governor again, which will probably
complicate matters some more, with
our friends, the republicans. The
naughty Buchanan boys say it is a put

votes from Buchanan, thereby aiding
Mr.. Hanna. The stalwarts claim it is
a frameup by the insurgents to divide

Monango Journal: The petition of
James Buchanan of Buchanan is being
circulated in town, in order that the
name of Mr.. Buchanan may be placed
on the official ballots as a candidate
for governor at the June primaries.
While editing a paper at one time in
Stutsman county, which by the way,
was he first insurgent paper to in
surge in that county, we came to know
MI. Buchanan very well indeed and to
admire him very much. He is a pro-
gressive republican, and has been that
since the movement started, and if
elected it is a mighty sure thing that
he will continue to work along that
line. For the benefit of those who are
not acquainted with him we will say
that he is an earnest, consistent chris
tan gentleman. His whole life is an
open book and if he has ever been
identified with a shady act, or trans
action, no person knows of it. and his
neighbors are his best boosters. The
Journal man is a Buchanan admirer
and should have supported him and
voted for him at the coming primary
election excepting that he was identi-
fed, so we r informed, with a twelve
man frame up which is directly in op-
position to the primary law, and to the
principles we have always advocated,
so that inasmuch as Mr.. Hanna is Mr..
Buchanan's equal in every way, and
his superior in some, we shall vote for
Hanna, but pay Mr.. Buchanan the
above tribute, because we consider
him ian honest man."

Devils 7 . World: On the face of
it the old story about the gang system
of politics was very much in evidence
at Fargo yesterday, a secret session, a
slate, a violation Of etiquette, all that
has ever been charged up to gangism
was displayed by the political reform
ers, the so-called progressives. The
very thing that these fellows have been
holIering their heads off about was put
into practice. They sure practiced the
opposite of their preaching.
It is indeed to be regretted that all
cannot agree in fixing things for the
enlightenment Of the people, but some
how or other, the executive committee
sometimes oversteps it's powers in do
ing the things for the people, in in
structing them l. the path they should
60. The idea Of the primary law is
disobeyed by holding any kind Of a
| session, secret or general, such as was
undertaken without success at Fargo.
The voice of the people is worth no
more now than previously, with the fix
ing of states and the figuring of finan-
cial political aid. If such a system is
wanted then revert back to the old
tactics that have been put on the blacI
list simply because Of supposed n
fairness.
On the face of it it looks as though
al in the progressive ranks We're not
getting the proper recognition from the
big moguIs who have undertaken to
run things. OF course there are a few
exceptions, but the general run are mol
satisfied with the words II am a can
didate." They want the official %
K" and that official 20. K" is just
where the gang politics comes in, just
what the progressives have been hol-
lering about and just what they have
injected into their three sessions they
have held during 1912.
Bathgate Pink Paper, dem: Chair
man Macarthur of the democratic state
central committee has given TO the
press a statement that there would be
a meeting of democrats In 2 near
future for the purpose Of selecting a
state ticket and to transact other nnsi-
ness. 1t may be that we are in error
but to us this seems like a very g-ave
error on the part OF the chairman. Our
party declarations are for the primary
system and the late legislature com
pleted the primary system with the OBJ
ject in view of doing away with con-
ventions and leaving the selection OF
candidates entirely with the rank and
file Of the party, Tin the matter o.

tive and district candidates, at the

Grafton Record: Just why c. A.
Johnson should again become a candi-
date for governor is in no way appar-
ent t any republican in either faction
Of the part. Mr.. Johnson been
twice nominated and he proved him
self to be a weak candidate. There is
now some serious talk about his en-
tering the primaries for a third trial.
His advent in the light would compli-
ate matters to s-Ine extent, but we
do not believe there would be anything
gained for MI, Hanna or lost to Mr..
Buchanan. Mr.. Buchanan is the un-
doubted choice of the progressive ele-
ment, and the splendid victory the
progressives won in the March pri-
mary has given them heart to go into
the June contest with victory all down
t ; line almost a certainty.

teriaI difference between such q meet
ing is 1T is proposed to call, except
that 1t is not so representative. and the
convention. The law OF the state. the
declarations OF our arty and common
fairness should be respected. The
candidates selected at such a gather
ing would have all the advantage yer
other candidates which the convention
would give and the individual who de-
sired to become a candidate would be
handicapped, exactly what our pri-
mary system is meant to prevent.
When the fall election nj and W.
are advocating progressive measures,
the opposition can easily refute our
claims to honesty in progressiveism by
pointing to acts of this kind. The
chairman is on the right track in cali
Ing meetings of the party for the pur-
pose Of creating enthusiasm, but 1t
seems 10 us he Is calling them at the
wrong time. After the June primaries
there are two and a half months Of
time which should be utilized. and
which the law of party organization
prevents making use of except in just
such meetings. Then our entire tick
ct will have been named and there will
not be the cause for f~actionaI strife
which must come up to q greater or
less extent at any ante primary meet
ing. All of the effort of willing DEM
ocrats could be centralized on perfect
ing the organization and devising ways
and means for furthering the inter-
ests of the nominees of the party.
Much could be done which would be
of most material help to the organiza-
ton which would be perfected at the
meeting Of the state committe smen at
its regular biennial organization meet
ing in Se~tember. We want to go be-
fore the people when the campaign be-
comes active with c'c1n hands and
evident honesty of purpose. Can we
do this If we attempt to make the old
convention spirit take the place of the
primary?

