Since there are $40 votes in the cleo

Maryland more appropriately might
be placed in the doubtful column. In

Mail was for Buchanan for the guber-
material nomination because it be-
lieved he was the strongest man.
The results Of the primary did not
bear out this belief AT the present
time The Mail is in favor OF the nom
ination of Mr.. Hanna for governor
because we are Of the belief that
there is no democrat in the state who
can beat Mr.. Hanna In the general
election. We have known Mr.. Hanna
personally for many years. and it is
because Of the ability OF the man and
his fairness in ali things that we are
so in favor Of his nomination at this
time. Progressiveisna or stalwartisnn

Kenmare Journal: The republic
cans of North Dakota are walking
around on the crystal edge of
double trap, and the blooming thing
is liable to spring most any time
If they don't look out. Several days
ago while on his way home from Kan
sas City where he had been attending
the Trans Mississippi congress the
governor is reported as having stated
to Minneapolis Tribune reporter that
''if my administration is abused by
opponents l will certainly run a fourth
time" When a man has a chip on
his shoulder it is q pretty good sign
that he is looking for trouble. and he
generally finds 1t. In the governors
case it is plain that he wants to run
again-he seems to like it-and is
looking for an excuse to get over on
the defensive side. Only short time
ago he gave it out that he would run
again if The Forum didn't quit pick
ing at him. The Forum now wants
the governor to tell what 1t should
say in order to get him to run, claim
ing that he would be easy picking.
or course this Is a mean way of put
ting it, but the fact remains that the
people are really getting tired OF
Burke. 1t is becoming too much Of
good thing'-if 1t may be called
good. Mr.. Burke was elected by a
peculiar combination of circumstances
bordering on accident. There is no
class who tire so quickly Of a oneman
proposition as do the American peor
ple-and especially a western people.
Mr.. Burke has made good In many re-
spects and, made mistakes in others,
But be the balance for good in his
favor, it is believed that the majority
of North Dakotans will determine that
/ Mr.. Burke has sacrificed enough in
their behalf and that they win insist
upon some other man carrying the
burdens of gubernatorial ONCE next
/ time.

BIDS LOST?

Lost: Bids on the Green River
pipe line.
Nick Lawson says he gave them
to the city attorney. The city
attorney says they are not in the
office. Mayor Seymour says he
does not know where they are.
The city clerk says he has not
got them.
The question is where are
those bids?
1t is important for the contract
has not yet been let.
The city attorney says the low
bid Of P. E. McHugh is irregular.
1t looks on the face of it that
McHugh bid s25 on certain iron
pipes that are worth several hun
dred each. But McHugh says his
bid was $2500. The seal was put
on the bid by the notary right
where the two ciphers came and
to avoid the seal they were raised
up around the circle of the seal.
This made it look like $500 in
stead of $2500.
Now no one seems able to see
the bid to see what was intend
ed.
McHugh spent two hours in the
city hall this morning trying to
get those bids so he could take
a photograph of his bid. The
question arose whether they had
been stolen to be tampered with.
An investigation will be started
to see what has become of the
documents.

Ell PAsO, May 19.-"Peace in
Mexico Is assured. The revolu-

This statement was made in
Juarez today to the United Press
by Francisco I. Madero, jr., the
midget physician who has over
thrown Diaz, the dictator of Mex
leo, and, probably, the most pow
erful individual that republic has
ever produced.

continued, ''is arranging for my
trip to Mexico City. / shall go
there unguarded. The first
thing to de done there is to con-
clude peace. The present armis-
tice expires on Monday, but there
is hardly a doubt that by that
time the final papers will have
been signed. In any event can
safely say there is to be no more
fighting. The revolution has
won"
With the practical surrender
of Diaz, the scene of action in
the war drama now begins to
shift to the capital. The Madero
family is already beginning to re-
turn dn triumph to Mexico from
their safe quarters here and at

ASSESSOR CHARGED

OAKLAND, May 19.-Members

jury assembled in the courthouse

Alameda county has seldom II
ever had bigger sensation.
Three times arrested on similar
charges during his 16 years in
office; twice freed when the
charges were dismissed and once
acquitted, Dalton has nevertheless
built up a following in the sub
urban districts which repeatedly
reelected him, nearly always by
overwhelming majorities.
Now with the evidence against
him apparently conclusive and
leaving scarcely any loophole for
escape, Dalton's friends are un-
easily resting on Dalton's meager
statement following his arrest, Il

LONDON, May 19.-William
Waldorf Astor is making the ef-
fort of his life to break into Eng
lish society, a feat which he has
so far failed to accomplish,
though he has tried unremitting-
ly since he became naturalized
subject of the king in 1899.
Society cannot forget Astor's
skunk-skinning origin and that,
though living in England, he
draws his millions a year from
New York real estate.
The society columns of even
the mest respectable English
Journals are open to the socially
ambitious-at advertising rates
and so, during the weeks pre-
ceding the coronation, the activ-

wide publicity.

TO CHANGE
OFFICIALS

The crowd that was back of
Roys in the recent election dies
hard and ever since the over
whelming defeat given them by
the people last Tuesday they have
been trying to see some way out
by which they could still see some
way to do as they please in the
future.
The only chance seemed to be
to try to get the council to
change the heads of departments.
If they could switch Woods or
Weeks into the police depart
ment 1t was figured the old re-
gime might have some standing
In the city affairs.
But the suggestion of the
scheme got such setback in the
expression from the people who
elected Petit that no commits
sioner would dare to advocate the
change.
1t is settled that there will he
no change. Mr.. Petit will have
charge of the police and fire de-
partments as the people expected
him to.
