been elected vice president In 1900.
Wilson was prominently before the
public prior to tho Baltimore conven-
ton, and was seriously considered.
In the recent campaign there was
no man in either party whose position
compared with the positions Of the
men named. When Senator Harding
was nominated he was comparatively
unknown to the general public. Dur
ing the active portion Of the campaign
he has been under observation and
has grown in popular esteem. There
are many things about him which are
yet to be developed. The one thing
thai stands out most prominently
now Is the fact that he is likely to
make a good working president.
By the declarations which he has
made himself. and by the general
manner in which he has conducted
himself It h accepted that Mr.. Hard
ing will seek to make his administra-
ton a good working admins, ration.
He has opinions in public matters,
but he not only is willing to hear the
opinions of others, but he is anxious
to do so. He desired to reach a work
ing basis with the people Of the coun-
try. Instead of trying to force his
policies on an unwilling congress he
will try to agree in. advance with rep
reeentative men in congress and in
the country as to the policy which
ought to be followed. In that way
he is likely to get results. and in
getting the approximate results that
he desires he will leave the situation
free from complications and in such
shape that the next subject may be
taken up without the necessity of
having first to clear away a mass of
complications and a heap Of antago-
nis,n.
That, we believe, is the present pop
ular impression Of the president-elect
and it appears to be warranted by the
facts. .& ,

Never again shall we know the sea

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 1,
WHEAT PRICES AGAIN.

The Herald has discussed wheat
prices from time to time The inter-
est Of this paper is in a high price
for wheat the higher the better. The
higher wheat prices are the more
money there will be in the territory
served BY The Herald, with the re-
suit that business Of all kinds will be
better, and every business institution
will share in the prosperous condi-
tons thereby created. This will be
true, Of course, only il wheat prices
r high as compared with the prices
of commodities in general.
Most residents of the northwest
will be benefited by relatively high
prices for wheat. But whatever ones
wish may he, facts must be recog-
nized. If the general conditions are
sue as to result in lower wheat
prices, prices will decline, and that
fact must DO accepted.
Some weeks s farmers were
urged by certain politicians to hold
their wheat for higher prices. That
dus1SS "dS ettSI WHICH, Wi10dt wal
selling in local markets for about
$3.50 Just now the price is around
31.6o. The people who gave the ad-
vice set forth no adequate reason for
expecting an advance. The price
having declined. the farmer must
stand the loss. The politicians are
not standing back Of any advice that
they give.
II the crop is sold on the present
basis the loss to the farmers of the
state will be many million dollars.
In so far as holding has been due to
the advice of these politicians they
are responsible.
It might be interesting to know
what they advise now and why. Are
the politicians able to make any bet
ter predictions now than they made
some time ago? OF course the blame
will be placed on the grain exchanges,
but that will not give the farmer his
eighty cents.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

A short time ago The Herald com
nented on the act that three Of the
candidates on the independent ticket
were Grand Forks men, two Of them
now residents Of the city. and the
third having but recently removed
from the city to take up his profess
aonal work elsewhere in the state.
Grand Forks people were entitled to
take some pride IN the fact that three
men from their community were cho-
son by large and representative
groups In the state or district as can
didates for important positions.
There Is now feason for gratifica~
ton ovor the endorsement given thes
candidates at the polls. Mr.. Burtness
the Independent candidate for con
gress, was elected by the splendid ma
tority Of over 1900 in a district COM
prtsans but one-third Of the state.
Aessrz. o'Connor and Kamplin. all
though not elected. lacked but a hand
full Of votes each. Under all tho cir
cumstances the record which they
made vas truly remarkable. F.,
But aside from SUCCESS or victory
At the polls. the campaign which
these men made was such As to en-
title them to the commendation, not
alone of the people Of their homo city,
but Of the entire state. No campaign
in the history Of North Dakota was
ever prosecuted moro vigorously, or
moro cleaaIy. These candidates,
Neswa, Burtness and O'Connor espec-
tally, were subjected to personal abuse
Of every imaginable kind. Nothing
in tho WY Of vt~llification which could
be suggested by the most fertile i'm
aginatton to be used against them wa
overlooked. And throughout the
campaign they refused to respond In
kind. and conducted themselves on
all OCCASIONS as citizens who respect
ed themselves and the people whose
support they invited. II
No North Dakota campaign has
ever been conducted on q higher
plane. and, whether winning or losinx
at the polls, these Grand Forks men
have earned the commendation Of
the people for the manne in which
they have conducted themselves and
the contribution which they have
made toward keeping the political at
fairs of the state u OF the gutter.

lawyer named Holt. a friend of Mr..
