'"•••. LYNN W. SPERRY. For County Judge. I hereby announce myself a candidate for county judge, subject to the republican vot ers at the June .primaries. This is the program which has been agreed upon in conference be tween the republican leaders and the president. It has sense on its side The designation republican which the congressional committee carries means exactly what it says. It was the republican party which carried the country for congress and presi dent in 1908. The party has taken the country at its word. Thus far we have had a republican policy. A few men masquerading under the repub lican name have impeded the party. They have joined with the democrats in attempts to defeat the program of the party which elected them. Through the aid of these men the democrats are counting on winning some seats in the house in the elec tion thls year. The republican con gressional committee cannot reason ably be expected to aid in this con spiracy. None but republicans will be put on guard in this exigency. The is sues which are before the country are large and the people by their votes in 1906 said that they wanted these iInes.s T. R. MOCKLER. COUNTY. ssue to be settled along republican It Svas a republican anjf npt a mugwump convention'which riom inated Taft. Republicans and not in. surgents elected him. The men who bear the republican label have a ma jority of forty-seven in the house of representatives,. In a chamber of 391 members this margin is not very broad. It is broad enough, however, if every member who appealed for republican support during the cam paign of 1908 carries out the pledge which he made in accepting the re publican candidacy. On a narrower margin than this the republican party has often made a great record. The republican leaders are attempt ing to give the American people the sort of government which they asked at the polls a year and a third ago. If the element who entered congress under false pretenses prevent the republicans from meeting the peo ple's expectations the people will know just wbere to lay the blame. If the ten or fifteen representatives and senators who were elected as repub licans, but who vote as democrats, expect aid from the republican con gressional committee this year they are unreasonable. This is not what the republican committee is here for. Regardless of the mask which he carried at his election the man who votes democratic must.be classed as a democrat. Only two parties are recognized in our political scheme to day These are the democratic and the republican. Our politics takes no account of hybrids. The man who opposes republican measures is prac tically a democrat. In the campaign of 1910 no democrat need apply for aid from the republican congression al committee. !KS!KIl»Si^}m® pKW HOWARD A. THOMAS. For County Judge. I am a candidate for the republican nom ination as county judge at the primary elec tion. I respectfully solicit the support of republican voters. M. J. McKENZTE. A REPUBLICAN EDITOR'S VIEW. St. Louis Globe Democrat: In the campaign of 1910 the republican con gressional committee will give out republican literature, and not insur gent, literature. The committee will not oppose insurgents in the primar ies and will not work against them at the polls if they receive the nom. illation. But before and after the primaries, in giving out campaign documents, the committee will con fine itself strictly to documents v/hich bear the stamp of republican regularity. If the insurgents want literature of their own complexion they will have to supply it them selves. The advent of the spring season at the first of March is something unusual in this region. March is us ually a cold and blustering month, and while there is not any long con tinued cold weather, there is little of spring flavor in the month. This year, however, the first of the month saw mild and pleasant weather, with a succession of days when the ther mometer was above freezing, and the snow disappeared as rapidly as we might expect ordinarily in April weather. The river, yielding to the rush of water from the melting snows farther west and the volume of water from the tributaries of the Missouri, has broken at an earlier_|_petitive, daie than for a great many years The soil is getting warm- and the frost is disappearing froni-'ftfe" upper surface so that farm work will be possible in a few days, it the present weather continues. Trees are bud ill a good many, instances, and rjy and vines show the ef fects of the warm, spring-like weath er. There are those who gloomily predict that this is but a temporary warm period, to be compensated for by colder weather, later on, and this may be so, but it may be true on the other hand that we are. to have an exceptionally* early and long contin ued spring season. This is the bet ter view to take of the season, and it is as easy to take as the ,other. Sam Clark started to carry out his threats to expose the iniquity of Minot'a business and other leaders last Saturday—but the spring weath er was so beautiful he could not find it in his heart to say anything mean about anybody and so be put it off till this week sometime. We begin to think Sam's promises are for the purpose of promoting the Reporter's circulation. Judge Goss seems to meet with in dorsement in the northwestern part of the state in his candidacy for the supreme bench. And a number of lightning rods are up from candi dates for the district bench in case Goss should be promoted. Even the Valley City Times-Record thinks that Plumley is too good hearted and Brewer is too good na tured to be convicted of criminal libel—under *"the present severe statute.

Appropriate announcement to the citizens of Grand Forks have been made by Dr. Wheeler and M. F. Murphy, both candidates for mayor.

