ELECTION DAY.

Tomorrow is election dav all over
the United States. In North Dakota,
not only are presidential electors to
be chosen-but full congressional,
state, judicial, legislative and county
tickets are to be elected. q
There has been a great deal OF
apathy in the present state campaign.
North Dakotansr-never very enthusi-
astic--haye been less so this rear than
formerly. The attendance at politf-
cal meetings has not been the kind
that inspired the speakers. Just be-
cause, however, the voters have not
shouted loudly and become excited
there is no reason to believe they have
not been giving conditions a careful
study.
Every man with a right to vote
should go to the polls tomorrow and
exercise his franchise. 1t is a great
privilege and an honor to be a voter,
The right to be an elector has cost the
blood of many great patriots and 1t
should be appreciated.
The republican party is Offering can
didates worthy Of the support of the
voters. Look over the list and you
won't find much trouble in deciding
to give them your suffrage.

GRAY HAIR
To NATURAL COLOR
BY COMMON GARDEN SAGE A
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DANDRUFF,
FALLING, FADED, GRAY HAIR.

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers had dark,
glossy hair at seventy-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are
fifty. Our ~grandmothers kept their
hair soft and glossy with a Sage Tea"
which also restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making 1t.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York. who has placed on the market a
superior preparation OF Sage, combin-
ed with Sulphur and other valuable
remedies for dandruff, itching scalp,
and thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty Of the hair depends more
on it's rich, wen shading than any
thing else. Don't have dry, harsh,
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in a
few days; and don't be tormented with
dandruff, itching scalp and loose, fall
ing hairs. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy will quickly correct these
troubles, and give color, strength and
beauty to your hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and prove this to
your own satisfaction. All druggists
sell it, under guarantee that the
money will be refunded If the remedy
is not exactly as represented. Agents,

When it Games to making use OF the
means at hand in 9 political campaign,
commend us to the democratic ma
chine in this state.
1t would be interesting to know how
many pieces of Hellstrom literature
have been circulated through Grove,
the postofice at the ~penitentiary, by
prison labor.
If the next legislature wants a sub
iect for investigation, as to its activity
in politics, the state penitentiary offers
q fertile field.
The democrats were not so short
sighted when they established a print
ing plant and a p~ostof11ce at the PEN
itentiary. Possibly they thought OF thai
political future when both would be
more than convenient in circulating
democratic literature.
The people of the state, who were
assured that h penitentiary was to be
kept gu of politics, and who are now
being flooded with campaign literature
Issued through this convenient DEM
ocratic institution, are entitled TO know
how their money is being spent and
how much Of the effort OF the inmates
is being devoted to getting votes for
Hellstrom.
The game fund was overlooked two
years ago Sui the resourceful dem
ccratic organization lis not overlooking
the benefits possible through the state
p~enitentiary.
And the warden is absent from the
institution, he is receiving the states
money to manage and control for weeks
at a time, telling the people of the
state about the square deal. Surely, 1t
is time that h people of North Da-
kota stripped the mask from this dem
ocratic hypocrisy, pretense and sham.

TRUsT.RUsTER WILSON,

In answer To. the questions:
Is 1t not q fac that the laws of the
state under which a corporation is
organized prescribe it's power ?
Are not all the powers of Standard
Oil and similar m~onopolies conferred
by the laws of New Jersey?
Could not those powers have been
curtatied by amendments to the New
Jersey laws?
Why has not Mr.. Wilson, as COVER
nor Of New Jersey, recommended such
amendments?
Professor Wilson made the answer:
/ authorize You to say that the re-
publican majority in the legislature
made revision of corporation laws i'm
possible, and no New Jersey official
could prosecute or propose dissolution
for breach of federal statutes.
The legislature serving in Governor
Wilson's administration consisted in
eighteen republicans, in the senate Of
eleven republicans and ten democrats.
In joint session the legislature elected
a democratic United States senator.
In spite of the majority of one repub-
Iican in the senate the legislature
passed the reform measure which
| Governor Wilson recommended.
There is no record that the COVER
nor asked the legislature to end the
chartering of predatory trusts. He
did not mention the subject in any of
his regular messages nor did he write
any special messages upon it. Is it
not strange that-though he had a ma
tority of one against him in the senate
the governor urged remedial legisla-
ton and obtained it II yet ignored
the legislation which would have gone
far to end the trust evil?
Or perhaps it isn't strange.
The licensing Of trusts in New Jer-
sey relieves the people of that state
of a big part Of the burden of taxa
ton. Out of the fees collected from
the trusts are paid much Of the states
expenses-which include the COVER
nor's salary.
Is it not this fact and not the re-
publican majority in the senate which
possible? And was it not the fact
that New Jersey profited by serving as
an incubator for trusts which kept the
governor silent and stayed his penn
And may it not be that because of
his silence on the trust question while

that Governor Wilson has the help and
friendship of the Wall street press

vester trust, and the active aid Of the

n FACTS.

Former Vice President Fairbanks is
using the ans argument that has
been and is being used by most Of the
other supporters of President Taft
in demonstrating why there should be
no change in the administration of the
government at Washington at this
time.
This argument is to the effect that
on the whole the country has been
prosperous under republican admins
trations, while during Cleveland's two
terms-representing the sum total of
democratic governmental experiments
within the memory of the Oldest in
Northumberland times were almost
constantly prevalent.
What is more to the point, nobody is
Offering any answer to this argument
1t ID easy to ~theorize--but it is a uni
versal American trait to demand 'the
goods" It is, indeed. a universally
human trait to place more credence in
q demonstration than in a hypothesis.
The democratic party put forth its
hypothesis in 1884, and obtained a
chance to make its demonstration,
Eight years later it was given the
same opportunity. The result is still
bitter in the public's memory.

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

Mr.. and Mrs. D. C. Best of the own
of McHenry were stopping at the Wal
dorf yesterday and were making pur-
chaseS in the city. Mr.. Best is the
well known merchant of his town and
reports that business has been unus-
ually good during the past few weeks
THE fact that nearly all of the
threshing is done up our way said
he, has given the people q great deal
of confidence in view of the fact that
the yield was of the best and the grain
OF a good quality. In fact the wet
weather Of the greater part of the
harvesting time caused a good many
to wonder for a time whether or not
they would get anything but 1t turned
out all right, although the blowing has
been greatly delayed and everywhere
you will find the farmers at work.

Hurdsfield, this state, was in the city

the people who were refused admit
