The democrats in convention assem-
bled at Fargo yesterday nominated
Hon. J. F. T. O'Connor, Of Grand
Forks. as the standard bearer of the
democratic party and he heads that
ticket as a candidate for governor
The selection is a good one so far as
the ability of the man is concerned.
He is bright, energetic citizen and
if tightening should strike him during
this strenuous political fight and land
him in the governors chair, North Da-
kota would have a clean, able gentle
man for governor John Fried, of
Jamestown n. D., was nominated for
congress to oppose George NJ. Young.

A new trial has been granted to H.
J. Hagen, former president OF the
Scandinavian American Bank at Far
20, by Judge M. J. Englert of Valley
City, acting as jurist in the Cass
county district court. 1t will be re-
nembered that Hagen was found
guilty last December of charge of
exhibiting false papers to bank eN-
an,;ner with intent to deceive the eX-
aminer as to the condition of the
bank. The second trial will perhaps
he held next November. Alleged mis-
conduct of the attorneys for the pro-
secution and error in allowing certain
letters to be presented to the jury as
evidence are the grounds upon which
Judge Englert granted the new trial.
The verdict of guilty given last fall
is set aside by Judge Englert's ruling.
The decision to give Hagen a new
trial has caused no sensation in the
state--it was expected.

Washington Monday and Tuesday of
this week. Object to secure the return
of the first class freight car equip
ment of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and 500 lines for moving
the grain out Of our elevators before
a new crop is harvested. Many north
western men, among them Harry
Helm, of the Russell Miller Co. were
present. Newspaper reports state that
OUT second district congressman, Geo
M. Young was present but omit tc
mention Baer and Sinclair who We're
probably conspicuous by their absence
Moral: One congressman who looks
after the farmers interests is worth
ten who only talk about farmers
grievances.
Did you ever in the course of you,
70 t7lr 1,,no
one Of the prettiest booming little
towns that you ever saw, and towr
in which at the very first impulse you
seemed to yearn to live in? Yes. nc
doubt you have. So have we. But
just remember this-that booming
town like that has some energetic
progressive citizens in it, who are not
afraid to spend their time and money
no matter how precious, in building
up such a place. They erect new
buildings, form new corporations, take
steps to keep the city in sanitary
condition, and in every way shape anc
manner boost for their own town anc
try to induce people to move there
kindly and that little bit of work will

will be remembered, and that stranger
will go forth and tell others Of the
beauties and the many artificial things
to be obtained there, and of the hospi-
talities extended to strangers
Boost" is the keynote word, and will
go the farthest toward building up a
successful booming town in any com
munity.
The nonpartisan league convention
at Fargo in selecting candidates for
judges, purposely of course omitted to
endorse Hon. Chas. NJ. Cooley, of
Grand Forks, one of the ablest and
most impartial judges now sitting on
district bench in this state. How
ever, Judge Cooley will 60 on the Of
fetal ballot and we want Barnes
county voters to see that he is given
big lift in this county. The way to
make it count for Judge Cooley is to
vote for him alone and that will count
the same as three for him. We don't
give a rip for any Of the other judges
nominated so far as this district is
concerned unless some real substan-
