HAVE CLEVER SCHEME.

That the Democrats have not given
up all hopes Of retaining their hold on
the gubernatorial chair in this state
is evidenced by the remarkable activi-
ty of the Democratic sheets in favor
of Attorney General Miller as the Re-
publican candidate. At the last cleo
ton Miller worked with might and
main for the head Of the Democratic
ticket while his name appeared on the
Republican side, and his reward is now
coming with the support Of the Burke
sheets in the state.
Not that the Democrats want Andy
in the chief executives chair. Far
from it. They are simply using him
once more as catspaw. AS the pri-
mary draws near and other candidates
are announced from the Republican
party their fight for Miller will in
crease. They will laud him to the
skies. They will "point with pardon
able pride" to his record as Attorney
General. They will endeavor to out
line to the Republican voters their
duty at the poll all in the hopes that
with the aid Of all the Democratic
votes in the state, which are always
cast for Republican candidate at the
primaries, they may succeed in having
him nominated. Then will they lay
down and let him reap his reward by
being elected. Not in minute Then
will come the time when the old dou.
BILE cross will be worked. If plans
work out as expected Senator Purcell
will be the Democratic choice with the
hope that enough Of the voters in the
state who are thoroughly Disguised
with a grandstander Of Millcr's type
will cast their vote for man who is
as generally liked as is Purcell. It i:
good scheme but we doubt it's success
unless there is considerable more rue
ton in the Republican party than We
can now spot. We do not doubt but
what there will be at least two more
candidates from the Republican party
announced for the primaries, both Of
them strong men. If Miller can kee,
up his bluff and secure enough stray
votes to combine with the Democratic
ones he will receive he may make thu
run against the Democrat when it il
ten to one shot he will be defeated
When it comes to a choice between ;
Republican and Democrat we will
ordinarily vote for the Republican
but when it comes to choice between
two Democrats, as would be the cas-,
then, we would certainly advocate tn
election of a man who had stood by hi
principles and his party rather tina,
a man wearing the brand Of a Juda
Iscariot.

Last week we asked Bro. Bloom of
the consolidated press'' of Devils
Lake a few pertinent questions relative
to his charges, that Devils Lake and
Ramsey county were in the clutches of
the stalwart-whiskey element, but as
usual he evades the question by talk
ing about other things entirely. John
don t like to be pinned down to facts
and when he is asked to prove his al
legations, he has faculty of trying to
crawl out by springing some other
ghost story. If he wanted to back up
his assertion, that all of the officers of
the city and county, but two, are in
league with pigs, he ought to have
nerve to tell who those two are, so
that we might know just where to class
the balance Of our officials. But he
knows this is not true, and he dare not
undertake the job. Just give us the
names, John. He says that this paper
rushes to the defense of the pig bri-
gade. Far from it, Bro. Bloom. Ev-
cry reader of this paper knows that
we have always stood against the
blind pig, and for the enforcement of
the prohibition law, and that is right
where we stand today, but we do not
believe in the policy of the Journal in
maligning and abusing our county offic-
ials, simply because we do not always
agree with them politically, and try to
discredit them to gain political ends, as
seems to be the policy Of the Journal
If the Journal can show US that we
have county official who is protecting
the blind pigger, as it has alleged, then
we will do our part to retire that offic
ial. But we want proof based on
facts, and not the insinuations of some
one who had a political axe to grind,
like the Journal and its sponsors. Give
us the facts as well as the names-Ed-
more Herald News.

TAFT'S RENOMINATlON.

This is the way the Minneapolis Tri-
bune views the puny efforts of LaFol-
lette and his followers:
We do not see where serious compe-
tition for the president for the repuhli-
can nomination to succeed himself is
coming from.
LaFollette will try to get delegates
here and there, just to strengthen his
position as opposition leader in the
party and encourage the jobless who
have enlisted under his standard. But
we cannot believe that he hopes for
success or even desires it. The time
for men of his type has not yet come
in this country, though it may be near
er than people think. He is too young
a man to risk defeat when victory may
be few years ahead.
The true friends Of the Colonel will
obey his imprisoned appeal to rally
against the calamity of his nomination
for president, and there is no reason
why they should not be successful. The
people of the country are not really SC
crazy about him as the Colonel thinks
There is nobody else to give a mo.
ment's uneasiness to the president.
All the precedents and the olmpetus
of his position are in his favor, even
with more moderate performance to his
credit. If he have any luck next win
ter, and if the Canadians know which
side the reciprocity sandwich is bue
tered on for them, he will have done
more to reduce the tariff than any
man since the war-even Grover Cleye
land. That is high title to popular ia
vor these days.
One reason why nobody contests the
nomination with Taft is that no Other
republican would have much chance
of election. Taft himself is none too
sure Of it. In a significant letter has
ed on long and free talks with Colone
Roosevelt, Sydney Brooks, the Englisl
journalist, dwells on his disappointment
with Taft and his greater sympath,
with Governor Wilson.
The Colonel would feel it his duty t,
support the republican candidate
Brooks says, but his friends would
probably vote for Wilson.

The stock holders of the Valley City
Times Record are not satisfied at the
way the paper is being handled and it
is more than likely that Editor Pack

"leaving our midst.'' A man who so
persistently knocks everything and
everybody as does Packard and a few
others we might mention, cannot last
in any community for any length of
time. A newspaper is more or less

The Journal, with its customary &C.
curacy, announces that Attorney Cen
eral Miller has never intimated that he
is willing to run for governor. Twenty
four hours before the Journal came out
Mr.. Miller had announced in Fargo
that he was candidate and his press
agents had sent notices of the fact to
the Twin City papers. Editor Bloom
also characterizes all Of the editors who
have been opposing Miller's candidacy
as "piggers. ~ The wholesale denun-
citation without proof or facts that the
