Bryan, Towne and Silver.
Explanation of the apparent incon
sistency of Mr. Bryan's London state
ment, which insists first that Mr. Bryan
stands where he stood 1896, and
second that the silver question has been
settled by an act of Providence in
giving the world such a supply of gold
as to make silver unnecessary may be
found in the remarks in the house by
the Hon. Charles A. Towne. Mr. Towne
and Mr. Bryan think alike on the silver
question. Mr. Towne said:
"The democratic party stands in
principle where it stood in 1896. W
do not demand free coinage of silver
today. "Why? Because we do not need
it. If necessity should arise by an
unexpected and unanticipated rapid
and continued diminution of the pro
duction of gold and we could not edu
cate the people into the adoption of
a rational money system, we should
ask again to coin silver."
This statement shows that Mr.
Towne is ready to renew the agitation
of 1896 whenever he has the oppor
tunity. Mr. Bryan's London statement
is positive evidence that he also stands
ready to renew it. Can anyone doubt
that with Mr. Bryan a candidate for
president on the basis of his London
statement the agitation would be re
newed? I would not require any
statement from Mr. Bryan. His name
at the head of a ticket would act au
tomatically to renew it. There could
scarcely be a Bryan campaign without
a silver campaign.
Some of the English are sorry now
that they threw those dornicks at our
meatshops.
The North Dakota Situation.
The North Dakota state convention
had a happy ending. The "regular"
captured all the offices with ease, while
the insurgents got salve for their feel
ings in the adoption of the primary-law
amendment in the platform. It is a
question whether a direct primary on
state officers would be any advantage
to the insurgent cause, but there is
evidently a strong demand for the
change, and in forcing the amendment
the insurgents saved the platform from
absolute inanity. A reported by the
committee, the platform contained no
declaration of principles whatever. I
gave the party North Dakota noth
ing to stand on except the personalities
of President Eoosevelt, Governor
Sarles and the state's delegation in
congress. The amendment indorsing a
state-wide primary gives the platform
its only talking point.
The convention demonstrated that
the present primary law of the state
is a practical failure. The secret bal
lot in convention has no reason for ex
istence. Voters have a right to know
how the delegates they have elected to
represent them in convention have
voted. I would be "just as reasonable
to require a secret ballot in the legis
lature for passage of bills. The fac
tional forces stayed in line just the
same under the secret ballot as the
other way, and in actual operation the
balloting took so long as to wear out
the patience of the delegates. Whether
the direct primary is extended to state
officers or not, the secret-ballot provi
sion is sure to go.
The machine victory means that
Nor th Dakota is still a pro-railroad
Btate. The sentiment expressed by
Chairman Williams no doubt represent
ed the views of the men who ran the
convention, tho it was put more baldly
than they would like. According to
the chairman's statement, any opposi
tion to the wishes of the railroad com
panies must be condemned, because the
railroads are needed to develop the
state, and to incur their ill will is to
retard the progress of the country. I
Minnesota and other western states we
have outgrown that point of view.
Bailroads are not run as philanthropic
institutions. The primary purpose of
railroad management is to bring re
turns for the stockholders, and this
policy does not always coincide with
he interests of the public. A com
mon carriers the railroads must sub
ject to public control and not left whol
to their own devices. Such state
ments are axioms in other states of
the west. They are generally received
in Nor th Dakota also, but are still chai-

The New Zealand Plan.
Sir Joseph G. Ward, who'has succeed
ed the late Mr. Seddon as premier of
New Zealand, declares that in New Zea
land the public officials first learn what
the people wa nt and then give it to
them that way. The system seems to
work well in a small country where the
wants of the people are comparatively
few, and where the population is so
small that its wants may be ascer
tained. I would probably not be so
easy in America where we have & great
many lively people who wa nt f. great
many things and wa nt them all at once.
But still our public officials might Ury
the New Zealand plan instead of pro
ceeding on the theory that they should
ascertain the bent of the people and
then try to educate them out of it.
This is the conception of statesmanship
of the .Cannons, Forakers and Depe ws
of the land. They recognize the voice
of the people as the voice of God, pro
vided it is O. K.'d by their own con
ception of wh at is good for us.
Mr. Cannon, for example, thought it
would be better to wait for time
correct the evils of the meat businero
than tamper with the constitution.
Foraker thought the same about^we*
railroad rate bill. The New Zealand
plan has its disadvantages, of course.
The people sometimes think they wa nt
something which they do not really
want. But still the New Zealand of
ficial would give it to them because the
people would be as quick to ask for
the repeal of a bad law as they were
to demand its passage. I is the peo
ple 's business after all. They tolerate
leaders, not for the purpose of thwart-,
the public will, but for the purpose,
of expressing it.

