The Solicitors

Race.
On the first page of this issue will
be found a communication from So
lidtor ]. Monroe spears, detailing
his reasons for not being present at
the campaign meetings in this county.
Mr.. Spears is confident that his
home people will give him a hand
some majority, and Is anxious for
them to do So upon his record as So
licitor. That they can we'll afford to
do so upon that record is certainly
too we'll known to be dwelt upon at
length, and we are equally as con-
dent as Mr.. Spears that his majority
in this county will be an overwhelm-
ing one.

at the disposition of cases so as to
save the counties money. When it
is realized that every day taken on
by citizens to attend court means in
msot instances a great loss, this a
lone is an item worthy Of considera-
ton. Solicitors who are able to save
money for the people in court ex-
penses are few and far between not
only in this state, but in every state.
The unquestioned ability of Solici-
tor Spears to hold his own with lead
ing attorneys vouchsafes the interests
of the State begin we'll tken care of,
and We do not look for anything but
his reelection to this important office
in the first primary.

sity Of North Dakota. Fargo college
and the University of Manitoba will
meet in this city on December /, for
the purpose of making final arrange
ments for the formation Of a tri-
angular debating league. The meet
ing was to have been held here Friday
but has been postponed. owing to the
fact that the Manitoba representative
is unable to be present on account OF
examinations. The most important
thing to be settled at this conference
is the selection Of a question for de-
bate. s. Abrahamson is the represen.
tative of the Canadian institution,
while Mr.. Jacobson will represent Far
go college and John Adams Taylor will
look after the interests of the Univer-
sity Of North Dakota.

MAY LOOK TO-
LEGISLATURE
City Authorities Want More
Power to Handle Slaught-
er House Question.

With the slaughter house PROPOSE
ton apparently at a standstill, steps
are already being taken to have the
next legislative assembly give the city
more power in the way Of providing
"a municipal plant. After two unsuc-
|cessful attempts to make some agree
ment with the butchers, the authori-
ties have apparently given up all hope
of having the question settled by them,
and are now looking toward the legis-
lature for relief.
City Attorney Wineman said this
afternoon that there is no question
that the proposition will be submitted
to the legislature. AS the situation
is at present 1t Is impossible for the
city to do much OF anything and con-
sequently 1t is after the power to con-
denim all slaughter houses and erect
q municipal plant. In connection with
this. they will be able to carry on a
spection.
The present city ordinance re-
qutres tina any n desiring a license
to construct and operate a sanitary
slaughter house mus petition the
council in writing and file with 1t
plans and specifications of the pro-
posed building. 30 they can determine
whether or not 1t conforms with the
provisions Of the ordinance.
So far the butchers of the city have
filed no petition or no written propo-
sition. 1t wal stated today. Whether
or not such a move is contemplated
could not be learned.

AS to the state ticket. 1t was nomi.
mated under a primary law given by
the republicans. If the people want
to control their W politics and gov.
eminent they must stand by the pri.
mary. To do otherwise Is to discredit
the primary and take a step toward
the old conditions, against which we
have all fought so hard. I do not
recognize a slavish loyalty to the pri-
mary nominations by the individual
who has personal knowledge Of the
unfitness or dishonesty of a candidate,
but we have no such case to deal with
10 nour state and congressional ticket.
1t is a ticket that we can all we'll be
proud Of.
Mr.. Hanna. our candidate for gov

centering their fight, is recognized by
all. foe and friend alike. as being we'll
equipped in every way. All consider
that he will make a governor who will
be a credit to the state. We have
nothing to expect from his demo-
cratic opponent. The time has come
when the North Dakota republicans
should come into their own. In fair
ness. we ought to support our Mr..
Hanna. and our whole state and con-
gressional tickets. In justice to my
self. and in order that I may not be
misunderstood. I will say. that I have
made this statement after giving the
questions involved my most serious
thought. and without the knowledge
or solicitation Of any organization, or
individual supporting Mr.. Taft or Mr..
Hanna. 1t stands alone as my serious
and honest convictions.
