THE RIGHT MAN FOR

Hon. A. M. Christensen, of Towner,
who is a candidate for the position Of
Supreme Court Judge, is the right
man for the position. He is an able
attorney, and has showed in the past
that he has all the necessary qualiica-
tons to make a splendid man fol, the
position. The people Of North Dako-
ia will make no mistake in seeing that
he Is elected to this high position. Al

CHRISTIANSON A CANDIDATE.

The people of this section of the state who have known Hon.
A. N. Christensen for so many years, and who are thoroughly
acquainted with his exceptional ability and sterling qualities, are
more than pleased to know that he has decidedto enter the race for
a position on the supreme bench of the state, in opposition to
Judge Spaulding. While we have no particular fault to find with
MI. Spaulding, it would give us the greatest pleasure to see Mr..
Christianson elevated to the bench, as he is most eminently well
of the common people of North Dakota, where he has
lived the greater part of his life. We know that it will excite no
without a peer in the legal profession of the state. His ability is;
recognized throughout the length and breadth of the state and his
opinion on intricate legal matters carries with it a weight that is
recognized by every one Of the profession. It is a pleasure for us

Of the state in his high and worthy aspirations.-The Rugby

President Roosevelt says that in selecting a judge Of the s-
preme Court, he gave more attention to the type Of the candidates
mind than to his legal attainments. When he found a high class
lawyer with a progressive mind, that was the man he chose.
President Roosevelt was right. The people should choose their
judges in the same way. They have a chance to so choose this fall
by voting for A. M. Christensen, of Towner, for Supreme Judge Of
this State. MIR. Christianson is a lawyer of great ability who has
remained in touch with, and in sympathy with, the common people.
He is a true Progressive.

A. M. Christensen, the well known Towner attorney, has an
nounced himself as a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court,
and with his large acquaintance throughout the state and his high
standing among his fellow attorneys ought to be an easy winner.
He is, in our opinion, eminently qualified for the position to which
he aspires, as he is a lawyer of exceptional ability, a discriminat-
ing Judge of testimony and a man that can be depended on as alb
%soutely fair and impartial at all times.-TheW olford Mirror, May

4. CHR1sTANSON IS A CANDIDATE FOR THE SUPREME
RENCH

Hon. A. M. Christianson, of Towner, has finally DECIDED TO
enter the race for Judge of the Supreme Court of North Dakota.
In giving this fact pronunciation we e9 derive pleasure ne s9aea OF n IL IS Go n
this community, but throughout this queeniy state OF ours; And'
while we trust not to be censured by Mr.. Christlanson tor the as
sertion, and with all due respect to the city IN which ne resides
and practises law, we are and have been of the opinion that Towner
is not sufficiently large to afford him scope to DO justice to himself
and his ability as a lawyer. ~'
Mr.. Christensen is a conscientious malone in whom all
clients may place their faith and rest assured of a square deal"
This fact alone has won him a host of friends.
Mr.. Christensen, after locating in Towner for several years,
was elected to the office of States Attorney for McHenry county,
which office he held for two terms. Since then he has devoted his
entire time to his individual law practice, and, through his strong
personality and unerring judgment, has gained a reputation that is
more than state wide.

Bantry Advocate, May %, 1914.
While Judge Morgan was Chief Justice, the North Dakota
Supreme Court was held in the highest esteem. 1t IS only since
Spaulding became Chief Justice that it has fallen in public esteem.
There must be something wrong with the head. A court generally
reflects the ability of it's chief justice. Can any one name any great
decision rendered by Judge Spaulding? We have never heard OF
one. If this is his record for eight years, service, why not make a
change, and place a real lawyer on the Supreme bench?

yet Chief Justice spalding wrote only II controlling opinions from

A. NJ. CHRISTIANSON
FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT.

Al M. Christensen, of Towner, is a candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court, to succeed Justice Spaulding, whose term will ex-
pire in January. If there is one man in Mcaenry county who is
we'll known and at the same time ~favorably known, it is A. M.
Christensen. We expect to see practically a solid vote for him in
this county as we'll as in other counties in the northwestern part of
the state. That he will make a formidable candidate goes without
saying. AS a lawyer, he is one the leading legal lights of the state
and the voter that knows of his ability will kot hesitate in giving
him his vote. We could write a good deal in favor Of MIR. Christian
son, but he is so well known to our readers that we would only be
repeating that with which they are familiar. His friends here will
take an active part in seeing that he gets a good vote at home and
in seeing that others in various parts Of the state know of his
qualifications. We look forward to Mr.. Christianson's election

TampicO, Mexico, June 30 (Via La. redo, Texas, July 1)-Apprehension of trouble today continued in the Pa nuco oil region among the foreign element. The arrival of troops sent by General Candido Aguilar appar- entity did not restore confidence and the Tampico-panuco Company, an English concern, suspended opera tions and directed all it's employees to return to Tampico. This was said to be in response to a cable from London.
 Various other companies in the same region have prepared boats in which to bring their employees down the river to Tampico at a moments notice.

