Gerald p. Nye has been seated by
the United States Senate BY mar
row margin of only two votes. This
clarifies the political atmosphere in
North Dakota materially. for had Nyc
been refused his seat. he would have
won a great deal Of sympathy which
no doubt would have helped him in
the coming senatorial election. 1t is
no doubt pleasing to the young North
Dakota senator to learn that he is
entitled to his seat. The chances are
all against his holding the seat by
election. He will have an honor
which he in all probability could not
have secured in any other way. He
will not be in Washington long
enough to do much good or much
harm.
Undoubtedly. politics influenced
many Of the senators in voting for
Nyc's appointment, for twenty-siS
democrats joined the fourteen repub-
Leans and one farmcr-labor senate,
in voting to seat him.

THE SEATING or MIR. NYE.
(MinOt Daily News. }


The United States senate has by its
vote in seating Gerald Nyc as scna-
tor from North Dakota, Interpreted
q North Dakota statute as giving the
governor the power to appoint in
Interpretation might be that the Of
flee Of United States senator has
been placed in the classification Of
"statc officials"
An analysis Of the vote Indicate,
that it was II coalition Of anti-admln-
istratiOn forces with democrats that
made possible the final victory for
the appointcc Of Gov. Sorlic. In any
event large majority of the RANK
and file in the state will pass over
the affair with that's that" and turn
to something more interesting.
The seating Of Mr.. Nye, however.
goes a measure toward clarifying the
political atmosphere in the state. The
CooperstoWn man will undoubtedly be
a candidate at the June primaries for
the republican nomination. That is
now conceded from practically all
quarters. But for the fact that he
was given place in the senate there
is little likelihood of his having been
accepted as the league candidate at
the June contest. His standing with
the rank and file Of the league, the
men who organized that body, is such
that he cannot be considered as a
formidable candidate. His defeat at
the hands of Tom Hall year ago, in
the race for congress was fair test
of his popularity in his own district.
Indications are that Mr.. Nye will fail
to secure support of not onlv the
Lemke faction, but many other lead
ers.
From the standpoint of the indie
pendent forces the seating of Mr.. Nye
should serve to stimulate interest
and enthusiasm in the June primary
Likewise it should serve the common
cause in which the ideals of sound
government are at stake. However
only by a solid front will it be pos
sible for the independents to score
victory in 1926. With the united
support Of all Independents man
can be sent to the United States SEN
ate who, in every sense of the word
represents the state; man who can
meet situations that arise, doing
credit to North Dakota; man wha
can accomplish the things that every
one in the state realizes are needed
1t is only by thinking in terms o.
| a united front and an active cam
paipn that North Dakota can gain tht
| recognition in the United States sen
ate so necessary and so desirable.

NYE is SEATED

(La Mourc County Chronicle)
by Il vote Of II to 50, the United
States senate Tuesday afternoon vot-
cd to seat Gerald =. Nyc, senator
designate from North Dakota. Had
the vote been taken prior to the Holt
day recess, the result would have
been quite otherwise.
The early prediction of Mr.. Nyc
and his friends that tho issue would,
in the final analysis, be determined
on the basis Of political cxpcdiency
alone proved to have been we'll
founded. On the basis Of law aud
fact, Mr.. Nyc had no case. That
fact admits Of no argument. Article
II Of the Constitution Of the United
States covers the entire ground in 4
brief paragraph:
whenever vacancies happen
in the representation Of any
state in the senate, the executive
authority Of such state shall is
sue writs Of election to fill such
vacancies; provided, that the
legislature Of any state may en-
power the executive thereof to
make temporary appointment un-
til the people fill the vacancies
by election as the legislature
may direct"
The North Dakota Legislature new
err availed itself of this PROVISION
rever empowered the governor to
make temporary appointment in the
case of vacancy in the representa-
tion of this State in the senate.
Therefore the governor was without
power to make such appointment.
There was nothing to do but to us
sue writs of, election'--and that is
what Governor Sorlie did.
There was nothing complicated
about the situation; the law is plain
! and unequivocal. But the ways of
| politics are nearly always devious.
j Politics compelled Governor Sorlie,
after he had issued writs of election
f, in accordance with the law, ito per-
form an act of grotesqueri in sub
sequently appointing Mr.. Nye. And
the fate Of Mr.. Nye was sealed to his
own great satisfaction when the mall
! odorous "Newberry case" was drag
ged forth from the charnel house,
and when Senator Norris of Nebras-
! ka. in a speech defending the Nye
/ appointment, declared that if Mr..
| Nye were not seated, then three 9TH
er appointed members of the senate
{, must be put out. he speclflcally
! named Senator's Butler of Massachu-
sets. Williams of Missouri and Rob-
| inson Of Indiana, all Republicans.
That was enough. 1t wouldn't do
/ to have the senatorial entente corr
dale ripped'wide open over a matter
of so little Importance. 1t was bet
! ter to let the young man from North
Dakota have the coveted seat for q
| few months than to open 0ld sores
and stir up a. lot of trouble.
! From purely political standpoint.
Z, that reasoning was sound Many
who are opposed to him believe Mr..
] Nye would have been much more
! formidable candidate in the primary
election in the role of martyr than
he will be in the trappings Of a Uni
ed States senator. But in any event
the die is cast.

outcome his attitude was ridiculous.
The average man in similar stua-
ton would feel rather embarrassed.
The question of seating Mr.. Nyc in
volved only the power given Governor
Sorlic under the constitution to make
the appointment. No trace of per-
sonal or political animosity was evil
dent
In June, Mr.. Nye will have an OPP
portunisy to place his case before the
voters of the state. He will have to
take his chances for election against
men who have had longer and better
business experience, who are skilled
in diplomacy, who are astutc politi-
clans and who have already given the
state more valuable service than he
could ever hope to give it with all due
respect to his personal integrity ana

And in his seating the real repub-

however, the range is bare. This
would indicate that the snow cov-
