their ballots for United States Senator
P. q, McC umber for vice president. tt
is an exceedingly little trick to secure
some very: cheap publicity, and from
the trend of the state it appears that
it is not the kind of advertising which
will benefit the senior senator. Those
500 votes will haunt him for fair. =
Bismarck Times: One of the
troubles which perplezes the old
crowd is the manner in which their
forces are quarreling among them
selves. Here in Bismarck the old
crowd is indulging in wordy, war,
which threatens to expose some Of the
past rottenness of 'Burleigh county.
Hanna and his crowd are at outs with
Blaisdell, Gilbreath and other staunch
Stalwarts, while Patterson and Little
have but scant use for the Fargo man.
Each Stalwart clique is inclined to
blame some other leader or clique for
the late overwhelming defeat.

LaMoure Echo: The thoroughly
fearless and conservative Progressive
element of the Republican party is
clearly in the majority in North Da-
kota. This being the case, there
should be no question in the minds of
the voters as to the choice for the Re-
publican nomination. Progressive
men for Progressives every time. If
North Dakota is to prove herself loyal
to the cause, she will choose J. A. Blu
chanan for the next governor. He
stands as the leader of Progressive
Republicanism the sort of a fellow
who will see to it that square DEAF
is meted out to all taxpayers. nE
Fargo Searchlight: LaFollette has
worked hard to get the cotton and
wool schedules revised so as to give
the people some relief at least. Taft
has been against these revisions until
his board reported. Now that it's re-
port: is in he has advised a revision,
but it is quite certain that if a revi-
son is sent to him, and it is not ap-
proved by the manufacturing inter
ests, he will veto it, finding some sort
of reasons for so vetoing. There will
be no tariff revision put upon the stat
Suite books by this session of congress
It would seem, and the people should
govern themselves accordingly at the
primories and caucuses, selecting dele.
cations to Chicago, and in the Novem-
Der election in selecting members OF
! congress.
) <Lidgerwood Broadaxe: The steel
beef and harvester trusts, seeing how
| the tobacco and Standard Oil trusts
have profited by the fake disintegra
ton into small companies. are now
comforting with Attorney General
Wickersham in the hopes of following
the other two trusts example. And
now, if the deal can be arranged sc
that the trusts can incorporate, wat
cred stock and all, under federal laws
things will be going to suit the big
boys. La Toilette says that they
should not be permitted to incorporate
until the water has been squeezed Out
of the corporations, but he would dc
it gradually, SO we wouldn't have a
second deluge. -

Phoolem, who some months ago ex
perlmented in attaching his phone
graph to linotype machine, now an

in every way. With the exception O.
