Jim River Valley Newspapers Who
are for Citizen Alfred Dickey for
Governor.
Valley City Farmers Alliance: There
are scores of Dakota men who could
perform the duties of governor with
credit to themselves and satisfaction to
the people of the territory. Valley City
has no man in whose bonnet buzzes the
gubernatorial bee and we do not know
that this state of affairs exist with those
who have been mentioned in connection
with the governorship, yet the Alliance
from its acquaintance with the promi-
nent men of the territory, knows of no
one who would make us a better chief
executive than Hon. Alfred Dlckey OF
jamestown. OF him it has been re-
marked: "He came to the territory
years ago without any federal commits
sion in his pocket and he came here to
make Dakota his home-for himself and
his family He is strong man from
every view A soldier who tramped on
the marches and fought in hard fights
and who is unadorned with any military
distinction other than a Union SOL
dler's." He is broadly cultivated man
in literature, in finances, in splendid
good sense. He is fearless and practical,
tirelessly industrious, and would bring a
wealth of experience. loyalty and trust
worthiness to the office, such as friends
rfe,y
found IN so marked degree in any other
resident of North Dakota,

The Dakota Siftings: Hon. Alfred
Dickey, OF Jamestov n, is being very gen.
orally and favorab]y spoken OF by the
press for governor of Dakota. Mr.. Dick

pacity and possesses rare executive abil-
ity. He has been resident of Dakota
for several years and is thoroughly
acquainted with our political past and
future requirements. Since coming to
Dakota, MIR. Dickey has kept aloof from
politics. devoting his attention entirely
to business matters in which he has been
very successful, and hence is free from
sectional influence or prejudice He
would make a good governor and fill the
gubernatorial char with dignity and
honor.
Sanborn Enterprise: The popularity
with which the candidacy of Alfred
Dlckey of Stntsman, is beng received in
North Dakota is 7i~cct stab at the
chronic Office seekers and political hacks
of the territory. Originating as 1t did.
not with Mr.. Dickey, but with his friends
and acquaintances throughout North
Dakota, it all the more promising for the
people, as al who know the gentleman
feel assured that should President Harri-
son decide to place Mr.. Dickey in the
guberuatoual char OF the territory, Da-
kota will have the cleanest, ablest and
most progressive administration it has
ever had.
