LOOK WELL TO YOUR BALLOT

Newspapers or politicians who
really believe that anything they
may say or print on the eve Of cleo
ton regarding the character or quail
fications of a candidate must have a
very low estimate of the intelligence
of the average voter, when we be-
lieve to be observing, thinking men
and women who will judge a man
by his past private and political life,
and not by what political boosters
or friendly or unfriendly newspapers
may say about him. The day has
passed when voters can be deceived
by false rumors to vote against a
worthy man, or to vote for an un.
worthy one, for the average voter
sizes a candidate up by what he
has been in the past, and not by
what he will do in the future il
elected to public office
With few exceptions every Re
publican aspirant for political office
at the approaching primaries have
private and political records that
are we'll known to the public, and
upon these records should depend
their political SUCCESS at the polls
1t is true they may not be infallible
but If they are honorable, honest and
reliable private citizens and officials
they are all that can be expected Of
them and should receive the sup
port Of all good citizens who viii
not be influenced by political rumori
or malicious and unfounded charges

CAN REQUIRE OATH
At PRIMARY ELECTION

In Idaho at least, according to the
primary law amended by the last
legislature, there seems to be no
provision for a change of political
faith, which might be possible be-
tween the last general election and
the primary, inasmuch as there is
no provision in the law as to how an
clector can become member OF the
political party the candidates of which
he wishes to vote for 1t is claimed
that many of the politicians who were
working overtime to throw restric-
lions around the primary law are
now kicking themselves for their &C.
tivities There are a number of in
teresting features in connection with
it.
The primary law provides when
an elector offers to vote, he shall
call for the ballot of the political
party of which he is a member and
shall have the right to receive the
ballot of such party only. He may
be challenged on the grounds that
he is not a member of such political
party and required to take the fol-
lowing oath:
'"Do you solemnly swear that you
are member of the (naming the
political party Of the ticket called
for) and that you intend to affiliate
with such party at the next general
election and hiatt you intend in good
faith to support it's candidates gen
orally and If upon being required
to make such oath or affirmation by
a Judge of election he refuses he shall
not be permitted to vote.
"a political party of which the
elector is required to be member
Is defended by the primary law Al
follows:
"'A political party within the mean
ing of the primary law. is an affilia
ton of electors representing a politi
cal organization under a given name
which at the last preceding genera
election. cast for any candidate Of
their ticket at least 10 per cent o
the total vote cast for all candidate
for the same office"

SUFFRAGE BODIES
SHOW Big INCREASE
Mrs. Darrow, State President
Gave Interesting Talk Here
Yesterday.

Mrs. Clara N. Darrow, president Of
the State Suffrage association, was
the speaker at the meeting Of the Bis
marck Suffrage association yesterday,
at the home Of Mrs, Bodenstab. She
took up the work over the state, and
pointed out that, whereas theer were
five suffrage associations in the state
in February, there are now 70 of them
actively working. There are also 200
". C. T. US which are active in
the cause.
The musical program rendered by
the young ladieswas excellent, and
was thoroughly enjoyed. The house
was prettily and appropriately deco
rated The business meeting showed
q total OF 1856 new members. The ex-
chequer is in very satisfactory con-
dition, and voluntary contributions
have aided the work OF the associa-
ton greatly.

is to speak in this ffcity on Sept. 1S.
She will speak at ten cities in this
state. Mrs. Shaw is. one Of the most
prominent women orators in the coun-

crosses, that are being handled. Much
trouble has been experienced with
the negro women who openly solicit
and who through q clever system OF
pocket-picking have been able to pay
any nominal fine. It was found that a
medium fine would not do ny good
and now every one that is found gull,
ty Is given the maximum. The. result
il that three are serving forty day
sentence in the Jail being unable to
raise the required $50 which will gain
their liberty.
Commissioner Jordan said that the
police are finding that this class Of
negroes are departing from the town
and each day finds them fewer In
number. This Is a. good thing tas
there were rumors afloat that the res.
idents of the First ward intended to
start something that would put an
end to the trouble the negroes have
been causing. 1t is along the river
bank and in the hollow portions OF
the, First ward that the colored' vags
have been hanging out.
This class Of cO1ored people have
mostly been driven out Of the other
cities and spotted Fargo as an easy
place to land and make a living.
However they found that it Is NOT, q
healthy place to locate permanently
and they will probably steer clear Of
the town in the future. 4
There will be no .let-up in the cam
paig1n to keep this class Of undyafaiir-
ables out of the city. II, vs. ~ H. y

BOY shot.

Crookston, Mimi. Aug. 26.-Oscar
Hendrickson, aged IA, lies in q YER
.ious condition at st. Vincent's4 hospi-
tai as the result of a bullet wound he
received while he and another boy
named Mervin Avelsgard were engag-
ed in picking plums q short distance
south OF, the city !, +
Young Hendrickson was shot in the
abdomen, the bullet penetrating the
bowels and %inflicting q most danger
Gus wound. Unless blood poisoning
develops, however, the boy has a good
chance for recovery. His life ia at
stake on that one doubtful question
at the present time. /
When young Hendrickson received
the bullet wound he was standing on
the ground underneath a tree, while
the other boy was up the tree looking
for plums.
His companion has admitted that
the wound was inflicted from q %
rifle which Melvin was holding and
which was accidently discharged: He
has been placed under arrest, charg-
ed with criminal negligence, pending
the outcome of the case.
