Several m~otorcyclists have beer

on the sidewalk and the attention of
the police department has been called
to this fact. Chief Keefe says that
such practice is in direct violation of

he will see that it is stopped.
From all the police station officials

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE.

The republican political situation in
North Dakota this year Is different
from former campaigns. Prior to this
election the state was all in one con-
E%ressioual district and the state re-
publican central committee had charge
OF the election of the state officers,
the congressman and the presidential
electors,
This yea 1t is different. The state
committee will have charge only Of
the election of nominees on the state
ticket and will assist in legislative
matters.
Each Of the three districts will make
their congressional fights separate
and distinct from each other. The
state central committee will have
nothing to do with the management of
those contests.
The national republican committee
man will have charge Of the fight for
the president and will be assisted by
the men nominated as electors.
This arrangement will simplify the
campaign and make it a less onerous
task for the members Of the state
central committee. Instead of being
forced to bear the burden of all the
ca1mpaign-they will have only to look
after the nominees for state offices
and boost for members of the legisla-
ture.
Members from one congressional
district will not be called upon to
make the fight for candidates from an
other.
s National Committeeman Marshall
will be in charge of the fight for the
election of presidential electors. He
will be in touch with the national
committee and will assume personal
direction inc charge of that end of the
fight. While the national committee
man and the state committee will no
doubt cooperate in every way posi-
ble-each will do it's work indepen-
IDENTITY.
The arrangement appears to The
Forum to be a rather happy one. It
divides up the onerous work and di-
rectly fixes the responsibilities. In
former years charges have been made
that the state committee paid no at
tention to national politics-or that it
paid too much attention and neglected |
the state candidates. Under the new
plan this charge cannot be made.
If the state ticket falls by the way
side no n can blame National Com
nlitteeman Marshall, as thai is not his
part of the fight. If Taft electors do
not get the vote they are entitled to
the blame cannot be placed on the
state committee. National Commit
teeman Marshall will have that re-
sp~onsibility. II any member Of con-
gross should fall down he can't blame
1t on the state committee as a whole.
He must see that his own committee is
working in harmony with the national
and congressional committees.
The republican state committee is
planning to wage an aggressive cam
pstgn and elect every man from Han
ma DOWN. A declaration of princinIes
has been sent out which it is expected
each candidate will sign. When the
signatures have been secured this
statement will be published as the
Initial gun Of the campaign-and from
then on till the ballots close there will
be something doing.
Members of the committee are ex-
fretnely confident of their ability to
elect every man on the state ticket.
It 10 planned to put forth a strong Of
fort for every man chosen by the
state-wide primaries.

Press Comment

Alexander Chronicle: Hanna launch
ed and led the Roosevelt campaign in
this state last winter. Now Roosevelt
enters the state and launches a bull
moose candidate for governor in oppo-
sition to Hanna. Is this ingratitude
or just politics?
Flasher Hustler: The bull moose
party or the B. S. beautiful %sunshine)
party-makes no difference what you
term it--held at Fargo last week among
the rest of it's hypocrisy and hysteria,
endorsed all the state departmental Of
ficers named by the republicans in the
recent primary election, with the ex-
ception Of Hon. W. G.. Glbreath for
commissioner Of agriculture and labor.
Mr.. Gilbreath doesn't need the en-
dorsement of such a bunch of political
hoodoos-he has the endorsement of
the people of the whole of North Da-
kota behind him and hat Is entirely
sufficient to insure his reelection in
or boss muckrakers-to discredit him.
He has rendered valuable services to
the state and the coming big North
Dakota Industrial exposition at Bis
marck-to which all the bull moosers
and muckrakerS are invited-wilI be a
big feather in his hat. In the person
of w. G. G~flbreath, North Dakota has
a splendid and efficient commissioner
this they are satisfied to return him to
an Office he so ably fills. Give us Gil
breath every time--in preference to a
willy web-footed prohibitionist or an
incompetent bull mooser.
Beach Advance: The "moosevelt'
party a had it's convention in North
Dakota and nominated DIR. Creegan of
Fargo as their candidate for governor
and endorsed the balance of the res
publican ticket as nominated in the
June primaries. This move was made
solely under the dictatorship OF. Theo-
dore Roosevelt who was present at the
convention in Fargo. This shows clear
~ how sincere Roosevelt Is In the way
Is one-half as rotten as Teddy claims
they are, why did he endorse the re-
publican candidates for Office In this
state? The reason is obvious. Roose-
welt is a smooth politician. His one
burning desire Is to be a third term
president of the United States. He
knows that the political condition in
he wants to carry his state at the
November election. Hanna was the
first man in North Dakota to boom the
candidacy of Roosevelt for president
before the presidential primaries last
spring. This was when Roosevelt was
a republican. Whether or not Hanna
would now leave h republican party
the bull moose ticket, is doubtful be-
cause Hanna is the republican nominee
for governor of this state. Teddy also
realizes that the nomination of Hanna
for governor was Unsatisfactory to the
progressive element OF the republican
party In this state and that a good
many or them would leave the party
democratic nominee. This phase OF

