THE action of the democratic state
central committee in rejecting the pri-
mary plan of electing delegates to the
state convention, was too much for the
Hon. Jerome J. Day. Mr.. Day, late a
candidate for national committeeman
has concluded that his business inter-
ests will not permit him to continue
his candidacy He has withdrawn
from the field
1T is little wonder that the Day
brothers have not gotten far in politics.
They seem to have congenital cold feet,
They can't stand the gait. They want
something handed them on a silver
worth while is going to be given them
they have another guess coming. Pro-
gress is made in politics by fighting
for it. They may as we'll know, also,
that cold feet is the severest handicap
any man can have in the game. Pol
itically no man can warm up to cold
feet.
1T is a matter of wonder to some
men why it is that other men succeed
in politics. We are of the opinion that
it is incomprehensible to Messrs. Day
why Mr. John F. Nugent, for instance,
can maintain his hold on the demo-
cratic party. We surmise that the
chief reason. is that Mr.. Nugent Is
willing to go down the line at any
time, even to complete defeat. His
friends know that once he has taken
stand that they can depend on him
being there at the finish. His law
practice or business interests do not
interfere with his plans simply because
the outlook is dark and gloomy. He
is up and fighting every minute of the
day and every day in the year. He is
a fixed quantity. He can be found
when he is wanted. He knows what
he wants and is willing to pay the
price. The price in politics is hard
work, sustained effort, public criticism
and private censure. There are few
men of that kind. The few men are
the leaders, and sooner or later sue
cessful leaders.

on rs per cent rolalty. Another was
willing to prospect even if the snow
was 10 feet deep If he could be shown
a tungsten mine. OF course both prop
ositions were respectfully turned down
While there is no doubt an open field
here for prospectors, a very large field,
they must have some experience in
that line for all kinds of mineral, not
merely tungsten, for there is copper,
lead, zinc, silver, gold and manganese
but no prospector or would-be pros
pector can be pointed directly to the
spot where they can be dug out in car
load lots.
This is another of the war babies"
that has come to the front and is now
quoted at 5000 ton. The writer saw
a sample of this the past week that
came from within two miles of Muir
ray and the finder said there was o
mountain of it," He does not have to
own very large mountain of the min
eral to go into the steel business with
Gary or Schwab and make munitions
for the allies If the war continues for
a decade or so longer the Murray dis
trict will be supplying nearly all the
war material. And upon the heels of
the tragedy Uncle Sam will come along
with his preparedness scheme and take
what is left. Therefore the writer ad-
vises all keen prospectors to turn their
faces this way when the grass gets
green again.

THE BASIN.
Option Given on Large Block of the
Treasury Stock.


AT meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Basin Mining company last
week an option was given to Herman
]. Rossi on 100000 shares of the treas
half, or from April l, 1916, to October
( l, 1917. At the same meeting Mr.. Ros-
ST was elected general manager of the
company, and under the agreement
with him work Is to be resumed on the
property as soon as the weather will
permit and two men at least must be
continuously employed. However, be-
fore Mr.. Rossi will proceed under his
option 1t will be necessary for all out
standing stock of the company to be
pooled during the life of the option,
and for that purpose stockholders are
requested to forward their stock to be
held in escrow by the First National
bank. The price to be paid for the
stock is not made public, but the en-
tire amount derived from the sale Is
to be used in developing the property,
which has been idle for nearly 10 years.
The Basin group consists of five pat
ented calims joining the Hercules on
the south. The Laclede forms the
western boundary of the group and the
Stanley joins 1t on the east. 1t is in
the heart of wonderfully rich sec
tion

ONE WAY TO BRIBE VOTERS.
Candidate Offers to Return Part Of His
SaIary-Held Corrupt.

The offer of candidate for public
office 10 turn back to the treasury all
MS salary above $500 if elected is
held by the supreme court of North
Lakota in OiehI VS.. Tottcn to be- VIC
Ation If the corrupt prL ,tce act dis
qualifying hir from ho .lg such Of
flee. In conttndlng that the Judgment
against him was wrong the defendant
said in his brief:
"In this case there is no corrupt in
tent, no wilful wrongdoing, but merely
a mistake as to the legal rights of the
parties, brought about by public dis
cussion of the question whether the
old officer was not collecting a larger
compensation than he was entitled to.
in all faith and with all law abiding
intentions 49,. he is not Gmorally
unfit to hold office, but is possessed
with the highest integrity"
The court held that while there was
much to support the defendants con-
tention, to approve it would defeat the
purpose of the act in question. During
most of the term of the previous in
cumbent the salary had been $500 and
if the defendant offered his services for
$500 less another person might offer to
do it for $1,000 below the salary, land
there would in truth be nothing to pre-
vent some rich aspirant from Offering
to donate to the county treasurer huge
sums of money and performing the
services gratis"
In concluding the opinion the court
said:
Appellant, probably through youth
and inexperience, looked upon this act
as one of generosity or even justice to
the taxpayers of his district and prob
ably never for moment realized the
construction that would be put upon
his words by others. AS we have al
ready said, however, the words speak
for themselves and we can not take
appellants Interpretation thereof. That
being the case, the best interests of all
concerned demand an enforcement OF
the plain provisions of the corrupt
practice act"

Machinery Has Arrived and Will Soon
BE in Operation.
Colonel W. f. Mann. president and
manager of the Polaris Development &
Mining company, reports that the COM
pressor and hoist which were lost in
transit and caused much delay in car
rying out the plans of the company,
have arrived and by this time have
probably been delivered at the mine.
All necessary buildings have been
completed and everything is in readi-
ness for the installation of the equip
ment. 1t is the intention OF the man
agement to sink the shaft 200 feet The
property has been idle for many years,
and it is stated that when operations
We're suspended there was a good
showing of gray copper in the shaft
carrying very high values in silver
The Polaris lies east of and adjoining
the Yankee Boy, the famous high
grade silver mine on Big creek and
is supposed to be the same vein. 1t is
stated also that the recent strike made
by the Big Creek Leasing company in
the lower workings of the Yankee Boy
is only about 500 feet from the west
end line of the Polaris. The ore on
the Polaris is of the same character. A
good wagon road on an easy grade
connects the Polaris with the rail-
road.
