the Governor had it drawn in such
a way as to prevent its being voted
upon.
We should have an economical
administration-not a raise in
taxes. The amount derived from
taxation is greater today than ever
before, yet the treasury is EMPTY.
The trouble is in eXtravagant az
propriations--unnecessarye expend.-
lures. | am against the Turner
Jacobson bill because its effect
would be an increase in taxes.
IHAVE NEVER defended Cald-
we'll & Drake, but have insisted
that they should have been CON-
PEELED to complete the capitol
under their contract, or been sued
for non-performance. | DID SAY
that some of the work performed
by Caldwell & Drake, and blown
out by the governor, was better
than that replaced by him, but did
not consider this any recommended
ton of their work.
If there is a school book trust in
Arkansas, why has not the COVER
nor suppressed it? He boasts OF
his allegiance to the antitrust law.
Yes, my headquarters are in Gleas-
on's Hotel, the same hotel in which
he kept his rooms during his first
campaign. He knows this is the
best moderate-priced hotel in the
city, and that its manager has no
relation to any school book COM
pany.
Is there a whiskey machine that
blocks the wheels Of state? If so,
why should the governor be elected
to serve a third term, when he ad-
mits that he has been unable to
successfully cope with such an evil
agency? Is his acknowledged in
competency and inability a reason
why he should be continued in Of
flee? Should find such an agency
there and be unable to dispose of it
during my first term, | shall never
ask for a second. If such a ma
chine exists, it is because the GOV
ernor helped to bring it into exist
ence and nurtured it during its in
fancy.
Every friend Of mine will remem-
Der that the slanderous statements
in this recent vile pamphlet Of the
governor are made by man who
has REFUSED my many invita-
tions for a joint campaign. Yes,
even refused to meet me in his
home town. He feared to make
these statements while | was pres
ent to answer. He has played the
part of a back-biter and political
coward.
During the closing days Of this
fight let every friend of mine stand
as a sentinel to guard against the
many corruptine influences within
the reach of a man who is willing
to pay for an Office ten times as
much as Its salary amounts to
Look out for another vile pam
phlet, teemins with vicious un-
truths, circulated just before the
close; look out for the influences of
the subsidized press and the paid
pluggers at the polls. II you will
do this the battle Is WON. The
prevailing sentiment throughout
this state Is that TWO TERMS for
governor Is enough, especially when
one bases his candidacy for d third
term upon the existence Of evil
agencies with which he ADMITS he
has been unable to cope,
The present governor In his own
speeches, admits that he has been
unable to overcome the gangs" he
talks 50 much about, and that he
did not keep a saloon out of the

Answer TO- Vicious Pamphlet

purpose was u uelcdl tilO Poooooo
of bill appropriatins about $o0o,-
100000 to complete the capitol, lie
was insisting that no change be
made in the original contract, and
that no additional appropriation be
made. He said:
Don't change your present plans.
Don't authorize any work done IN
til the present contract is complct-
ed. If you do you will surely throw
away the money the state needs so
badly right at this moment"
But he changed the plans, dis
charged the contractors, and after
wards got the appropriation he YVES
at this time opposing. Surely for
once he was a prophet, for money
the state so badly needs has been
spent.
In 1905 he said at the democrat
ic convention at Hot Springs that
he could complete the capitol for
$25O,OOO.OO.
In 1907 he said the original con-
tract price of $947,S46.00 was ade-
quate for building the capitol.
When a candidate in 1908 ne
said he would complete the capitol
in twelve months for $400,00000.
In 1909, when governor, he spent
$695,000.00 in addition to, the use
of large number Of convicts.
In 1911 he attempted to get the
legislature to authorize an INTER
EST-BEARING INDEBTEDNESS Of
$672,000.00 to use in completing
the capitol Truly there is SOME
THING wrong somewhere.
Before Governor Donaghey's ad-
vent into the political field man
of ordinary means could make a
race for governor, because the use
of large sums Of money had not
been the practice. He has used
thousands upon thousands Of de-.
lals in his former campaigns and
will do the same this time. Upon
his great fortune is based the hope
of his friends. He has subsidized
the press and corrupted citizenship.
Is the governors office for SALEY
If so, why not put it up to the
highest bidder and let the proceeds
90 to the state treasury? Whenev-
er public Offices become CONNER
cialized MEN WHO BUY WILL
SELL This practice should be re-
sented by every ambitious and in
dustrious young man, and every
man who is the proud father Of a
promising son, Unless 1t is done
the door Of hope is forever closed
against every man OF average
means. He boasts of a great for
tune and extensive gifts to educa-
tional and benevolent purposes, yet
it is a matter Of history that he al
lowed the legislature to pay $4,000
out Of crippled treasury for HIS
pictures to hang on the walls of the
House and Senate, and then vetoed
the appropriation for the INDECENT
blind and deaf children, assigning
as his reason, a lack of state funds.
Why did he not include these indi-
gent blind and deaf children In his
gifts for educational purposesY

