Minneapolis journal: Henry F. Wogay
of Burleigh county, N. D., candidate fo
county judge, has saved voters a good dea
Of trouble by issuing a circular, giving
history of his life in detail from the cradI
up. That is a good idea. The man has
record he is not ashamed of. He is ne
afraid to print it in full. Voters are in
pressed with his eandor, and his enemies
if he has any, will have to upset the so
emn afirmatiOns Of the circular. Possibl
a small photograyure of the candidate O
the circular would add to his strength an

might be appended. The inquisitiye eIet
tor ought to be satisfied with such a doc,
ment.
