Blaine and Logan.

No book Of this campaign year is likely
to be more soaeht after, more read. or
read with greater profit. than Ridpath's
elves Of Blaine and Logan" The work
is more abundant in matter, better writ
ten. and better suited to the wants of the
voter than any rival publication. The
narrative Of the careers Of the Republi.
can standard bearers is told in. 9 way az
graphic as it is enthusiastic, and the ap-
pended statistics, tables of political infor.
nation, sketches Of the presidents, and
notes on the history of parties, are espe-
cially well prepared and valuable. The
matter Of surprise is that go able q book
of such large proportion could have been
10 rapidly passed through the press and
given to the public. The work Is indeed
what the title-page represents It to be-
a complete voters handbook. No citi-
zen should be- without Q copy.

There are those who say, send Mr..
LaMoure to the legislature; he is a
good schemer. But good schemers
are proyerbially poor legislators. Our
Territory has had too many good
schemers in the Legislature heretofore.
That is'what is the matter with many
OF our laws. We are in favor of le;,y.
ing railroad and other monopolies to
supply the lobby with schemers while
the people send trustworthy men that
will resist and oppose them.

A WARMING.


Farmers, do you know that the cleo.
ton of the next member of the legis-
lature from this county occurs ON Sat.
ur,lay, the 9th day of September !
Practically it does. Let me explain.
The county convention to he held at
Bathgatc OIL September 9th, las three
purposes. 1st,-The election of dele.
gates to territorial convention, where
a delegate to congress will be nominal.
ed. 2lM.-The election of delegates to
a district convention, where members
of the legislature will be put in nomi-
nation, and 3rd.-The nomination Of
candidates for the various county
offices. The first of these duties,
though important will awaken less in
terest among the people generally as
we belong to but small portion of Il
large territory. The third duty is
not Of superlative importance. as the
choice of the convention is not neces.
sarily the choice of the people of the
county. But from the action of the
convention upon the matter of our
representation in the legislature there
is practically 10 appeal. The Penn.
bina county convention will send dele.
gates to district convention. made up
Of delegates from Walsh, Ramsey,
Cavilecr and our own county. If the
delegates from this county support a
certain man from Pembina county,
as an act of courtesy to our delegates,
the district convention will place
him in nomination. and he will then
receive the republican vote of the
three outside counties Of the district.
A majority against that man in our
own county would profit nothing.
Now then. farmers, who do you want
nominated, since nomination is all
but equivalent to an election? Who do
you not want nominated, and how will
you accomplish your desire! There is
one way and only one. Attend the
township caucuses OIL the evening of
September 9th, and elect delegates to
the county convention, who are friend.
ly to the man you want whoever he NAV
be, and who will not under any circum.
stances support the man you do not
want to see elected as our representa-.
tive i'll the next legislature. This is
your plan. A stitch in time saves
nine us rule. At this time a stitch
in time will give you a representation
in the legislature. opposed to railroad,
elevator, and other monopolies that
operate directly against the farmer.
The prize is within your reach. What.
ever you do, don't fail to secure it. II
am. yours truly.-A FARMER.
