Press Comment

Bathgate Pink Paper: Now that the
national primary is over the matter of
congressional, state, legislative and
district candidates will receive more
attention from the various parties.
The campaign this fall promises to be
an interesting n n has much of
promise for h democrats, in the Pc
culiar conditions existing. Prospects
for electing a democratic member of
congress from the first district are not
alluring at the present time but con-
ditions may change before the June
primaries. II MI. Young is defeated
for nomination in the Second district
a strong democratic candidate would
have fully an even chance to be elect
ed. In h Third district p~rospects
are more promising, not SO much
through democratic strength as from
the very bitter fractional feeling amonp
the republicans. Most material to
democratic success all along the line
Is our candidate for governor. He
mus be a man in whom all Of the pro-
gresstves have confidence, one widely
known and popular. Those most talk
ed Of at the present time, for this no.
sition are Bank Examiner Oliver
Knudtson, Warden Helstrom and
Geo. P. Jones Of LaMoure. Other can
didates may enter the field and by
many it is hoped that, under certain
conditions, Governor Burke may be in
duced to again become a candidate.
This is an off year; that is, no United
States senator is to be elected, but the
legislature is very important and the
fight for membership will not be so
partisan as in other years.
The democrats can build I'm thar
legislative strength more easily and Il
will be of material assistance later in
developing strength when election of
senator does ONE The very light
vote cast by the democrats in nri.
maries generally and the fact. which
cannot be disputed, that many dem
ocrats, both this and other years vot-
ed in republican primaries, indicates
a lack of interest in party which a.

maries will be playing politics ana q

AENEY's MISREPRESENTATION.

III -
Mr.. Heney undoubtedly did good
york in clearing up San Francisco
from graft, and there is work which
he and others could do in the north
west. This cannot be accomplished,
however, by such Misrepresentation
as made by him in his lecture here
Wednesday evening.
His subject was Civic Righteous
ness, n this cannot be accomplished
by personal Misrepresentation. He
complained because a statement he
made at the conservation congress in
st. Paul about President Hill was not
published by the Associated Press.
He stated that his assertion was
that the people had given Jim Hill
6O,000,0o0 acres, and by Jim Hill 1
mean the Northern Pacific railroad"
The Northern Pacific did have a
land grant, but that was given to it
about forty years before Mr.. Hill Sc
cured any interest in that road. At
the time he became interested in the
Northern Pacific the greater portion
OF the land had been disposed of. The
land was given the Northern Pacific
but it is a little difficult to see how
it was given Mr.. Hill-when he was
then only interested in the Great
Northern, which had no land grant
from the government. .
Even If the land was given the
Northern Pacific, hat was it consid-
cred worth at that time? When the
charter for the Northern Pacific was
first before congress the most learned |
statesmen were against granting It the
right to cross the country. Hon. Justin
Morrill, Of Vermont was then in the
house, and later in the senate, and he
opposed the measure on the ground
that it was f~oolhardy to attempt to
build a road through 49, Great Amer
lean Discriminating that All TIE COM
merce which existed in that region
was the Carrying Of e &sW m1 skrat
skins fror the Red river a the north,
and that was all ISS-s Gver wsula be-"
The results showed that Mr.. Nor
rin and others did not then know the
richness Of this country. At the same
time, even with this great land grant,
Jay Cooke, Henry Willard and others,
with all their standing, wealth and
energy failed to construct the line to
the coast, which is now so important
transcontinental highway. The
railroad has made these lands very
valuable.
What good can come Of such gross
INSTRUMENTATION, as that INDUCED in
by Mr.. Heney? 1t reacts and hurts
the very cause which he is protesting
to upbuild.

THE CASE.

The U. S. senate has settled the
Stephenson case-and the ancient
badger senator is to remain in the up
per branch of congress. This de-
cision was a foregone conclusion. No
one expected Stephenson to be ex-
PEELED from the senate.
1t al conceded hat the senator
had spent owe $4,000 to gain the
seat--and that, too, under the much
Wanted primary election law. But II
was also held that while this immense
sp-l had been expenGed-there was
nothing to convict Stephenson of po-
liticaI immortality.
There are too many other members
of the august body in the same lack
pot with. Stephenson. II the WILSON,
sin member were to be expelled
there are equally as strong reasons
why others should not remain. Com
paratively few of the members were
elected without having spent consider
able money to secure their seats
Very few them had gone to the linn
it set by stephenson-because they
didn't have it-or didn't need to.
It is a sad commentary that members
Of the highest lawmaking body of the
country should purchase their seats.
1t is equally deplprable that the larg-
est srm yet known to have been used
sor this purpose was under the pri-
mary lection iaw-which was d.
signed to give the "peepuT their
rights-and keep the money bags out
of zee. Z

DEMOCRATS AND LA GILLETTE.

The eft1rt to disproYe the assertion
that the democrats of North Dakota
voted in large numbers for LaFollette
at the recent presidential preference
primaries is not very effective. There
is suficier evidence Of the fact to
convince most people.
When the full state returns are in
the figures will show that the demo-
cratic vote was short about the same
amount that LaFoIlette led Roosevelt.
In cass county the republican vote
was larger than the republican con-
s~rsssional vote OF two age by
1893. On the other hand the demo-
cratic vote wss smaller by 1,334. TIE

Square Deal On the Part of Rail-
roads and Shippers Will

The need of cooperation between
the railroads and the shippers OF the
country, II the best results in trans
portation are to be secured, was the
keynote or addresses at the banquet
OF the National Industrial Traffic
league, which was held in the Hotel
Cadillac. Wednesday evening. There
were more than so traffic men from
al over the country gathered to dis
cnss the problems that confront the
shipper.
George A. Post, president OF the
Railway Business association, was
< the principal speaker, He said: With
out progressive. adequately equipped
railroads, the producers of traffic
must suffer. Without the brains aNd
Initiative of railway supply men. the
railroads. could not be progressive
and adequately equipped. Without
the traffic which the shippers furnish,
the railroads would languish. These
are all interdependent factors In the
making OF a prosperous nation. We
must cooperate: We must know one
another and study out mutual neces-
stiles and learn how to settle our
problems in a manly, honest and con-
elderate manner"
Hal II. Smith, attorney for the
Michigan Manufacturers association,
spoke along similar lines. The rail-
roads have just come to realize that
they need cooperation" he said.
Hitherto they have lived by force"
Mr.. Smith also declared that the rail
roads OF Michigan are burdened by
excessive taxation which is unjust
and stated that they should be re-
