The Bad Lands cow boy. [volume] (Little Missouri, Dakota [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-1886, 1886-10-21

The candidacy Of supt. Green onsthe3
democratic ticket for the legislature is a
conundrum to every paper in the dis
trict. When a railroad man is running
for Office, the cry is always raised that
the railroad has a job It wants to push
through. In this case, however, 1t would
have been far easier for; the railroad to
have nominated IN outside man on the
Republican ticket and no cry of jobbery
would have been raised. Mr.. Green is
an ardent Democrat and it I looks as
though he has cons sented to be sacrificed
for pure loYe Of party. The break in tile
Republican ranks, owing to the enmity
caused by the Bismarck convention, may
kesome difference on the vote, but
we do not think that even Mr.. Green
thinks he stands any: chance Of election.
He would make an able preventative
but if elected, his railroad position would
badly handicap him in any Legislation
he desired. s -, s:s :,. ~

There is much uncertainty as to the
precinct boundaries and probably will be
until the lines are better known. The
county has been divided by the commis-
sioners into three voting precincts, by
east and west lines Tho northern pre-
cinct is No. /, and at the coming. election
elects a commissioner for one year. 1t
begins on a line running east and west
near the Co.'s horse corral below Lambs
ranch and extends to the orthern boun-
:daryof the county. All voters within
these limits will vote at 1ompkins',
ranch. Precinct No. is the AIedora dis
trict and extends from the south line Of
precinct MOL, to a line running east
and west through point about quar-
ter Of q mile north Of the Logging Camp.
It elects commissioner for two years.
All voters in this precinct will :rote at
the Court House in Medora. Precinct
No. 3 elects commissioner for three
years and includes all the county south
Of precinct No. 2. The polling place is
the home ranch Of the Little Missouri
Horse Co: In the above, concerning the
election OF commissioners for different
terms in the different preeints, it should
not be construed that each precinct nom
mates and elects its own commissioner.
All candidates are nominated and elected
by the county at large, but q commits
sioner must be chosen from each pre-
cinct. The terms Of Office were decided
by lot. s55 3;s.s ;,5S:5

of Stark, with Sims probably as county
seat. The rest Of the plan is to sxtend
the western boundary nf Stark county TO
a line east Of Belfield and incl the
rest Of Willard count in Billings county.
There would seem to- be NO ser ious cause
Of objection to this plan, Sif carried out
as proposed, but we scarcely see the ami.
mus of the plan, unless ii: isS to cnrtail
the. power of Morton county IN any
event, the residents of the counties
should be consulted about the changing
OF their boundary lines and the most
feasible plan would be to- have an exl
preston Of their opinions On It at the
November election. h