Neville Journal: The politicians
who claim a copyright to the title
progressive" in North Dakota de-
nounced Roosevelt's candidacy merely
as a trick to help Taft. The claim was
made that no voter was q progressive
unless he voted for LaFollette. How
do these assertions measure up with
the facts now that it is seen that the
progressives all over the union rally
to R~oosevelt's standard? The is not
quite so many horse laughs at the sew
en- western governors who united in
demanding that Roosevelt become a
candidate, as Immediately after the
Mort Dakota primaries. We can all
e now that had Roosevelt not be-
cine a candidate then Taft would have
been renominated by a four-f1fths
majority.

Press Comment

Esmond Bee: MI. Hanna strongly
endorsed, in North Dakota, the Roose-
welt brand of progressiveism, that is
now making such big strides in all
parts of the United States, and the
people of North Dakota are proud of
their representative and the stand he
has taken. MI. Hanna's firm stand
for Roosevelt has gained much for him
in the coming campaign.
The voters of North Dakota want
a governor with ability and experience
and Mr.. Hanna possesses those quail
tie.

Mott Pioneer Press: Everything
that can be said in favor of Mr.. Blu
chanan, the insurgent candidate for
governor, can also be briefly spoken Of
L. B. Hanna-who also seeks the re-
publican nomination for governor.
And, in addition, it can be cited that
MI. Hanna is a man Of public and po-
litical experience through his long
service in both branches of the Iegis-
lature and congress and ideally quail
fed to give North Dakota an efficient
and economical business administra-
ton.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

Practically all of the older mem bers of the New Hampshire club call ed in a body upon J. A. L. Julian, the former secretary treasurer of the club, at his home, 1929 Iranistan avenue, Saturday night, so as to enable him and his wife to meet with the club since his work prevents him from at tending any of it's meetings The visit was an entire surprise to hlm, as he knew absolutely nothing about their coming until he answered the ring at his door, although Mrs. Julian had been in the secret for the past three weeks. The company passeo the evening in various diversions, one of which was an auction conuucteo bv E. l.. French, the secretary-treas- urer, at which various deceitfully la belled packages were sold for fabulous amounts, much fun being produced when their contents were revealed.

 This alleged item of news is, of course. but a reminder that today is the First of April, Carlyle once said that England was inhabited by umpty million people-"mostly fools." Dean Swift remarked that the Festival of All Fools should begin on New Years Day and continue, on day night shifts to the thirty-first of December. Per- tlemen were correct in their estimate of humanity, and the alleged "prac- tical jokes" that will be played dur ing the course of today will doubt less go far toward proving the truth of their contention. "A little non sense now and then is relished by the best of men,' but there is type of April Fool joker who is to be chased with the man who rocks the boa t, the criminally careless ignoramus who didn't know it was loaded,'' and the unmitigated pest whose idea of humor is to make life miserable for Newly weds.

FIRST THINGS

The first "world's fair'' of really in- ternational scope was that opened in Paris forty-five years ago today, April l, 1867. Five years previously a so- called "interna tiOnal exhibition" was held in London, but the death of the Prince Consort and the Civil War in the United States prevented the pro- motors from carrying out their plans in full. The Paris exhibition was held in the Champ de Mars, in a mag nificent edifice covering thirty five acres. The interior was arranged in concentric circles crossed by radiating passages, and by this novel arrange ment all articles of one class were kept together, and the exhibitions of each nation were also concentrated. The exhibition continued to Oct. 31.

THE ExPL CITATION OF CHEAP REMEDIES

Our esteemed contemporary The Bridgeport Telegram, sees clearly the meaning of the last Republican pri- maries. It is not deceived by the small opposition that was made to the machine slate into a belief that any considerable number of persons have given their approval to the ''profes- sional politicians" who pretend sud- denly to have been made whiter than snow.
 The signicance of the absence of opposition within party line, says the Telegram, is that the people have be. come disgusted with ordinary meth ods of conducting city government.

NIAGARA'S POWER AND BEAUTY

Congress has renewed again a statute passed in 1906 for the protec- ton of Niagara Falls. The renewal continues until 1913. The total esti- mated flow of water over the falls is 220.000 cubic feet per second, of which the diversion of 56,OOO cubic feet per second, or about 25 per cent. is authorized, 36,000 on the Canadian side and 2O,Oos on the American side. The amount that may be developed on the American side is complete, and America buys from the Canadian pow CT companies 16O,0OO horse power, of 100000 which may be sold here under agreement between the countries. Thus the available power is not yet marketed.
 There is a strong desire to protect the falls from such encroachment for power purposes as will destroy their
