THE LOVE OF A FIGHT

was ammunition for Taft.
THE LOVE OF A FIGHT
As the contest warmed up, likewise
the TWO leading gladiators. the great
American public. keen TO sense ana 10
enjoy Il good fight, began TO take real
interest The president and the COLO
mel began business without serious
blows. Like couple of pugilists they
SPARED with each other, watching out
for Il promising opening. This KIND oil
sport soon palled on the colonel, ana
he commenced letting out steam. The
strenuous colonel began to annoy the
urbane Taft, and the growing uncer-
tainty of the outcome in the contest
for the nomination began to annoy
them both.
And then-bif, bang.- something
happened.
1t was late in April when President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt opened up
on each other good and strong. The
president. speaking in Springfield,
Mass. dropped the famous Taft smile.
and as his face flushed with anger he
declared that his back was against the
wall and that If there was spark of
manhood in him he could do nothing
| but fight The co.onerS criticisms had
Stuns him 10 the quick.
! From then on neither the president
nor the colonel hesitated in engaging
i'm further personalities. and they both
have kept ut ii hammer and tongS.

East Grand Forks
WILL Be.
ASKED TO QUIT RACE

st. Paul. Aug. IA big petition
requesting Governor Eberhart to with
draw from the subernatorial race and
leave the field to three progressive
candidates, Young. Lee and Gordon. is
the latest suggestion in the complicat-
ed gubernatorial situation. 1t has
been suggested that the committee of
fifty, to be appointed soon by j. F.
jacobson. direct the circulation of Pc
tions in each county asking Mr.. Eber-
hart to withdraw.
The prOgresSiNes urging such action
declare that Governor Eberhart's af-
filiation with Taft makes his election
difficult, even though he be able to
land the nomination, They urge the
circulation of petitions to ascertain
Just how great the sentiment is
against the governor and also to as
certain what men in each county will
work for the success of the progress
sive ticket.
Some believe I. A. Caswell would he
an excellent person to handle the cir
culation of these petitions.
Situation is Critical.
The present time is the most critical
in the ~gllbernatorial campaign, and re.
publicans who believe the present sit
uation. unless relieved, will lead ulti-
mately to a delivery of the state adj
ministration YER to the democrats
are urging all kinds of remedies. To
date, Mr.. Caswell has taken no active
part In any of the problems now con-
fronting the progressives.
j. F.. jacobson was asked over the
long distance telephone today what he
thought of the proposition of the cons
mittee of fifty circulating the petitions
requestion Governor Eberhart to with
draw. He refused to give his views,
but said that he has picked some
members on the committee and will
announce the complete body early
next week.
This committee will have charge of
the circulation of the petitions to get
the anne of the Roosevelt electors
selected at the mass convention on the
ballot. 1t will be one of the most inn
portant political committees ever Sc
lected in the state.
To Conduct State Campaign.
The committee will arrange for the
reception of Colonel Roosevelt in Min
nesota and conduct the campaign of
publicity in his behalf. 1t is planned
to take a hand in the primary fight
for state offices and some important
political developments are expected
when this committee holds it's first
meeting.

DANIEL
WITH SLASHING HIS
BROTHER-IN-LAW

Jacob Daniel. who has been residing
east of town for some time past, was
arrested this morning, charged with
attacking his brother-in-law, Joseph
Mailman, with a razor.
According to Waltiman's story, DAN
iel came to town yesterday and on his
return suddenly became Infatuated and
chased the women in the house to the
Guinness farm nearby. He then at
tackled Mailman and gave him quite
a severe clash on the nose with the
razor. and also struck him across the
knuckles. Waltiman. who had a pitch
fork in his hand, did not use it, but
instead grappled with Daniel. took
him down I'M then called Mrs. Waltz
man, Daniels sister, to disarm her
brother.
The defendant was arraigned be-
fore Judge Rasmussen and his hear
ing set for Tuesday morning. He was
remanded to Jail in default of $500
bond.

