h0usER La toilette talk
PLEA FOR PERSONAL FRIEND

About two hundred people were at the
opera house Wednesday night to listen
to a political address by Walter l.
Houser. former secretary of state in
Wisconsin and a personal friend of
Robert La Toilette.
The speaker was introduced by H. J..
Blanchard. a former Wisconsin man.
and a candidate for states attorney,
who characterized Mr.. Houser as cham
pion of the man who is fe~arlessly
fighting for progressive principles and
for the common people.
F. w. Turner was also seated on the
platform with the speakers.
Mr.. Hou ser referred to himself as q
farmer from Wisconsin and manager of
the presidential campaign of La Fol-
lette since his decision to enter the
race last July. He said he was pleased
with the kind of citizenship displayed
in this state, that. while it is a re-
publican state, a democrat was selected
for governor as the man best fitted to
meet the demands of the hour, and that
North Dakota recognized as the great
issue, government to insure Justice
rather than party ties. The rare privi-
iege of being the first state in the union
to express a choice for president gives
North Dakota q great influence over
moi ohhorsnd otofao t
The speaker gave much time to the
history of the present campaign and
told how La Toilette was chosen by the
most prominent progressive republicans
as the man possessing all the qualities
of leadership. He had proven himself
capable by his past record in leeisla-
tive work both in his " state. Wis
consin. and as a national congressman.
He regulated the railroad rates in Wis
consin and fought the reciprocity meas
ure in congress- The speaker brought
applause by referring to Mr.. La Folet-
tes' 8 words when asked to make q COM
pact with the Ohio Steel masnates-'l

his promises. Instead of supporting
the platform he was elected to be form.
ed a platform of his own, ~fsvorinl
opinions he promised to oppose. He i.

Mr.. Houser's objections to Colone
Roosevelt are the same ones used b,
La Follette's admirers everywhere.

Mr.. Houser did not raise q great deal o.

right to decide for themselves on such
matter of governmental policy. 1t
IS in no shape or way one of the few
questions where the public servants of
the people have the right, and where it
is their duty to go counter to the wishes
of the people. | do not mean that .here
are no such cases, on the contrary,
hold that not only the judge, but the
legislator or executive, may at times
find that his highest duty to the people
is to resist the will OF the people if
some question of real or vital principle,
of right or wrong, is at stake. But his
usefulness in standing ruggedly for his
own convictions in such cases where the
moral law is at stake will largely depend
upon his not having refused to represent
the popular will when the people had a
right to have their will respected.
- No public servant
who is worth his salt should hesitate to
stand by his conscience and if neces-
sary, to surrender his office rather than
to Weld his conscientious convictions in
a case of genuine Importance. But while
that is his right and his duty, our right
and our duty is to see that he is re-
sponsible to us, to the people; and
hold with Abraham Lincoln that we are
unfit to be called free people if We
permanently surrender the right 20

The decision of the executive commit

Dealers association in the selection of
the place of meeting for the 1912 conven-

than usual. Denver and Boston have
pressed their respective claims with an
earnestness not heretofore witnessed in

their claims are well founded, for the
educational value of a trip to the quar-

this, there is the pleasure that would

lead to its selection. As we now under

The Ameriean Undergraduate an Enigma

American undergraduate presents an
enigma. He appears to be not exactly

ing species, a. kind Of Exhibit \" per-
nhtted because he is customary; "a Car
LYLE might say, creature run by gal

The mystifying part Of this lies in
the fact that the college man seems
determined to keep up this illusion Of
his partial or total depravity He re-
veals no unchastened eagerness to be
thought good. Indeed, he usually plays
up his desperate wickedness. From