Williams has a faculty for extracting
every farthing of profit from a plot. At
feast one may judge so from the fact that
the plot of his book, The Day Dreamer,
is a novelization of a play, -which in turn
grew out of a short story. If he would
now make a poem out of the story, and
reduce it to two or three other forms, he
would be able to feel reasonably sure that
no other writer could, with safety, use
his material
Aside from all that, however, "The
Day -Dreamer" is a very readable story,
especially for one who knows something
of newspaper life, and for one who does
not the story will by no means drag
One thing that can be said is that Billy

kind of a man for a paper To go into a
sort of ecstacy over a big story and

N. OEMS TAKE
By Charles B. Cheney.
Jamestown, N. D./ July 14.NOW
that tho republicans have fought out
that the republicans have fought out
their fight, and the "machine" is ap
parently as firmly intrenched as ever in
control of the party. North Dakota pol
iticians are looking ahead to the com
ing campaign. There is no fear for
the success of the state ticket as a
whole. The state is moie strongly re
publican than it ever was. The new
immigration into the "slope" counties
seems to be solidly republican.
The democrats are going to make a
hard fight, however, and with rather
more hopo than they have felt in the
past six or eight years. Their state
convention will be held in Mmot Aug
2. They will try to get a strong and
well-known man to run for governor,
and will make their fight on the repub
lican ticket as the creation of railroad
bosses. I will be in a sense a con
tinuation of the fight in the republican
primaries, but the republican insur
gents, the leaders at least, will stand
solidly for the ticket, and some of them
will stump for it. They will not take
their cue from General "Williams, chair
man of the late convention, in his re
markable speech declaring that people
who antagonized the railroads were en
emies of the state. They will support
the ticket, however, and point with
especial pride to the convention's dec
larataion for a state-wide direct pri
mary.
Bar Objects to Knauf.
It is conceded that the weak spot on
the republican ticket is John Knauf,
the Jamestown attorney nominated as
Judge Young's successor on the su
preme bench. The bar of the state,
with few exceptions, is opposed to
Knauf. is classed as a politician
who has never been any too scrupulous
in his methods,, and while his friends
say he is an able lawyer, his fellow
attorneys clo not consider him good ma
teiial for the bench. The day before
the convention Judge Engerud of Fargo
announced publicly that if Knauf were
elected he would resign. will hold
till after election, hoping that after all
Judge Fish of Giand Forks may beat
Knauf. The Fargo bar on the day of
tho convention passed a resolution de
claring against Knauf. Altho Knauf
was on the machine slate, many doubts
were expressed of his nomination.
Judge Fisk, who is conceded the ablest
jurist in the state, had friends in the
machine ranks, and when Knauf wont
on the slate they sent word to the in
surgents to present Fisk. A the flniBh.
however, the machine vote went almost
solid for Knauf. Much of the credit
for Knauf's victory belongs to Ormsby
McHarg, a young Jamestown attorney,
who was one of the machine leaders on
the floor. is a brother-in-law and
former partner of Knauf. When insur
gent orators had presented Judge Fish
and lauded his ability, McHarg got up
and made an impassioned speech for
Knauf. combated the theory of a
non-partizan judiciary, and declared
that judges should be selected for their
political principles, as well as other of
ficials. ajso eulogized Knauf for
his ability as a lawyer, and his services
to the republican party. McHarg's
speech swept the machine delegates into
line for Knauf. J&M considered cer
tain that Judge Fish will be nominated
by the demociats ^ajpAst Knauf, while
thev will probablyiaMbrse Judge Mor
gan, the present chjpr^pistice.. I the
democrats can makes any showing at all
with their ticket, there is a chance of
Judge's Fisk's election.

