THAI NEW PARTY TICKET.

The Grand Forks Henld IN speak.
ing Of the Bull Moose party conyen'
ton held at Fargo Friday, says that
the convention" nominated Il party
candidate for governor, sent out a
search warrant for some man TO run
for the position OF agriculture and Ia,
Dor, and invited all the other republic
can tsaie candidates TO accept nOmin-
atoms on the new party ticket, Those
in control Of the convention seem to
have shown surprising ignorance OF
the rules governing the placing of
I'M on te ballot, for they decld'
ed that II 1t should be found that
these latter candidates could not run
on both tickets they should be asked
At they were Wiiins To accept the pro
gressive nominations, Every person
who has had much To do with cleo
ti0ns knows that for many years 1t
has been illegal for The name of the
same man to appear on the ballot as
the candidate OF more than one pO'
litiGal party, Petitions must be cir
Gnlated for the nomination Of the
candidates OF the e party. u any
nf those petitions contain the names
OF men who have already been nom,
mated as republican candidates, it
will be for those men to say whether
they wish to run AS republicans, or
by petition as pr0gressives, They an
not run in both ways. There Ia just
a p0ssibllity--We do not know what
the Law Is on the subject-thal Il
republican ticket, and intending to
accept a place with the progressive
candidates, may delay the announce
ment OF his dicision until a date SO
late that the vacancy on the reauhll'
can ticket cannot be filled, thus leav-
ing the republican party without q
candidate on the ballot for that Of
tiCa. We take 1t that there Is no man
on the ticket who would do this, IL
1t should be done, the natural and
proper way to deal with such IL niece
Of hare-fared trickery and sharp
ipactiGe will he for every man in the
state who believes in fair play and de-
cenoy to vote for the democratic can
didata for that particular office, There
Is no reason why any man should not
accept a nomination on the Rnll
Moose ticket II it is rendered him,
and he wants It, but II any candidate
Already nominated by any other par,
W antertaiRa thrt purpose, let him
make his puppose known Immediately
let him resign at once from the
ticket OF his former party, and not
TRY to ride two steeds at once,
The Herald has already expressed
itself on the subject of a third state
ticket, 1t stands fGr the ticket nom
mated BY the republican voters of
the state at the primary election In
June, The movement for a third
state ticket was inspired by tho per
senal snite OF two or three men
against the republican candidate for
governor, These men have deluded
and haMbOoalel many OF the other
adlierents Of the new party, aud have
succeeded in making q catspaw Of
the estimahle gentlemen whom they
have induced to run for governor on
their ticket, What representations
may have been made to Roosevelt we
do not know, but It IL pretty safe to
say that R~oaaeyelt's chancea of car.
rying North Dakota have been lessen
cd fifty pef cent BY the action taken
at Fargo FRIDAY,
The platform adopted by the Fargo
convention ID one Of the most re-
marEahle documents ever put forth
by a political gathering, It's first sec,
