CONVENTION CHEERS

A feature of American political
conventions that Is almost unin-
telligible to visitors to the United
States is the demonstration Of
cheering that greets the nominal
ton OF a popular candidate. 1t
would be considered a CHASTITY
breach of etiquette for speaker
to utter the name of the man he is
about to put in nomination until
he is about to sit down. He occu-
pes half an hour or an hour in "A
eulogy of his candidate without
mentioning him specifically by
name until he comes to the end Of
his speech. Then the enthusiasm
bursts out. The supporters of the
nominee cheer themselves hoarse
They begin a parade about the
convention hall, seeking to draw
into their wake other delegates
who up to the moment have re-
manned unfrenzied. The hubbub
dies down and is revived. Songs
are sung. Hats are tossed in the
air. II there is lull there is
another outburst of senseless noise.
II has become a fine point of honor
that previous records for cheering
shall be surpassed, and the thing
has gone on until now the record
stands at more than an hour. II
the thing Is not abandoned the time
will come when cheering or rather
disorder, in favor of popular can
didates will consume all the time
allotted for the convention, and it
will require weeks to make a final
selection. An English newspaper
man now in New York expressed
his establishment at the custom,
and remarked that so far as he
was concerned he could not cheer
anything for more than two min
utes. He had arrived from South
America where the people are sup
posed to be very excitable. but he
testified that such an organized
uproar could not happen there.
His opinion was that it could hap
pen nowhere outside the United
State.-Toronto Mail and Empire.

OUR FLAUNTED PRIMARY

The primary system has been fully accepted by
many thoughtful citizens who in it danger good
government and useless burden of the people
On the other hand certain forces in the country have cung
to the primary system naenabe right the only pro-
lection they see it, of popular government.
The spirit of the primary law has been pretty we'll dis
regarded in North Dakota the last few by the major
political factions There has been protest from the peo
pe The primary has come to be regarded simply as
election to determine nothing except advantage in the
fall battle
1t is not surprising to those who have maintained
the primary system is at fault to continually disregard it.
is however rather inconsistent though not new that
organization such the Nonparsan League conference
should wholly aunt the spirit of the primary law. The
Nonpartisan League failed to candidates for
state office in the Republican primary of June 25 The
ference which met here Wednesday proceeded the
sare candidates for office in the fall election, wholly in
violation of the spirit of the primary elimination eec
ton The opposing faction has done likewise in the past
From practical standpoint there objection to the
action of the League 1t simply is in conformity with the
past elections Indeed the Nonpartsan might point out
that since the League to power in the state really
the Leagues opposition that first refused accept the
dict of the June state primary and again did battle in the
fall
The action here if it proves anything proves that the
word primary is a joke in North Dakota.

THE PACIFIST FLOURISH

The War Departments idea of defense test" in the
United States on National Defense Day, September H. has
evoked many protstaons from pacs The action
OF Governor Charles Bryan of Nebraska in approving
the idea also has aroused opposition of purely political
nature.
The defense test plan is understood to have been
evolved by General Pershng He the War Department
have remembered the confusion, the difficulty wasted
energy OF the mobilization of the forces of the United States
fer the recent World War; if many citizens have forgotten
them 1t is the business of the War Department profit
by the experience Of the past 1t appeared folly War
Department to allow the nucleus of the splendid volunteer
organization finally evolved during the World War to be
tffey disspated Thus through the Reserve Corps and
volunteer cooperation the War Department has sought
maintain paper organization that should the nation
unfortunately be plunged into conflict would be able
defend itself promptly and efficiently, with minimum of
lives and money.
The War Department plan calls for test of the effective
ness OF this paper organization test virtually of the
worth to the nation of voluntary organization compared
Ito large and well equipped standing army and military
establishment 1t proposed to find out Army units and
civilian units would quickly be their appointed places on
September H. ready for action knowing what action

President Coolidge in defending the War Department
idea has pointed out that unfortunately the obilza

national holiday is being declared which every force
will mobilize for and great military flourish will be
made encouraging mllaristc spirit The plans of the
War Department published do not indicate that any such
mlitarstc demonstration planned 1t appears simply to

