planned and held in allegiance until the

Roosevelt was not advised of the dis

The executive committee, assisted
by Mr.. Carroll, will now have to de-
vote a great part of their campaign,
which would otherwise be spent in ex-
pounding reasons for a third state

an intentional or u"nintentional omis-
sion on the part of the managers OF
the convention and the executive COM

convention did authorize the state cen :
trail committee to nominate a candt-
date for the office of. commissioners OF
agriculture and labor, and the resolu-

Assumed Power to Nominate.
Had it been the intention of the del
egates in convention assembled to con-
fer such powers as the executive COM
amittee of the state central committee
assisted by Mr.. Carroll, assumed in
nominating Mayor Sweet, it is presum-
able that they would have i~ncorporat-
ed the authority in the resolutions
adopted. The fact that it was omit
ted is taken for granted that the con-
vention did not care to go on record
as broadening the powers OF the eX-
ecutive committee, assisted by Mr..
Carroll, to that extent. .
Section 632 Of the revised code OF
North Dakota, clearly says that va
cancies occurring on g. ballot prior 10
election NAV only be filled by the
state central committee when author
lied by action of the nominating con-
Vention. If such powers are not con-
ferred by the nominating convention,
then the vacancies must be filled by a
regularly called convention.
1t the letter OF the law is adhered to,
the third state party can have no cam
didate for governor except by calling
another convention. 1t is always GUS
tomary at political conventions to con-
slider the possibility Of a vacancy oc-
curing on the ballot before election
day, by death or otherwise, and dele
gate the powers of filling such Vacan-
Cies to the state central committee of
the party holding the convention. The
progressive republicans recognized this
fundamental principle and so empow-
cred their state central committee.

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

Hunting stories are always in order.
Here is n that is told by Mike Foy,
the former railroad engineer, whom
everybody knows.
Mike and his party were out hunt
ing on the first day of the season. and
he was driving his cracky wagon with
one man as his companion. They
warded. Towards evening they pull
ed UP at Argusville to the little hotel.
The dog was hungry and so one of the
men walked over to the meat market
and bought a round of steak for the
dog, taking 1t back to the kitchen for
broiling.
Just after they had lone this an
auto with two young men and two
young ladies, all of Fargo, who had
been hunting, drove up and one of
the men went w to the shop and
bought g. big porterhouse steak for
the four. .
Now, n of these young ladies had
been taking cooking lessons and she
determined to show her ability along
this line, so h asked inc obtained
permission to go out into the Kitchen
and cook the steak.
She went, grabbed up the dogs
round of steak, and cooked it nicely,
while the porterhouse steak was broil-
vi ~ III NSSs
Her cooking was all right, but, oh,
tough was the fruit thereof. The dog
enjoyed his meal to a great extent.
Secord Henderson. who headquar-
tiers at the Waldorf, is back on the
road again after having spent his va
cation with the folks up at Du-
luth, and he has already begun to
talk shoes throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Mr.. Henderson
says that business up in Duluth has
been excellent and that the merchants
in that section are looking forward to
a good season. In fact, from the re-
ports that he has been receiving since
he came back to North Dakota he is
of the belief that the business situa-
ton is in tirst-class shape.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Ringland, who
live at the Waldorf, have returned
from a short hunting trip up to the
town of Sharon and they had a very
pleasant time and secured all the law
would permit them to. The chickens
are plentiful" said Mr.. Ringland, land

MOTOR AND DYNAMO.

Different In Function. Yet Almost Iden-
ticsl In Construction.
1t is very common error TO confuse
motor with a dynamo. and but very
few. outside Of electrical engineering
circles, can explain the difference be-
tween these two achines. The news
paper man writes about the 'dyBa-
mos" burning out and setting the
street car on fire or tells of the giant
motors" whirlinS at tremendous
speed in the power house. and very
few realize that a mistake has been
made.
To explain In the simplest language.
a dynamo is a machine driven by me-
chanicaI energy. which converts that
mechanical energy into electricity.
another form of energy. A motor is
a machine that takes the electrical
energy generated by the dynamo and
converts 1t back again into mechan-
zeal energy. And, curiously enough,
the two machines are almost Identical
In their construction. Indeed. some
dynamos can be operated as motors
and some motors as dynamos without
any change whatever.
Going q little into detail. a dynamo,
or generator, as It is now more com
monty called by electrical men. Is a
machine consisting Of what is called
an armature which is made to revolve
between the poles OF a magnet or
group OF magnets. The armature con
tains a great many loops Of wire.
which cut the lines Of magnetic force
which flow from one magnet pole to
that OF opposite polarity. Although
no one can see how It is done. 1t Is
nevertheless true that this simple proc
ess causes a current of electricity to
flow through the wire of the armature,
which may be led out of the latter
through suitable sliding contacts or
brushes and sent out through the con
Quoting wires OF a circuit which may
extend many miles. The current is
supposed. for convenience, TO Cow out
over one wire and back over the other.
keeping up continuous flow through
the armature and outside circuit.
There you have the dynamo. To
operate the dynamo mechanical energy
such as that Of a steam engine or
water wheel is required. The more
current you take out OF the armaiure
the harder II IS to turn.
Now. If you take u machine similar

Cleveland became delighted with the
lecture which Mr.. Wilson delivered
every afternoon. and was impressed
with the depth of the thought of the
man, and his apparent honesty of pur-
pose.
And the time came when 1t was
wise to select new president. At
the meeting of the board Mr. Cleveland
remained silent as this trustee sug-
gested one man, and that trustee in
terposed with objection. After an

Why do you wander in your minds

man when at the present time he Is
within the shadow of your walls? You
