support.
Five Columns to Ballot.
In order to best carry out this
idea Mr.. Norton is arranging the
form Of the ballot so that it will con-
sist of FIVE columns. The Republic
can and Democratic candidates will
occupy the first and second columns,
respectively. with the usual party
heading. The third, fourth and nth
columns will be headed Individual
Nominations" and the names of all
candidates nominated by petition
will appear in the columns.

electors and state and congressional

WANT REPEAL OF Ca
MADAM RECIPROCITY
ON RECIPROCITY AND PRI-
MARY NOMINATIONS.

A prosperous Trail county far
mer was caller at the Republican
state headquarters at Fargo recent
Iy. He expressed satisfaction at the
plank in the state platform which
demands the immediate repeal of
the iniquitous Canadian reciprocity
act, which adopts Democratic free
trade, in farm products and thus un-
justly discriminates against the far
mer.
The entire Republican congress
sional delegation at Washington
from this state not only opposed the
passage of this act but used their
utmost efforts during the past ses-
sion to secure it's repeal, both by
special bills and by riders to appro-
priation and tariff measures, so it is
not the fault of North Dakota's SEN
ators and congressman that this
measure remains on the statutes.
The Trail county man further ex-
pressed himself as follows:
in my county we are strong be-
levers in the primary law because
we believe the people know how to
use the primary with judgment, and
that being the case we will stand by
the Republican nominees of the June
primary-because the whole Repub-
lican party then had it's say-rather
than accept bunch of nominations
fixed up by half dozen men, setting
themselves up as bosses after they
had taken part in the same primary.
None of us in Trail county want to
return to the old convention system,
therefore, after the people had made
their selections we see no sufficient
reason for trying to overturn q sys-
TEN which gives government direct
ly into our hands"

AT REPUBLICAN
HEADQUARTERS
FRIENDLY FEELING
FOR HANNA.

missioners w. H. Stutsman and O.
P. N. Anderson, both of whom were
renominated at the Republican pri-
mary in June, have notified the Re-
publican state committee that they
propose to support the Republican
state ticket from top to bottom, and
that they, with their fellow nomi-
nees, elect to have their names ap-
pear in the Republican column on
the ballot at the November election.
The young men of Devils Lake
have taken the lead in starting a
Republican organization for the
younger element of the party. A
Young Mems Republican club has
been, organized there and they will
open their campaign next Friday
evening with a monster banquet and
rally, at which Congressman Hanna
and other leaders will speak. Every
precinct in Ramsey county will be
represented. 1t is expected the
young men of other counties will fol-
low suit in organizing similar clubs.
Geo. w. Wilson, one of the Re-.
publican leaders in the northwestern
part of the state, writes from Stan
ley to Chairman Gray of the Repub-
lican state committee: "Mountrail
county hasn't even a local Democrat
ic ticket in the field. We are work.
ing hard for the Republican ticket
and Il can see no reason why the
whole ticket should not have a
large majority in this county,"
Oscar Herum of Carpio writes Re-
publican headquarters that Mr.. Han
ma is strong candidate for govern
or there.
Henry Hall, the noted Washington
correspondent for the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph, called at Re-
publican headquarters yesterday and
paid compliment to Congressman
Hanna, whom he said was one of the
influential Republican members of
the lower house of congress, and that
he was one of the hardest fighters
against Canadian reciprocity.
c e. Boyden of the Lisbon Free
Press, writes Chairman Gray: There
Is no question but what Hanna will
have good majority for governor
in this county"
Alloys Wartner, one of the leading
attorneys at Harvey, and we'll known
all over the state, writes Chairman
Gray: II feel there will be no ques-
tion about Hanna's election. I am
firmly convinced that of the three
men who are now seeking the Office
of governor that Mr.. Hanna is the
best man in every way, and the best
man of the three to I'LL the govern
or's chair with honor to the state
and to himself. I feel that in the
state We are going to elect our tick
ct from top to bottom, and not only
that, but after we have elected our
candidates they are going to make
good"
N. B. Pinkham of Casselton visit
ed headquarters yesterday and
among other things said that there
had been some Roosevelt sentiment
out that way until the third termers
put up a candidate against Hanna,
but that now practically every one
was working hard for the latter's
election, and Republican sentiment
was growing stronger every day for
the ticket from ton to bottom

George Bonhag is the one best bet. in

cording to Mike Murphy. is the only
American who stands even a fair chance
to win. The foreigners entered in the
meet are especially strong at the DIS
lance. and are expected to make clean
up. Kohlemainen and Bouin, represent
ing Finland and England, respectively,
are the two who it Is thought will finish
first and second.
Two years ago Sheppard sprang a sur
prise, and won a distance event in which
1t was thought he would have no chance,
and maybe Bonhag will do the same.
Such a thing is not beyond the realm of
possibility by any means.
It has been claimed that one thing
which will work against the American
Security and Trust Company in the post
season series Is that it will not have been
pitted against strong enough teams dur
ing its regular league season to guarantee
its being at it's best. The clubs against
which it has been playing in the Column

even to give the Bankers close contest.
