The Republican Nominee.

Senator William E. Borah Of Idaho,
reiterates that he is not candidate
for Presidential nomination and does
not expect to be considered as one. At
Springfield, Mass. he is quoted by the
Republican as saying:
Justice Hughes, of the supreme
court. will be nominated by the next
Republican convention. unless he is
sues prohibition stronger than any,
thing he has yet said and definitely
serves notice on the party that he will
reject the nomination even if the con-
vention formally selects him.
The Republican adds: THE earnest
ness with which Senator Borah made
his prediction was based, as he ex-
planned. upon the striking crystalIiza-
ton Of public sentiment in favor OF
Hughes throughout the West. Last
spring. in Washington, Senator Borah
made similar declaration to a repre-.
sentative of The Republican; but last
evening he appeared still more con-
WINGED of the matter. Senator Borah
has himself been widely and favorably
suggested as the Republican candidate
next year and 1t is on record that Col.
George Harvey Of the North American
Review, who long ago picked Wood.
row Wilson for the presidency when
most people didn't know who Wood
row Wilson was. has similarly staked
his reputation as a prophet by naming
Borah as the Republican nominee in
1916. But Senator Borah reasserted
last evening that he was not a candi-
date and that he did not expect to be
a candidate or to be considered as one.
In regard to the candidacy of Senator
John w. Weeks the senator from
Idaho while not abating his statement
in regard to Hughes, reported that
Weeks had made notably favorable
impression in the West and had won
many friends. Senator Borah smoke
of having had special opportunity to
judge as he had ,been in Spokane.
WASH. among other places, a short
time after Senator Weeks had an
peared there"
Whether it be Hughes, Weeks,
Borah. Burton or some other states
man in whom the country has conf
dence, 1t is evident that the rank and
file Of the Republican party demand
the best man available.

Editorial Comment
Nish or sus?

That word "Nish'' is the best the
war has afforded to conjure with.
We have daily expected Pats and
Knocks Owen to bust forth in song.
-Kennebec Journal.
At times we, also, has wondered
at this failure to bust forth, though
with respect to the main proposition
we beg to differ, respectfully but
firmly. Through the whole cam
paign, from the early days Of Pre-
mysl down through Dvinsk, Pinsk
and Baranovichi, there has been no
more promising opening for a song
ster like Pats and Knocks than that
which presented itself when the en-
battled legions were facing each
other along the River Bug. AS a
source of inspiration; Bug has Nish

verbal mile.-Biddeford Journal.

canal" and in an addrsss tn Nex

year candidate Wilson declared: "Our
platform is not molasses to catch flies
lit means. business. It means what It
says" In his message to Congress q
year after he was inaugurated Presi-
dent Wilson said: Il have come to ask
for the repeal Of that provision Of the
Panama Canal Act which exempts
vessels engaged in the coastwise trade
from the paying Of tolls. We
ought to reverse our action without
raising the question whether we were
right or wrong" This about face
finally was accomplished. with the aid
Of Republican votes. and the Admins
tration was well started on its back
tracking career.
Our readers will remember what the
President said to delegation Of suf-
fragists-that the Democratic platform
was silent on suffrage SO must he be.
Again he told another delegation that
he could not speak even as a private
citizen, because he was NOT a private
citizen.
Since that day he has moved.
President Wilson stubbornly pressed
for removal Of all duties on sugar
when the Underwood Simmons tariff
bill was in process. No one but the
President apparently wanted free
sugar and most Of the Democrats in
Congress realized that the loss OF more
than fifty millions in revenue annually
through sugar was something neither
the Administration nor the country
could afford. 1t was impressed upon
the President even by members of his
own party that the chief beneficiaries
Of free sugar would be the Sugar
Trust, from whose clutches he thought
he was delivering the people; but
nothing moved Mr.. Wilson from his
stern demand that the duties be abol-
ished. He even brought prejudice to
his aid by charging that an "insidious
lobby" was busy in Washington
against him, and Congress. running to
cover from the lobbyists. struck the
sugar duties off. 1t left a loophole,
however. for the duties were to be re-
duced only about twenty five per cent
for two years after the passage of the
act. Now the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, speaking with the full authority
of the Administration, announces that
Congress will be asked next winter to
repeal the free sugar clause and thus
conserve a revenue Of more than forty
million dollars a year.
And perhaps save some of the vote
of the sugar beet growers, whose in
dustry was threatened with complete
humiliation.
Some other day, 1t seems to US. a re-
view Of the pitiless publicity, and Civil
Service moves" would be interesting,

FIGHT IS ON
Some Interesting Developments
in the Camp Of Local
Democrats
Democrats

Minot, Sept. 30.-There is some
thing of an agitation in local demo-
cratic circles owe the possible ap-
pointment of the successor of Vic
Corbett for the United States land Of
flee in Minot. Just what the outcome
will be is something of a political
guess. The matter has received new
vitality since the death Of John Fahey
whom, it is stated. was to have had
the place. His death having eliminat-
ed the n person to whom the plum
was to have fallen, the hight for the
position has started in real earnest.
There are two avowed candidates
for the position. These are State
Committeeman w. C. I4cHugh and
City Auditor A D. Hagenstein. Mr..
McHugh has the backing of the coun-
ty organization, it is said. MI. Ha-
genstein, his friends declare, could
also have the endorsement of the or.
ganization if he sought it. But just
how the interests of these two oppo.
sition applicants could have the sup
port of the organization does not ap-
pear. Mr.. Hagenstein undoubtedly
has the backing Of the business lei
of the city by a considerable extent.
He is admirably qualified for the po-
sition and should have the backing Of
Treasurer Burke, for he was one of
those who took off their coats and
waded into the campaign when Burke
was making his first campaign for the
governorship. If faithful services are

to be rewarded, MI. Hagenstein would
probably get the plum.
But it must be conceded that the
Ward county organization has a long
pole and so far has been able to glom
all that it has gone after. The local
land office will probably go in &C.
cordance with it's demands.
1t is further SAID that National Com
mitteeman Brueger is in favor of Hal
vor l.. Halvorson for the land office
job. But as the national committee.
man has not had very much success
in bucking the local organization, it
is not probable that his man would
have much chance if there we're moth
ing back of it except his endorsement.
The truth is that Mr.. Halvorson is a
candidate for the nomination for gov.
ernor, and it, is not likely that A..
will care to mix that fight at home
with the land office job scrap.

To WRESTLE
WITH TEN INDIANS

One of the most unique wrestling
matches in the history Of the game
will he staged during the Mandan
Fair. At $50 o'clock Saturday night,
Joe Novak the 155 pound Bismarck
.grappler, will meet ten indians from
the Standing Rock Indian Reserva-
ton. The match will Ibe staged on the
,bcwery.
Novak guarantees to throw all ten
Indians, within the course of ono
hour. The Indians VINO will take par,
in the match, will be picked by
States Attorney LANCER OF Morton
county, and will weight all along the
scale from 1910 $50 pounds.
The match doubtless will prove a
most exciting one as some of the In
dams from the Reservation, r re-
puted to he first class grappiers, and
it will take a good man to throw most
of them, or all Of them at the rate Of
one every six minutes as Novak
agrees to do.