made the following statement for The
Journal:
Johnson Says He's Satisfied.
We made the fight on principle for self
government by the people, and our vic
tory is complete Our amendment to the
platform pledging the party to a com
prehensive primary election law covering
state officers, congressmen and an ex
pression of popular preference as to
United States senators stands out so
conspicuously as to dwarf all else in the
platform.
We have held our last state convention.
After this election every voter in the
state will have an opportunity to express
himself directly as to every office with
out the intervention of any state or
ccunty convention The governor and
eveiy republican member of the legisla
ture will be elected on this platform.
Even If some legislative districts were
not committed, they will bow to the ma
jority. As there will be no legislative
or county conventions it is impossible
for any republican candidate for the
legislature to get on any other platform.
Governor Sarles, if elected on this plat
form, is sure to sign the law. He never
has vetoed anything that was not clearly
wrong, e.g., extravagant items in appro
priation bills.
Of course "eternal vigilance Is the
price of liberty," so that the Good Gov
ernment league may still, for many years
to come, have Important and useful work
to do. But, as I see It. when this gov
ernor and legislature pass the law prom
ised in the platform, the people will have
self-government in fact as well as in
name, and the league will have accom
plished its mission.
We made the campaign purely on prin
ciple for the good of the party and state.
We wanted no offices and we had no
candidates until as a matter of form at
the last moment.
We have won out handsomely.
Spalding Hopeful for 1908.
Some of the other insurgents are not
so sanguine about the passage of the
aw next winter, but they are confident
of success two years from now. B.
Spalding says they made, an entirely
satisfactory showing, considering wh at
they had to contend with. They did
not pay a cent to any newspaper and
had only enough for traveling expenses
and correspondence. Three-fourths of
the Fargo business men were with them,
he says, but thought there was no
chance to win in the first fight, so did
nothing. Even then fifty votes would
have given them Cass county's whole
delegation.
One of the machine nominees said
yesterday that, with 150 delegates
wanting Ho candidate, and ready to be
delivered anywhere, the insurgents
really had them going, and with man
agement equal to that of the machine
forces, they should have wo out. That
phalanx of delegates wanting nothing
but to beat_ the mahine, was a new
4{ factor
there is a state convention in 1908 it
will bob up again, H. T. Helgeson of
Milton, wb led the insurgents two
years ago, has been preaching ever
since that convention that the insur
gents must stand for principle and not
ask for offices. So delegates were not
elected in the interests of any candi
date, but only as insurgents. The mem
bers of the Good Government league
committee all renounced the offices to
start with. Only on the eve of the
convention was a list of candidates se
lected to stand for the insurgent prin
ciple.
McKenzie Feels Vindicated.
One of the happiest nfen in James
town was Alex McKenzie, the un
crowned king of the machine. The fight
this year was pre-eminently McKenzie's
fight. Governor Sarles was a seconda
ry consideration, and there is no sena
torial election next winter. The insur
gents made their attacks on McKen
zie, on his alleged control of the state
in the interests of the railroads, and
on his personal record in the Alaska
trouble and elsewhere. McKenzie took
a bigger hand in the campaign than he
has done for several years. Shortly be
fore the primaries he took a quiet trip
over the state and saw to it personally
that the delegations from machine
counties were "right" and the pri
mary campaign properly conducted. The
event showed that, with all his ene
mies, McKenzie has really a strong per
sonal hold on the people of North Da
kota. A least he has the leaders, the
men who do things in politics, in a
large majority of the counties. They
accept his leadership and fight for him
as hard as they ever did, and the
Alaska stories, tho exploited for all
they were worth, had little effect. Mc
Kenzie did not even dignify them with
a reply. feels that the result is
a vote of confidence by the people of
the state.
Both sides are expecting a death
struggle two years from now. The
"regulars" are confident that they will
still hold the reins, and they did suc
ceed in strengthening their lines at the
convention, in some places. They split
McHenry county, and got eight out of
fifteen votes in a county considered sol
idly insurgent. They did not give
Ward county all it wanted, but were
successful in holding it solid, and rely
on Alfred Blaisdell, the young man
from Minot nominated for# secretary of
state, to keep the organization solid
in Ward, now the largest county in
the state. Blaisdell, by the way is a
Minnesotan. was brought up in
Fairmont, where his brothers are still
living, and graduated, from the Uni
versity of Minnesota in 1898.
Both Sides Want Stockwell.
W. L. Stockwell, the state superin
tendent, who was honoreel by a unani
mous renomination, is considered a com
ing man. is believed to be an in
surgent in sympathy, but circumstances
have kept him from joining their cause.
The insurgents tried to get him to come
out for governor last fall, and believe
if he had he could have been nomin
ated, as he is clean, an able speaker,
and a good "mixer." was not sit
.uated to make the run, however.
is dependent on his state salary for an
income. The insurgents could have
given him little aid financially, and if
beaten he would have been left high
and dry. So he kept out of the fight.
His county is insurgent, and while the
delegates were for him, they would not
support Sarles, and only six of the
seventeen signed the machine slate.
Stockwell was in an embarrassing posi
tion, but the machine did not want to
turn him down. Figuring on the fu
ture, they left his name on the slate.
Had they dropped him, they would have
assured the insurgents a popular lead
er next time. Th machine wants to
keep Stockwell, and it would not be
surprisinff if it took him up for gov
ernor in 1908. The insurgpnts want him
for the same purpose, or to pit against
Hansbrough for the senate. Walsh
county is insurgent, and most of Stock
well's friends will work to land him in
the "good government" camp.
Two "Pat" Stories.
Two of the most telling speakers on
the insurgent side, and they had an
abundance of orators, were P. Nor
ton of Devils Lake and A. T. Cole

