gated in the Democratic platform.
And the Hon. w. N. Roach for
governor, one of the purest and best
men. God ever made! Nothing is
wanted here to perfect his standing
before the state Nothing is
wanted to establish his superb man
hood, unbounded ability and integ-
rity. He not only stands squarely
on the platform adopted by his
party in convention, but is himself
a platform unto the people of the
state who would see the affairs Of
the new state administered on an
economical and commendable basis.
No need to pick out "lottery'
danger or any other moral question
and ask him how he stands He is
clean-cut and able and stands right
on all questions! No gang has a
milestone around his neck In fact
the gang (per force of Republican
argument) endeavoring to demor-
alize the state from half a dozen
different directions, has no stand
ing here, nothing in common with
him and if the peoble want ability
and integrity at the head of its pub
lie affairs, let them vote for w. n.
Roach,--a man Of education and re-
iinement, and man Gov. Miller
retained as president of the board
of regents of the state university,
Grand Forks.
And there is Frank A. Wilson for
secretary of state, the eminent
Democratic editor Of Pembina
county's leading newspaper, clean
man in every respect. No certili-
Gates are wanted TO locate him on
any question of interest to the peo-
pie. He is enlisted in the peoples
cause and will fight it out on that
line to the end.
And G. E. Mech of Morton
county for auditor {; l. r. Baker of
Burlelgh county for treasurer J.
V. Brooke of Ramsey county for
attorney general Silver Serumg gard
Of Griggs county for insurance
commissioner, and G. A. Harstad Of
Trail county for commissioner Of
agriculture, were selected by the
convention as men eminently quail
fed for the several positions, res
pectively. In fact in the case of
MI. Harstad of Trail county,
Banker Hanson of Wahpeton, ac-
quainted in Trail, says that NIr.
HMstad is one of the very finest
men in the state. Mr.. Hanson
knows him personally and testilies
to his integrity and his ability, and
the banker is a Republican.
Mrs. Laura j i. Eisenhuth of Foster
county for superintendent of public
instruction is a lady Of profound
ability, having been the second time
elected superintendent of schools of
that county. She is competent and
she is eligible and should by all
means be elected
The Democrats pride themselves
on their ticket for railroad commits
sioners. Seth Lowe of jamestown
is Knight of Labor, and one of
the finest appearing men in the
state. His constituents send him
to all the knights Of Labor conven-
tions and he makes strong dele
gate and is a strong man of fine
presence in any position. A. A.
Stevens Of Ransom county and Nels
II. Rinde of Walsh county are each
Farmers Alliance men and farmers,
thoroughly alive on the issues of
the day, and are making the fight IN
the interest of the western farmer
and citizen. And these three noble
men deserve election, as does every
person on the Democratic ticket.
Surely when the Democratic tax
payers and patriotic citizens spend
their good money to meet in conven-
tion and put up such an array of
commendable names, all in the in
terest of the peoples fight, it should
have its weight in substantial and
victorious vote!
