Valley City Times: Judging from Bis
marck telegram in the Fargo Argus, it ap-
pears there is trouble ahead for John Hol-
lembaek, of Bismarck, who aspires for
seat of Judge Francis, against whom
charges have been entered. 1t appears that
Mr.. Hollembaek came to Dakota from Lon
isiana, and there is supposed to be some
hidden reason why he left, which when
made public, will not be easy or pleasant
for John to explain away. Mr.. Hollem-
back was supposed to be a possible candi-
date for the position of United States dis
trict attorney, but tits claimed some one gave
away his past record to the president and
John Garland was appointed, much to the
disgust of HoIlembaek. Possibly this later
war on Hollembaei is part of a scheme to
divide the democrats and tend to retain
Francis, owing to failure OF the democrats
to agree on successor. II, however, there
is any thing in Hollembaee' S past record as
bad as intimated, Judge Francis would be
preferable, whom all will admit is clean
and above official corruption.
