Palladium predicts that no or.
eanized opposition to the ticket
placed in nomination BY the
farmers of North Dakota will
develop within the ranks of
of the republican party, and
further predicts that the entire
ticket will be victorious in the
November election. The peo-
pie have registered their choice
at the primaries in too emphatic
a manner to leave room for
doubt as to the final outcome,
and political sore-heads and
party disruptionists will meet
with scant encouragement from
the voters next fall. - Bismarck

The victory of the candidates
endorsed by the Nonpartisan
league at the primary election
last week is one of the great
est uprising of the common
people against the bossism and
gang rule of the practiced poll
ticians ever successfully car
ried through in the history of
the Union. The eyes of the
entire galaxy of states has been
on North Dakota during these
parlous times, aud that the
example set by her in the cleo
ton will be followed by many
others at the elections two
years from now is an assured
fact. In this, as in other
things, North Dakota leads and
points the way.-New Rock"

BoTH of the old political part
les succeeded in chloroforming
the advocates of equal suffrage
to sleep by passing a suffrage
plank supposedly of a favor
able nature, but in effect op-
posing a federal amendment.
Both party planks favor the
adoption of equal suffrage
by states" meaning that if
individual states grant the
franchise to women the nation
al parties will not frown upon
such action. But tacitly these
planks r. opposed to federal
legislation on the suffrage
question, for the reason that
they recommend that this be
referred to the different states.
A n d federal legislation is
really the only legislation the
national conventions are sup.
posed to deal with. Those

SUNDAYS automobile accident
in the Turtle Mountains should
serve as a warning and some
provision be made for the clear
ing away of the trees and un-
derbrush of the many sharp
turns, both on the Lake Metz
goshe road and the Pelican
Lake road. There is a great
deal of automobile traffic over
these roads during the sum-
mer months and that accidents
are not more frequent is mere
ly a stroke of good luck. Some
day. unless the necessary pre-
cautions are taken, some fatili-
ty will occur that will shock
the entire community. Even
with the greatest of care on the
part of drivers, there are places
particularly on the Pelican road,
where it would be almost inn
possible to avoid an accident,
If two cars happened to meet at
Just the right moment. Clear
ing away the timber for a short
distance inside these sharp
curves would give the drivers
some chance of getting their
machines under control in time
to avoid a catastrophe.

Percy Trubshaw, editor of
the Valley City Courier, who
was defeated for the legislature
in his district by a Nonpartisan
candidate, takes the following
philosophical view of the sit
uation: The farmers of the
state, true to their promise,
well stick swept the board
clean in last Wednesdays pri-
mary election, closing one of the
most remarkable campaigns
ever put on in this or any other
state. There is no use talking
we have got to take off our
hats to Mr.. Townley and his
bunch of political associates
who planned and carried out
this stupendous campaign.
While there will perhaps be a
lively fight in the fall election,
it hardly seems possible that
if the farmers stick to their
nominees anybody but the ones
nominated on the non-partisan
ticket last Wednesday can be
elected. Never in the history
of man have farmers ever
stuck together like they did
at this last election, but it is
apparent that they have become
tired of promises and propose
to take the matter in their own
hands. Mr.. Frazier, nominat-
ed for governor, is one of the
clean men of the state, and if
he has the backbone to be gov
ernor himself, we do not antici-
pate that the state will be turn
ed bottom side up under his
administration. When he and
his associates are indicted into
office in January-if they are
there will be a cleaning out of
the official stables that will no
doubt relegate to the rear a
number of administration pets
who will have to buckle down
to real work if they want to
live. To the victors belong
the spoils and the non-partisans
will demand their pound of
flesh just the same as any other
politican-and they are entitled
to all the spoils. AS We SOW so
shall We reap. We are expect
ing a good crop in North Da-
kota this year.

w. F. CUSHING, secretary of
The North Dakota railroad COM
mission, in an interview in the
Fargo Courier-News yesterday
morning, presumes to state
that there is "a growing de-
mand for a real republican
ticket to be submitted to the
voters, this fall; that the NOM
inees who won out in the pri-
maries on the republican ticket
won through the collision of
democrats and socialists, and
that inasmuch as the Nonparti-
sans now in control of the party
machinery do not feel bound
to support nominees who won
out against the Nonpartisan
candidates, there is a general
movement for a ticket that will
unite all the fractions of the
republican party this fall"
The past few DAYS must indeed
have been fine growing
weather, if a movement of the
magnitude described by Mr..
Gushing could have taken form
80 very soon after the results
of the recent primary election
had become known. The pol
ished secretary of the state
railroad commission should
speak for himself, and not pre-
sumo to voice the sentiments
