A CORRECTION.

Through erroneous information
furnished the report of the Wood.
men convention was in error on two
points. A communication from G. v.
Hclset of Napoleon, sets this matter
right and W gladly give the matter
publicity.
Editor Tribune:
Dear Sir: l notice by reading the
article which appeared on the 18th,
under "Woodmen Adopt Raise OF
Rates" you state that a secret bal.
let was taken which showed that
the delegates we're in favor of raise
of rates. You also state that r. A.
Talbot and the present board of man.
ayers were endorsed for reelection.
Both of these statements are
wrong as the question of raise of
rates was taken up by district eau
Gus, if at all, and Talbot or the
board of managers was not endorsed,
but on the contrary a resolution to
endorse them was voted down by bal
lot in the convention. The second
district, which l represent as dele
gate to the National Convention, in.
structed their delegate to vote for
no raise of rate. 7
Believing that in fairness to all
parties this correction should be
made. aud with no intention to criti.
CHE the Tribune or any person, |
deem it my duty to sign this COM
m%unication:
Trusting this will be given as
prominent a place in your paper as
the other article, | am respectfully
yours,

Delegate.
TRisUTE TO FUTILE.
Editor Bismarck Daily Tribune:
Dear Sir: In a recent issue of
your paper I notice the name Of Col
onel VIM. P. futile as a candidate
for congress from the second dis
trict Of North Dakota.
AS that gentleman has signifed
his willingness to accept the nomin-
alton for that office l cannot let the
matter pass without saying a word
for "the Colonel" and a true loyal
friend tc all mankind, and should
he receive the nomination and be
elected North Dakota could feel
proud in having such a man as it's
representative in the halls of the u.
S. Congress. l know. from a very
close friendship with the man, that
he will give his best for the protec-
ton and progress OF his constituents
and. at the same time be true to the
progressive republican principles CT
the grandest party of this country.
It Was through The efforts and from
the platform CT tina: party that the
Middle West was born, grew and be.
came prosperous. The tariff which
was always protected by the repub-
lican party, gave the farmers of the
West protection for their wool, corn
and wheat, the heart blood of that
section, and today the West is pros
porous and the mortgages of a score
OF years ago, which were held by
eastern capitalists, have been paid,
and the western farmer owas his
farm, his home made comfortable, his
children educated and his work made
light by machinery, that the profit
from his harvests allowed him to
purchase, the West needs the assis.
lance OF the East today that it's great
unsettled territory may be settled,
and the fertile soil made to produce
in abundance crops for. the eastern
markets. The East needs the assis.
lance Of the West, that it ma keep
the thousands of spindles in it's i'm
mclse factories turning. Both sec
tons must become one, through our
representatives in congress-, by up-
holding the principles of the pro-
gressive Republican party of today.
have prospered under it's banner
in the past and our SON. will pros
per, and become thorough American
citizens under it in the future.
If the people of North Dakota send
Colonel VIM. P. Tuttle to Congress
they will have placed one more rock
III the firm foundation for the pro.
erosion and u%pbuilding of ours, the
greatest and grandest republic on
the face of the globe.
