Champ Clark-presiding officer Of

SO Champ Clark has decided and

He has had what might be called a

many other public men, that the pat

people which for directness and last

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

The democrats appear to be having
some difficulty In agreeing on a CUB
ernatorial candidate. Some Of them
are waiting for Governor Burke to
make an Official statement. They are
speculating whether he wants to make
the race for fourth term. The BEN
efciaries Of his appointive power are
hoping he will again enter the lists.
There are others who realize the
governor is a back number and can
never be elected again. They resent
his seeming determination to keep
other candidates out of the race.
There are stiH others who are less
considerable of the executive and they
are discussing possible candidates
entirely ignoring the governor.
there are many republicans hoping
Burke may be sufficiently egotistical
to be a candidate for the fourth term.
They see where he can easily be de-
feated-and are anxious to rub it in.
The governor is reported to want to
break into the national political game.
He no doubt realizes what a deuce
spot he would be in either the presi-
Denial or vice presidential race-but
In said to have an idea that through
the agitation over the positions he
may land cabinet position or some
federal appointment should a demo-
crat be elected president.
with this object in view he would
be much stronger-having been elect
ed governor three times-to quit with
his present record-than to make
fourth and unsuccessful effort to land
the place. That would leave him
stranded and out Of consideration. 1t
is Insisted in some quarters that the
fear Of defeat and lost prestige is
holding him back

UNREASONABLE POSITION.

BY constantly refusing to recognize
American passports when they are
presented by Jews-Russia takes a
position which is both unreasonable
and unjust.
Repeated protests from the United
States against this discrimination Wis
ited upon American citizens who hap
pen to be Jews have been unavailing
Every year thousands Of American
Jews are offered insult by the Russian
officials and denied the courtesies
granted other American travellers
merely because Of the race prejudice
which exists in Russia.
The Hon. Simon Wolf of Washing
ton and many other prominent men
have worked for years in an effort to
make it possible for Jewish Americans
to enjoy the same rights in Russia
other Americans are accorded-but
apparently without success.
ANSpA CScHtaAlNS WllndIn SulZeE OF
New York made a stirring speech in
New York few days ago, in which he
declared Russia's mistreatment of
American subjects because of their
race and religion is clearly violation
of the treaty of 1892 between this
country and Russia-which provides
for the recognition of passports bv the
two nations
Mr.. Sulzer is chairman of the house
committee on foreign affairs. and at
the last session of congress he intro
duced resolution providing for the
abrogation Of this treaty with Russia.
He will push the resolution at the
coming session Of congress, and seek
to nullify the treaty which Russia
evades every time it heaps indignity
upon an American Jew-who seeks to
enter the cars kingdom.
This unreasonable action on the
part Of Russia has long been a source
of annoyance to the United states
Mr.. Suffers drastic remedy seems IL
be the only means of bringing Russia
to it's senses.

hit simultaneously. Hod got a black
eye and Hank got a broken nose. The

Neche Chronotype: The political
situation has taken a decided change
in this state during the past week.
Usher L. Burdiek has declared that he
will not be a candidate for the guber-
Material nomination. and unless other
aspirants inject themselves into the
race. the contest will be between Hon.
L. B. Hanna, A. Miller and HI. H.
Aaker. Hanna is the strongest and
most popular of the three named and
will undoubtedly win out in the pri-
mary election. He will be supported
by three leading daily papers OF the
state and many country weeklies.
Miller is a clever politician and will
pull many political strings in an at
tempt to get the nomination. He will
be supported by many democrats and
some of the states most astute poll
ticians believe that Miller can secure
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor, if he wants it.
Douglas Herald: Congressman Han
ma has announced himself as being a
candidate in the coming primary cleo
ton for governor Of North Dakota.
He has shown his worth in the con-
gress and we feel certain that IL he is
elected to the governorship he will
prove Just as worthy an exponent of
the people as heretofore.
