UNSFLF|SH INTEREST

We have in Minot a man whose
work of a few months ago will call
for greater consideration and from
more men, during the next two
months, than anything of a like ma
ture, since North Dakota has become
a state. We refer to Gov. J. NJ. De-
vine and the Republican platform
.s .u2-. Ae prepared and which was
adopted prior to the last general cleo
ton. The platform was the result Of
great Progressive movement in tn
state, and if the members OF the i =
islature keep their pledges, our laws
will measure up with those Of any
state in the Union and in many ways
they will be several notches ahead.
The people of the state owe Mr.. De-
vine vote OF thanks for the unselfish
interest which he has taken in the
fight for good legislation.

got there he could not explain, ev-
cept that he might have walked
there in his sleep.
Evidently Anderson climbed
through a window, but before doing
so he removed his shoes. He claimed
that he was sober and at a loss to
account for his actions, for he never
before had discovered somnambulis-
