The patty conventions to nominate
the candidates for office on the several

days. The republican convention was
held at Grand Rapids last week Fri

who was the big man The convention
simply refused to allow Wayne county
to have anything to do with the con-
vention and told the two factors to
go home and wash their own dirty

other business on its hands.
The result Of this decision has been
very popular all over the state and II

New York is not taking very kindly
to Governor Whitman's presidential
ambitions. His administration so far
has been anything but popular, espe-
cially in New York City. -
1t is said, on fair authority, that
Whitman's ambition for 1916 has az
fected his attitude toward state mat
tiers and considerable resentment has
resulted. His friends cautioned him
at the start to apply himself to purel."
administration matters and let his po-
litical fortunes shape themselves, for
the first year at least.
This advice has been ignoredAand
several steps of the Whitman admin
istration indicate that the former dis.
trict attorney has one eye glued on
the White House.
So far Whitman has proven a much
poorer governor than he was a dis.
trict attorney. In fact, even from his
friends are heard murmurings of dis
appointment. ~

on the ground that they would raise
the salaries Of county officers, and
also for the purpose Of securing a
more equitable assessment, the re.

the sheriff in %thelargest counties may

The pet measure known as the refer

Miss Grace, of Dickinson. Thay had
been on an auto trip Of over 1900
miles through southern California,
and had a most enjoyable time of it.
They left the latter part OF last week
for home via Salt Lake city, Utah.
where they will visit relatives for a
few days. Mr.. Crowl expressed him
self as more than we'll pleased with
the excellent showing North Dakota
is making at the exposition, and
thinks that many new settlers will be
attracted to the state as a conse-
quence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Hancock Of Far

North Dakota building several days

from southern California. Mr.. Han

architecture of the North Dakota
building, and before he left for home

From all appearances June will be
a good month for North Dakotans to

interesting events are scheduled for
that month, among which is North

on the 21st of that month. Every
thing on the grounds should be en-

REPUDlATED.

N.V ~ g.
Democrats throughout the state are
repudiating Hellstrom's latest move
to struggle into the limelight. His
referendum mill has been busy in
Bismarck for the last thirty days,
grinding out petitions to suspend laws
passed by the last legislature.
These are being sent to Democratic
postmasters and other federal Office.
holders throughout the state. In many
Instances the petitions have been re.
turned.
II The Tribune has been assured by
several Democratic leaders that the
movement has had no support from
them and that the party is against
referending any of the laws passed by
the recent legislature.
But Mr.. Hellstrom is bigger and
wiser than the party whose label he
wears. He is now organizing the So.
cialists and ~malcontents of all parties
in an effort to nullify much of the
good work of the Fourteenth Legis.
lative Assembly. One of the most re.
markable features of this campaign
to suspend certain laws ia the ahs0.
lutte lack of any reasons given for
their suspension.
The Knauf- Seller Buck organization
OF jamestown has not given any valid
arguments why these laws should be
suspended. They are working under
cover and using any party label to Sc.
cure their end-that of undoing the
work of the representatives of the
people.
when, the voters are thoroughly
aroused as to the motives behind
Hellstrom and his political i%tinerants,
1t will be a difficult task to secure
signers to petitions. The Tribune
calls attention to comments gathered
from the various state papers printed
in this issue, which reflect the senti-
ment not only of the editors, but to q
great degree of the communities In
which these weekly newspapers are
published.
No better service can be done the
state by its press than to, discourage
the signing of these petitions.
