jamestown. The farmers will need good
level headed men who can talk, like Mr..
Mllsted, and would make grieyons mis-
take If it happened but it won't that
he should not be elected.
All good republicans are nc doubt we'll
pleased at the numerous expressions,
heard every day, of an intention to vote
the straight ticket. It is now morally
certai that Mr.. Frye will receive nearly
the full republican vote, which is big
enough to elect when only two candidates
are in the field. The democratic vote
will be divided between Fuller and
Goodrich, in case Goodrich stays in the
field. Mr.. Frye will easily get 200 more
votes than either the republican bolter
who is running himself or the republican
estray whose head has become dizzy at
the peculiar manner that strange,
peculiar fortune has butfeted and turned
him about.
The democrats are naturally indignant
at the suggestion that Billy Goodrich
was just tr1hing with their affections in
regard to this senatorial nomination, and
that he was going to pull out at the last
minute. They vehemently deny it. but
Mr. Goodrich don't. Why should he
have any particular regard for Stutsman
county democrats anyway? They have
sat down upon him in the past, and have
always let him spend most of the money.
Goodrich now has an opportunity of get
ting even. Has anyone heard him say
he as dead stuck to sacrifice himself
for the democracy again? No one would
blame him if he did leave the party with
out candidate for senator at the last
minute.
T. S. Underhill OF Stark county, repuh-
lican candidate for railroad commission
er, called at The Alert office this after
noon and stated that notwithstanding
the attack upon him IN the ''oficial or
gan of the farmers alliance" declaring
him to be an unfit man for the position
which he is seeking, he is a member of
that organization, in full sympathy with
Its benlticent objects. He says the au-
thority for this attack is the Dickinson
Herald, a defeated aspirant for the coun-
ty printing. The Capital, it is said, will
in its next issue retract the SANDER; but
that will be too late to correct the injus-
tice done, as its farmer subscribers will
fore election day.
1t is true enough that personal regard
for Mayor Fuller makes it difficult
task for The Alert to oppose him in this
election, but interests more important
are at stake than those of the individual,
known and liked-as he may be. This
is equally true and is as clearly seen by
many other friends OF Mr.. Fuller through
out the city and county. He is in the
wrong in this campaign. The success
and influence of the republicans of the
county are being endangered by his can
didacy. 1t effects both parties. 1t tends
to make men overlook the better policy
for tie future in the shortsighted one of
the present. The principles CT good re-
publicans, those unwritten pledges they
give to the party at home and through
out the country. are against the methods
of boilers. Not SO much the man in
some cases as his methods. are what are
denounced. Mr.. Fuller's disorsanizing
campaigning is obnoxious to party poll
tics, and will be strongly condemned by
republicans who are really such.
