attoFnay general has wobbled, VIII be
required tc go ahead as. the Law ppo-
Vides.
We are ne5 now inauirina into the
reasons which may have prompted
the line of action taken by the legal
department ef the state: but ID is diff
hcut to see why anyone who believes
IL square deal In politics should oh
ject to the law. 1t merely compels the
voter to keep within his own party
when helping to make nominations In
that party. Certainly no one can hon-
estly claim that a republican has any
right to say whom the democrats will
nominate; nor has any democrat any
honest right to say whom the repubH-
cans shall nominate. The application
OF the law enforces, except with those
who commit perjury by swearing they
belong to the opposite party, this reg
niation, The attorney general held the
law invalid. and he must not have had
very sound opinion in the matter or
been Influenced by sems extra ofieial
reason. There is q decided difference
in lawyers opinion in q case In which
the application OF the law TO certain
facts to be established in the trial is
concerned and the ofaeial opinion Of
an officer when such opinion has the
legal power OF direct legislat tion-vof re-
pealing the acts OF the properly cou-
stituted lawmaking body.

EdgeIey Mail: C. A. Johnson OF
Minot. twice defeated as a stalwart
candidate for governor, now as a pro-
gressive candidate for the same ONCE,
is about as big joke as he was be-
fore. He should stay home and run
for alderman--that is more to his size.

Hannah Noon: The insurgent trick
to discredit l.. B. Hanna's candidacy
for governor by springing boom for
c. A. Johnson does not seem to be
working out well. Under the primary
law il Johnson wishes to run there is
no power to prevent him, but the
statement issued by the boomers that
there is a general demand for him to
run is not true. The rank and file of
the republican party are well satisfied
with Mr.. Hanna for gubernatorial
honors and are not searching for new
timber. Hanna is not losing any
ground as .Roosevelt's popularity is
developing.

Rugby optimist: We are pleased tt
acknowledge receipt of another con.
gressional district map" from Geo. M
Young of Valley City. This makes
about the fourth map Geo. M has sen
us-but if he thinks that this papel
intends to accept maps in exchange
for political advertising-he has an.
other guess coming.

Milton Globe: The entrance of c. A..
Johnson of Minot into the republican
gubernatorial race complicates mat
ters somewhat. This move plainly
shows that there is certain political
gang that will endeavor to oust Mr..
Hanna at whatever cost. This move
is simply trick to defeat man who
is today one of the most popular in the
state. 1t is the old Aaker trick all
over--jeopardizing the best interests
of the party in trying simply to defeat
one man. The old gang knows that
Hanna is practically certain of being
nominated, and they are trying every
means in their power to throw votes
for some other man, it matters not
who. The gang knows that Mr.. Han
ma has left them-and this is their
move to get even. Now draw your
! own conclusions.

with Mr. Hanna for gubernatorial
honors and are not searching for new
timber. Hanna is not losing any
ground as .Roosevelts popularity is
developing.
Ross News; Mr.. Hanna--who seeks
the republican nomination for govern
or-is a man of public and political
experience through his long services in
both branches of the legislature and
congress, and ideally qualified to give
North Dakota an efficient and econom-
ieal business administration. The peo-
pie of this state recognize his ability
and competence. and we do not stop to
hesitate in predicting his nomination
at the June primaries.
Forman News: For the third time
C. A. Johnson of Minot is in the field
as a republican candidate for govern
or-this time as a progressive. 1t is
only pertinent to say, however, that
that class of progressives of which
Frank Packard is an ostensible leader
distrust Johnson and will not vote for
him-wrile on the other hand, the
stalwarts of the state who loyalty sup
ported Johnson in both of his previous
campaigns do not think his personal
ity sufficiently al1uring to gain him the
nomination in the coming primary
Still, johnson will get quite bunch Of
votes. 1t will be remembered that he
only lacked about 1,450 votes of defeat
ing John Burke in the fall election
two years ago, and had he carried his
home county of Ward would have de.
| feated the great and only John. Il
will also be remembered that Fyles Of
| Milnor supported Burke.
Hazelton Republican: Though twiet
| defeated by democrat in the cam.
paign for governor, and with two re.
publican candidates already in the
| field, C. A. Johnson of Minot has agar
thrown his hat in the ring, and agar
has hopes of becoming the governor o
this great state of North Dakota. II
the past two campaigns Mr.. johnson
ran as stalwart but 1T is understood
4 that he now assumes conversion ant
1 is running as a progressive. Hai
someone induced him to become {
| goat for Hanna with the hope Of di
viding the Buchanan vote?

Press Comment

Mandan Pioneer: c. A. Johnson has
again entered the gubernatorial race.
He now has his petitions out over the
state securing signers. 1t is stated on
good authority that he is appealing to
the insurgents this time. as ii, is said
that he became inoculated with the
LaFollette virus during the presiden-
tial primary.
The insurgents, of course. have a
candidate in A. Buchanan. Many
Of the insurgents, it is understood, are
not particularly satisfied with Buchan-
an, however. but whether they rush to
Johnson or not is another question.
Rugby Optimist: Peeping Pat was
peeved because he couldn't land the
endorsement of the progressives at
Fargo Of his congressional aspirations.
The progressives aren't altogether
foolish--which is evidenced by their
promptness in getting rid of the dead
and down timber within their con-
fines, when they have a chance to
WELD the axe.

Senate Committee
Is Still Undecided
On Cuban Affairs

Varying opinions as to the effect of
Intervention in Cuba were expressed at
the meeting of the Senate Committee
on Cuban Relations today for the con-
sideration of the Bacon resolution re-
quiring the committee to report whether
additional legislation Is needed to pro-
vide the necessary machinery for in
tervention. Senator Bacon has pointed
out to the Senate that while this coun-
try has the right Of Intervention, the
law does not say what official shall say
when to intervene, nor are there any
provisions of law prescribing Just how
Intervention shall be brought about and
carried out.
Some of the members Of the commit
tee thought the right of this country to
intervene in Cuba was undoubted.
Others thought war would result from
Intervention in the present situation.
However, the members of the commit
tee felt the fact should be emphasized
that the matter before the committee
does not concern the present trouble
specifically, but is general, and in
tended to make provision for any diff
Guilty that may arise and may seem to
require Intervention.
Chairman Page was directed to con-
fer with the President, Secretary Knox.
and the judge advocate general of the
army with reference to the legislation
needed, and whether there was any
objection to the Senate taking the at
ter up at this time; that Is, whether
taking 1t up would tend to embarrass
Cuban and American relations.

Right to Intervene
Given in Treaty
Concluded in 1908

The Government of the United States
finds its legal right to intervene in the
affairs of Cuba in the third article of
the Squiers de Zaldo treaty concluded
May 22, 1903. The sending of a naval
force to the island, however, Is dis
tinguished from actual Intervention, the
latter implying the assumption of politi-
cal control for period by the United
States.
The treaty in which this article oc-
ours provides against the acquisition
Of land by foreign powers for COLOMBIA
ton, military and naval purposes. re-
stricts the public debt of Cuba. pro-
vides for Intervention by the United
States, ratifies American acts and
rights acquired during its military oc-
cupation, and provides for the sale or
lease to the United States of suitable
coaling or naval bases.
The third article reads:
THE government Of Cuba consents
that the United States may exercise the
right to intervene for the preservation
of Cuban independence. the maintenance
of government adequate to the pro-
lection of it's property, and individual
liberty, and for discharging the obliga-
tions with respect to Cuba imposed by
the treaty of Paris on the United States