foreigners ask for it. The legislature
OF n OF the greatest grain states of
the union has repeatedly passed a res
olution asking for it. Those who ere
charged with the misuse Of the au-
thority and power placed in their
hands under the present system are
the only ones opposing this leg;sla-
ton"
Senator McCumber points to the
Ease or a certain Minnesota terminal
elevator which in three months re-
ceiNed 99,711 bushels of No. / north
ern and shipped out 19e.2Ss bushels
OF tho same grade. During the same
time this elevator received 141.i55
bushels of No. 2 northern and shipped
out 467,7S4 bushels. AT the same time
it received about $500 o bushels of
No. 4, no grade and rejected grain
ard shipped out none.
Tho foregoing is the ease which
those who oppose federal inspection
n.ust meet. and, as stated at the be-
ginning of this article, it seems likely
that the contest will get under wav
next winter.
senator McCumber says during the
past two or three Years conditions
nave been much improved, so far as
me grain producer is concerned.
Ihere is a greater disposition to give
MN a square deal" in Minneapolis
and the other terminal markets and
IT recognizes that he has certain rights.
Ihis improved condition, however, did
not manifest itself until after the agi-
.aton Tor federal inspection had heen
begun. Senator McCumber is not sat
lshed with this Improvement. for in
ms opinion the principle underlying
the present system of inspection is all
wrong. and it would be possible at any
moment for a return to be made to
the old conditions. The only s%atisfac-
tory remedy. in his Judgment, is fed
eral inspection, and therefore it is his
purpose to work increasingly for tie
enactment of the pending legislation.

Bad Accident.

Pembina Pioneer Express: Another
auto accident happened Sunday when
Bawlf's big six-cylinder Packard ran
into the railing Of the bridge over the
Pembina river and caused a delay UNI
til next morning. The Bawlfs went
through Sunday morning on a run to
Grand Forks and While returning
about Q O'Clock in the evening it rain
ed a brisk shower which made the
roads very slippery. With considera-
BILE difficulty they reached town, but as
they were approaching the bridge
from the south the car slowed around
and struck h approach and the
front wheels extended over an m
bankment of ten feet. They were
running about four miles an hour and
had no chains on. When the car, an
$4,000 Packard, was lacked up, it pro
ceeded on it's journey with only a
cracked windshield to show it had met
with an accident.

FARGO WANTS COUNTRY CLUB.
Leading Boosters There Would
Organize and Buy Grounds.

Fargo, N. D.. Aug. 17.-one of the
things which Fargo people have felt
the need Of for some time is a town
and country club and there seems to
be no reason why the scheme which
has been set forth by Miss Ellie Rea,
who is pushing the project. should not
he a splendid success. The c. l.. But
ties farm which has been recently Of
fered for sale is an ideal spot for the
club house and is situated a mile and
a half south of town on the bank of
the Red river.
The farm is of easy access and the
roads south of the city are always
good as there is no alkali in the soil.
Perhaps the only Improvement for the
present which will be required is a
large porch, otherwise the house
seems to meet the requirements of the
proposed scheme. Seven or eight miles
OF the river bank adjoining the Buttles
farm are ideal for the use Of pleasure
parties and the grounds offer excel
lent provision for golf. tennis and n
OF the other popular out or door
sports. Alittle later arrangements can
be made for the popular country club
lunches and dinners.

FEDERAL GRAIN INSPECTION
TO Be URGED LATER
CONTINUED from page ~


solve all doubts in favor of the termi-
nal purchaser.
1T has been suggested that the
adoption Of federal inspection would
lead to a double system, but this is
not the case. Ninety per cent of the
grain handled at the great terminals
is interstate grain. and no board of
trade or state would attempt to con-
tinue its inspection system over the
remaining 10 per cent.
Meat Inspection Cited.
Under u present system of meat
inspection all meat at the packing
houses is inspected by the government
without regard to whether il is intend
ed for domestic or foreign use. The
packers desire this for their own pro-
lection. If the government can do this
for the packers, it certainly should
not refuse to inspect and grade the
other ten per cent of interstate grain
at these terminals. This would do
away with state inspection.
IAN the grain producers in the
northwest desire this legislation, as
do all the independent grain dealers.