Goods OF
Quality

GOODS OF Quality are the only
kind worth while. That's the kind
we sell. When you buy cheap
goods you are taking chances. The
only reason some goods are cheap
is because they are not worth
much :. :. :.
WE sell nothing that we cannot
guarantee in every respect. We
rely upon t h e satisfaction our
goods give our cust0mes to keep
all our old customers and get some
new ones also. :. =. :.
WE buy our goods from those man
ufacturers whose products have
won a reputation purely on their
merits. When you buy here you
take no chances-The goods are
guaranteed both by the manufac-
turer and by us to be worth the
price paid. :. :. :.

Hour Period-Was Thir-.

Weather conditions underwent a
hours, and as n result of the constant
dropping Of the temperature during
the night, it was thirty-two degrees
below zero at z O'Clock this morning.
The highest Friday was fourteen de-
grees above zero, making q change Of
forty-six degrees in eighteen hours.
Cloudiness tonight would mean a
slightly higher temperature, while Il
clear sky might send the temperature
down as low as it was this morning.
The sudden cold spell of the night
was general throughout the northwest,
and was caused by the absolute clear
ness of the sky. The drop was also in
accord with prediction of the weather
bureau made Friday.
The result of the sudden drop has
been to increase the demands made
on the coal dealers.
Says it Will Warm Up.
Director Howard Il. Simpson be-
lieves there will be warmer weather
for Grand Forks Sunday, the forecast
being for snow and milder. He looks
to see 1t warm up before morning. At

DENY SIMPSON STATEMENTS
Dickinson Senator Has Not Made An.
nounccmcnt of His Political
Intentions.

Statements accredited to Senator
Leslie Simpson of Stark county as
bearing upon his political intentions,
enlinating from Bismarck, arc denied
in the following statement by the
Tribune Of hat city:
THE reports which were circulated
about tho city and in the hotel lob
bies following the. recent visit of SEN
ator Leslie A. Simpson of Dickinson at
the state capital, that he would not be
a candidate for congress-. and that he
would support the candidacy of Mr..
Blaisdell, have been proven to be
mere JUNIORS. Mr.. Simpson, who re-
turned to Dickinson from Boston on
January 4 came tos Bismarck, Tues
day to attend to, purely business mat
tiers. While in the city he naturally
visited with many of his friends, but
runlored remarks Of his regarding his
candidacy were what their name sig
nif1es-rumors, n rumors only. Mr..
Simpson did not give him utterance.
"Now while Senator Simpson is a
good friend of Mr.. Blaisdell of Minot,
he did not say that he would support
the candidacy Of the latter for con-
gresham of the Third congressional
district, nor did Mr.. Simpson state
that he, himself, would not be a cam
didate for this office. Furthermore.
Mr.. Simpson was credited with the as
sertion that he would probably con-
tent himself with a campaign for re-
election to the North Dakota senate.
This Mr.. Simpson may not do. as he
has stated elnphatically that in all
probability he will not be a candidate
for the senate this year" =

SEEKS TO PLACE THE
LOSS ON DULUTH
COMPANY
Determining Liability
Growing Out of Fraud
Pending

The liability Of the Grain Produce
Elevator company of Duluth in con-
nection with the losses sustained by
the departure from Mimic last summc
of Thomas Elliott. former agent of
the company in hat city. will be de-
termined by an action which will be
tried in the district court of Walsh
county neX week, and which involves
approximately $4,000. The case was
scheduled to start today but was de-
layed.
Thomas Elliott was engaged in tho
grain business at Mimic and decamped,
leaving several farmers of that district
facing heavy losses. They held stor-
tickets but no chance to redeem
them, II as a result they nave at
tempted to place the liability on the
Grain Produce Elevator company of
Duluth. for which Elliott was former
ly employed.
The officials of that company con-
tend that Elliott was not in their cm-
ploN at the time. and that in using
their storage tickets he was without
authority to do SO.
The defendant claims that Elliott
WAS in the grain business on his W
rcSponSihilitN.

