majority is 2lS, hence should either
Democrats or Republicans win both
Of the contests they still would be

All of the independents are main
tanning strict silence, regarding their
attitude on the speakership, but the
Democratic and Republican leaders
are agreed on how most Of them will
vote, provided caucuses are held and
solidarity maintained by the two old
parties.

who formerly was Democratic men,
Der of the house, is listed as a Demo-
cratic probability. So are Randall

ana and has indicated that assurances
possession OF certificates of eection
will be his first concern in voting on

Democrat, however, and Democratic
leaders hope to get his vote At the
same time Republicans think he can
be convinced that their party is the
only one which has his sugar interests

Surprise In
North Dakota

North Dakota held her prima-
ries last week and the politicians
of that state have not yet recover
ed from the jolt handed them by
the non-partisan league ticket OF
the republican party. The nom
partisans have swept the board
clean, and every candidate endors
ed by them, from U. S. senator to
members of the legislature, has
been nominated. The two big
gest surprises were the majoritles
recorded against Hanna for the
senate and Burdick for the COVER
norship, the former losing to Nc
Cumber, the present incumbent,
by 10000 and Burdick to Frazier
by about 5000. The joke of the
campaign appears to have been

in America the best of the blood,

melted into a mighty and splendid
nation.
