Saturday afternoon John Biltcliffe a
transient thresher, was taken before
Justice McNab and waived examina-
ton when given his preliminary hear
ing upon a charge of attempting to
burn up the threshing outfit of Alex.
Mcdonald. He had been in Jail since
arrested last week, when he was prac-
tically caught in the act of attempting
to start a fire with straw underneath
the separator. Defendant was re-
manded to Jail pending his trial at the

In the selection Of Attorney Fred w.
Mclean, of Fargo as the secretary of
the democratic state committee, the
wisest and best possible step has been
taken to insure party success at the
polls in the campaign which reaches
its climax at the election in Novem-
Der. He is not untried in this capa-
city having handled the leadership of
the party's interests in two previous
campaigns. Mr.. Mclean is conserva-
tive as we'll as aggressive and demo-
Gratis over the state appreciate the
fact that with him at state h~eadquar-
tiers in Fargo they will get a square
deal.

From the editorial tone of that
paper the past few days it is evident
the Fargo Courier-News has been
shown the light of stalwart republi-
canism and lost considerable of it's
stand as an independent paper. 1t
uow denounces as political heresy the
idea that there is anything in all the
talk heard nowadays of the agricul-
tural college revolt and attempt
through political intrigue to GUST j.
H.. Worst from the presidency of that
institution. 1t looks almost as if the
Courler-News was about ripe to boiler
Its head off in the excitement of at
tempting to get a pail with which to
carry water to the Hanna elephant.

THE PARTY PLATFORM

The platform adopted by the demo-
cratic party of this state at the meet
ing held at Bismarck recently by the
state central committee, is clear cut
and puts the democrats squarely in
line with and unfolding President
Wilson and the national administra-
ton. This makes the issue a clean
cut one in the state as the republicans
are opposed to the national adminis-
tration as a whole, and therefore the
voters of North Dakota at the cleo
ton in November will have the oppor-
tunity to pass squarely upon the
issue of the approval or disapproval of
President Wilson's policies, which by
the way appear to have the unquali-
fed approval of the people of the
entire United States, if public senti-
ment at the present time may be
taken as a criterion.
On another page in this issue the
platform is presented to the readers
Of the Democrat and its careful peru
sal and preservation is recommended.
The plank in reference to the politi-
cal disturbance in the administration
of the affairs of two state institutions,
the state university at Grand Forks
and the agricultural college at Fargo,
was made necessary and proper by
reason of the fact that a number of
both independent and republican
papers have previously brought very
specific charges, which seem to be
we'll substantiated and indicate that
these two institutions are being in
fected with the "business administra-
Slon'' of the present political powers
that be at the head of state affairs.
1t is therefore right and proper that
the democratic party, in order to be
consistent with the wise administra-
ton of Ex-Governor John Burke, is
naturally solicitous about the proper
management and conduct of these two
state institutions.
At another time the Democrat
hopes to give more extended comment
pf the different planks which will be
found in the platform.

Another county was placed on the
map of the state of North Dakota the
past week when the governor signed
the charter which creates the new
county of Sioux, composed of the
Standing Rock Indian reservation,
south of the C%annonball river and
between the Missouri river and Adams
county. The population of the new
county thus formed is 3, 500 and its
area is made up of thirty-two town
ships. The logical location of the
county seat is at Fort Yates.

Last week the Progress man tried
to inject a little ginger into the Wales

busy and make needed repairs on the

conditions now are highly favorable to
put the road in condition for travel, if
time can be spared to do the work.

The fairness and observation-disclosures
of the Hannah Moon is something we
cannot refrain from commenting upon
and the short editorial item which
follows, irrespective of politics, must
appeal to all who believe in a square
deal:
"Some of the candidates for the
November election are beginning to
muster their forces in preparation for
the campaign. Fair play is just as
much a part of ultimate success in
politics as it is in business. Any
candidate who tries to elect himself
by slandering his opponent is I'M
worthy to fill the office to which he
asplres. A clean campaign is alone
worthy of American ciizens.'

That the polls Of members OF Congress
taken by various press bureaus on the

are greatly underestimated is the state
ment made by the Congressional commit
tee of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. These range from

Either of these figures is far too low.
according to the suffrage count.
For weeks and months members OF the
committee have been interviewing Con-
Eressmen with reference TO their attitude
on the suffrage amendment. The results
of the interviews have been filed in a
cnrd index. Upon this data the suftra-
gists base their estimates.
The information so recorded, however,
is confidential. Members IRE willing to
give expression to their views privately
when they will not do it for PubIica-
tiCn. It is for this reason that the suf-
frage committee claims that its own poll
is the more accurate.
At the same time it IS recognized by the
advocates of suffrage that the vote for
their resolution will be affected by the
fact that it was reported out with the
prohibition resolution. Their full strength
will not be shown in the vote, they say.
