Communication.

EDITOR LEADER.-Th disposition of
the people in this county to let legis-
latiye matters drift and see what turns
up, may be carried too far for the
general good. The precipitate action
of some Of the farmers in holding a
convention before the action of the
Republican party, does not please the
average Republican. 1t seems to have
been unnecessary and unwise since the
farmers could control every Republican
county convention in the legislative
district by very moderate effort. The
majority feel this. Mr.. Ilotfma, the
farmers nominee for the legislature
from this county. endorses it as well as
any one, and has said that if the Re
publican party prefer some other friend
Of the producers in the Legislature. he
will cheerfully submit, and will not
permit his name to 60 before the people.
The men nominated 10y the farmers
have the reputation Of being honest,
good men-every one interested III see
ing sound morals pervade politics. The
result of the general disposition to let
things drift and see what strength the
farmers candidates devClope is that a
scheme is now Oh foot Oh the part of
some to attempt to secure the nomina-
ton by the Republican district conyen-
| ton Of a class of candidates who are
not credit to this district, and whom
the people do not want in the Legis-
! lature.
| 1t is urged that the farmers candi-
dates do not know how to draft laws,
and that they will be outwitted by
railroad lawyers 1t may he so, but
railroad lawyers undertook to run the
Sioux Falls Constitutional convention
last September, and were greatly dis
appointed to find the power had de-
parted from them. 1t Was the farmers
who in that convention secured the
provisions for the protection Of the
people against corporate greed. They
are splendid men to vote right, and If
they can at Bismarck prevent bad
legislation in this great unwieldy Terri
tory the people will fare better than
they generally have. For one Repub-
lican voter | believe cur best course at
this time is without hesitation to in
dorse and support the farmers nomi-
nees, IIoffma, McVey and Westcott,
and that our Republican delegation to
the district convention be so instructed.
We shall then secure good safe men in
the Legislature-men whom the tax
payers can trust JOIN A. OWEN.
