Press Comment

Cavalier Chronicles: Whatever the
rest of the nation does politically in
dividing the republican party into non
sSoSis So,d Tssments' vH N0rth DskotS
nave been some division In the party in
the state in the past prior &c the pri-
maries, we think there is no intention
TO perpetuate such division through the
struggles of the campaign n at the
polls. The general feeling among re-
publicans is that nothing can be gained
and much. may be lost in republican
strength II there is not general Lar-
mony in the ranks and a strong pull
all together for the success Of the re-
publican state ticket, which is made Up
OF strong, capable men.
In the ranks within the state there
are no doubt differences that will con-
tinue to exist through the campaign
relative to candidates for the persiden-
oy, n there Is no probability the state
Will be held very strongly for any one
candidate. Taft possibly will capture
the electoral vote, but many republican
votes Will go to Roosevelt and some to
Wilson. The people are their
own masters and will vote as their con-
science and desires dictate, and we
must concede there is much sentiment
among republicans against Taft which
cannot be fully overcome before election
day. But while this is true we do not
think there is any considerable follow
ing of Roosevelt which can be ounte
upon to wander of with him on the
eliminates the names or cardinal prin-
ctples OF true republicanism. The old
party tie still binds hearts to hearts,
n While the great majority of repub-
Leans within the state do not like the
u~nrepublican deal that was effected in
the Chicago convention, still there Is
the disposition among man to take
their medicine" remain intact and pa
tiently wait a better turn of events.
Contrary action would mean the split
OF the republican party beyond repair,
n republicans who are republicans
LOT principles sake are not yet ready to
say that the mission OF the old party is
ended and 1t deserves to die.
Walhalla Mountaineer: The political
pot, so far as North Dakota is concern
ed, seems to AVE settled down to a
quietness that means republican victory
this fall. In the nomination of candi-
closer to harmony than has rested
within the old republican party for
many years. During the battle feeling
ran high and much was said and writ
ten on both sides of the fight for gov
ernor, that was harsh, but with the
nomination of Mr.. Hanna the fight
ceased and both the progressive and
stalwart factions seem content to pull
together for the election OF the entire
ticket. No better choice could have
been made and while the friends of Mr..
Buchanan would W been glad to see
his name on the ticket, they nov that
in Mr., Hanna they have an able and
capable man.
Hankinson News: With the county
committees organized, the assessments
presumably levied and other details
disposed of. the decks are well cleared
Tor the approaching campaign. But
with the present bumper crop In sight
farmers will be too busy during Sep.
TENDER and October to listen to spell.
binders who will be sent forth to dis
cuss the tariff, conservation and the
Conditions as they stand, suit the
thrifty farmer pretty well, and the
ttnkering with the tariff is mo- likely
to be of any material benefit TO him.
Inc man who ts prospecting as is the
North Dakota farmer should think
twice before giving his approval to any
radical change In business conditions.
Wahpeton Glohe-Gazette: The Globe
Gazette has already stated its position
with regard to the proposed progressive
party headed by Theodore Roosevelt.
We can see no necessity for the organi-
cation of q third party and we believe
there would be no demand for such
an organization were 1t not for the m
bitton OF man who has already been
most highly honored n who has prov
ed himself not to be the patriot the
people OF the country have heretofore
supposed him to be.
Hillsboro Banner: Ye editor Attand-
ed the state fair at Fargo Tuesday and
was well pleased with the exposition.
The stock exhibits, the machinery dis
plays, etc. are the best ever shown at
any fair ever held in the state. The
races and free attractions were GOOD
and everybody seemed OF the opinion
that the fair IL a good one ana ali that
1t could be desired to be.