CANTEEN SCANDAL
 IN ENGLISH ARMY
MEETING OF SOUTHERN INTER COLLEGIATE ASSOCIATION TO
 BE HELD AT ATLANTA.
Will Consider Objections to Some of the Rules Now in Vogue and Other Needed Changes.

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.-Resolutions requesting President w. NJ. Riggs and the executive committee of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic As sociation to call a meeting of the as sociation in Atlanta July IS to con- slider objections of some of the mem bers of the organization to certain of it's rules were adopted at a meeting of representatives of seven colleges here today. The question of summer
 baseball was also considered, but no definite action was taken.
 Resolutions adopted asked that the proposed meeting of the association
 take up the question of equalizing
 the educational requirements of members of the organization, in so far as they relate to members of athletic teams; that the present one year rule, as adopted at the last an nual meeting of the association, be
 modified; that the whole problem of passing on eligibility of athletics be considered and that the association
 take up the question of restrictions
 upon the relations of it's members with outside college"
 Today's meeting was called at the
 instance of the athletic authorities of
 Vanderbilt University, which recently
 withdrew from the association be-
 cause of dissatisfaction over the one year rule and other regulations of
 the association. The meeting was at
 tended by representatives of the | University of Georgia, Georgia School
 of Technology, the University of Ala
 bama, Vanderbilt, University of the
 South (Sewanee), and Auburn, and Clemson colleges.
 Dr. George H. Denny of the Univer- sity of Alabama presided. At the
 close of the session an executive
 committee composed of Hugh M.
 Jordan, Jr., J. E. Crenshaw of Geor-
 gia Tech, and Dr. Denny, was ap- pointed to complete the work started by the meeting.
 Charles c. Trabue, who repre- sented Vanderbilt University, did not
 vote at the meeting. He said he had no authority to commit Vanderbilt to any course of action and that such
 matters would have to be decided by the university. Thomas Bragg, who
 represented Auburn, and J. w. Can't of Clemson, both declined to vote on Tthe same grounds.
 The Vanderbilt authorities recently requested President Riggs of the as- sociation to call a meeting of repre- sentatives of the various members President Riggs replied that he had no authority to do so.
 Today's meeting was called by lfHugh M. Gordan, Jr., secretary of the athletic board of Georgia University.

Rest of Six Weeks, the Physician Says, Will Put Him in Shape for Further Speech Making.

New York, July 1-Theodore Roose- velt in all probability will not be forced to give up his campaign this year because of his physical condi- ton.
 The colonel learned this today after an examination by a throat special ist who gave him the most encourag- ing report he has had. The physician said that if the colonel would rest for the next six weeks and then if the re- current attacks of fever could be con troIed he probably would be in as good voice as ever
 The expectations that Colonel Roosevelt would be in good fighting trim before the campaign is in full swing Immediately caused a revival of efforts to induce him to accept the progressive nomination for governor of New York. Members of a delega- tion that called on him said he had told them he would give the matter serious consideration.
 The specialist, Dr. II. Holbrook Cur tis, said Colonel Roosevelt was suf- ferilg from relaxation of the muscles of the arynx. There were, he said, no signs of organic trouble.
 Six weeks is a whole lot better than four months,' the colonel said after he had heard Dr. Curtis opin- ion. His report surely is encourag- ing"
 Dr. Curtis told him, he said. that under no circumstances should he make speeches in the open air That, ne added, meant that on his campaign trips he would not be able to address crowds at the stations from the rear of his car, The colonel said he would do His best to live up to Dr. Curtis advice.

DEFENSE SCORES
 IN MURDER TRIAL
FOUR WITNESSES SWEAR TO AllBl FOR MAN CHARGED
 WITH KILLING CHAUFFEUR.

Albany, N. Y., July -Four wit nesses swore today that Malcolm Clifford, Jr., on trial here charged With murdering Frank J. Cute, was not the passenger Cute carried in his automobile the night he was slain. A fifth witness was somewhat uncertain, but was of the opinion that the man he saw in the car was not Clifford. This testimony opened the defense's case.
 The star witness for the defense was Samuel ID. Gibson of Troy. who told Of seeing Cute on the nght of the murder cranking his car at the spot where his body was found the next morning. The witness also de- clared he saw Clute's passenger leave the car. The witness testified he knew Clute by sight only. Attorney William Travers Jerome, chief coun- SCI for Clifford, asked:
 Would you know that man if you saw him again?"
 q would" Gibson replied.
 Malcolm, stand up," continued Mir. Jerome.
 The court room became quiet. The young defendant rose slowly, ad- justed his cravat, shook out the creases in his trousers and looked straight at the witness.
 'ls that the man?" queried Jerome.
 Tt is not; the passenger was an older man," Gibson replied.
 One of the first witnesses for the defense was Alexander B. Blandy of Hoosic Falls, one of Gifford's former classmates. Blandy testified he tray eled with Clifford from Hoosic Falls to Troy on the day of the murder and that Clifford wore gray gloves. The prosecution has sought to connect Clifford with a pair of brown leather gloves found near Clute's body.
 It was thought tonight the defense would close its case tomorrow.
