THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Establishe d 1873) THE PRIMARY ELECTION Of all the injunctions that mtight be given voters of the state, none is more important than that the voters vote. Unless candidates are nominatec! by majority expression there is no real test of the sentiment of the voters. Unless the majority of the voters go to the polls the demagogue who attracts his followers through circus methods is likely to win. North Dakota voters will nominate candidates on the Republican and Democratic tickets, mominate candidates on the nonpartisan and for state offices’ and for county offices. Many important questions are to bei settled in the naming of candidates for various positions. If the weaker are elim- inated in the primaries there is a hetter chance to name efficient, able office-holders in the fall election. In the state, before voters are two full tickets in the field in opposition to each other, the Nestos administration ticket and the Nonpartisan League ticket. On the one hand the Nonpartisan League platform reaffirms the original program of state industries and in addition urges state-owned coal mines, briquetting plants, stock yards and packing houses. ‘The Nestos administration promises a continued trial for the state flour mill, favors restriction of the Bank of North Dakota to the rural credits department and opposes any - further experimentation. Governor Nestos in his opening speech of the campaign saids- “The real issue in this campaign is whether you tax- = payers can afford increased experimentation in state-owned + industries adding not only to the kind of industries to be * undertaken but also to the number of each or whether you ccem it wiser to profit by experience, to follow the counsel of the Independents and to confine this experimentation = within fair, reasonable and safe limits.” The Tribune the time this speech was delivered said = the Governor’ atement in a paragraph was a fair state- ment of the main issue in the campaign. Since that time some Nonpartisan League speakers have said they do not fevor increased experimentation at this time. Their oppon- * cnts point to the platform they have sworn to uphold. The votes of course are entitled to rely on the platforms, and “nce the organization behind Governor Nestos declared for ihe one course and the organization behind A. G. Sorlie de- cleared for an opposite course, the matter is brought into bo'd relief before the voters. There is also the record of the Nestos administration which must be weighed in the balance. This record has been rresented at length by speakers on both sides. Among the claims of the present administration is that it has reduced taxes. The total amount of taxes levied for state purposes this year is less than previously. The Nestos administration z is entitled to tell voters it has made progress in tax reauetion. The record on which the administration must stand includes many actions. It cannot be epitomized in a few words. It has been spread before the voters time and again through this newspaper and others in the last two years. The issues have been fully discussed. The voter must make his choice on the issues presented to him, and it is the duty of every voter to register this decision at the polls to- morrow, WHY? Why do unpleasant stores attract more attention than pleasant ones? Why, for instance, does the thief have a big} lience in fiction or the news, while an honest man is usual- 'y ignored? Asked these questions, Wm. Allen White says he doesn’t know. A surprising answer, for a veteran editor. : “Unpleasant stories,” notably crime, get attention be- cat they are the exceptions. One man with a dagger or pistol arrests the attention of the 108 million Americans who are not murderers. The unusual is news. The unusual in fiction is the spot- light getter. Most people are reasonably decent, law-abid- ing and honest—se much so that the exception excites gen- eral curiosity. LOSES RESIDENCE RIGHTS An Italian, Carmine Priori, landed in New York 20 years ago and went to work with a pick. He helped build the sub- - Way, and many a big building is a monument to his muscles and others’. He married a girl born in the United States With their three boys, they went back to his home in Italy for a visit. Returning to New York, immigration officials barred him because he couldn’t read 40 words on a slip they handed him. It’s a good thing Christopher Columbus didn’t try to land at Ellis Island. DRY ss No one is quite as optimistf as a professional prohibi- tionist. Maybe this is because, not having a thirst, they can’t understand it in others. Professional prohibitionists have been confidently telling the world that Great Britain is scheduled to be next on the water wagon. Lloyd’s, the big London insurance agency, thinks otherwise. It is insuring British distillers against loss of their income by prohibition. And Lloyd’s is betting 590 to 1 that Britain will continue wet. SPENDING Here’s a business mystery. Maybe you can explain it. So far, no one else has been able to. Despite the sudden slackening of business during May, bank clearings (bank checks written the country over) con- t'nued mounting during May. They exceeded 36,693 million dollars—compared With only 32, million dollars in Feb- yuary when every one was working and spending full-blast. = Thieves got ‘$3400 which an Alabama farmer hid in his San. ii “wag not well. placed.

