gress, and when North Dakota
adopted the senatorial primary
law, Mr.. Marshall was one Of
the candidates to make the first
race for senator by direct vote
of the people. There were four
candidates in the field in 1908, +.
+. Marshall, NJ. N. johnson, H.
G. IAnstrough and C. B. Little.
In the June primaries Marshall
was high man, the votes being
as follows:
Marshall, 2l.527; johnson, IT,
453; Hansbrough drumming for re-
election) 1855; Little, 12,7S7.
Under the primary law none of
the candidates at the June ell
ection received sufficient votes
to elect, and another primary
was required between the two
highest men. Marshall and
johnson therefore ran again in
the fall and johnson won out the
vote being, johnson, 39,3O4; Mar
shall, 36,432.
NJ. N. johnson died in office
and in 1910 there was a double
primary election for senator, one
being named for the short term
to succeed johnson, and the other
to succeed Z. j. McCumber for
the long term. Marshall election
for senator, one being named
term against McCumber in 1910
and was again defeated in the
primary, the vote being Nc
Cumber, 2G,44l; Marshall, 25,288.
Just what effect the candidacy
of Mr.. Marshall would have on
the chances Of the other men is
problematic and will prove q
fruitful field for the political
prognosticators.
The announcement that Sen.
w. z. Rorterfield is to have the
backing Of powerful faction
of North Dakota democracy for
the nomination for governor is
another unusually interesting
piece Of political news. Mr..
PDrterfield is popular IN this
part of the state and would
make strong candidate for
the democrats.-Fargo Forum.

Both Sides Of The
Grain Market Given
Some Advise the Farmer to Sell
While the Selling is Good
and Others Says No
JIM ADVISES YOU TO SELL
Price Of Grain is Sure TO go up,
If Supply Does Not Exceed
the Demand

Harvey journal: AS is usual
at This time of the year the farm.
er is getting plenty of free ad-
wise from both sides Of the
lnarket, and sometimes it is a
little difficult to know which one
Of the kind Of advise is sincere
in his convictions.
For instance, James j. Hill ad-
vises you to sell, while the selling
is good. But the Great Northern
railroad collects freight charges
for every bushel Of wheat hauled
in it's cars, and maybe "Uncle
Jim" needs the money right now.
And the chambers Of com
merce people hold up bugaboo
III the shape Of the possibility Of
the Dardanells' being opened, or
or the Argentine crop supplying
the world.
Bosh and fiddlesticks!, just
at the present time the farmer
is nearer to regulating the mar
ket than he has been in some
years, and he can retain hat
control and strengthen it, if he
so wishes. Last week, when
damp weather stopped threshing
OPERATIONS for a week, the price
of wheat beguan to soar. If it
had not been for that rainy week
wheat would be selling today
for around the same figure as
three weeks ago-S2 cents in
Harvey. But few wise farm
ers' caught the lesson from study
ing the market reports, and the
tendency to hold grain for higher
prices is spreading.
All this talk about the Can
adian farmers being able to
take care of the export demand
is absolutely piff1e; as is the
statement, that, three months
from now. the Argentine crop
will supply the world. AL! this
rubbish is being promulgated by
the shorts" who are endeavor-
ing to convince the farmers
that Prices are higher than they
will be in the immediate future,
i'll an endeavCr to have the 1915
crop thrown on the market for
what it will bring the farmer
and the speculator will reap. the
profit.
No. So long as the demand is
as great as it is at present, and
there is no rush to market, the
price will stay where it is. IT
the supply exceeds the demand,
the prices will drop. So long as
the grain is withheld. from the
market for any reason whether
it be wet weather, or farmers
holding their grain, the price
is bound to rise until enough is
loosened up to meet the de-
mand. That is the simplest
sort Of logic.
