Mr.. Ridder had not proceeded

Washington, D. G., June 5.--One of
the interesting side lights that has
characterized the fight upon Canadian
reciprocity in the senate Is Senator
McCumber's determined fight upon
that proposition. The Wahpeton SEN
at or is regarder as the natural leader
OF the opposition and to date he has
not been found wanting in any partic-
ular. Geographically, he halls from q
section OF country which believes Cam
adam reciprocity will be ruinous to
~ agricultural population. Senator
McCumber has vitaliaed that opinion
in foreefnl expression upon the door
Of the senate and by his course in
the committee on finance Of which he
is q member. and in this he has made
good the campaign promises to his
friends last year.
Senator McCumber more than a year
ago was a candidate for re- election
to the senate. A lively opposition had
developed and the chief campaign ar
gument was that Senator McCumber
should not be returned to the senate
because he was out Of harmony with
the people OF North Dakota. That
argument was denied and in addition
the charge made that the people of
North Dakota could not AFFORD to turn
down public servant who because
of ability and conspicuous service in
the senate had become one of the ac-
knowledged leaders in that body and
who had earned for himself a place
upon the finance COMMITTEES, the most
important committee In the senate.
The people stood by Senator Nc
Cumber.
To have refused Senator McCumber
q recollection would have cost North
Dakota the loss of considerable pres
tige and the extent of that loss can
only be appreciated now that the SEN
ate is engaged In a death struggle
with Canadian reciprocity. There
would have been no North Dakota
senator upon the finance committee to
combat Canadian reciprocity had the
Wahpeton man been defeated
1t Is indeed gratifying to his friends
to know that the people OF North ia
kota did not make the irreparable mis-.
take in turning down McCumber at
that time. His course in the senate
mas not OILY FltlNAEhlEQ Tie NlHlnlS OF
his most ardent friends but has
aroused general commentator and
support in his native state.
1t Is not belittling the efforts Of
any senator to say that new member
rannot be as effective as an old ex-
perienced legislator In body such as
the United states senate. Under the
circumstances Senator McC1mherss
course Is being watched with increas-
ing interest and In the end should the
defeat Of the reciprocity measure be
brought about, to him undoubtedly
win be due the lions share OF the
credit.
