sity at Christiania, Norway, and will
deliver there two lectures on eco
nomic subjects. This engagement
il made in response to an invitation
from Doctor Bredo Morgenstierne,
rector of that institution. Taken to.
gether with the recognition accorded
to the University of North Dakota
last fall in inviting Professor John
Tinglestad, her professor Of Scandi-
navian languages to represent the in.
stitution at their centennial celebra.
ton, this invitation is suggestive OF
the fact that very cordial relations
exist between the old home land and
the new one where so many sons
and daughters of Norway have set
tied.
The problem on which President
McVey expects to spend most OF his
time while in Holann, Germany and
Denmark is the organization of agri-
culture credit as it has been worked
out by the farmers of those countriesc
Particularly in Germany, the farmers
have been very successful in solving
some of the difficult financial prob
lens connected with agricultural
growth and development. Similarity
of conditions makes their methods
applicable to North Dakota problems.
Valuable contributions to actual farm
ing methods have already brought
over to this country from the farm
ers of the old world and added light
on the economic side will prove valu-
able.
The cities of Germany lead the
world in municipal efficiency and in
the planning and administration of
public utilities. To the students of
these problems, they offer a fruitful
field for investigation and President
McVey expects to spend six weeks
of his time in Germany alone, looking
into these matters. Sewage disposal
is one of the most serious problems
confronting North Dakota cities and
I villages, for SIRENS are scarece and
drainage is poor. Many of the small
Ter solutions of the problem will
prove suggestive. The years that he
spent as a student and a teacher OF
political science and economics will
! serve President McVey in good stead
in following up these special lines Of
investigation.
Data and information on the ad-
ministration of educational systems
and particularly of higher institutions
of learning will be gathered which
will be made use of by the Educa-
tional Commission, created by the last
legislature. In the report which this
commission is to present to the next
legislature will be certain recommen-
dations regarding the unifying and
systematizing of the education.system
of the state, and the information on
which to this report is to be based is
being collected from many sources.
European experience will prove a
valuable addition. President McVey
expects to be away practically all
summer, but will be back at the uni
versity in time for the beginning OF
the regular session in September.

Direct Primary Election

The Direct Primary Law was enact
ed because OF the dissatisfaction which
existed among the voters with the
method of nominating candidates
through delegates selected at~cau-
cuses.
1t was believed by the voters that
they had no voice in naming dele
gates in the caucuses. They offered
as an excuse for not attending the
caucuses the reason that the social
ed bosses" had the list of delegates
all prepared and had their friends
and supporters at the causases in
such numbers that the lists SO pre-
sented were approved.
The present law was passed in or
der that each voter might by his bal
lot express his preference for men to
become the candidates of his party.
Those who opposed the enacting of
such law urged as one of the reasons
in opposition that the voters would
not come to the polls to vote in the
primary elections.
If the law is to be made effective

BurIeigh a Vote Getter.

The Republican party of this State
desires not only to nominate, but to
elect, a United States Senator, Gov
ernor Burleigh's record as vote get
ter surpassess that of any other single
individual in the State of Maine He
is pre-eminently a man of the people
and has a strong and permanent grip
on their affections.
In 1897 Governor Burleigh was
chosen at a special election Repre-
sentative to Congress from the Third
Congressional District to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Hon.
Seth l.. Milliken. Since that time
he has been continuously reelected
to that position until the Democratic
landslide in 1910 which swept every
thing in his District before it. Even
then he largely led his ticket, Cover
nor Plaisted's plurality being 2651
while Mr.. Gould's plurality over Mr.
Burleigh was but 1889, a reduction OF
1862 votes in the Democratic plurality
Hundreds of voters in his District
who cast a straight Democratic ballot
have since expressed their regret and
sorrow at his defeat, which neither
they nor anybody else anticipated
The following record speaks eloquent
ly for itself.

Yours very truly,
ALONZO H. BURSE
A New Kind of Campaigning.

Skowhegan cast just lat straight
Republican votes at the last State
Election. That was the proposition
confronting the new Republican Town
Committee when they stepped into the
shoes of the old war horses who had
been running the party from time i'm
memorial But this new Committee
was made up of young fellows, new
blood, fresh enthusiasm, who had
nothing to lose and all to gain. They
cut loose from all the old tried and
true tactics of the political game.
No HIRED MEN was the first slogan
they adopted Instead of that, every
man agreed to peel off his coat and
do his share of the chores for the love
of the game.
What's the result?
Skowhegan has been walked up,
yanked bodily and violently out of the
"old age pension bed The Republic
cans have turned over new leaf with
big bang. They've stopped depend
ing on the past glories of the Grand
Old Party for present and future vic
tories
Over $50 voters already have en-
rolled as Republicans, more than
twice as many as the other two par
ties put together and more than five
times as many as voted the straight
Republican ticket in 1910!
Right here, We want to say that the
burden of the credit for this work
belongs to the two candidates for
representative, Roy L. Marston and
John w Fogler

CONTESTANTS HAVE SUPPER.
Christian EndeaEOr Society of the
Congregational Church Have a
Pleasant Evening.

