pear in the republican column and
others in the democratic column on
the general ballot, except the names
of A. M Christensen for Judge OF
Supreme Court and Minnie j. Nelson
for Superintendent of Public 1nstruc-
ton. These will appear on. the Nom
partisan Ballot.
The most quiet spot in the United
States this morning is democratic
Headquarters in New York. They have
not recovered from the shock occas-
toned from the returns of the Maine
election.
The supreme court has again knock
ed New Rockford out from getting on
the ballot for removing the capitol
from Bismarck to New Rockford. This
should hold our New Rockford friends
for little while.
We do not know what is the high
est remuneration spellbinding talent
can expect in a presidential campaign.
We are pretty we'll convinced, how
ever, that if Mr.. Will Hays and his
organization had just $3,50O,O7O to
bestow in legitimate way for
the election of Senator Harding they
could afford to expend at least So, OOO,-
O70 of the available total, if the thing
were possible in employing Governor
Cox to keep on the stump and con-
tinue to exhibit his personal and ir
remediable unftness to be president OF
the United States.
Yesterday was the state election in
Maine and it is admitted that as
"Maine goes so goes the nation" If
this be true then democracy will be
showed under in November for Maine
yesterday returned the greatest re-
publican victory in the history of
the state. The republicans gained
close to fifty thousand votes in yes
terday's election. In 1916 that state
went republican by 6,400 votes, which
indicated democratic victory in
the nation and in November the
country did go democratic. The vic
tory yesterday is regarded by party
leaders as an indication that the
country has become tired of autocratic
one man rule and wants to return to
government of the whole people.
All congressman were elected by large
majorities. The league of nations was
the chief issue in the Maine cam
paign. Does anyone at this time still
figure that we should accept Mr.. Will
sons peace pact? Every election in
which this issue has been fought out
has resulted disastriously for the DEM
ocratic party.
Did you know that Warren G. Hard
ing, James M. Cox and Aaron Wat
kins are triplets? Well, they are.
Ohio is the mother of presidents and
they all hail from there. Kind of an
odd family, though at that. Mrs.
Ohio's son Aaron is strictly set
against anything over one and one
half per cent, and son Jimmy is pur-
ported by some to be leaning toward
the wet side, although he alleges he
never did nothing but smell of the
cork. Warren, the obstinate son that
he is, refuses to lead the democratic
donkey around, all ready burdened
with the league of nations issue, and
staggering under succession of blows
sufficient to take the heart right out
OF any mule. Instead he announces he
is strictly opposed to following his
brothers bosom friend, Woodrow Will
sons advice, and goes out on the
stump and hurls charges that makes
his brother Jimmy lose lot Of much
needed rest. Brother Aaron is one of
these sanctimonious fellows that be-
lieves in the old saying never make
a defense or an apology before you
are accused" and is figuring out in
the meantime how big a campaign
fund his party is going to spend on
him, and whether it will exceed the
Sic, 1000, 600 that James says Warren
