STIU^ SERIOUS
Railroads Double Efforts to
Prevent Congestion—"Car
Hunters" at Work.
Comietielni today the railroads of
the northwest will double their efforts
to ward off oar shortage and the most
persistent attempt will be made to
break tip car congestion where It haa
begun to show. To keep the grain
crop moving-and to expeditiously ban
die other shipments, the shippers will
be asked taf continued co-operation
and car service rules will be strictly
enforced.
...According to word received from
Minneapolis and 8t. Paul, the head
quarters of roads operating in the
northwest, the "anti-shortage" cam
paign Includes:
Doubling the number of "car
hunters" In the Held.
Bringing up of empties from
the east for the flour mills.
Loading coal heavily at Duluth.
Arranging with connecting
roads for specific cars to be load
ed- to specific stations with coal or
titer needed commodities.
Traffic men agree the situation de
mands the closest watching. The
situation In North Dakota Is serious,
it was said here today. Grain ship
ments have already been delayed four
or five weeks, and. If present condi
tions prevail, there Is every Indication
that the railroads will be kept busy
all winter hauling wheat.
The greatest difficulty, so far as
North Dakota Is concerned, is getting
the cars unloaded at their destination,
so that the grain can be properly
handled. So far as the shipments of
coal and other commodities into the
city are concerned, the car shortage
will work no hardship on state resi
dents. Just as soon as the wheat can
be unloaded at the Duluth docks, there
are plenty of cars there to handle coal
shipments out of that place.
"Car hunters" are quite the thing in
various sections of North and South
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Jowa
and Illinois at present. "The woods
are full of them" is the way in which
one of the local Great Northern of
ficials expressed It today. The most
thorough car service check ever made
is being carried on.
One of the railroad officials In Min
neapolis- said he was convinced the
threatened car shortage would be pre
vented by good management and co
operation between the railroads and
shippers at least until after January
1. They all agree, however, that the
situation Is serious, and that the great
est care will have to be exercised to
prevent a congestion.
Th^. Minneapolis & So, Louis road
has perfected an agreement with the
Omaha, Northern Pacific,. Great Nor
thern and Soo, for supplying its west
ern territory with coal. The road is
furnishing grain cars to other ltyies on
agreeirilrft that the cars be loaded with
coal at the .head of the lakes and bill
ed to Minneapolis & So. Louis stations,

SAYS WILSON HAS
FAILED TO CURB
NEW JERSEY TRUSTS
That Governor Woodrow Wilson
has made a signal failure In the mat
ter of curbing the trusts and mon
opolies of New Jersey and Is an ex
ponent of free trade and diiaater was
Jhe trend of the remarks of Dr. Henry
S. Curtlss of Olivet, Mich., and A. L.
Lundeen of Minneapolis at a meeting
..he city hall Saturday evening.
Mr. uindeen, who Is a member of
the Minnesota legislature, made a
vigorous assault on the democratic
claims for victory. He said that Gov
ernor Johnson of California had as
sured the people ot that state that
the progressive party would grant
every great progressive measure that
they wished. He declared he would
kick the Southern Pacific and Boss
Harrlman out of California politics,
and within four months after hu over
whelming victory he had placed on
the statute books of his state the
Initiative and referendum, the recall
Including Judges, every other pro
gressive measure demanded by the
people. The speaker considered that
Johnson stood head and ahoulders
above Wilson.
Dr. Curtlss said that after he had
made an investigation of conditions
In the south he had decided not to
vote for Wilson who he was convinced
would not be able to carry out any
of his progressive policies. He con
sidered that the democratic candidate
was hampered by the south and by
Tammany as these factions of the par
ty would not stand for any progressive
policy,

