According to late election returns
given by the Courier News, indicate
that the entire nonpartisan league
ticket has been nominated by the peo-
pie of the state in the primary cleo
ton Of Wednesday. The Courier
News also claims the nomination Of
Baer for congress in the first district
and of James Sinclair, in the third,
who is reported to have defeated Con-
gresham P. D. Norton. Fifteen
thousand majority is claimed for Fraz-
Ter. The heavy German counties out
west reversed themselves from two
years ago and gave Frazier a great
boost. You can draw your own con-
illusions as to what that means. We
take it that the pro-German element
of the state voted solidly to endorse
an outfit that started out when war
was declared against Germany to en-
barrass our government, advise peo-
pie not to buy Liberty Bonds or War
Savings Stamps, and whose organizers
time and again on the stump tried to
get people to go against the govern
ment's policy Of conscription-in fact
done everything possible to hinder the
government, yet the state of North
Dakota is to be held up to the rest
of the union as a state that stands
for disloyalty and sedition. The peo-
pie of this state are not made Of the
right kind of material if they tamely
submit to this sort of thing. We are
ashamed of the intelligence and the al
legged patriotism Of lot of people Of
this state who voted to sustain that
kind of program. Now if there are
any more pro-Germans who want to
stop their paper come in and get busy.

The non-partlsan league has made
one of the greatest political sweeps
ever pulled over in this state. They
have nominated every candidate on
their ticket including the three con-
has been renominated by over 800 ma
jority, while James H. Sinclair, dem
ocrat, running on the republican ticket
in the third district, has defeated P. D.
Norton. The race for superintendent
of public instruction is close between
the present incumbent, N C. Macdon-
aid, and Miss Minnie Nelson of this
city, the Courier-News last week
claiming that Macdonald is in the lead.
In this particular case the nomination
does not settle matters. School off,
ces are nonpartisan and under our
state law the two candidates receiving
the highest number Of votes, will be
placed on the regular election ballot
this fall and then the real fight for the
Office will be pulled off. Miss Nelson
does not intend to quit in case she is
the second in the primaries. She fig
ures that with four months Of cam
paign she can overcome any lead that
her competitor now has. In the case
of the rest of the state ticket, nothing
but mighty big change of sentiment
can change the results. With Gov.
Frazier and the rest of the ticket COM
ing out of the primaries with prac-
tically $4,000 majority, it is practi-
cally certain that they can read their
title clear for the next two years, pro-
viding, however, that some very eX-
ceptionally strong candidate is put on
the democratic ticket to make the
race for governor, then there might
be chance to win out. Doyle, the
democratic nominee, is good man,
but he is not strong enough in our
Judgment to bring home the bacon. If
Wesley ]. Mcdowell were the man, it
would be very easy for us as we'll as
thousands of republicans in the state
to rally around his standard, and his
chances of winning out would be re-
markedly good. He is fine speaker,
has personality that takes with the
people, and in our judgment is the
best man the democrats have got.
This is only our individual opinion,
however, and the democrats may think
different. It is up to them, now.

The price of print paper has jumped
ten dollars ton in the past ten days,
despite the fact that the government
is supposed to have fixed the price
some days ago. We do not know
where the blame belongs for this out
rageous raise in the price of print pa
per and it seems to us that it is not
justified. If paper continues to soar
in price as it has the past two weeks
country printers will have to raise
their advertising rates or else go out
Of business. Government regulation
Of print paper prices is either detri-
mental to the small publishers or else
the jobbers are getting an excess pro-
fit,

Many long troop trains carrying
soldiers east have been going through
Valley City the past few days. Some

long distant future.

The triumph Of A. C. Townley in
North Dakota is one of the worst
things that could have happened to the
United States. 1t has given the i'm
preston abroad that the people here
are opposed to the government in the
prosecution of the war-because
Townley and his socialistic organizers
have been pro-German at heart all
through since war was declared. 1t
has given Townley new heart to con-
tinue his insidious yelled attacks
within the law-against the govern
ment, while he sows his seeds Of dis
cord and German propaganda abroad
in the land. An analysis of the vote
shows that the eastern half of the
state is loyal and gave Steen a big
vote, while the German counties Of
the west half Of the state rolled up
large majorities for the Frazier or
Townley ticket. This tells the story.
There is no going back on the re-
turns.

