ANXIOUS APPEAL IS BEING MADE
TO DEVILS LAKE POLICE DE.
PARTNENT FOR LOST BOYS.

"Just imagine it was your own son,
whom you had not seen for years." is
the way one mother writes to the chief
of police in an effort to locate her mis-
sing boy. This epistle, accompanied
by another Of the same mission, was re-.
ceived here last night. One bereave&
one lives in Toronto, Canada, and the,
other in Quincy, Illinois.
The last heard of Robert JAMESON
was when he was in Devils Lake eight
years ago. He was compelled to ]eave
his mother when he was young on &C
count of her being unable to support
the family. Since then she has re-
married and is anxious to find her boy.
Anyone in the city knowing of lis
whereabouts should notify the chief
of police.
The other young man who is missing
is Albert Ruder. He left his homo in,
Quincy three years ago and said liz was
going to Devils Lake, stating that COW
life was not what it was supposed to
be. The mother heard her boy was
shot and killed here but does not think
it the case. Anyone knowing anything
about Ruder should notify the chief.

THE HANDWRITING ON THE
WALL,

One of the significant Indications
that the Taft organization is falling 70
pieces is the large number of congress.
men who are coming out for Roosevelt.
If there is any class of politicians
statesmen, if you want to convert facts
into dignity-who are forced to keep
in touch with all conditions of politi-
cal opinion it is the members of the
house. With their election every two
years, they must know the sentiment
of the voter at home, else they will be
defeated. They must at the same
time keep close to the president lest
he and his machine cut off the supply
of patronage; and to destroy that
would be to destroy the means of con-
Quoting an effective campaign at home.
The congressman political life de-
ponds largely on standing in with the

foundations of the government has
played politics from his office. The

ROOSEVELT PETITIONS.

If anything were needed to prove the
overwhelming preponderance of Roose-
welt sentiment in this state, the re-
port from Valley City as to the un
animity with which Republicans signed
the petition to place his name on the
presidential primary preference bal
lot to be voted on March 10, ought to
be complete answer. Our information is
that in a few hours over two hundred
signatures were secured and there was
not a single refusal. We do not be-
lieve such a thing would have been
possible with the most popular candi-
date in the history of the Republican
party, except Theodore Roosevelt.
More than sixteen hundred petitions
are now in circulation to secure sigma.
lures to place his name on the North
Dakota ballot. They are in every
voting precinct in the state and wa
doubt if there is precinct that will
not have goodly number of names on
the honor roll. Theodore Roosevelt,
unless conditions change between this
and the national Republican conven-
ton, will be the next president of the
United States. Ii will be a matter
of pride for any Republican to point
to his signature on Roosevelt petition
and say he was one Of those who helped
give his candidacy tangible form in
Moth Dakota.
But Republicans must not be salts
fed with signing Roosevelt petitions
They are essential and necessary in
order that the Republicans of the state
may have chance to vote for him as
their choice for president Then it is
essential that every Republican who
favors Roosevelt go to the polls on
March 10 and vote for him, and for a
set of delegates to the national con-
vention who will carry out the will of
the people in supporting Roosevelt in
that convention not mechanically be-
cause they have to, but enthusiastical-
ly because they want to.
There are some difference of opinion
as to the rights and powers of the
delegates under the North Dakota law.
The law makes no provision for them
voting for any candidate except the one
receiving the highest number of votes
in the March election. Our view is shat
the law can not be stretched to cover
conditions upon which it is silent, any
more than the law against larceny can
be stretched to exempt a MAJ who
steals food when he is hungry. He may
be morally excusable, but not legally

THAT THIRD TERM

Should congress pass the resolution
against a presidential third term it
would be acting on subject which is
outside the jurisdiction of congress,
and which is none of the business Of
congress. The constitution of the
United States prescribes the qualifca.
tions of a president, and the condi.
tions under which he may be elected.
It places in the hands of congress au-
thority to provide for the necessary
details concerning the election, and
that is all. Congress has no further
authority. The gentlemen who sit in
the house and senate as the represen.
tatives Of the people at large and of
the states in their sovereign capacity
are there for the purpose of making
laws which are in accord with the ma.
tional constitution. Beyond that they
have no authority. They have right
to their personal opinion as to the mum.
Der of times that one man should hold
the Office Of president, but the national
capitol is not the place for the express
sion of those opinions. In this partic'l.
lar tho honorable gentleman from any
congressional district stands on basis
of exact equality with his humblest
constituent. A resolution was adopt9J
during Grant IS second term against q
presidential third term. Regardless OF
whether or not Grant should have been
renominated, that resolution was out
of place. The subject was one to be
dealt with by the people themselves
and not by congress. Congress has on
ly such power as was given to it by
the people, and the people have nevc,
entrusted it with the right to dccid
whether one man shall be elected presi
dent once, twice, or seven times. il
the people wish to place any limitations
on this subject they have two very sim
pie ways of getting at it. One of thepl
is the obvious one of ceasing to elect
a man after they think he has served
often enough The other is to amend
the constitution by limiting the mum

Either plan would be very effective. Il

BOOSTING FOR TEDDU.

Congressman Hanna is back to North
Dakota on a ten-days' leave of absence
and will put in his best efforts during
that time to launch boom for Theo-
dore Roosevelt as republican favorite
for the presidency. Mr.. Hanna thinks
Roosevelt is the only man who can
harmonic the party and dispel the pc
litical unrest that exists throughout
the state and nation, and he believes
also he will not decline the nomination
if it is rendered him. Congressman
Hanna has prepared Roosevelt petit
lions and will have them circulated
throughout all parts of the state.
Roosevelt enthusiasm seems to be
rapidly developing in all parts of the
nation, and it is evident that the eli
max will be reached in a general STAN
pede for his nomination. - Cavalier

ROOSEVELT HAS NO. OAK.