TOUR OF OHIO

Washington. Jan. 26.-President
Taft tomorrow will leave Washington
on Il five days trip that will take him
to New York and Cleveland. Columbus
and Akron, Ohio. the most important
journey. in the eyes of many of his
friends, that he has planned since he
got back to the White House from the
west.
Tonight. the president still was suf-
fering from a cold he contracted early
in the winter. but it vas said it WAS
not serious enough to make him break
engagements made MANY weeks ago
In New York, the president will be
the guest e night of his brother.
Henry w. Taft. and will attend three
dinners and n ball. but his political
advisers are less interested in this part
of the trip than in his first visit to
Ohio since the Cincinnati elections last
November.
Taft will spend three days in his
home state, make over q dozen
speeches, and probably see many po-
litical caders. He will not talk about
any of his political opponents. it was
said tonight. but may review achieve
ments of his administration.

Man NEAR DEATH
Aged Resident Fell Into Pit and Par.

From Tumble

Cavalier Chronicle: j. NJ. Walker
of Drayton. who was here last week
visiting his son Edward. and who re.
turned home on the Saturday. evening
train, met with a serious accident on
arrival at his home town that evening.
Before reaching the station the n. p.
train made it's accustomed stop for
coal and water. To make a short cut
to town, as many do, Mr.. Walker got
off the train and started to walk
around the coal dock. In the dark he
went too close to the dock and I'M
knowingly walked off into the pit of
the elevator, dropping some twelve
feet. In the fall he was considerably
bruised and also sustained thereby par

NEW REGULATION TO
COVER TELEGRAPH
COMPANIES
Must Notify When Mes
sages Arrive If Addressee
Can Be Reached
UNIFORMITY IN
TOLL RATES NEXT
Two Commission Officers to
Compile Schedule of the
Charges at Once
UNIFORMITY IN
TOLL RATES NEXT

Telegraph companies operating in
North Dakota will be compelled to
comply with IL new rule covering the
question of delivering kilograms as
a result of the action of tho state
railroad commission in Bismarck this
week. Secretary Thomas Hall of the
board was in Grand Forks Friday
morning on his way to Grafton where
he has been s%ubpoenaed as a witness
In a case which comes up next week,
but which was scheduled to come up
today.
The rule that is proposed requires
telegraph companies to give notice to
the addrcssee of the arrival OF a tcle-
gram at II earliest possible moment
when the address of the pa.ty is
known. Such notice must be made
by telephone unless tho telegram can
be delivered by messenger within thir-
tN minutes. 1T was the decision of the
board to outline the rule in ques-
ton and submit it to the several COM
panics and unless they a show good
reasons why it should not 80 into CT
feet, then it will be adopted.
Uniform Rates Proposed
Uniformity i'm the rates of telegraph.
telephone and express companies was
also approved by the board and Sec
rotary Hall and Rate Expert Little
have been instructed to draw up Il
schedule of rates which may be made
to apply.
On the telephone question these
rate schedules will have particularly
to do with the toll charges on which
it is charged that there arc tho great
est differences.
The trouble is brought about
through the rates of independent and
so-called mutual or farmers lines and
the board will seek to remedy the con-
dition.
The boards officers have already
done a considerable amount of work
OH this subject and it will be a mat
are ready to submit their findings.
Protest Was Denied
The board has also made a decision
with reference to the protest that was
made by several Cass county farmers
relative to the remoNal by the Great
Northern of several miles of track.
The protest was denied. as the board
had not been notified by the railroad
that there was my intention of moving
the line in question and it was also
deemed proper. should the railroad
new proposed mileage would do much
more good.
A rule on this question was also
adopted by the railroad commission
and provides that in cases where the
railroads desire to remove track they
must give notification of the fact to
the board at least sixty days prior to
the time they a remove, and they
must also give their reasons. That
will afford an opportunity to file pro-
test. if any protest there be.
The railroads must also file blue
prints of the changes sought to be
made,
