For thirty-two years Mr.. Winship

days, pushed it through the territorial
days, territorial division, establishment
of statehood, then through over twenty
years of what might be termed founda-
ton laying; party differences; advers-
ity, prosperity, everything which goes
with Ma lopg,a hNeptful 91ife in yaspubic
capacity, and finally saw his effosts
crowned by placing his Herald in the
metropolitan class of northwestern
newspapers.

The suggestion that has ben made by
Henry Hale to the Commercial Club ag-
itating MidWinter Fair is an excel
lent one that should receive attention.
Devils Lake is the center of splendid
farming community and from all indi-
cations this year is to be at least an
average one. By starting now and Of
fering prizes for the best exhibits a
double purpose could be accomplished
"a county exhibit could be secured to
send to the the Industrial Show at Bis
marck and interest could be aroused in
fair for this city. Devils Lake owes
the farmers of the community someth-
ing and little entertainment for them
during the dull winter months would
be an excellent way in which to par,
tally repay them.

CONGRESSMAN WILL NOT DECIDE
UNTIL HE CONFERS WITH
HIS FRIENDS.

w. w. Jermaine, Washington CORE
spondent of the Minneapolis Journal,
says:
= Representative Hanna of North Da-
kota will not decide whether he is to
make the race for congress against his
colleague, Mr.. Helgesen, or try for the
gubernatorial nomination, until he re-
turns to the state after the adjourn
nent Of congress. He is receiving from
half dozen to dozen letters day
from his friends in the state, among
regulars and progressives, urging him
ernorship and he has been giving the
the matter up with the party leaders
Immediately upon his arrival home.
"There mas beben quite a demand
from the state to have me run for gov
crnor,' said Mr.. Hanna today, "but I
have not made up ny mind what
shall do. I shall not decide the ques-
ton until get back to the state and
have an opportunity to talk the mat
ter over with my friends.''
May Try for Congress.
Among North Dakotans here it is the
belief that Hanna would rather try for
another term in congress and that he
would have good show Of winning in
the race against Helgcsen. It is point
ed out that in previous primary cam
paignes when the representatives were
elected at large, Hanna got more votes
than Helgesen, although the indica-
tions at the beginning Of the campaign
were that Helgesen would lead by
wide margin. It is known that Hanna
and Helgesen have talked over the
congressional situation created by their
both being in the same congressional
district, but they have reached no con-
clusion.
It is reported on good authority that
at one conference between the :wo
representatives Hanna made a propo-
sition to Helgesen to toss a copper to
decide which should stand for con-
gress in their district. Helgesen, it is
declared, declined to take the chance,
however, saying that he WASH t very
lucky and instanced the drawing OF
seats in the house when he secured
less desirable seat than Hanna.
It is understood, though, not ex-
pressed by Mr.. Hanna that he does not
like the provision of the new election
law requiring the expression Of first
and second choice Of candidates, and,
where there are number running for
one Office, that the nominee shall be
the one securing the largest total Of
the first and second choice expressions.
Hanna is said to be confident that he
can secure plurality Of votes, no mat
ter how many candidates are in the
race for the gubernatorial nomination..
But he is said to be somewhat doubt
full about securing plurality Of the
combined first and second choice dec
arations.
idea Appals to Hanna.
The idea of running for governor. is
said to appeal strongly to the Fargo
man. He has been member Of the
state house and senate, has been elect
ed twice, and looks with decided ia
vor upon the idea Of advancing in the
next step in his political career to the
Office Of governor.

THE, MATTER OF RATES.

So far as the consumer in Devils
Lake is concerned the matter of a re-
duction in the rates on light and water
is as far from 4 settlement now as it
was before the meeting of the city
council last evening.
Exhaustive reports were read both
by representatives of the city and by
those appearing for the improvement:
Company. covering comparative figures
applying to various cities in and out
of this vicinity. Some little argument
was INDUCED in, but the matter Of ma
chinerv. the cost Of kilowatt, the
price OF coal, the cost of production,
and the attitude of the public appeared
close student Of economies to ascertain
the standing of the local plant.
But one fact stood out clearly amid
the mass of figures presented, that be-
ing the undisputcd statement that mu-
nicipal plants wherever tried, were
able to give the patrons of their ser
vice lower rate than private corpora
lions under similar circumstances. The
World does not know at this time
whether it would be feasible for the
city of Devils Lake to install muni-
cipal plant, but is willing to assert that
if they are enabled to so 10 it would
mean a decided saving i'll rates.
Prohibitive light and water rates
will do more to deter the growth Of a
city than any other factor that en-
tiers into the computation of the pros
pective resident. These two public
utilities are the mainstay Of any fam
lily and upon their cost rests in the
main the cost of living. We do not
deny that the local corporation has met
with obstacles but it is the general be-
lief that part of these obstacles have
been the result of their own negligence
in keeping abreast Of the times with
workmen. AS the discussion has arisen
it should result in thorough investi.
CATION and settlement if possible. II
is not the desire of citizens of Devils
Lake to do any corporation an inius
tice but it is generally conceded that
the rates in this city are not in con
formity with the service given the pa
irons and it is the wish of the people
for the investigation to continue.
The World has made no attempt t
arouse public sentiment nor will it il
the future do more than to lay the
facts as they appear to the council be
fore the public in the hopes that some
arrangement can be arrived at thai
will be equitable, both to the corpor
| alton and the public.

The proposed amendment to the pure
