Only two political parties are recog-
nized in North Dakota, the republican
and the democratic, these parties being
the ones which have polled a vote large
enough to entitle them to have a separ-
ate party column on the official ballot
assigned to them. There is no contro-
versy over the attitude of the democra-
tic electors. Wilson has been regular
ly chosen as the candidate of their
party, and his position as the party
nominee is not in dispute. Republican
electors or candidates for those five
positions, have also been named and
according to precedent they would be
expected to vote for the nominee Of the
national convention of the republican
party, provided they are elected in the
fall. Socialist, prohibitionist and mem
bers of other parties, and proposed
party now being organized by Roose-
welt included, may, if they choose,
name electoral candidates by petition,
and have the names of those candidates
printed on the ballot in the column de-
voted to nomination by petition. In
that way we may have a dozen presi-

GERMAN APACHE PLANS FAIL
German Police Quickly Kill Three Ter

to Escape.

Berlin.-German stoicism as far as
off1cialdom is concerned put a quick
end to what threatened to be the
transfer of French apache methods to
this city. AS a result, three robbers
are dead, while there we're no casual
ties among the law and order forces.
Shortly after midnight a shopkeeper
reported to a policeman On duty in
the suburbs that three robbers were
looting stores in the vicinity and
threatening all who opposed them with
death. The robbers, he said, we're

The policeman hurried to a nearby
railway station, and deputizing the sta.
ton master and his assistants as aides
started in pursuit. When they came
in sight of the trio, who trying to
make off heavily laden with booty, an
exchange of shots followed. One of

enough to send a bullet crashing

his own flight.
For a time It seemed that the third

New Progressive Party

The new progressive party at Chicago

nomination for president and Governor
Hiram johnson of California for vice
president. The following is the plat
form preamble:
The conscience of the people, in q
time of grave national problems, has
called into being a new party, born of
the nations awakened sense of justice.
"We of the Progressive party dedi-
cate ourselves to the fulfillment of the
duty laid upon us by u fathers to
maintain that government of the people
by the people, and for the people whose
foundation they laid.
1--WE hold with Thomas Jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln that the people are
the masters of their constitution to
fulfill it's purposes, and to safeguard it
from those who, by p~erversion of its
intent, would convert it into an instru-
ment of injustice.
"This country belongs to the people
who inhabit it,"

in the first place."

BY fall the State Board of Control
assisted by the state agricultural de-
partment, will have silos at five of the
six institutions under their supervision,
viz: A concrete block silo at the re-
form school, at Mandan; two brick 81
los at the state prison, Bismarck; two
monolithic siios at the insane asylum,
Jamestown; one at the deaf and dumb
school, Devils Lake and one at the feeble

only the blind school without a silo, and
that, no doubt, will be provided for
later. The influence of the establish
ment of these three silos by the state

Mrs. Snow and Frieda helped to make
the occasion one to be remembered,
always. Such pretty presents and so
many bright faces are sure to make a

Mortimer had a pocket full of money
given him that iingled ever so merrily.

REASONS WHY
He stands for a square deal.

He stands for a square deal
He has always stood for the people and OPP
posed to graft.
BY his effort the county officers were placed
on salary and taxpayers saved $4,000 per
year by doing away with the fee system in the
Sheriffs office ALONE.
This office should be held by some one other
than the Justice of the Peace.
BY his efforts he saved the taxpayers of Paw
Paw s., 200 in defeating the suit brought against
the village for damages by Mr. Thomas. 1t is
the duty of the voters regardless of party to
stand by man who for years has opposed the
ring at Paw Paw and by so doing reduced the
extravagant expenditure of money in conduct
ing the business of the county.
If elected, he is legally qualified for the posi-
tion and you are insured of an economical ad
ministration and square deal
There will be no favorites.
All persons will be treated the same, rich
and poor alike.
He is the one candidate who is legally quail
fed for the position.
