
the stragglers OF the 1910 corn crop
have come under the safety line. The
November report will take note CT
these and will also tell the country
that many millions of bushels of the
crop Of 1909 are still on hand. This
old corn will fatten the Juveniles OF
the swine family that swere not in evil
dence previous to last spring and
summer.
The present corn crop Is 100000. 900
bushels larger than that OF last year
and Is over 50,000,000 bushels larger
than the previous bumper crop--that
OF 19O6--which was 1927 900 900 bush
els. The states south OF the Ohio
river and the Missouri and Kansas
lines have raised more than round
billion OF bushels Of corn. something
heretofore unheard OF. The south will
have hog and hominy In profusion-
and q good bunch of corn for export.
The export promise for the north
ern corn Is also good. II is In high
favor abroad. but It will have TO conf
pete with comparatively low priced
Argentine corn that Is now being
headed toward Europe at a rate OF
10000 to 100000 bushels a week.
Until last year a crop OF a billion
bushels of oats in America was uri-
known. This year there Is good.
healthy start on the second billion,
the oficial preliminary estimate for
1910 making the yield 1,0s6,o0o.000
bushels. In addition TO being the
largest crop of oats ever grown. the
quality is exceptionally fine and the
weight per bushel is among the heavi-
est ever recorded. There is plenty of
feed for all Of the animals In need OF
the grain in this country. in addition

port providing the producer here Is
willing to get into competition with

The production of spring wheat. as
estimated by the crop reporting board
for 1910, was 233.475.000 bushels, COM
pared with 2s0.S23 900 bushels in
1908. the yield per acre being, lis
