Washington. oct. 2S.--The illness
OF Vice President James s. Sherman
and speculation over the possibilities
of his withdrawal from the republican
ticket because OF the serious conul-
ton Of his health. aroused discussion
here today over the probable methods
OF filling his place.
The general opinion expressed was
that the republican national commits
tee, or the executive committee pos
sosscd power To fin vacancy upon
The ticket. No one here processes to
know whether the Chicago convention
specially provided for such an emer-
eency. The report OF the 1908 conven-
tion does not appear to show that
such provision was made then and
the stenographic report of the con-
vcntion tins year mas not been print
ed.
Should "A vacancy occur upon tho
republican ticket, either before or
after election, some republican Lead
ers here today argued the electors
would have power to vote for any cam
didate for vice president they might
choose. Precedents were admitted to
be lacking hut It was declared only
party discipline and honor had in tho
past bound electors 10 vote for their
party nominees. No one suggested that
a choice by the republican national
committee, or its executive committee
would fail To receive the support OF
the Taft electors.
Ordinarily should there be no vice
president the president pro tenn of
the senate would preside over that
body and the line of succession of tho
presidency would be to the secretary
If state. For the last several months
he senate has been unable to agree
upon president pro tenn and that
)ffice has been vacant.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
WHAT CAN BE DONE
ON NJ. D. FARM IN =
FOURTEEN YEARS.

Cando, N. d., Nov. 1S.-George
BIose attended the J. T. Evans
/ sale at Rock Lake, and on his re-
turn to Cando, a newspaper rep
| resentattve met George and he
said the sale was one Of the best
he has ever attended. This set
Mr.. Blose to thinking away back
about fourteen years ago when, he
said Mr.. Evans drove up to the
Blose place Of business for a load
of coal. He had no money to pay
for the coal, the team was on a
par with one of the scraWnniest
looking rigs that could be found
among the Turtle mountain In
dams. But Mr.. Blose said Evans
looked good to him and he let him
have the coal.
Look at Evans today. He has
400 acres of the finest land in
Towner county for which he has
refused $4,000. Three hundred
and fifty acres of his farm was
in crop this year from which he
got 5000 bushels OF grain. He
bought eighty acres last year, got
enough crop from it this year to
pay for the land and some money
besides.
Besides having the $12, 900 farm,
Mr.. Evans has $4,000 cash in the
bank. He will not sell his farm,
he says he cannot invest it's value
in anything else that would bring
in more than the increase in
value, to say nothing about what
the land will produce.
He has decided to retire from
farming at the present, and move
to Eugene, Ore, where he can ed
ucate his children and have them
at home.

Joint MEETING
IS SCHEDULED

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 1S.-Fol-
a conference held in this
city between officials of the North
Dakota Tax association and the North
Dakota Municipal league, the latter
but recently organized. 1t was an
nounced that the two organizations
would hold a joint meeting in Grand
Forks, probably about the middle Of
January.
The association, according to the
viewpoints of the officers, have much
in common, and it was felt that good
results would come through the hold
ing of the annual meeting at the
same time and place, consequently the
decision Il gather here.
Pres. J. e. Boyle OF the tax as
-s~ociation and Mayor NJ F. Murphy,
president Of the municipal league, will
confer on the drawing up Of the pro-
gramme for the big meeting. They
also will make a campaign jointly for
a large attendance, hoping to secure
representation from practically every
city in the state.
Legislative matters, questions hay
ing to do with methods Of city taxa
ton as worked out under the present
law, and the general taxation prob
lem. are due for consideration at the
hands of the joint gatherings. In ad-
dition it is expected that each body
will hold separate meetings to dis
cuss such questions as have peculiar
interest for their members.