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"The very ideal" said Mister Zip,
when the Twins told him what Scam
per and Scramble Squirrel had done.
IF those squirrel boys are getting
into my park for nothing, sliding
down trees. the way they. do, and
the mole boy is getting in by digg-
ing tunnels under the fence, it's no
wonder I'm not making my fortune.
l shall have to put a stop ito it at
once!" -~ IS.
So he hunted all over his amuse-
ment park until he found the SOUR;
rels. They were buying peanuts at
the peanut stand.
''I've got nickel left for butter
milk" said Scamper to Scramble.
$50 have l." said Scramble to
Scamper.
Of course, you'll think it queer
that they were not buying lemonade
or soda water or ice cream cones,
but squirrels love buttermilk much
better than any of them.
Mister Zip and Nancy and Nick
heard them.
81 think if you have a nickel left,
you'd better give it to me to pay
your way in," said the fairyman.
What for?" asked Scramble.
'You came in down the sycamore
tree" said Mister Zip, "and that's
not allowed. The sign says Birds
and Babies Free but you are not
birds and you are not babies, either,
so you will have to pay me. 1t
doesn't say anything about squirrels
getting in free"
1.-The only differnece between US
and Birds" said Scamper brightly,
"is that we've got fur and they've
got feathers"
Hopping rain toads!" cried Mister
Zip. II suppose you could fly across
the ocean then"
"Oh, no! We couldn't do that"
admitted Scramble Squirrel.
"And ! suppose birds have four
feet" said Mister Zip.
ooh. no! We don't mean that,
either" said Scamper Squirrel,
blushing to the end of his nose.
"And i suppose you lay eggs and
sing sweetly and do everything that
birds do" went on the fairyman Sc
verely. !
"Oh, no, we don't do any Of those
things" said both the squirrel boys
bashfully. I'VE guess we're not like |
birds at all, Mister Zip.
Except that you want something
for nothing" said Mister Zip. II
see."
Then he went on more kindly. 81
don't suppose you two boys thought |
you were doing anything dishonest.
But you were-just the same as if
you had bought something and not |
paid for it,"
"We're as sorry as we can bet"
said Scamper. "And we'll give you
all the rest of our vacation money.
We were only in fun, Mister Zip, !
honestly we WERE" 4
swell, if you are really and truly |
said the fairyman, you may
stay"
Nancy and Nick had slipped off and
now they came back with more news.
"say. Mister Zip" cried Nick.
"what do you think? We just saw

Suddenly !. Nancy had an idea.
why don't you let everybody come
in for nothing, Mister Zip?" she
said. "Then stacks and stacks Of
people will come and they'll all spend
money on good thinfI to eat and on
having good time. You'll make
twice as much"

Deep Shows Blanket
Scenic Yellowstone

Livingston Yellowstone park Il
clothed with the deepest mantle Of
snow 1t has known for some years, for
this early in the fall. Fourteen inches
Of snow has been reported at the lake,
while late this week another fall Of
five inches was recorded at the can
yon.
Despite this early fall Of snow, it
is expected that Indian summer days
will have sufficient influence on the
parks wintry appearance to permit
mortoring through the wonderland for
a few more weeks. Last year tours
far into the park were made as late
as Thanksgiving.
Mount Washburn, one Of the side
trip features Of the park, was closed
early to traffic this year owing to
heavy SHOWS, and it probably will not
be opened next season until early in
july.

advertise Montana to non-residents
and also to bring home to Montana
people the resources and opportuni-

tended.

Candidates Must
Formally Accept
Those Written in on Primary Ballot
Must Comply with Requirement.

Candidates nominated for various
state offices in the last primary by
having their names written in on the
ballots are being advised by Secretary
Of State Charles 7. Stewart Of the me-
cessity of formally accepting.
Several such nominees have already
accepted and will appear on the print
ed ballots in the November election.
The Farmer-Labor ticket is complete
except for lieutenant governor and
congressman from the first district.
For the latter office Congressman
John Nj. Evans was named and declin-
ed choosing to run on the Democratic
ticket. "Uncle" Sam Hampton, unsuc-
cessful candidate for the Democratic
Fubernatorial nomination, was the
Farmer Labor choice for lieutenant
governor, but also declined.
Lack of enthusiasm on the part Of
Socialist candidates is manifest from
the fact that only two, John Mckay
for congress from the first district
and Fl. F. Juttner, for United States
senator, have accepted.
