=rthrr with II. J. Turner. it must he
evident to every one that both Cur

of which II. j.. Turner is chairman
and one would think that with the
least show of honesty they would have
recognized the authority of the com
mittrc i'm calling the republican con-
vrmtion and they did and organized
their convention under that call. but
when it came to seating the duly
elected delegates from Stark county
the authority of the committee which
they had recognized all through was
ignored and George Tamhlin, a. G..
McGillivray and Cllls. Wilson. three
very intimate friends. associates aud
political triXters were called in with

ty and upon Il call which they manu-
featured, signed 10y a. Jopp, We're
seated because they could he used as
tools in the hands of the Tuttlc-Coe
crowd to defeat the nomination of Il
Stark county man. Word was sent
from Mandan to Charles Wilson to
get up Il contest and ON down and
they would he seated. They did and
were seated with the Tuttle.Coe out
fit and we appeal to the voters of Stark
county, who know that they We're not
elected by the people nor did they
wen hold Il primary, to condemn such
political rascality 10y voting for ii. l..
Dickinson and +. c. Rice next Tues
day. Show the political .iohbers that
their nnprincipled methods are not
sancti ned by the people. If such
methods are to prevail the republican
party of Stark county will soon go to
p eces.