WOMAN FEARS
FORMER HUSBAND

Minot N. D.. Nov. 1S-E. ]. Dru-
ecker. who Is employed at the Magic
City garage, was arrested on COM
plant Of Mrs. Alice Druecker, who
claims she fears that Mr.. Druecker
may kill her. Under the terms of a
decree of divorce granted Mrs. Dru-
ecker several weeks ago. Mr.. Druecker
lis given the privilege Of visiting his
little son, Maurice, twice each month
at any reasonable hour of the day.
1t appears that Mr.. Druecker went
to Mrs, D~rueckers apartments in the
Wilson block about 7 o'clock last even
ing and a quarrel ensued between the
couple which caused considerable dis
turbance in the block. Mrs. Druecker
summoned Judge Murray, who i'm
mediately went over and took Drueck-
away and Mrs. Druecker swore out
"a warrant for her former husbands
@Rrrest. According TO the story told by
sthe tenants in the block and by Mrs.
Druecker herself, Druecker had visit
ed the block frequently and created a
scene on a number Of occasions. His
appearance again last night so arous-
ed the indignation of the other tenants
that had not Judge Murray appeared
just when he did, 1t is said that Dru-
ecker would have Jared rather badly.
He was put under $1,000 bond to
keep the peace.

GRAND JURY IN
BOWMAN COUNTY

Bowman, N. D., Nov. ia petit
ton bearing the necessary number of
gners was last week filed with the
clerk of the district court asking that
a grand jury be drawn for the No
vember term of the district court. It is
probable that the judge will grant the
prayer Of the petitioners. If he does
1t will be the first time in Bowman
county and the tax payers will be put
to a great deal of unnecessary ex-
pense.
Among the things to be considered
will be the failure Of the states at
torney to act in criminal cases, when
sufficient evidence was presented to
him. There are also several blind pig
cases, where the offenders were al
lowed to go by the states attorney
without prosecution. We also under
stand that the matter of Red Toms
gambling operations here, the attempt
ing of a banker to bribe a commission
er, to induce him to get through an
abatement of taxes, ETC., will be con-
sidered.
There would be no need for a grand
jury If the states attorney had done
his duty as such official.
Some time ago the commissioners
cut off a considerable unnecessary eX-
n by refusing to pay for a stem
ographer for the states attorney, or to
nay office rent for him, altogether a
matter Of something like $40 per
month. Since that time. it would ap-
pear that the states attorney Is try
ing to put hhe tax payers of the coun-
Ety to all the expense possible.
Well. we hope we will be through
with that sort Of fo~oEshness after
Jan, l.

In the Labor World

/ filiated with the American Federation
of Labor had been elected to the house
Of representatives. OF these fifteen
four are members of the house COM
mittee on labor, OF which Representa-
tive Wilson of PENNSYLVANIA, a union
miner, is chairman. To the labor
members of the house, Mr. Gompers
gave much of the credit for the pass
age of a score of bills endorsed and
urged by the federation of labor.
Among the measures mentioned In
the report were the ei~ght-hour law,
and children's bureau law, the law
creating an industrial relations COM
mission, law giving postal clerks right
of hearing petition, and association,
and the law prohibiting the use of
white phosphorus in the manufacture
Of matches.
Mr.. Gompers discussed fully the ex-
tension of the eight-hour law as con-
tanned in the various appropriation
bills for government work during the
fiscal year, and in the special acts
passed at the last session of congress.
The subject of scientific manage
ment' and the efforts of the American
federation to "thwart the schemes for
the installation of various manage
ment systems" in government work
were taken up at length by Mr.. Comp
ers. He reviewed the investigation of
lHS SO~CdIlSu 1dylOE SySLSIh ny a
special committee of the house.
The report also reviewed the work
for the extension of the Federal EN-
ployers Liability and Workmen's COM
~pensation act and pointed out various
laws passed by individual states pro
viding for automatic compensation of
workmen for injuries.
In connection Mr.. Gompers' report
urged more extensive organization
work among the workers of all indus
trial and the general extension of the
federation.
The. report of Sec, Frank Morrison
of the federation showed total re-
ceipts of $207,373 for the year and ex-
penditures of $277,479. The federation
began the year with a balance of
$1S9,57s, and closed the year with
$70,105 less. In discussing the strikes
of the year Mr.. Morrison's report said:
Reports from sixty-four national
and international organizations and
from local unions directly affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor show that there were 716
strikes, in which there were 74.609
involved. OF that number Sc, 1892
were benefited and 6,177 not benefited.
The total cost OF the strikes re-
ported on was $1,9S6, 263. Adding to
that amount $156, S89, donations made
by local unions to other unions we
have a total of 50, 14S, 153 expended to
sustain members on strike during the
past year"
Similar figures were set forth in the
report of Treas. John b. Lennon.