Miss Addams is optimistic as to the
probability of Colonel Roosevelt being
elected president although she does
not predict a landslide or upheaval.
"Everywhere I've been," she said,
"they seem to favor him. but, of
course, would not say that all the
country Is for him. I believe his elec
tion probable, but am conservative. I
saw him In the hospital at Chicago
after he was shot, and regret that he
had been forced to withdraw from his
gallant fight. He Is needed, now. Col
onel Roosevelt Is one of the grandest
men this nation ever produced. It
pleases me to speak of him."
To Continue Until Election.
Miss Addams has delivered over
twenty addresses in the interest of
Mr. Roosevelt and will continue up to
the day of election.
"But I am not the only woman mak
ing addresses In his behalf," she said.
"Miss Alice Carpenter is doing a
splendid work for him In New York
and recently I met a Mrs. Thompson
In Oklahoma, who Is speaking for him.
Besides these, many women are mak
ing local speeches in his behalf.
Women are Divided.
"I would not say that more women
favor Colonel Roosevelt for the presi
dency than any other candidate.
Rather, my Information Is that they
are divided in much the same manner
as the men. Unquestionably, Mr.
Roosevelt has many admirers among
the women, but I think the other can
didates have, too."
Miss Addams had no unkind word
for any man In public life. Even
President Taft, whose re-election sho
Is opposing, draws no shafts from her.
Woodrow Wilson, the democratic can
didate, is characterised as a "pleasing
gentleman, one I met before he be

Miss Addams spent Saturday and
Sunday In the twin cities. In Minne
apolis she spoke last night at the audi,
torlum, delivering her twenty-second
address in the Interest of Colonel
Roosevelt. After she arrived In St.
Paul, she gave out the following In
terestlng Interview:
"Yes," she said in reply to a ques
tion, "I believe in woman's suffrage.
I think that women should be given
the ballot, especially as humanitarian
matters are constantly arising—mat
ters in which they can add so much
to help in their adjustment. The day
will come, of course, when women In
all sections will get the ballot. Their
entry will cause more interest to be
taken in political matters. In no
state where suffrage has been granted
has there been cause for regret, and
Wyoming has had It since 1869. I
am told that in Minnesota, while suff
rage lost at the last session of the
legislature, it has been arranged for

JUSTICE BRUCE
WAS CONNECTED
WITH HULL HOUSE
The appearance In the state, and
particularly In Grand Forks of Miss
Jane Addams recalls to mind the fact
that Justice A. A. Bruce, who was for
a number of years dean of the law
school here, was associated tor some
time with Miss Addams at Hull House.
In the fall of 1892, Justice Bruce be
gan the practice of law in Chicago. He
very soon joined the little colony of
workers associated with Miss Jane
Addams at the now famous Hull
House social settlement. He lived in
Hull House for several years. As legal
advisor, active attorney and public
speaker he became a tower of strength
in the settlement's many struggles to
remedy social and political conditions
In that part of Chicago.

Mayor Waugh Urged Build
ing of Rink in gity—Mayor
Berry of St. Boniface Here
With Mayor R. D. Waugh of Win
nipeg, Mayor J. N. Berry of St Boni
face, and the members of the Curling
committee as guests, the regular Mon
day dinner of the Commercial club
directors was held today, when the
Curling club proposition was dis
cussed at length. Nothing definite
was decided, as it was' deemed best
to leave the question In the hands of
the committee for further work.
Both Mayor Waugh and Mayor Ber
ry sPoke in favor of the curling prop
osition, and urged those present to do
everything possible 1 nthe way of
providing such a club for the city.
F. D. Cameron, chairman of the
special Commercial club committee,
submitted facts and figures, showing
that the Curling club proposition
could be financed in this city for $10,
000. This Included the Purchase of a
suitable site and the .erection of a
proper building. The combined cur
ling and skating rink question was
discussed at some length, but It was
the consensus of opinion that the cur
ling rink proposition should be under
taken alone at present The men
present believed the curling club
could be provided this fall, and be so
constructed as to permit the building
next year of a suitable Ice rink. The
committee, under the direction of Mr.
Cameron, will resume work at once,
and it Is believed that something
definite in the way of constructing a
rink will be accomplished before long.
Two sites for the rink, one1 on Univer
sity avenue and the other on North
Fourth street are being considered.
Mayor Waugh addressed the mem
bers Present. He described Winnipeg
and Duluth rinks, and advised them
that the curling rink In the latter city
would probably be the kind they
would want for Grand Forks. The
rink, of course, would be considerably
smaller. He told something of the
matter of financing such a club, and
expressed the belief that it could be
handled very easily in this city.
Mayor Waugh expressed the opin
ion that the construction of such a
rink would bring a large number of
visitors here during annual bonsplels.
It would also serve In establishing
closer relations between Winnipeg
and Grand Forks, he said, as the
Canadian curlers would undoubtedly
visit the local rlnk two or three times
a season, competing with Grand
Forks and other North Dakota cur
lers.
Mayor Waugh and Mayor Berry
will be guests at the bi-weekly Com
mercial club dinner tonight.

