M'BRIDE CHOICE OF REPUB-
 LlCANS

Reports from all parts of the terri tory indicate that the Republicans are almost unanimously in favor of the election of J. c. Mcbride as national committeeman of the party. This is not Surprising when one considers the fact that he is one of the substantial business men of the territory, with a continuous bona fide residence of over twenty years, and is in every way qualified to discharge the duties of that position.
 Mr. Mcbride is not identified with any faction of the Republican party, and he only consented to enter the race after J. R. Heckman had with drawn, and upon the solicitation of friends and party workers from vari- ous towns in Alaska, who realized that he was the most available man for the office
 The primary election will be held Tuesday, April 27, and we can not too strongly urge upon the Republicans to go to the polls on that day and vote for MT. Mcbride, thus insuring his election by an overwhelming majority.

PRICE OF A GOOD TIME

The coal strike was expensive. It cost the miners $6O,0OO,OOO in wages, the operators S12,0O0,000 in profits, and the United States government, through increased deficit in railway operation, reduced freights for ship ping Board vessels, and loss of income and excess profits taxes, suffered to the extent of s4O,OoO,OOO. These fig ures are from Vice. President Mor- row of the National Coal Association He does not attempt to estimate the loss to the public, but that, as is al- ways the case, is largest of all

tres go through this year, the Terri
 tory should feel the effects and have a burst of good times.-Douglas News.
 There are undoubtedly hundreds
 throughout the territory who will
 agree with the communication in yes
 terday's Gateway, from Mayor B. E.
 Chamberlain, that Gov. Riggs, in his
 incipient propaganda that flask is
 nearing a revolution by the Boshvi-
 Xxi is straining at a nat and swallow ing an elephant. There may be little burgs in Alaska harboring harmful Radicals but they are so very small that they could be squelched without difficulty Another thing that people will not agree with Gov. Riggs,
 is his plea for a constabulary to take
 over the policing of the territory. Nothing of the kind is needed, there
 being positively no excuse for such a
 thing and Delegate Grigsby shows he is there" when he refuses to intro duce bill in Congress for a constab- 1 ulary. If one wants a consta bulary, then go to Canada or Pennsylvania l Seward Gateway.

THE RUSH IS ONTO CORDOVA

Every Cordova-b bound passenger boat from Seattle, and there are now six or seven each month, is bringing a capacity load, and Cordova is receiv- ing it's full quota of newcomers. In fact, more than one-third of all pas sengers booked for Alaska are com ing to Cordova, and from present in- dications our population will be in- creased this summer by at least fifteen hundred people: Many of these are coming to work in the canneries, while others are interested in the oil fields, mining and other lines of endeavor It all spells prosperity for Cordova and the outlook never was brighter
 TRIP WILL PROVE BENEFICIAL
 The Washington State Press Associ- atiOn will make a trip this summer to the coast towns Ot Southeastern Alaska, which should prove beneficial to the members and result in their gaining some new ideas of this North land, as there seems to be a woeful lack of knowledge on the part of most writers in the States, and even. on the Pacific coast, as to the actual con- ditions in Alaska It will also en- tighten them in reference to the false impressions given out by Governor Riggs as to the alleged unrest and Bolshevik menace that our chief ex executive intimates are threatening the territory. They will find our in- dustries in full operation, meet the most loyal Americans on earth, and learn that we are a contented and prosperous lot of people.

~liberately chose to return to a Norti
Dakota rural district and devote hel
talents to build up those schools anl
to give the children Of the farm thu
same educational advantages afforded
the children Of the city. It is q rare
person who will make such a choice.
Such experience should be utilized
in North Dakota where more than sc
per cent Of the population lives in the
country. The head of the educational
work Of the state should be conversant
with the needs Of the rural population
and with the difficulties under which
rural schools must labor.
Miss Johnson has unusual educa-
tional qualifications. After complet-
ing the regular course at the Valley
City Normal School she with one 9TH
er student took the advanced course
the very first year it was given. She
then entered the University of Wis
consin and ac1uittid herself with dis
tinction at that S, nco'. She returned
for graduate work in education at the
summer sessions. Before entering the
Valley City Normal Miss johnson
taught ia the rural schools of Illinois.
She taught several years in Wisconsin
after graduation from the university.
Ten years ago she went to the Jud
consolidated school and established a
name for herself. The past two years
she has been 1T the head Of the Tioga
school which S ! town and country
school consolidated.
Clearly Miss Johnson should be put
in charge of the schools of the state.
It is up to the men and women voters
of North Dakota to take advantage of
this opportunity to secure a woman
qualified by experience and education
to give the children Of the state the
very best there is in the way of
schools. Miss Johnson was not a can
didate for the office and did not know
that her name was being considered
at the time of her endorsement by the
Nonpartisan League. She has accept
ed the endorsement and is willing to
serve the people of the state.
But Miss Johnson is the daughter
of a Nonpartisan Lacquer, Represen-
tative S. w. Johnson Of Steele Coun-
ty and her success Or failure in the
primaries will depend on the interest
shown in her candidacy by the rural
If the wrnen Of the farm fail
to take the trouble to go to the polls
to cast their ballots for Miss Johnson
she will not be elected. The opponents
Of a farmers daughter for the head
Of the educational system are active.
They will have every vote cast against
her that can be found in North Dako-
Ia. For the sake Of their children the
men and women of the rural districts
must see that the rural vote is out
100 per cent. Only Indifference can
bring defeat. Let each voter see that
there are no slackers among his neigh
oors and friends.