Hampden Guardian: The action of
Roosevelt in coming into this state
and practically demanding a third tick
ct and working against Hanna, who
came out from Washington and spent
quite a little time in his-Roosevelt's-
behalf last spring, is more apt to have
the opposite effect to the one intended.
The average voter likes fair play even
in politics and this is far from fair
play. 1t is more like the action of the
dog that bites the hand that feeds III.

Hope Pioneer: The bull moose par
ty made a very suspicious start at
Fargo last Friday when the leaders

DR.. Creegan of Fargo college:

run for governor.

the situation would not bother Teddy
in the least. He does not care one
whit for the local politics of this state,
but right here is where the shoe
punches: President Taft is unpopular
in North Dakota owing to his stand on
reciprocity and Teddy was afraid that
the dissatisfied republicans who would
vote for Hellstrom for governor might
mooseyelt side of the ballot and may
vote for Wilson for president. This is
the reason that Teddy trotted out a
new candidate for governor, He hopes
TO catch, in this manner, the ~repub1i-
can votes that would naturally go to
Hellstrom and as the name of Creegan,
the new candidate for governor Will
appear in the Roosevelt column on the
official ballot, he also has hopes of re.
ceiving the same vote for himself, ana
by endorsing the other candidates for
state offices whom the republicans have
nominated, he feels that he has so
laid his plans that these candidates
whom he has been kind enough to en-
dorse, cannot very well show their in
gratitude by opposing him for the
presidency. Teddy is truly a great pol
1ttcian and DR.. Creegan is the goat.
Hampden Guardian: In order to
hurt the chances of Hanna in his own
home, as much as possible, the third, or
bull moose, party has put up one Of
Hanna's own townsmen to oppose him
in the race for governor. It is our
opinion that the effect will be surpris-
ing. The people of the state have
passed the point where they can be
dictated to, and the action of the E.
Ms. savors too strongly of dictation
and bossism. The voters of the state
have already signified their choice for
governor. They want Hanna and the
November vote will prove it.
Mimic Journal: The result of the
bull moose convention at Fargo Friday
was the placing in nomination of DR..
Creegan, president of the Fargo col
lege, as candidate for governor and
leaving in the hands of the state CEN
trail committee the duty of selecting
some one to go against Gilbreath for
commissioner of agriculture and la
Dor. Those of the republican electors
that had withdrawn from thu ticket
because they would not Vote for Taft,
were chosen electors on the Roosevelt
ticket. The rest of the republican
ticket vas gobbled up. 1t all sums
up as another move to turn the gov
ernorship in the state over to the dem
ocrats again. But 1T won't work. Mr..
Hanna will wiz out in this three cor
nered fight.
