The Election.
The first state" election has passed
and the result is one highly favorable to
republican principles. The only issue
that cropped out. this first fight, was the
absurdity of minority representation and
we have no doubt that by this time the
average democrats is us sick oft as any
body. In the county while the vote has
been very largely split in both districts
the result is according to the standing of
the parties in last falls vote and gives two
republicans and one democrat in the first
district and two democrats and one re.
publican in the second district. The
result would have been the same as far
as party representation goes without the
minority farce. The delegates elect are
Messrs. Holmes, Richardson and Best in
the first and Messrs Appleton, Mcbride
and Powies in the second district. As a
whole, it will make very respectable
representation for Pembina county at
the convention. 1t will be farmers
delegation rs five out of tho six are
farmers. n majority We think are prol,i-
bitionists, and except Mr.. Mcbride who
has been commissioner of Cavalier
county. none have held political office
out side of their townships.
| NOTES.
Neche gave Norton 81 and Hamilton
reciprocated by giving Holmes 81.
If "the one" who saved Holmes from
a goose egg in Carlisle, will send his
name and address to "Hon. Delegate
IL. l.. Holmes. N. d., "he will receive the
thanks Of that gentleman tied up with q
ball of the best binding Irvine.
! Some farmers in Toilette said nine
miles was too far to 20 and vote. We
don't blame them, toilette should he di.
vided for this and other reasons.
OF the democratic candidates, the
"Best" of the two was elected.
Norton? H., no!
st. Joe is the home of Best. Richard.
son is a total stranger. 1t gave large
democrat majority last fall. With this
record how do you account for the pres.
ent vote OIL delegate? Richardson, 1922
Holmes, 50; Best, II; Norton. 10.
And Drayton vote looks little queerly
too. The split ticket was evidently a
favorite in the Eli Perkins city.
st. Thomas seems to be in state Of
political disintegration. For the first
time i'll her history she gave an outside
candidate majority over one of her owr
citizens. 1t it said that Mr.. Ganssle
hurt himself by entering into the village
election the week previous.
The telephone came in very handy
election night, and the PIONEER EXPIRES,