Mil burn, of New York, spoke for three hours in its defense. He will con clude tomorrow. The remainder of the day will be devoted to the second step in the' great contest, the reply of Frank Kellogg, on the part of the govern ment. The hearing of the sutt against the Standard Oil attracted to the court room lawyers and spectators from aft" sections of the country. Members of both houses of congress forsook their respective, chambers to hear what was to be said in the review of the decree of the circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri, dis solving the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey as a conspiracy in restraint of trade and as a monopoly in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. Milbnrn's Address. The greater part of Mr. Milburn's address to the court consisted of a review of the growth of the Standard Oil, with the object of laying the, foundation for the claim that the corporations entering into the reor ganization of the Standard Oil Co. of New. Jersey in 1899 were non-com because for many years they had been under a so-called common ownership. He told of the tremendous size of the business of the Standard Oil Co. and explained how It had grown, ac- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE. TUESDAY MOANING, MARCH 15, 19 10. cording to his .conception. He said large factors in thig growth were the building of pipe lines "Which any body bad a right to «mild"-as if be desired-ijt, the. building of refineries and the extending of the marketing facilities throughout this country and the entire. Foreign Competition. "We compete abroad with great corporations" he said, "That are protected by their governments and compelled to combine so that they may be powerful. We have been able to meet them because of our strength." Toward the close of the day he en tered upon a discussion of the Sher man anti-trust act. He said inas much as the circuit court had held that there mere, method of organiza tion as a conspiracy to monopolize and had not considered the alleged monopolistic conduct, he felt an em barrassment about discussing wheth er they violated the law. "You discuss them in your brief, do you not?" queried one of the jus tices. "Oh, yes," was the response. After a discussion of the general meaning of monopoly he reverted to the alleged monopolistic conduct of the Standard Oil. Not in Restraint of Trade. Milburn said he did not believe that the corporation was in restraint of trade, in view of the "Common ownership." It had never restrained the liberties or capital of any one who had entered into it nor any one who was its competitor, he asserted. Instead of being a monopoly, it was urged by Mr. Milburn, that the amount of business it was doing was decreasing. Justice Harlan asked Mr. Milburn if he would call an organization of men to buy all the coal lands in Pennsylvania a conspiracy in re the straint of trade and a monopoly. "The question you put is one diffi cult of solution" responded the coun sel. He explained to the court that he was really getting "Out of his line of business" in. discussing monopo lies. said "I think you are in your line Justice White. "Well, the Sherman law is very In teresting" observed Mr. Millburn. "Napoleon complained that the laws did not lend themselves to the imagi nation but he had never read the Sherman anti-trust act." Finally Mr.' Milburn took up the charges of monopolistic conduct as alleged to have been shown by trans portation discrimination. He declar ed the idea that the railroads throughout the country would dis criminate in favor^of a business that afforded only..hilf of. one per cent of the total traffic, was preposter ious. He said the government cries of tremendous discriminations in favor of the Standard Oil refining points and against the independent refining points. "No innnedndee shrdl cmfwy hrdla "No independent refiner since,1887" he added, "When the interstate (CAm* merce act was, passed. »Jtm tiWPM The Authentic American Watch It is universally acknowledged that the United States has produced the best machinery in the World. American agricul tural implements, electrical machinery, locomotives, clocks and Waltham Watches lead in the markets of the World. As long ago as the Centennial Exhibition in 1876, the Commissioner from Switzerland visited the Waltham Watch factory and picked out a watch at random from a lot of others. When he returned to Switzerland he told the Swiss Watch Manufacturers that not one Swiss watch in 50,000 would compare with that Waltham watch he had picked up haphazard at the Waltham Factory. A state ment even more true now than then. We advise you to buy a Waltham Watch adjusted to temperature and position and to buy only from a jeweler because he can regulate it to your personal habit and occupation. Never buy from Mail Order Houses. They cannot have the thorough knowledge or the equipment for regulating high grade watches. WALTHAM WATCH COMPANY, WALTHAM, MASS. Send for the "Perfected American Watch," our book about watfchesJ' the lower nature that comes tipper most, under such conditions, you know. But are we to be held re sponsible for all. the. acts of pur em, ployes? Out of 37,000 towns in which the Standard Oil is located he said the records show complaints of unfair competition from 37. An example of those who had complained of com petition, he said, was one ex-employe who had explained he quit the Stan dard Oil because of its bad moral in fluence on business. This man, it was said, took with him files of the Standard Oil When he quit its ser vice, and those files were used by the government in the preparation of the case. As to the charge that Standard Oil men corrupted railroad officials in or der to obtain information as to its competitors business he asserted that employes found doing such would 'be discharged. Experience had taught the Standard Oil, he said, that it had to be more virtuous than most corporations. When the court adjourned for the day, Mr. Milburn was declaring that no complaints by independents had ever been made of the Standard con trol of its trunk pipe lines. He told the court he would conclude his re marks in about ten minutes tomor row. After Mr. Kellogg's argument, D. T. Watson and John G. Johnson will speak on behalf of the Standard Oil, and Attorney General Wickersham on behalf of the government, will ad dress the court probably on Wednes day, ALLAWAITING -New York, Mar. 14.—The tame and Conclusive ending of Senator Root's brusque descent upon New York found expression today in the' cheer ful and bustling activity of Chair? man Timothy L. Woodruff and the moody confidences of the election, captains who struggled from state headquarters to county headquarters and then sat down in back rooms to talk it over. Chairman Woodruff was all smiles. "I said" said he "That the morn ing papers quoted me today on my conference last. night with Senator Root as making but one comment, three times .repeated, with varying degrees of emphasis 'Ask Root that's right." The chairman stared straight into' the eyes of a paste board puppy that does duty on his desk as a calendar and beamed, agreement with the legend across the puppy's 'breast "HappyCflays." The chairman did not explain his feeyngi'but the general understand plained to, the intewtate. ^mineree W»i. be regards the situation commission of discriminating." •, He spoke of- the alleged unfair competition.
