Young for Congress
Hon. George NJ. Young
Valley City, n. D.
Republican Nominee
for Congress

The jamestown Alert, which sup
ported one of Mr.. Young's oppon-
ents during the primary election
campaign, makes the statement
now editorially:
"The various candidates for congress
from this district have been consider
ed and sifted by the voters at the
primary election, and the result is that
Hon. George M. Young Of Barnes our
ty has been selected as the Republican
candidate by the voters Of that party.
It is now time to cast aside ante-prim-
airy and factionaI considerations and
unite on Young. Send him to Con-
gress to work for the people of his
district and state. Four years ago
George Young vas endorsed by a ma.
jority Of all the votes in what is now
the second district, and having been
again selected as the choice Of the
Republicans, he should receive the
united Republican support; and It is
known that he has many friends
amongst the other political factions
Of the district also. His record is
clean, he is a typical Dakotan, and
will, without doubt, make an active,
fair minded member Of the lower house
and serve his constituents with ability
and impartiality."

President Taft Issues Ultimatum to
Mexico.
AMBASSADOR CARRIES MESSAGE
Foreign Countries Have Called At
tention to Destruction Of Prop
erty in the Southern
Republic.

Washington, Dec. 21.--Aroused
NV the attacks upon American lives
and property in Mexico as result
of the revolution there, President
Taft devoted most of the, day before
his departure for Panama to con-
ferences concerning the situation,
the result Of which was that Henry
Lane Wilson, the American ambaR
sador to the Mexican capital, leaves
here today with a demand that Mex
leo take prompt action to put an
end to the existing unrest. The de-
mand was framed at conferences
both in the white house and at a
cabinet dinner given to the presi-
dent in, the evening by Secretary OF
State Knox.
While the state department main
tanned a sphynx-like silence, 1t Is
generally understood that foreign
governments have made representa-
tions concerning the destruction Oh
the property Of their citizens IN
Mexico and the jeopardy in which
those citizens are placed.
Only a short time ago the state
department addressed note to the
Mexican government through Amer
lean Ambassador Wilson, the reply
70 which was said at the time not
to be completely satisfactory. This
Is believed to have inspired in q
great measure the action by Presi-
dent Taft and his advisers.
Ambassador Wilson was present
at all the conferences and will leave
for New York today on his way to
Mexico.

Soldiers Home the charges OF miscon-
duct brought by Hugh Colquitt and

these charges, because of the fact that
VIM is member of the board The
governor however, has informed the
board that that fact need cause them
no hesitation whatever, as their au-
thority is ample.
The governor desires the trustees 10
go thoroughly into the charges, and set
forth the exact truth of the dispute be-
tween VIM. on the one hand, and Col.
quit and Mrs, Clare. on the other
No statement has been given out by
VIM since the charges were lodged
with the executive. but he is expected
to defend himself vigorously.
