1t was a Turk in Tuns that I met;
Cross legged upon safron-colored

silent and impcrturbable he sat,
And. like nightmare, behold him

As parchment; yet his retrospective eye
Full of gray mediation on the thames

q. B. Burtness, candidate for member
OF Congress on the Republican ticket
was in the city Monday meeting with
people. Mr.. Burtness is . farmers boy,
raised on farm in Grand Forks county
near Gilby. He studied at the country
school in his homo district and then
went to the University where hegradua.
ted from the law department. His faith.
or is still on the homestead he settled on
in the latter 7O's. Can either of the
opposition candidates show as close re-.
lation to the tillers of the soil as Mr..
Burtness can? We see no reason why
every farmer in this district should not
rally to the support OF Mr.. Burtness.as
against his opponents who have had
nothing in common with the tillers Of
the soil, and we question il they can tell
a SOW thistle from dandellne. Abra-
ham Lincoln was accused of being unfit
for the position of president for being
nothing but railsplitter, but he proved
to the people that he was the right man
in the right place. The farmers of this
district should be proud to be able to
place one Of their sons in congress
Mr.. Burtness is fluent speaker and his
appearance show him to be a person
who can be relied on.

The pollteness was equal on both
sides. The French sovereign gave
proof OF SO magnanimous a monarch
by abandoning his. prerogative Of pre-
cedence in his own dominions to the
Scotch viscount.
The English ambassador returned the
compliment by yielding immediate obe-

was not his master. Neither sacrifice
was Outdone by the other.

A LINE OF POLITI.
CAL CLEAVAGE.

The conglomeratlons made by the
primary law in the present congressional
election in this district, have at least
Nonpartisan and the Republican party.
Last year while the Nonpartlsan party
claimed to be Nonpartlsan republican or
nonpartisan democrats and so registered
themselves enough leaving out the Non
partisan cognomen. They held secret
caucuses and conventions independent
OF the old party organizations refusing
them admistance in their councils but
voted at election time as nonpartisan
only.
But at that time Mr.. towlley told
them to take no part in the congression
al or county contests as all that was
wanted was to elect state officers. But
this year flushed with victory and gorg
ed with power, he assumes to nominate
candidats for Congress for the Republic
an party, without consulting anybody ex-
cept his own immediate official circle.
Through state chairman Lembke he is
trying to make his nominee the only
legal nominee of the republican party
Notwithstanding the fact that con.
vention Of regularly elected delegates
from the whole district, l95 in number,
nominated o. B. Burtness as such. can.
didate.
These two nominations, outside of
legal complications, clearly indicate one
fact beyond dispute, first that the Non.
partisan party is party. and that the
republican party is party, and that
hereafter the political issues will be
fought out on such lines.
One of the humorous things connect
ed with the convention business is that
Townley is now strongly oblecting to
the Republican convention at Grand
Forks making nominations after he had
told the republican party who should be
named.
According to Townley it is the proper
thing for Nonpartisans to hold secret
caucuses and conventions but it is illeg.
al and wrong for republicans SO to do.

THE PROGRESS or THE WAR.

The Russians have apparently waken,
ed up and report successes with the cap
ture Of q, 100 prisoners. A continuation
& of such work will do more to solidify the
new government than any other possible
thing, while defeat on the field would
correspondently weaken the authority
OF the new government.
The British are still crowdlng back
the Germans from Lens, advancing on
three sides end have nearly surrounded
that city.
The Germans have been making heavy
attacks on the French near Verdun and
''Dead Mans Hill" is again familiar
name in the dispatches. The Germans
succeeded in driving back the French al
6tst but later the French recovered
about all the lost ground.
The Austrians have been attempting
to take the offensive against the Italians
near Trieste, but so far have failed in
making any substantial gains.
American soldiers are cow in France
Their numbers are not great as armies
aEe now constituted but the morale oi
their presence means very much to the
entente armies.
Dispatches state thet the submarines
tried to get one of the Amenicans trans
ports but not only failed but one sub.
marine was sunk.
Arrangements for the conscription are
being rapidly made but the date issnot
yet fixed. 1t is not probable that those
drawn will be called to the colors before
September.
Some rather strong opposition is de-
veloplng.,n Camilla against couscription
and Winnipeg had quite a riot this week
because the anti-conscriptioaists at
tempted to hold meeting wh4eh was
broken up mostly by returned soldiers. :.

DON'T. WASTE YOUR VOTE.

Owing to the fool vagaries of the pri-
mary law there will be several names In.
cluding that of Judge Wick printed on
the official ballot. Judge Wick and some
of the others are not candidates and tried
to have their names taken off the ballot
but the law forbids.
There are just four real candidates
running. John M. Baer, Nonpartisan;
O. 3. Burtness. Republican; Geo. Bangs,
Democrat and II. H. Aaker who is an
independent nominee.
A vote for any other name on the bal
lot will be counted but will only scatter
the votes.
