Valley City Times-Record: Just
what effect the announcement of c. A.
Johnson for governor will have on the
factions of the republican party in
North Dakota, cannot as yet be deter
mined. From surface appearances
there is alarm in both camps. The fact
that Johnson was active in welcoming
LaFollette to North Dakota, and that
the i~nsurgent Minot Reporter, places
him in the progressive column makes it
appear that he has received a certain
amount of encouragement from that
faction Of the party. The insurgent
papers of the state were the first to
boom his candidacy but within a few
days they have stilled their clamor,
and reading between the lines it APP
pears that Johnson will get more Of
the Buchanan than the Hanna vote.
This is a contamination which the in--
surgent leaders had not counted on.
They are likely to be hoist by their
own petard. 1t is claimed that John
son will draw his usual strength from
those who would prefer him to either
Hanna or Buchanan. or any other can
didate, and that the second choice
votes he gets from the radical insurg-
ents, whose opposition to Hanna is
bitter will secure him the nomination.
1t might be well for both insurgent
and stalwart to forget their difference
for the time being and squelch the
pseudo ~insurgent from Minot. 1t would
be a sad day for the republicans of
North Dakota If a man 50 universally
apologized for by his supporters of
two years ago should land the plum.

Press Comment

Bismarck Palladium: The insurgent
leaders r on the run. They see no
hope ahead for Buchanan and are
making haste to find a safe means by
which to ditch him. They are not
satisfied this time to turn the govern
orship over to the democrats and are
sorely pressed to find a candidate they
can hope to elect. Aaker thinks he is
1t and demands the chance. He was
not at all satisfied with the deal given
him by the eliminating committee. He
believes the cards were stacked against
him and has all along been inclined to
rebel. Now that a new candidate is
being sought he claims to be the next
in line. Some of the insurgent editors
are sure that G. A. Johnson is the only,
only-and are paving the way to flop
by heading their tickets, "for govern
or, ]. A. Buchanan or C. A. Johnson
Still others want to stand by Buchan-
an and are bitterly arraigning those
who would pull him down. Interest
ing developments are expected in the
near future.
