ma, it is taken for granted, will be a
candidate to succeed himself.
In his campaign Of the past he has
shown a vote-getting power which will
make a campaign against him diff
cult one. Former Governor Burke, now
treasurer Of the United States, is being
discussed as a possible democratic
candidate.
It is quite likely that if he should
offer himself as a candidate for the
nomination Of his party he would not
be seriously opposed. And there is
talk of a candidate representing the
new progressive party.
At the fall election, with Gronna the
republican candidate and Burke the
democratic candidate, it would make a
contest worth watching.
Those interested in the success of
the progressive party would doubtless
prefer these two candidates to any
other on the theory that they would
fight each other so hard that the
chances of a third man to slip in be.

LABOR WAR" MAY
Be INVESTIGATED
G0MPERS WILL BE WITNESS BE
FORE SENATE COMMITTEE
ON JULY 25.

Washington, July, l5-All the
"wars'' which have been fought be-
tween labor and capital, all the ef-
forts that have been made to procure
legislation which would profit them,
and the tangled skein woven about
their relations in the last ten years,
are to be investigated by congress.
The senate lobby committee, in ex-
ecutive session last night, decided
that the "wars'' must be inquired
into. Samuel Gompers, president CT
the American Federation of Labor,
will appear before the committee on
July 25, and a subpoena was issued
last night for John Mitchell, vice
president of the federation and former
head of the United Mine Workers.
At the same time the committee
subpoenaed George Pope and j. r.
Bird, general manager of the National
Association Of Manufacturers.
AS the tale is unfolded, other men,
prominent in labor organizations Of
association of manufacturers, or in
dividual employers of labor who are
brought to notice, will be asked to
appear. The committe decided to look
into the subject. believing that it may
develop startling information and
knowing it Will extend their inquiry
many weeks.
One senator said last night that
the quest might reach back into some
of the dark corners Of the Mcnamara
dynamiting case and might bring into
the light the inside story Of many Of
the great strikes that have paralyzed
industries and thrown thousands out
of work in the last few years. He in
timated, too, that it might develop by
far the most marvellous of all the
strange tales that the committee has
; heard in the past six weeks.

state law that will conform to the
terms of the federal government
This is not necessarily the case, as
it is within the power Of congress to
prescribe such rules as may be neces-
sary for carrying out the spirit Of the
amendment. Even failing action by
congress there appears to be no reason
why the federal law should not oper.
ate.
Two Methods Now Exist
In making preparations for any cleo
tion many things are necessarily left
to the discretion of the administrative
officers. Where the law makes speci-
fic provisions the law must be fol-
lowed.
Where it does not, the proper ofic-
ers must take such steps as may be
necessary to carry out its spirit. In
the present case two methods of elect
ing the senators are provided, one in
the state law and the other in the ma
tional constitution.
Clearly the constitutional method
must be followed. If there are no spe-
cifc regulations laid down in the
statutes in either the state or the ma.
ton for the carrying into effect of the
provisions, it seems clear that it will
be the duty Of the secretary of state
to use the electoral machinery of the
state so far and only so far, as may
be necessary to carry out the inten,
ton of the constitutional provision.
Then it appears it would require the
preparation Of ballots for the nominal

ment of the end to be reached and the
general election laws must confer
enough authority on somebody to see
that this is done.
Still further the senate is the Judge
Of the qualifications of its own mem
bers, and if man goes from the state
Of North Dakota and claims his sea-
in the senate on the strength Of al
election according to the plan above
suggested, there can be no doubt that
he would be seated as having beer

CHILD BURNED TO
DEATH IN HOUSE

Knox, n. D., July s-The saddest
occurrence that has happened in this
community for many years, when the
home of Charlie Barrie, who resided
on the NJ. E. Delamater land, north
east Of town, was entirely destroyed
by fire and their youngest daughter,
Gladys who would have been two years
old this month, was burned to death
il the building.
It seems that Mr.. Barrie had gone
out to pillow the garden and Mrs. Bar
rie had gone out to show him what
she wanted done. They had only
plowed a few times across the garden
when they noticed the smoke, and be-
fore they could get to the house the
wind blowing very hard from the
southeast and the baby being asleep
on couch in the northwest corner of
the house the blaze was coming out
of the windows SO hot that it was i'm
possible to enter. they both having
burned their hands and faces quite
severely in their efforts to reach the
baby. AS soon as possible willing
hands carried water and recovered the
body.

The senator whose term will expire
at that time j. Hon A. J. Gronna, who
was elected by the legislature of 1911
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of the late Martin N. ohnson.
It will be remembered that on the
death Of Mr.. johnson, Governor Burke
appointed Fountain L. Thompson, OF
Cando, to serve as senator until the
legislature should take action, and up
on the resignation of Mr.. Thompson,
W. E. Purcell, of Wahpeton, was select
ed for the position.
In the meantime Mr.. Gronna had
been nominated for the senate by the
republicans at the primaries of June
1910, and that nomination was ratified
by his election in the legislature Of
1911. Senator McCumber was also re
elected at the same time for the full
term, ending March 4, 1917.