Since the time when Grover Cleve- land was loved for the enemies he | had made, ambitious public men have | 1 in collecting advantageous | It is a good deal of a fine speci, enemies. art. You first try to find out what | you think the public dislikes, and | then try to arrange matters so that it will appear to dislike you intense- ly. The assumed hospitality m: be obviously theatrical, it may be good | only for purposes of getting an ination or for the early stages of | the campaign; but if it can be “put ove,” it will do. Politicians p supposed to spend most of their | time cultivating useful friendships. | But the shrewder minds among them al have seen the possibilities of gecur- | ing a much more valuable asset in| the form of enmities. They some-| times even plan for a national con- vention in the spirit of ‘the advice which Talleyrand is said to have given to Thie “You wish to rise; make | enemies.” If you can't make them | invent them, The clearest illustration of this} theory just at present is given by the friends of Mr, McAdoo, He comes to seek a nomination for the Presi- dency in the shadow of Wall Street, and causes it triumphantly to be an- nounced that Wall Street is against him, He also glories in the asserted | fact that the railroads are opposed to | him, and that Big Business is plott- ing to bring about his defeat. There is a difference, the unwary reader may not know, between mere business and Big Business. This was explain- | ed by Mr. William Allen White in reporting the proceedings of the | Cleveland convention. It appears | that the Republican Party, which had always been ready to sell itself out to business interests, this time de- livered itself bound and gagged into the hands of Big Business. Instead | of subjecting itself, as heretofore, to scattered manufacturers and cap- tains of industry, it turned itself over this year soul and body into the keeping of Judge Gary and Mr. Morgan, and two or three others who now personify what used to be call- ed abstractly the Money Power. This, of course, is the Big Business of which Mr. McAdoo so eagerly covets the opposition. He thinks he can capitalize it to his own great political profit. One word openly spoken against him by a great lead- er of business in New York would} be, he seems to think, worth 10,000 votes in Oklahoma or Texas. Hence the curious spectacle which the pro- moters of his candidacy present at this time. They go about fairly shouting with glee over the fact their man has suceeded in ,ar- ng against himself some of the largest financial influences in the country. If they ean only be con- victed"of conspiring against him, his success is assured. So runs the argu- ment of the McAdoo boomers. That it is based upon a wholly unwarrant- ed assumption of facts is not sup- posed to interfere at all with its political effectiveness for the pur- poses of the National Convention. The whole thing is painfully labor- ed. There ‘is no evidence that Big Business or small business cares very much one way or the other about Mr. M¢Adoo personally. The policies which he advocates and the sort of political forces which he would let loose if he were the Presi- dential nominee of his party are of much more concern. There is such a thing as a sudden and feigned antagonism to Wall Street, entirely consistent with a perfect willingness | to obtain help from it, Wall Street itself understands this perfectly. If Big Business were to help on Mr. McAdoo's nomination by even appear- ing to combine against him, it would do so in full “expectation that he would be quit@ ready to come to it afterward askihg what it would like him to do. His record is not such as to terrify Big Business for a moment, if it were the unscrupulous and conscienceless thing which his political backers are asserting it to be. The likelihood is that the only fear of Big Business would be that it was not big enough to meet the McAdoo idea of doing business x it. i Around all these claims and coun- ter claims, for or against prospec- tive candidates, there is an air of unreality. No one really believes in the figments which are put about by politicians to serve their temporary ends, It is all very well to gloat for argumentative purposes over a can- didate’s unequalled assets in the mat- ter of enemies. But he will need a few friends, too, before he can be either nominated or elected. And i) that counts, even in poli- confidence, and e rests on character. After all, it is of better augury for a can- didate to show that he is a man widely trusted instead of merely be- ing one who is feared and hated.— New York Times. > Tom Sims - Says S When a stranger promises to let you in on a money-making scheme he means he will take you in and you will bé out. i No wonder babies grow up to re- semble their fathers, All they do is loaf around home and raise a racket.

In addition -to° these six major do- mestic issues, fie convention will be asked to go on record as to a definite international policy which proposes the outlawry of war by alt civilized nations. This would be supported by the entire abolition of profits in the prgduction of war, ma- terials in this country. While La Follette will be the cen- tral figure on whose prestige and power the weight of the independent campaign will rest, the real fight of his followers “will -be concentrated in the, senatorial and congressional elections rather than in winning votes for the ‘top.of,the ticket itself. For it ‘is admitted that upon the election of a substantial . congres- sional bloc, insuring the’ Wisconsin leader ‘a continuing balance ot power in Congress, the real success of the campaign depends. Of course the clain# is made that the fight to, put La: Follette in the White House is a sincere ana honest one. That’ may ‘be con- ceded without affecting the further fact that the real hope and expecta- tion of the La Follette followers 1s the perpetuation of a La Follette-led balance of power in the legislative branch. Of course, should the situation de- velop an avalanche to sweep the in- dependent candidate acros the line ‘as a winner, or even block a ma- jority ‘in the electoral _ college, throwing ‘the election into Congre: either such result would be so mucl clear gain for the independent cause. * ST EEacaanaeeaaieneel FEWER NOTCHES ‘A toyrist in Arizona heard a shot and in a short time ‘came upon'a rough-looking man cutting a notch on the handle of his gun. l “Have you killed a man?” he gasped: ‘ f “No,” was the reply.: “Then ‘why the notch?” “I only cuts ’em®when I misses.” —Tit-Bits.