There is no longer any doubt about
Theodore Roosevelt carrying North Da-
kota at the presidential primary on
March 10. For months it has been evil
dent that the people were determined
to cast their ballots for the man who
belongs to the state by adoption, and
now many prominent men are openly
declaring themselves for the former
president.
People have confidence in Theodore
Roosevelt as they have in no other
man. President Taft lost his hold on
the people Of the United States as soon
as they saw that he was not inclined to
carry out the reform measures started
by his Observation-Disclosures Press.

Others hold that the delegates ar,

so. Others hold that the delegates ar,
at liberty to use judgment; that they
can violate the preference of the pev
pie when they see fit. AS there is no
penalty attached, the delegates woul,
only be morally guilty in any sense
But the danger lies elsewhere.
Suppose delegation composed of
men favorable to President Taft is
elected as delegates, but the majority
of the people are for Roosevelt. Those
Taft delegates, under the law, woul'l
have to vote for Roosevelt, but they
would do so listessly and mechanical, !.
and the effect on the convention would
be much like sleeping under wet hlan

delegates were enthusiastic Roosevelt.
men at heart and the preference Of the
state was for him, any one who ever
saw convention in session knows that
the spirit of enthusiasm would spread
from the North Dakota section to the
sections where other state Delegations
were seated and would have a rally

the cause of Roosevelt.

ROOSEVELT, PEOPLES CHOICE.

lAOShoo Ho1 LII - SAOAShs
AS an original Roosevelt paper it
affords the Journal qualification to
note statewide movement has been
inaugurated to send a delegation to
the national convention pledged to use
all honorable means to secure Mr.. Roo
sevelt's nomination for the presidency
This move was neither brought about
by interests inimical to President Taft,
nor to "kill off, Mr.. LaFollette, as
his admirers would have you believe,
it has its genesis in the admiration
and love felt for an honest man whose
patriotism, sound sense and sturdy
independence in various trying posi-
tions, including the presidency, won
for him the esteem and respect of the
whole nation. Good old Teddy! 1t
would be sorry day for American
manhood, a sad commentary on the age,
did not men like Roosevelt incite faith
and enthusiasm. That Roosevelt
move in this state should arouse zeal
and gain impetus is not surprising. We,
for one. believe did n.r. Roosevelt make
open declaration he was a candidate
the pent-up flood of popular acclaim
would sweep aside the present Republi-
can candidates for nomination, and lat
er land him in the executive mansion
by overwhelming majorities. Primarily,
the Roosevelt move is mere tribute
to the man-that is its strength, though
admittedly swollen by far-seeing party
leaders who are aware that Mr.. La
Toilette cannot possibly win the nomin-
alton, and are uneasy respecting the
issue Of election with Mr.. Taft again
the standard bearer. What more natur-
al than they should turn to Roosevelt
as the party's saviors He who both
initiated the progressive movement and
made Mr.. Taft PRESIDENT It would
indeed be happy solution to the puz-
cling and preearious future that con-
fronts the Republicans nationally at
this time. Nominate Roosevelt and
the shout of relief and enthusiasm from
a united and confident party would roll
from ocean to ocean.-Ryder Journal.

Minneapolis Journal: The Journal
has received 5000 votes on it's frs.
choice presidential poll. The third,

spond in sufficient number to "poip.

1000 in those districts for an expires.
sion, and the poll will be kept open
until Friday, when final publication
will be made.
Theodore Roosevelt leads for the re-
publicans in nearly every district, with
La Toilette second and Taft third.
Wilson leads mainly in the democratic
poll. All classes of voters have re-
sponded. The only uncertain factor is
as to whether Taft men in the fifth
district have voted relatively with the
Roosevelt and La Toilette followers If
the Taft men in Hennepin feel that the
above showing is not representative
they have the opportunity for three
days to send in their votes.
Voters from any part OF the state,
of any political belief, are invited to
send in their first choice for president
and all received up to Friday morning
will be counted in the summary.
The results have been kept by con-
gressional districts, and in this way an
interesting light is thrown on the drift
of public opinion. This tabulation will
be kept and other votes added as they
come in, up to Friday morning. The
interest taken in national politics is
high for such an early stage of the
campaign.
Roosevelt Has 40 Per Cent.
The Roosevelt vote, 2,4ss, is almost
exactly 40 per cent of the total cast
to date, which is 6,o04. The LaFollette
vote is &c per cent and the Taft vote
comes to 81 per cent. The democratic
vote is comparatively small. Wilson
has clear majority over all other dem
ocratic candidates combined, and it is
significant that Bryan stands second
ahead Of Champ Clark, who runs poor
third, while Harmon is in the ruck with
only 80 votes, half of them from the
third congressional district.
Roosevelt is the leading candidate in
the first, second, third, fifth, eighth and
ninth districts, and runs even with La
Toilette in the fourth. La Toilette has
the edge in the sixth and seventh dis.
tricts. Taft leads La Toilette in the
third and fifth districts and is even
with him in the first. Wilson leads
all democratic candidates in every dis
trict but the eighth, which curiously
shows up for Clark, on light vote.
Returns are meagre from the fourth
which is the St. Paul district, and also
rather light from the third and eighth
districts, and special efforts. are being
made by the Journal to get more Of

The table as given shows all the
votes cast SO far except three. There
was one vote for Oscar W. Underwood
and one for Victor L. Berger in the 5th
district, and one for Chief Justice