AS the result of contest which has
been conducted by the members of
the Christian Endeayor Society of the
Congregational church for some time
for the purpose of bringing out a
larger number of persons to the meet
ings, a supper was served in the
church vestry last Friday evening.
There were four sides to the contest
but owing to the results being a tie,
supper was served by all together,
the committee appointed for that pur-
pose being: Misses Alice Moore, Hell
en- Pratt, Marion Lord and Harold
Larry.
The supper which was of salads,
cold meat. cake and chocolate, was a
very tempting one, and at its conclu-
sion there were toasts, Harold Larry
acting as POSTMASTER. Responses
We're made by Mrs. George Paddock,
Rev. B. B. Merrill, A. Merrill T. O.,
Lord, E. E. Harris, Helen Pratt, Miss
Margaret Smith, and Miss Wynona
Paddock. Onward Christian Sol

the voters must attend on Monday
next at the voting places and there
give in their ballots for the several
candidates. The old saying that
what is eyeryone's business is no
ones business" may prove peculiarly
true in the selection of candidates
under this law
The prediction is now being made
by the best informed men of the State
that the vote ON Monday next will be
very light There is great danger
that the men best fitted to pass upon
the qualification of candidates will be
so taken up with their own affairs as
to neglect their civic duty. Such men
cannot be led to the polls to further
the selfish interests of any candidate.
The result to be feared Is that the
men who seek office from selfish mo-
tiyes will appeal to the irresponsible
voter who has nothing to take up his
attention and will lead him to the
polls to the detriment of society.
The present law makes it possible
for the voter to select the man he de-
sires to become the candidate of his
party with no boss" 10 drive him and
no ring" to eRcircle him.
Voters should use the same business
judgment in selecting candidates 10
serve the state and county that they
exercise in employing men to conduct
their own business affairs.
Mr.. Voter, when a man applies to
you for position do you ask him to
what political party he belongs or do
you even inquire his religious pre-
ference? Is 1t not your purpose to de-
termine whether the applicant is an
honest, faithful. competent servant
or not?
The wrecks of the old party ma
chimes in Somerset County, with their
squeaks and their groans, are still
sending up to the voter the old ap
peal not to vote other than straight
for their regular party" nominees.
The would-be bosses" still seek to
WELD the old whip of party loyalty,
which, under the former regime was
so effective in forcing men to vote for
the party candidates nominated by
the bosses" against the will of the
people They are not aware that this
whip has followed the old lash whip
of stage coach days.
Political parties are necessary un-
der our form of government. Each
party should seek to nominate the
the man best fitted to serve the peo-
pie regardless of political beliefs.
1t is the right as well as the duty,
of every voter to consider well the
qualifications of the several candi-
dates for the offices they seek and
then to satisfy his own conscience in
voting for the man he honestly be-
lieves to be best fitted to become the
servant of the people.

To the Republican Voters of SOmer-
set County.

Before the enactment of the new
Primary Law, we always had an
Eastern Senator and a Western Sena-
tor from this County. But the pres
ent law does not recognize this dis
tinction at all. 1t might easily happen
that both Senators were elected from
Skowhegan or from any other one
town, which would of course be very
unfair and unjust to the rest of the
County Both halves of the County
should by every right have repre-
sentative in the upper branch of the
Legislature.
AS a matter of fact, the Western
half has already five representatives
in the House. and the Eastern half
of the County only two. Now, If both
Senators are elected from the Western
half, it will give that part of the
County seven members of the Legisla-
ture and the Eastern half but two.
This would be not only injustice but
very bad politics from the standpoint
of the Republican party at the Sep
TENDER election.
| am the only candidate for Sena-
tor from the Eastern half of the Coun-
ty, and | appeal to the voters of Som
erset for a square deal for the whole
County.
Yours very truly,

The friends of EX-Goy. Burleigh
who appears to be the leading candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for United States senator, are greatly
pleased over the progress of his can
vass during the past week or ten days
in all sections of the State In an
other column we reprint a clipping
from the Rockland Courier-Gazette,
one Of the leading and most carefully
edited papers in Maine, which eX-
presses the conviction that MIR. Bur-
leigh will surely be nominated. 1t is
needless TO add that the outlook in
Hancock county is favorable to the
popular ex-governor, as it is in other
sections of the State. Maine cannot
do better than to send this tried and
true CongI essman back to Washing
ton.
