The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1890-11-01

If the people want a change in the coun-
ty officials, now is their time to secure it.
J. G. Staley ut Minot: II never asked
the people of Mclean county for anything,
and I never intend to-"
It seems that old Steady charged Weller
township $40, for hauling a teachers desk
from Bismarck-weight of desk so lbs.
Nice old man.
The people of Mclean county want a
in their county officers, and they
will make a clean sweep this fall by elect
ing the candidates for the several Offices
placed in nomination last week.
There seems to be but n object in
view with those who are trying to run the
so-called peoples movement" in this
county, and that is to elect G. T. LANCE for
county auditor.
John G.. Benson, candidate for register
of deeds, is a capable young man, an ex-
cellent penman, and is in every way worthy
the confidence of the people. Let every
voter see that Benson's name is on the
ticket.
Thos. Fitzgerald, who is at present de-
putty sheriff, and a candidate for election
to the principal Office, is an old soldier and
a prominent member of the g. A. R. Vote
the straight ticket.
James johnson, candidate for State SEN
ator, was elected clerk of court for Ward
county last fall by 311 votes against 90
votes for John Lynch, a very popular and
worthy man. Do you think he will not
carry Ward county this fall?
We again caution the people against list
ening to any of the false stories which are
being industriously circulated by Mr.. Sat-
terlund's opponents. There is nothing too
mean for them to indulge in, and those
whom they cannot deceive by lying, they
attempt to whip into their line by threats
or promises of a money consideration.
If Larry Casselman has been selling out
his household stuff with the intention of
leaving Washburn, why does he take such
a deep interest in the election of a mug
wump ticket? 1t is rumored that he ex-
poets to return when he is appointed states
attorney by the present board of commits
sioners.
Minot journal: Rev. T. s. Reishus and
his brother Gunder are over in Mclean
county hunting for game-which by the
way is very scarce in that section. The
people of Mclean county are o blind to
the u~nderhanded work done by the Reishus
faction, and are too good a class of people
to affiliate with men who buy their nomi-
nations. 1t does look bad for a minister
of the gospel to degrade the pulpit by coun-
tenancing such political trickery as has
Nj. Reishus in order to get al Office. God
never called a man to the pulpit and into
politics at the same time. We did 'believe
Mr.. Reishus innocent of the dirty work
done, but as he still attempts to force him
self on to the people we now believe that
he is ofice-crazed and will stop at nothing
to secure his election. We are sorry for
him as his hopes must fall on November
18th.
Minot journal: James Johnson return
ed from Mclean county Tuesday night,
and is delighted with his trip. Jim says
that the county is settled up with a very in
telligent class of people, who are all good
farmers and take pride in their style of
farming. They have good houses and barns
and all are in possession of more or less
stock. This year they raised a fairly good
crop of wheat, and are preparing to SOW a
large acreage next spring. It is a fact that
Mclean is one of the banner counties of
North Dakota, and one of these days, when
the railroad goes through it, land will be
worth a good price. A little more energy
and practical management by the settlers
in this county and we will also be to the
front.
Ward County Reporter: Every republi-
can vote in this district should be cast for
James johnson and John Satterlund, nom
inees for the Legislature. Even if you
don't like a nominee, remember they stand
for the people, especially in this contest,
and that the opposition is in favor of some
body who thus far have done nothing for
the country, but are the stool pigeons of a
gang of malcontents and kickers. There
fore stand by the nominees of the regular
convention. They are the ones who have
your interests at heart.