To begin, let me say emphaticacally, I believe him well qualified
for the position. A full sollege course and a complete course in law
school makes the very best foundation, and when you add to that,
the thirteen years of experience he has had it is In itself a guaranty
of qualification.
With Mr. Ogren we have more. His expenses in college and
law schpol were not paid for him. No rosy pathway was laid out
for htm when a boy, but on the contrary, at 12 years of age he
commenced tha battle of life on his own responsibility.
His education was paid for by money he earned as boy and
young man and was secured because of his ambition to make a
name and place for himself. The experiences of his early strug
gles necessarily gave him an Insight Into the human side of life
that would be of great aid to a trial Judge. He is young, strong
and vigorous, both physically and mentally.
You say, It has been stated that he has not been an active trial
lawyer. I say, so much the better, for, the active trial lawyer is
very liable, if elevated to the bench, to take sides in the trial of
cases, and in other ways become partial. have known judges to
do this, not because they wanted to be unfair, but because their
temperament- ran away with them. The best trial Judge the state
ever had. according to my Judgment, was never an active trial law
yer—while the late Justice Brewer, one of the best judges ever on
the United States supreme court, practiced law but a verv few
year*, and was never active In the trial of cases.
Regarding the letter that Is being circulated on behalf of Judge
Templeton. to which you call my attention. It is. I believe, true
as stated, that he has held office a great manv years. Fourteen
years. 1f the letter Is correct, as Judge of this district, and prior to
that he held, office as attorney general.
As to the number of practising attorneys who are actually
supporting him I cannot say. True there area good many names
signed to the letter, hut of the twenty-nine names of Grand Forks
county men only twelve appear on the last term's court calendar.
Four of them are In the firms of Bangs & Robblns and Murphy &
Duggan, and another one Is Chas. M. Cooley of this firm, who at
tends to very little of the trial work, but who Is a personal friend
of the Judge and spent some time with him at Lake Bemldji this
summer where the Judge was convalescing from the serious illness
•poken of In his circular letter.
It would be strange Indeed If the attorneys did not have their
preferences as well as other people, and so we have in this matter,
but I do not consider the letter referred of much aid in deter
mining the.feeling of the bar, especially In view of the way It was
obtained, for you know how almost Impossible it would be for a
number of men t» refuse, when the Judge himself presented the
letter for signature, or when it was presented by such powerful
men as
A. Bang* and Charles J. Murphy.
Of course there are strong men supporting the present incum
bent. Take, for Instance, the top row of signatures to the letter.
We have Geo. A. Bangs, recognised as one of the strong men of the
district, representing in this state the Brewers association and va
rious other big Interest? and whose ability was recognized by Judge
Templeton when be appointed him to prosecute a recent criminal
action.
Charles J. Murphy is another strong man, who. with his part
ner, Fred S. Duggan, attends to a large private law practice In ad
dition to his work as attorney for the Great Northern railway
eompany and Scott Rex, the Judge's old law partner, who must
be recognised as a good lawyer or his name would not have ap
peared as attorney for the International Harvester company.
The recommendation of such men, if given disinterestedly
should be given consideration, but on the whole. I must recommend
Mr, Ogren.
Without In any manner reflecting upon the Judge now serving
and with all consideration for the great number of vears he has
held office In this district. I cannot help but feel that Mr Ouren
is better qualified to fill the position, as said before.
He is young, strong and vigorous In body and mind. He has
the necessary legal knowledge. He has the temperament that goes
to make a good Judge, ffc comes fresh from the people, fullv
equipped for the position, and determined to till it with honor to
himself and Justice toward all.
