The courtroom was filled with old

was brought in from the Jail, where
ne has been closely confined since
the day Of the shooting, he appeared
as stranger. a., He exchanged no
greetings except to shake hands with
one Of his attorneys. He was dressed

an editorial in the Fargo Forum. Gov
ernor Nest0s was In Fargo yesterday
The editorial says that Governor
Nestos cannot, as result of the
Jamestown convention, endorse Nc
Cumber. The editorial says in part:
'iMr. McCumber's frank statement
at this time probably will remove
much bitterness and will serve to
clear the air of many rumors and sus'
picions. When Mr.. McCumber him,
self frankly and open:5 mdorses the
Jamestown ttcNet without reserva-
tions OF any kind, his followers can
not do less than give that ticket their
whole.hearted support and take an &C.
tive part in the campaign. me ue.

,Cumber's managers and followers en-.
ter into the campaign for the sue
Cess of the Nestos ticket will largely
determine tn measure Of support
that Mr.. McCumber will receive from
lhe independent Republicans who
were represented by the delegates as
sembled at Jamestown.
Governor Nestos is in no position
to reciprocate, even If he were in
clined to do so. He cannot 60 over
the head of the jamestown conven-
ton which nominated him. That con-
vention specifically refused to in
dorse a senatorial candidate. Mr..
Nestos could no more indorse Mr. NC
Cumber than he could Mr.. McHarg.
AS the nominee of the convention he
must be bound by the conventions
actions. The state ticket cannot
form offensive or defensive alliances.
Yet both senatorial candidates who
oppose the league should support the
state ticket and the measure OF the
support that they give 20 1t should be,
in part at least, the measure of the
support accorded them by the voters
at that convention.
"Mr, McCumber's announcement un'
doubtedly will help Governor Nestos,
but it probably will help Mr.. McCum-
ber far more. Nothing Is to be
gained by an attitude on his part OF
you may defeat me. but I'll see that
you are licked Also On the contrary
Mr.. McCumber's political future rests
with the independent Republicans OF
the state and it is up to him to put
himself in harmony with their views.
He cannot expect them to make their
attitude and politics conform with his.
If Mr. McCumber wants to make his
peace with the Independent forces OF
the state. he must take the initiative
"a he seemingly has done. He has
made a good start. but something be-
sides a mere gesture is needed, The
basis for a better understanding lies
in the manner in which Mr.. McCum-
ber's words are backed up by the &C.
tions Of his close personal friends and
active followers"
