A Day With the Statesmen at the Capital Glimpses and Rumors
The capital scene shows prohibitionists pleased by the 59 to 1 house vote against the extreme ban and the senate delaying a costly capital removal amendment. Senator Swanston hails a deaf mute school appropriation at Devils Lake, while parliamentarians clash and banter fills the lobby. A banter tale of Reed’s loaded cigar prank ends with lively spectacle and a beauty contest crown won by Pembina’s Senator.

Getting Excited. Saturday's Daily Report on Campaign Finances
A long, fragmentary theater of politics and public life unfolds in the Saturday Daily notes. It recalls alleged bribery offers, legislative debates on adjournment, and colorful salon talk about candidates, speakers, and the LaMoure Ordway clash. The piece mixes satire with sober reporting of bills, fiercest opposition, and party maneuvering in a provincial capital.
Ordway Accused as LaMoure Attacks Governor in Senate
Senator LaMoure charged ex Governor Ordway with bribery and urged proof as he read from Ordway’s report on Pembina county bonds and county seat siting. He claimed to have evidence of blank commissions and political favoritism, citing Geo L Ordway and a failed insurance record, while President Dickey blocked reading a personal letter from Ordway and a motion to expunge records was debated.
