land, his front has changed. Mr..
Hanna continued as he began, sup
porting the party and administration
to whom he was pledged. The main
difference between the two gentlemen
is that one is consistent; the other,
changed before what he took to be the
wind of public opinion. Senator Nc
Cumber is charged with owning a
house in Washington, and of being in
sympathy with the predatory interests;
when it comes to a matter of not own
ing home in North Dakota, there are
numbers of us that do not and are
still loyal to our commonwealth keep
out of jail. His home in Washington
was purchased that he might live with
in his income, the rents being high.
Mr.. McCumber has been resident OF
the state many years; had his inter-
ests been elsewhere he would have un-
doobtedly gone and his talent would
be appreciated as well anywhere. He
has probably done fully as much for
the development of this state as any
of the office-seekers who are finding
such gaping flaws. The documents
under discussion bear upon their faces

Jamestown Alert: Judge S. E. Ellis
worth of Jamestown returned to Bis
marck last night. having spent the day
in the city with his family on his way
from Grand Forks where he participat
ed in the examination of candidates
for admission to the bar the examina-
ton being conducted by a committee
Of the supreme court.
Judge Ellsworth as his friends
throughout North Dakota are well
aware, is a candidate for re- election TO
succeed himself on the supreme bench
of the state. His work as a practicing
attorney of fifteen years experience
and his record made upon the bench
where he Will have served two wears
at the expiration of his appointment is
most creditable. 1t is well known that
at the time of his appointment to the
bench his practice as an attorney CON
sisted largely OF cases in the higher
courts and his general legal knowledge
Is matter well understood through
out the state, both by members of the
bar, the bench and laymen. He is con-
sidered the right material for voters
TO retain on the supreme bench,
strong endorsement of his quail
hcations to the electors of the state
mas recently been issued by ex-Chief
Justice Corliss, ex-Chief Justice Young
and ex-Justice Knauf and President
Register OF the state bar association.
This recommendation TO voters to SIM
port Judge Ellsworth at the primaries
refers to his fine record as a LAWYER
before his appointment, and to his Ar
ness for the position of Judge because
of judicial temperament, high charac-
ter dignity and wide legal learning NOT
only as an attorney but as a man ~
scholarly attachments in other fields
Judge ELLSWORTH is strongly recon-
menoeo as eminently qualified for the
office he occupies.
The endorsement coming from the
mgn source referred to, certainly de-
serves the careful attention of all yot-
ers whose duty 1t will be on June %
TO make a, selection of six candidates
for the supreme bench, three of whom
are to be elected at the general election
next fall

II is hardly probable that congress win
