Mayor Sweet Mum On
Third State Party
DECLINES TO DISCUSS STATE.
ISSUES TO CROWD OF TWO
DOZEN At COURT HOUSE.

# Owing to the lack of enthusiasm,
and the general disinclination to popu-
larly approve the third state party
movement, and the pronounced apathy
in the Sweet gubernatorial campaign,
and the Indifference of Valley City
citizens, also the inclement weather,
Fargo's mayor did not muster much
of crowd at the court house last
night. BY actual count there were
twenty-four men and a boy in the au-
dience when the mayor began speak
ing at $3.50. When the curfew whistle
blew at 8 O'Clock, there had been add
ed to the audience six more voters,
making a total of thirty at the meet
ing. .s .r%ae
cause Mayor Sweet said nothing about
the third state party" its purpose or
it's candidate for governor. Those
who did attend the meeting wanted to
hear something about the state move
ment and listen to an explanation as
to why it was thought necessary by
Mr.. Lauder and Mr.. Carroll and other
leaders of the party" to place third
ticket in the field to uphold the cause
of progressiveness when preponder-
ance of voters in the state are already
lined up in a progressive movement in
the Republican party. "
Nothing on State Issues. ~
So far as Mayor Sweets address
was concerned, had the audience not
previously been informed that he was
candidate for governor and princi.
pal exponent for the third state
party" none would have known OF it's
existence and all would have believed
the mayor was merely taking the
stump for the National Progressive
Party in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt.
There was another speaker on the
program. Judge Noah Allen, of Texas,
an able orator sent here to speak on
the national issues i'm behalf OF Col
onel Roosevelt, and the audience nat
urally expected Mayor Sweet would
confine his address ia state issues and
the third state party" leaving the
national questions to Judge Allen, a
man we'll informed on those topics and
familiar with the National Progressive
movement and it's significance.
Mayor Sweet was applauded when
he sat down but Judge Aliens speech
was interrupted with clapping OF
hands, although ne was subordinated
at the meeting by Mayor Sweet.

NORTHERN PACIFIC AGAIN ASKS
TO CHANGE PASSENGER STATION
Special Meeting of the City Council Called For
Tomorrow Night to Consider the Matter
for the Second Time.
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

(From Wednesdays Daily
The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany has renewed its proposition to
change the location of it's passenger
station to the High Line. Mayor Pla-
tou called a special meeting of the
city council to meet tonight TO con-
slider the matter, but owing to the
scheduled speech of Governor Burke,
the meeting was postponed until to-
morrow night.
The reopening of the Northern Pa
cific passenger station case came as
surprise to the business men Of
Valley City and there was more than
ordinary interest in the tact that a
special meeting of the council had
been called to consider the matter for
the apparent purpose of. granting or
refusing permission to move. The
authority of the council to take such
action is questioned, and should the
council assume such authority and
grant permission to move the station,
it is announced that Mitigation will be
started to nulify such action by those
business men opposed to the move.
Question Before Electors
It is more than likely that the coun-
Gil will not assume such prerogative
but adopt resolution placing the mat
ter before the voters at. the general
election Nov. 5, to obtain public ex-
preston of approval or disapproval.
Many of the business men of the
city were of the opinion that the ques-
ton had been settled when Judge
Amidon ruled in the injunction pro-
ceedings instituted more than two
years ago, to restrain the Northern
Pacific from moving the station to
the High Line, that it should be re-
ferred to the state railroad commits.
sion and that the railway company
should give adequate service to the
city.

To this parchment copy the names or

and the signatures of the new delegates
from Pennsylvania. Later Mexican was

After this permanency of form had

unanimous support on the I'd of July.
Many contend that the fair copy was
signed on the morning of the 9TH with
out ceremony the delegates arrived.
After adopting the Declaration of In
dependence Congress resolved the same
day that copies of it be sent to the sew
eral assemblies, conventions, committees
and councils of safety and to the several
commanding officers of the continental
troops and that it be proclaimed in each
army. Undoubtedly these copies bore
only the names of Hancock and Thom-
son.
On the 10Th of July it was resolved by
Congress that the Declaration be engross-
ed on parchment and presented to Con-
gress to be signed by every member on
the I'd of August. Accordingly, on that
date, after the parchment was compared
with the fair copy, the signing took
place, and the original copy was probably
destroyed.
Even at this signing some of the MEM
bers paled, but John Hancock declared
that he would write his name large
enough for the king to see 1t without his
gla sses. When Carroll signed, some
friend. fearing that the British would con-
quer the colonists, and SO confiscate the

The Continental Congress absorbed
the spirit of liberty. Her delegates from
the several colonies were gaining in cour-
age, North Carolina, being strong in the
belief that the American people should
separate from England took the initia-
tive in empowering her delegates to vote
for independence when the matter should
be taken up by the Continental Con-
Gress. Colony after colony then fol-
lowed her example. until by the end of
June all states except New York had de-
cided in local assemblies that their con-
sressional representatives should favor a
separation from Great Hritan. While
the colonial governments were exercising

young southerner should undertake the
work.
1t is not probable that jefferson was
exactly the author of the Declaration, for
the responsib blity was assigned to the
committee jointly; but 1t is generally con-
ceded that his mind controlled the phrase
ology of the document, that he gave it it's
shape and that he inspired the paper
with the genuine effusion of the soul of
the colonists at that time. 1t is also con-
cluded that John Adams personally re-
vised the Declaration and made several
amendments and that the entire commit
tee critically analyzed the paper.
Before the day set for its presentation

Congress. England was strong with
money, men and equipment while the
colonists lacked all but spirit. What if

be punished as traitors il we assent to
such a principle as some in our midst
are advancing?"
IF we do not assert our liberty the
war will benefit us in no way, even If we
are victorious" argued others. Dangers
beset both parties.
A time to take a stand had come and
no one knew it better than Richard Henry
Lee of Virginia, who introduced a Dec
laration of independence in Congress June
Z. 1716. 1t was: Resolved, that these
united colonies are and of right ought to
be free and independent states; that they
are absolyed from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political con-
nection between them and the state of
Great Britain is and ought to be totally
dissolved: that it is expedient forthwith
to take the most effectual measures for
forming foreign alliances: that a plan of
confederation be prepared and transmit
ted to the respective colonies for their
consideration and appreciation.
Lee had scarcely ceased speaking be-