compared it to the railroad bill passed
under Governor Shortridge for a joke,
and which the governor signed. I pro
vided that railroad companies should
run trains at least one way each day
over all main and branch lines, "when
ever in the judgment of the company
the revenue to be derived therefrom
will properly compensate for the cost
of operation." A fine of $500 if or
violation of this act was gravely in
cluded.
P. D. Norton made a sarcastic com
ment on the pro-railroad speech of
Chairman Williams. Apropos of North
Dakota'8 debt to the railroads, he told
of a county auditor they used to have
up in Ramsey county. had an ex
alted idea of his importance and felt
himself indispensable. "I've been run
ning that county auditor's office a
long time," he said one day to his
friend Mike, "and I wonder what
Ramsey county would do if I died sud
denly.
"Yes, that's quite a thought," Mike
replied, "but did ever wonder what
you would do if Ramsey county should
die suddenly?"
"Insurgent" Label Repudiated.
M. N Johnson did not please all his
comrades when he repudiated the word
"insurgent" Thursday night. The term
was applied first by the machine pa
pers, but was accepted by the antis,
who have been using it themselves.
Mr. Johnson declared that they
were merely "republicans," as their
badges proclaimed, and that factional
names were out of place. thought
the "regulars" next time should label
themselves "absolutely regular."
Mr. Johnson did not make a hit,
either, when, just before adjournment
at midnight, he opened up on the rec
ord of Congressman Gronna, sitting be
side him in the Nelson county box.
and Gronna were both willing to
fight it out if it took all night, but
many delegates wanted to take a mid
night train, and hadn't heard the re
sults of the ballot on state officers.
It was an insurgent, Cole of Fargo, who
raised the point of order, and said they
ought to take their quarel back to
Nelson county.

SUMME AMUSEMENT
AT PARK AND THEATER
Miss Stone's
interpre ation
of the part of
Zoraya, known
as the sor
ceress, and
written for Sarah Bernhardt by Vic
tonen Sardou, needs no introduction to
Minneapolis playgoers. I has been en
thusiastically received here and those
who have seen it have raised their
voices loudest in asking for its pro
duction this summer. With a desire to
give his patrons what they want, no
matter what the cost in money and
labor, Manager Ferris has prepared a
lavish production of the srreat drama.
It has been no sacrifice for Miss
Stone to prepare for this part because
she is in love with it. She has made
an exhaustive study of the history,
literature, and traditions of Spain in
the sixteenth century, the scene of the
stage story, and she enters with all her
well-known enthusiasm into a por
trayal of the beautiful Moorish girl
who sacrificed all for her love.
AH the members of the company like
the play and have entered with more
earnestness into its production than
into that of any other of the summer
season's bills.
The cast is as follows:
Don Enrique de Palaclog. Lewis S. Stone
PadiUa, Governor of Toledo Harrington Reynolds

