SECRETARY TRAYNoR.

The selection of Attorney Fred J.
Traynor of this city to act as secretary
to the state progressive organization,
is one that meets with the unqualified
approval Of every true progressive in
Ramey county as we'll as throughout
the state. Attorney Traynor has been
one of the .staunchest, most consistent
progressive leaders of this section of
the state and ably represented Ramsey
county in the legislature two years ago,
when he won recognition In the state
by his square-toed, honest stand for
progressive legislation. ~. -. .
g The choice Of Attorney Traynor was
made unanimously by the nominating
committee and bespeaks his standing
among progressive leaders through
North Dakota; Ramsey county is pro.
gressive today and has been kept in
the progressive column largely through
the efforts of Attorney Traynor. Shall
his work as an officer of the state pro
gressiye organization we'll receive the
solid support Of Ramsey county pro
gressives? 4 ,

LoR,MER ANDIDREEN.

Senator ILorimer in times past gave
to and received favors from Governor
Deneen, the, present executive head
and master political, hand Of Illinois.
Today Deneen is agin' Lorimer and
testified agin' Lorimer's interests from
start to finish. It was not entirely
patriotism which caused Deneen to. do
this. No. Deneen, although passably
honest and upright, is a politician first,
last and all the time. He picks a win;
;ner every time he makes a move: He
picks Lorimer and Lorimerism just
now to be far lin the field with their
race run. Therefore, he is agin' Lori
merism, In "a cold looded, practical
view Of the situation, this action Of
iDeneen's lis the surest sign Of the com.
ing downfall Of Lorimer and what Lori
mer stands for, When the shreWd
successful politician deserts the ship,

THE RIGHT OF SPEECH.

No right was deemed by the fathers
Of the government more sacred than
the right of speech. 1t was in their
eyes, as in the eyes of all thoughtful
men, the great moral renovator of
society and government. Daniel Web
ster called it homebred right, fire.
side privilege. Liberty is meaningless
where the right to utter ones thoughts
and opinions has ceased to exist That,
of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. 1t
Is the right which they first of all
strike down. They know it's power.
Thrones, dominions, principalities and
powers, founded in injustice and wrong,
are sure to tremble, if men are allowed
to reason for righteousness, temper
ance, and of a judgment to come in
their presence.-Frederick Douglas.

Next year progressiveism in North
Dakota has real battle to be fought.
1t will be battle within as well as
without. 1t will be, a task to separate
the insurgent sheep from the insurgent
goats as we'll as to drive away stalwart
wolves. It is well that the Fargo meet
ing was held and a solid foundation
laid for the serious, work of organic
ing the state next year. If progressive
ism in North Dakota now lives up to
it's traditions, holds true to its stand
ards, and continues to fight for prin-
ciples as sturdily after it has come
into power as it did before 1t gained
success, there is no question but what
it will be an enduring and permanent
force in North Dakota politics.

SOCIALISM,,

At present the socialist cause in
North Dakota is supported by a few
men Of very strong convictions. While
now it is negligible quantity in a
state campaign, its influence, is grow
ing more noticeably in city and county
affairs. 1t is something that before
long will demand and secure. the
thoughtful consideration of. all think
ing men. f., " .ss.>
Without going into the merits of Its
cause it is worth calling to mind the
fact that no great and stirring political
movement was ever begun unless be-
hind it lay some germ of justice. So
socialism is founded upon a germ of
justice. It is the result of the great
unrest of the masses under our pre-
sent economic system. There are in
equalities today which no sane man
Denies. There are reforms asked for by
socialism which all sensible men be
lieve in. Socialism has its mission ais
all political movements have their mis-.
sions. The important consideration
to us is the question of how far social
ism shall 60 in theory and in practice
Unless present political parties rise
above selfshness and trickery and pri-
vilege socialism is bound to go far,
farther than even we of today can CON
ceive. If the progressive forces Of to-
day control an ddirect rightly the poll
teal affairs of the nation socialism will
not go to the extreme. But unless de-
mocracy and republicanism do rise to
the height of their possibilities, social
ism which has instilled in the minds
land hearts Of it's followers among us,
an intensity and sincerity Of belief
which seem lost in the older parties,
will swing the pendulum of politics
far to the side of radicalism.@ s.

CAREFUL!

Once more President Taft faces a
situation of great delicacy in the solu-
ton of which the greatest care and

General Wickersham, that the presi-

it might seem presu1nptious in him
coming from illinois to talk to the
people of North Dakota as his state
legislature had turned down the very
things North Dakota had secured in
the way of progressive legislation, but
he believed that what he had to. say
would be good for any community. He.
told of the graft and bribery that rul-t

movement was progressing to put a
stop to It. He said the state had given.
