S itchVille Bull tin Will the North
Dakota Senate do to Judge Cowan
4 what The u. s, Senate did 5to Senator
Lorimer??
Edgeley Mai: I now begins Is L,
look as though the senate was trying
to figure out q way to clear Cowan
sso Of the imp eachment charge. sIs
willow city Eagle: The vote 81
Garden sof this county IS always Oh the
L right: side and II the interests ST the
state and It's people which Is more
!. u than ~ can be said OF some. y3s.
Jud Leader: The people q the
state should not be SO unreasonable
as 81 to find fault because Judge CoWan
4 jig has such staunch supporters In the
Z senate Sc: There is honor among rouges..
!s Jud lead er:: It seems that the sen
\ S;ate IN the CoWan imp achment pro,
ceediings L IS interpre citing the rules of
evidence strictly where 1T benefits the
defense but otherwise little attention
sis paid to the rules.
hickey !Repo rter:: : a majority Of the
members OF the senate at Bismarck
!: Seem determined to rule out all UNI
specified evidence in delayed cases
charged against Cowan. It seems to
\ us as IL all the evidence procurable
\ should be brought before that body.
I IL CoWan IS not guilty he should not be
afraid Of new evidence. 5i

Palermo Herald Such a pitiful
4 sum as SIS, 900 assessed against the
& many million dollars worth Of prop
] erty in this state, the state would not

{ ton Of the CoWan case. These
charges were mat against a district
/; judge, and IL was the duty st the
state to find out whether they were
true or false. ~; ssssss

I Mr.. Lorimer had enough warm friends
to raise q fund Of 81 100000 with which
to buy asseat ! the United States sen,
!: ate for him Therefore, We suppose
4 he ought to hold his seat.
Moha1l News: There are those who
have said that Governor Burke had
taken consid erable interest in h the
CoWan imp achment proceedings
Wei, what IL he has II The had taken
no interest whatever, then these same
4 people would shout from the house
