Let Us Have Republican Success
There is a contest in this state
this year between the republicans
and the democrats. There is no
mistaking the plain issue. While
the democrats have sought to put
the campaign for governor on a
non partisan basis, in order to get
republican votes for Burke for
governor, there is no non partisan
ship in the democratic attitude.
The democrats have brought W.
J. Bryan into the state on a spec
ial train to compaign for the dem
ocratic cause. They have exerted
every effort to get votes for the de
mocracy—not for any non parti
san candidates. They want the
head of the administration to be a
democrat in order that they may
build up a stronger democratic
machine. The appointees who
hold offices of profit in the state
are democrats. The democratic
statfc machine is as lose a corpora
tion as ever existed in any state.
The democrats have hopes of
electing democratic candidates for
congressmen and a democratic leg
islature—and if they do not elect
all of them this fall, they hope to
strengthen their state machine by
the election of a democratic gov
ernor so that they may enter the
presidential campaign of 1912,
with an effective state organiza
tion.
These things ought to appeal to
the republicans of the state and
convince them that there is no
non partisanship in the democra
tic attitude. There was no parti
sanship in the appointment of a
United States senator. There has
been no non partisanship in the
distribution of profitable offices.
And every office holder in the
state who has been named by the
governor is out boosting for the
democratic «ause. This ought to,
dispose of the democratic cry of
non partisanship.
The farmers of this state have
had experience with democratic
rule. They have seen fifty cent
wheat, no market for their pro
ducts, armies of unemployed men
marching through the state in
search of work and bread. They
have seen all this under democra
tic rule. Do they want such a
condition again? If not. they
should be loyal to the republican
state ticket and pay no attention
to the efforts of democrats to get
them to vote for the democratic
candidate for governor. No state
in the union has prospered more
than North Dakata under republi
can rule. Wheat, flax, corn, meat
products and everything the far
mer sells has advanced rapidly in
price. The demand for land has
been great. Never before was
there such a condition of prosper
ity as has existed in rth Dako
ta since the time of McKinley
and Roocevelt.
Are the people of this state
going to throw away tln-ir birth
right at the request of a lot of
democratic candidates for office?
Do they intend to sacrifice their
prosperity because the democrats
want to get into office? Do they
intend to help build up a great
democratic machine by electiug
John Burke and turning all of the
state institutions over to the de
mocrats? If not, they should
vote the republican ticket and for
C. A. Johnson for governor.
Mr. Jofcnson was fairly nomin
ated at the primaries. He is an
old and respected resident of the
state. He has served his county
and city in various capacities.
He has been a prominent school
official, member of the legislature,
mayor of Minot and he has filled
every office he has held with cred
it. He is pledged to a fair square
and honorable administration of
the affairs of the state. He is
not bossed or controlled by any
man or set of men Statments to
that effect are merely made for
campaigu purposes by the demo
crats.
Personally Mr. Johnson is a
clean and uptight citizen. Old
friends and neighbors speak in
the highest terms of his good citi
zenship and sterling qualifications
He is well kriown in McLean
county. He is a republican can
didate, fairly chosen at the prim­
aries. Why should any republi
can vote for his democratic oppon
ent, when the issue between the
parties is as plain as it is in this
state today?
Let the voters think well over
the matter. On the one hand, the
republican party with its record of
prosperity for the farmers and
business man. On the other hand
the democratic party, seeking to
build up a maohine to turn the
state over to the men who would
take the tarriff off of agricultural
products, blight the business of
the country and return it to the
condition of hard times and dis
tress that we experienced in 1893
and 1894. There shonld be no
question aboat the attitude of the
republicans of this state.
They should vote for C. A.
Johnson and the straight republi
can ticket and head off democra
tic domination of the state, and
assist in heading it off in the na
tion that Taft and Roosevelt and
Senators Cummins, Nelson, Clapp.
Beveridge and other great leaders
declare should continue under re
publican rule.

appears and those who have read
his verse in many of the largest
magazines, want to hear him.

Census Padding.
It Is charged that several cities have
returned population figures consider
ably in advance of their real popula
tion. A little object lesson will illus
trate the foolishness, not to speak of
the criminality, of such a trick. Sup
pose the city of I.obsterville lias sup
plied the thirteenth census with fig
ures shoeing a population of 100,000
when in reality 1 ho place has only
05,000. Suppose these figures are ac
cepted and published and the fraud is
not found out promptly. In 1920 the
fourteenth census will be taken. Other
enumerators, quite probably honest
ones, will make the returns to the bu
reau at Washington. Suppose Lob
sterville is known to have been grow
ing rapidly in population since 1910.
But the 1920 figures show only 85,000
people. What about the 1910 census
showing 100,000? Then, assuredly, tiie
fraud "will out," the same as murder.
There are individuals in this world
who pad their returns. They want to
appear richer and more important than
they really are. But sooner or later
the padding is discovered, and then
the world laughs at the guilty ones.
Whether you are a man or a munici
pality, it is futile and fatuous to try to
work a bluff on the general public, to
make a false showing of your assets.
Time will tell the truth. Don't pad.

Julia Ward How*.
In the leauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfig

As he died to make men holy, let us die
to make men free.
While God is marching- on.
The recent death America's grand
old woman, Julia Ward Howe, in her
ninety-second year serves to recall to
piind the fact that our martial hymns
ef real' poetic merit are few and far
between. It is forty-nine years since
Mi's. Howe wrote the "Battle Hymn
of the Republic," which was sung to
the tune of "John Brown's BodjH" by
Federal soldiers throughout the war
and since the close of that conflict has
been accepted north and south alike as
the triumphal paean of progressive
American democracy. The "Battle
Hymn" is true poetry. It has the dash
and swing of marching troops, the
lyric lilt of word music, and it contains
lines that are of epic height and depth.
This hymn Julia Ward Howe leaves
to the reunited nation as a priceless
legacy. Our literature contains noth
ing so inspiring.
Mrs. Howe devoted much of her life
to a dignified and womanly effort to
make woman free. When she was
born the sphere of woman was con
fined to the household: the higher ed
ucation was for men only. Now our
girls are educated along with our boys,
and many of them excel their brothers
in scholarship. A prominent Japanese
who had lived long in America recent
ly remarked that in his opinion the
superiority' of our civilization over
Japan is due mainly to the fact, vhat
in this country we educate our women,
while in Japan the women are kept in
comparative ignorance. Mrs. Howe
not only did much toward opening the
avenues of education to women, but
she gave many of the later years of
her life to the cause of political rights
for the members of her sex. Whether
we stand for woman suffrage or
against it, we cannot refuse to pay a
tribute of respect to this wonderful
nonagenarian, whose life was a con
stant endeavor toward larger liberty
for all. KOBEKTITS LOVE.