Unique Theater
A prize headliner stunt, which comes
heralded as the bieest vaudeville act
now before the public, will be featured
in the Unique show next week. Com
mencing with two matinees on Monday
afternoon, the Laveiees, six in number,
and known to the profession as the
"Six Tossing Laveiees," will present
their sensational acrobatic novelty at
every performance during the week.
Raymond and Clark, in a new com
edy sketch, are also among the promi
nent headliners who will entertain the
Unique's patrons. These artists have
improved upon their clever sketch of
two seasons ago and are now strictly to
the fore with one of the best "two"
acts in the business.
Arthur Lane, comedian, whose eccen
tricities of voice and delivery have
made him a favorite, will also be ac
tively identified with the new bill.
The singing portion will be chiefly
looked after by .Miller and Edwards,
two of the best singers in popular
priced vaudeville.
For the Sunday performances tomor
row the bill of specialties of this week
will be continued. A set of new motion
will be presented, and Herman
a Fleur will sing new illustrated
songs.
Lake Harriet Pavilion
So great has been the success attend
ing the vocal solos given this week
U. S. Kerr, to the accompaniment of
the Oberhoffer Orchestral band at the
Lake Harriet Pavilion roof garden, that
thought it better to adopt the plank
and make the insurgents feel better.
The Busy Delegate from Williams.
There was an odd customer on the
stage, chairman of the Williams county
delegation. It was Dr. Belyea of Wil
liston, a squat little man with a bel
ligerent expression, who was never still
a minute. kept up a running fire
o remarks and motions, more or less
relevant. The county of Williams was
named for General Erastus A. Williams,
who presided, and Dr. Belyea never
allowed the convention to forget the
fact. presumed on the relationship
a little, however. When General Wil
liams admitted his ignorance of a rule,
Dr. Belyea shouted: "Better post up
better next time, 'Rastus." The chair
man didn't know whether to laugh or
get mad, and compromised with a diplo
matic smile.
Passes for Thousands.
The anti-pass agitation hasn't struck
North Dakota very hard, but the evil
is there in its gravest form. I is no
exaggeration to say that a thousand
delegates and visitors came into James
town on free transportation. The state
committee hadn't taken the trouble to
fnsurgentsusual
ret the reduced rate, but the
came in with a vigorous kick
on paying full fare, and the concession
was arranged. I was noticeable that
not many delegates presented creden
tials for signature. Passes were free
as water. North Dakotans are wonder
ing what effect the anti-pass clause in
the railroad rate bill will haye on
them. Probably passes will be limited
to North Dakota, and it may end the
St. Paul conferences. There is still the
chance, however, of fixing out all local
leaders with employees' transportation.

Oberhoffer appears to haye outdone
himself in arranging programs which
combine the religious with the "popu

andthe Sunday afternoon and evening
audiences become larger and larger, Mr.
Oberhoffer pute on bigger and bigger
Sunday programsand those for to
morrow are by far the most pretentious
ever offered for Sunday crowds.
The sacred side of the concert, begin

include the favorite, "Holy City," as
a cornet solo by W. C. Marjow, and a
paraphrase of the song, O Lord Pro

from "Rinaldo," while the world of
light opera will be drawn upon for a
selection of familiar airs from "Er-

Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" will
form an attractive double number and
there will be much to please those who
seek the shade of the canvas canopy
during the afternoon.
A grand selection from the sacred
opera, "Samson and Delilah," will be
the opening number of the evening pro

the Chorus of Rebellion, and ma ny
other parts of this great Saint-Saens

Wonderland Amusement Park
The coming of J. S. Duss and his
famous band to Wonderland for an en
gagement of two weeks, beginning with
tomorrow, is a new departure in the
way of amusement attractions and the
experiment will be watched with in
terest. While the engagement is due to
the desire of the Wonderland manage
ment to have an attraction that will be
pleasing to the visitors coming to the
twin cities because of the sacngerfest
at St. Paul, it affords an opportunity to
test the public disposition to sunport
high-class musical attractions Should
it prove successful other bands of note
will probablv follow
The concerts aTe to be given at the
lower end of the grounds aloof from
the noise incident to the various amuse

stand has been erected and the audi
ence will be seated in comfortable park
benches
Judging from the reputation of the
band, music lovers will find its visit
a treat, or rather a series of trents,
for the concerts are to be given twee
a day for a period of two wepks. The
band is a large one and among its solo
ists are Bert Brown* cornetist Jsa,
Latisch. harpist, and C. Funaro,
euphoniumist. The twin cities saw
Duss himself last winter as the con
ductor of the Pittsburg orchestra and
liked his style. is magnetic, leads
easilv and, while not as theatric as
some, he still seems to live every bar
of the music.
There will be a complete change of
program daily and while the concerts
will be high in quality, Duss has been
noted for his concessions to popular
music. is a musical cosmopolitan,
catholic in his tastes, and this has
been a prominent factor in his success,

There is to be no advance in prices
