DEMOCRATIC EXPLORING
COMMITTEE WILL MEET

Devils Lake, N. D., April S.-A call
has been issued by Col. Jos. M. Kelly
of this city for a meeting of the "ex-
ploring" committee of the democratic
party, appointed at the recent Minot
conference to see that a full state
ticket was placed in the field, which
will be held at Fargo, at the state
democratic headquarters, April 10.
The fact hat the bull moose party
will have a ticket in the field not only
at the June primaries, but at the
November election, coupled with the
fact that there is a healthy break in
the republican party, divided among
the LaFollette progressives and the
conservatives. has tended to brighten
the prospects of the democratic party
in North Dakota and there is every
indication, according to Colonel Kelly,
that a full ticket will be in the field,
fighting from first to las for the
democratic cause. In concluding his
call to the member sof the committee
Colonel Kelly says:

James Gaughan has suggested a very
feasible plan for getting over the diff

He would have the waters conducted
along First street commencing at First

There is a ravine at Fourth avenue

in the business districts Of the village
is obnoxious for many reasons

G~aughan. Midway between First ave-

STANLEY'S ELECTION
REBUKE TO SPRAKE

Casselton, N. D., April Sin the
election of George Stanley for mayor
of this city Monday over J. w. Bull
lard, it was a fight centered not so
much on the candidates as on the
source of the latter's support, DR..
Srrake, who has controlled local poll
tics for a number Of years. Mr.. stan
'ley's victory is regarded here more or
less Of a rebuke to DR.. Sprake.
1t was a holly contested election
The opposing candidates for mayor
are both estimable and popular gem
tIenen Inc the campaign was entirely
devoid of personalities or abuse.
1t was purely a Sprake and anti
Sprake fight. DR.. Sprake espoused
the u Of Mr.. Billiard. the defeated
candidates. n the ants supported
Mr.. Stanley, who received over so per
cent Of the entire vote cast.
The general opinion seems to be
that this decisive defeat marks the
end of DR.. Sprake's political influence
in Casselton and that in the future his
support will prove a handicap rather
than a help.
