One of the b%ystanders, whose attention
was called to the remark, agreed that
there was a striking resemblance be-
tween the faces, and in the general
physical makeup of democracy's distin-
guishcd statesman and the genial editor
of the L~idgerwood Broadaxe, but that,
in his humble Judgment, John was a bet
ter looking man.
In his connection it might he well to
state that there is another similarity be-
tween the nations great democratic lead
or and Tom Hairs efficient deputy

political principles. :.

timist is serving his first term as a mem
her Of the house. He has been q resi-
dent of the state since 1883 ind of Rug
by since the winter of 1903. Mr.. Bratton
has already made himself popular with
many of the members n there is no
doubt but what he will become an influ-
entail member of the lower house.
Hon. George G. Rope Of the Kidder-
Emmons legislative district, is not very
slow in the political game himself. nc

or of his county, four terms as auditor.
and is now in the capital city to repre-
sent his district for the first time as a
member of the house. Mr.. Bope has re-
sided in Kidder county 81 years and
stands well with his constituents. lie
has the reputation of never breaking a
promise. political or otherwise, and when
those kind of men break into politics,
and are big enough for the. office to
which they aspire. which is true OF Mr.
Bone, they generally succeed. His home
is at Steele and he never misses an OPP
p~ortunity to boost for Kidder county's
capital. f
There is one member of the senate
serving his first term who it is generally
conceded will be returned to represent
his district if his constituents will con-
tinue to express by their votes the opin-
ion possessed by members of the upper
house who have met him and enjoyed his
acquaintance, and that is nc less a per-
sonage than Senator C. Z. Davidson of
Portal. Mr. Davidson served two terms
in the house and succeeded in his ef-
forts to. bring about needed legislation
for his part of the state. He owns a
large department store at Portal, one or

It is reported among the politicians Of
the state that there is now a movement
among the superintendent OF schools in
several of the counties Of the state, the
object of which is to raise funds for the
purpose of sending a lobbyist to Bis
marck for the session. The prime object
of this movement is said to be to secure
q bill for the increasing OF mileage to
the superintendent. The proposition is
frowned upon by many and it is reported
that there is a Rood-siZed club in the
hands Of several legislators who are lying
in wait for this ana several other bills.
These gentlemen claim that 10 cents per
mile which is now allowed is sufficient
for any one of the superintendent. and
that the present state of the finances of
North Dakota are such as will place this
bill with others like it in the preferred
class for killing. They also hold that If
the superintendent feel they are not re-
ceivine enough pay they might mako
some attempt for a raise. but as for mile
age-nixey.