At last the people of North Dakots
are afforded an opportunity to place
at the head of the educational system
Of the state a real daughter Of the
farm. Miss Ruth M. johnson, candi-
date for state superintendent of
schools endorsed by the Nonpartisan
League, is not only q farmers daught-
er. She has definitely linked her for
tunes with the rural life Of the state.
Educated as she is, it would have been
reasonable for Miss johnson to take
q position in the school system Of q
large city and reap the rewards which

The navy is in a bad state at

Bismarck N. Dak., May Is, 1920.
Hon. Thes. Pendray,
State Senator, Stutsman County,
jamestown, N. Oak.
My dear Mr.. Pendary:
I am writing you to congratulate
you upon your endorsement by the
farmers organization as their candi-
date for Congress, and because of a
lot Of false statements, especially in
the Fargo Forum and Bismarck Trib-
une, regarding my activity to secure
the endorsement. I was a candidate
for the endorsement; that is, I asked
the convention for the endorsement;
but contrary to the statements pub.
ished in the anti-League press, + did
not attend the convention, nor bring
pressure to bear on the delegates to
secure the endorsement; in fact, I new
er seriously considered the matter,
never talked to Mr. Townley about it,
and wrote the state manager Of the
organization, prior to the convention,
not to take comment in the newspa-
pers regarding my candidacy for Con-
gress seriously. j.
I did, however, write the conven-
tion a communication setting forth
my position clearly, in substance as
follows: That I would not support
Congressman Young and insisted that
the convention not endorse him be-
cause of his failure to stand by the
League ticket in the last primary and
falsely attacked and charged with dis
loyalty; because of, his refusal to come
to North Dakota and campaign for
himself, Governor Frazier and the
Leageu ticket in the last primary and
general election; because he refused
to defend our state, our governor and
u people were charged with disloy-
when our state, it's government and
it's people charged with disloy-
atty; because he refused to utter a
word in defense of Mr.. Townley and
myself when we were arrested and
hailed into court on trumped-up
charges, at a time when we were ac-
tive in endorsing and electing Mr..
Young to Congress. I charged that he
should have accepted our endorsement
and supported us or refused to accept
the endorsement and joined our en-
emies; l set forth that Mr.. Young ig-.
nored the very existence of such an
organization as the Nonpartisan Lea
que, and refused to work in harmony
with Congressman Baer and Sinclair,
and showed that he voted with the
Chamber Of Congress and followed
their dictates and every Big Business
corporation in the country when he
voted for the railroad bill just put
over on the country, which was passed
by Congress upon the theory that
Railroads and Big Business concerns
needed protection from the people and
that government was established, not
for the purpose Of protecting the
masses, but for the purpose Of pro-
tecting organized business and wealth.
In that communication to the
convention, / asked for the endorse!
ment, or, II the convention believed
it could select q better and stronger

publicans assembled at Minot to NOM
mate Mr.. Nestos for governor circu-
lated a hand bill on which appeared
a number Of questions as to Mr.. Lam
gers position and his fitness to lead
the Big Business forces in their cam
paign to defeat the Nonpartisan Lea
que ticket. The Nestos men were de-
feated and LANCER was made the
standard bearer but the questions are
unanswered. The voters of North d.
kota will have an opportunity to pass
on them June 30th. It will be inter-
esting to see how many of them ap-
prove Of the sentiment expressed by
Judge L. J. Palda on the floor of the
Minot convention Remember the
leopard has not changed his spots.
Judas %Iscariot had not changed when
he kissed Christ"
Here are the questions:
"Mr. LANCER, in case you are en-
dorsed for Governor by this conven-
ton, how al an anti-Townley Repub-
lican defend you upon the following
propositions:
Delegates are asking these cues
tons in good faith and all friendli-
ness, realizing that the delegates at
this convention viii be duty bound
to support you should you be en-
dorsed.
II. In the last campaign you de-
clared that Frazier was the best gov
ernor North Dakota evcr had, and that
he was the only governor that ever
did anything for the farmer. In what
vital respect has he changed his
course so as to justify you in abusing
and villifying him now?
"2. For four years you calling
the newspapers that did not support
the Nonpartisan League the "Kept
Press" Why should you not apologize
before asking their support for gov
.ernor?
g. Is it not a fact that you fraud
ulently and wrongfully charged John
Steen with dishonesty withholding
$125O.OO from the State fund?
"a. How would we defend the
charges made against you in the press
of the state, namely the Fargo Forum,
the Grand Forks Herald and Bismarck
Tribune during your last two cam
rs. How can we justify the fact that
the world war you spoke
publicly in support of any of the Lib
erty Loan or Red Cross drives or any
other val activities?
rs. How can we defend your con-
duct in asking the Governor for a mil
itary guard in the time Of peace?
tt7. How al we convince the people
that you will economize in face Of
the fact that you have had %appropri-
ated to your office nearly three times
as much as your predecessor? -.
SO. Why was your One Thousand
Dollar Reward advertisement so framed
that a man would have to qualify as
crook before he could claim it, and
why was there a thirty day limit with
q jury Of your own selection?
80. How can you explain the fact
that Governor Frazier had to defend
your war record. Can Governor Fra
zier be depended upon to continue to
your war record? ,
40. How al we explain the fact
that it took you over three years to
discover the character Of your form
err associates that you now claim are
scoundrels and crooks?
I'll. According to your proclama-
tons, office seeking is wrong. Why
then have you permitted your friends
and office help to work up a sentiment
for you for governor when all others
were abiding by a universal wish to
the contrary as expressed by a rep
resentative body of North Dakota