A SUNDAY TRIP
BY BLACKFOOT MEN

i On Sunday morning at 10 O'Clock
some OF the Blackfoot men who want
10 try out their judgment in settlinp
the water question, will take a little
auto trip together to look at Fifty
Springs in Lincoln valley. All the
foiks who are interested are invited
and urged to go.
Tne matter came about by Council
man Neil Boyle making the state
ment to Editor Trego at a special
meeting Of the council Tuesday night
that there Is no possible chance of
getting a gravity water system for
Bfackfoot, and that the only thing
left is pumping plant.
On Wednesday morning the water
committee of the council and Editor
Trego had long conference at the
sanctum and ye editor conceded that
tne committee had good argument
Tor buying the water works. The
committee conceded that the editor
had a gravity proposition that was
worthy OF investigation before vot-
ing on the bond question. They
agreed that Trego should write up
both propositions as thoroly as pos
sible, and that they should 90 out
together Sunday accompanied by as
many as will go and study springs !
and running water and the chances
for a gravity system.
The Sunday party will start from
Murphey's Cigar store at 10 O'Clock,
90 east on the Rich lane, go thru the
held on Lincoln creek, and
up the valley to Yandall's ranch, !
thirteen miles from town. The
water cress at the springs is fine. /
Ind each man is reminded to take
bucket or basket and bring some

BLACKFOOT sure
DID CELEBRATE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF WARS END
AROUSED LOCAL PEOPLE TO
INTENSE ACTIVITY ON MON
DAY.

There was shouting and singing
and jubilant ringing in Blackfoot
early Monday morning when word
was received that the armistice had
been signe, which meant that the
world war was over. As soon as the
glad tidings were received the bells
OF the city were set to ringing and
loud, shrill Whistles let open SO that
the early morning air was confu-
sion of joyful sound. AT the early
hour of 4.30 the city fire engine.
loaded with men, wild with enthus-
iasm, all shouting, raced up and
down the residential streets waking
the slumbering townfolk. 1t re-
minded one somewhat of the famous
midnight ride of Paul Revere on the
eighteenth of April, ITS, only it
was realized that it was world wide.
AT early dawn many autos decor
ated in national colors and flags had
fallen in line behind the fire engine
and parade formed. Business peo-
pie tried to collect themselves suf-
ncently to take their respective
places, but in most cases upon arriv-
ing at headquarters found doors |
locked and their managers decor |
ating the buildings in flags and bunt-
ing-so business houses remained
closed all day to more fully do JUS
tice to the occasion.
At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon
parade of some ESQ citizens carrying
1ags, marched thru tho business dis
trict, over to Judicial street and to
the court house grounds, where they
assembled to listen>to addresses by
The Rev Colvers Judge Anderson

asted until dark.

THREE COUNCIL
MEMBERS SPEAK
THE WATER COMMITTEE FAVOR
BUYING BLACKFOOT WAFER
WORKS AND THEY TELL THEIR
REASONS WHY.

Ever since the present city council
was elected they have been studyin,
the water problem for Blackfoot an,
Tor the past few months a water com
mittee consisting Of Nofear Davis
Nell Boyle and Ernest Pearson hav,
been making a thoro Investigation
and studying it from every possible
angle SO far as it pertains to the
purchase of the Blackfoot Water
Works.
They did not give any study tc
the matter of securing a mountain
stream to pipe 1t into Blackfoot be-
cause other city councils proceeding
them had investigated and dismissed
the matter as impractical or impos-
sible.. The present council have ac-
cepted the report of their predeces-
sors and have worked on the theory
tnat there Is no stream of pure water
within reasonable distance that can
0e appropriated and brought 10
blackfoot at a reasonable expense
and which can be taken from q
water shed that can be kept in a
sanitary condition.
Elsewhere In this issue of the Re-
publican Is an article describing what
the editor regards as an ADEQUATE
and desirable water supply. The
water committee of the present coun-
Gil have reached conclusions in favor
OF buying the Blackfoot Water
Works and are very positive in their
conclusions that 1t is the best thing
to do. They also consider that this
is the opportune time to make the
purchase because If the offer is re-
Jected now it will not be renewed at
equally good prices after the ex-
piration of the present option.
The committee asked to have their
views expressed in the Republican
and in carrying out their wish we
received from them the information
contained in the following para
graphs:
What the Council Wants.
In former negotiations with man
ager e. A. Johnson OF the Blackfoot
Water Works he offered to sell to
the city for $4,000. Since that
time he has made some more money
on the plant; has invested another
$4,000 for extensions and improve
ments and has given them an option
for the purchase price of $4,000.
During the negotiations conditions
have changed materially and Mr..
Johnson would not now renew that
offer, and at the expiration of the
present option would withdraw the
offer now pending.
Value of the Plant.
The actual value of the system as
determined by taking the physical
valuation is from sixty to sixty-five
thousand dollars. Estimates were
made by two nonresident engineers
Ind aSlocal engineer placed 1t at
$4,000 and then found that he had
united number of items that
would raise that amount somewhat.
Therefore the lowest approved esti- {
nate of the physical value of the {
liant showed it to be 100000 and
he higher estimate $65, 900. Mr..
Johnson will sell it t6 the city now
t $4,000. Since these estimates /
vere made the prices Of material 1
ave advanced sharply. During the 1
resent negotiations, application was i
made for q revision of the water {
