Miss jeanette Rankin, former con,
gresswoman from Montana, is here ir
the state predicting victory for the
people in her State-of course the peO.
pie as used by Miss Rankin means the
nonpartisan league. Miss Rankin was
not much of success at running or
the league ticket and she may be g
little bit over enthusiastic about the
outcome in her home state. We see q
lot Of people from Montana and they
make different predictions. We don't
see how any state bordering on North
Dakota where the people have been
watching events here, can very well
vote to sustain the same kind OF an
outfit that has been wished on North
Dakota. Il doesn't sound reasonable
But then time will tell.

The Courier-News says that Attor-
ney General LANCER made the state
ment at Devils Lake to the effect that
he would be candidate for governor
if the people wanted him, and straight
wav the chills commenced to creep up
and down the nonpartisan spine of the
G., N. editor. This declaration on the
part of Mr. LANCER will go long way
to Clarity the situation and will make
it easier for the conventions that are
about to be held. Mr. LANCER is the
only logical candidate for any party
of men to nominate who are opposed
to the present reign of Townleyism-
1t is he that has been going arond the
state preaching the doctrine of good
government and taking the brunt Of
the battle and it is he who should re-
ceive commentator at the hands OF
the people of the state.

We see by the Fargo Courier News
this morning that N. c. Macdonald
who is holding the job of general sup
eryisor of the public schools OF the
state, has handed in his resignation to
the administration board. One by one
the roses fall. The resignation of this
man will be hailed with general de-
light by the people of the state. He
has created more acrimony than all
the others combined in his endeavor
to hold the job of superintendent of
public instruction after he was thor
oughly licked, and he has been busy
ever since trying to dictate the policy
of the schools of the state. His re-
tirement from the office will please a
lot of people.

Starting on February 18th Senator
Hiram Johnson, Of California, Will
make several speeches in the state at
Bismarck, Minot, Grand Forks and
Fargo. Senator Johnson is one OF the
live men of the country and we have
admired his stand on the league OF
nations question. If lightning should
strike his presidential rod and ne
should be the candidate for the repub-
lican party he would poll tremen-
dous vote in the country. In his own
state when he ran for senator he got
a total of 1867 votes out of 94O,651
his nearest opponent receiving only
277,952, only half as many. Thls
shows the popularity OF this progress
sive statesman at home.

Judge Chas. M Cooley, who has
been sitting on the Barnes county
bench for the past four weeks, mas
finished the term. He has cleaned up
all the cases on the docket that could
be tried and has made fine record Tor
himself at this term. Attorneys ten
us that Judge Cooley is one OF the
fairest and best Informed jurlsts they
have ever practiced before in court
and they have been very much pleased
at the treatment received at his hands
while he has been the presiding judge
at this term of court. =, Judge Cooley
has also made himself popular with
the iurymen and officers of the court
bv his uniform courtesy and the good
fellowship displayed while off the
bench and many farmers who have
had business before him are gong
home speaking in the highest terms
of his work here. This is the first
time Judge Cooley has been here IN
this capacity and we hope ne Will come
again in the near future.

Arrangements are going steadily
forward for the Cattle Congress to be
held in Valley City on March 10, ~
and 20. President c. S. Brown, VINO
is deeply interested in this movement,
tells the editor that the prospects are
that this congress will be one OF the
largest gatherings of stock men that
ever assembled in the state, and that
there will be on exhibit and for sale
some of the finest stock that was ever
raised Valley City will be the mecca
for stock men during these three days
and the cattle congress will be one OF
the best advertisements for North Da-
kota that could be had. Good stock
is the one thing that the farmer can
point to as being in large measure
RESPONSIBLE for his success. II farm
er raises good stock you can rest as
sured that that man is good farmer.
The farmer that is satisfied to get
along with scrubs can be put down as
one who is not altogether a progress
sive and get there kind. However,
bear this big congress in mind. 1t will
be worth your while to attend it.
