excited over publication which ap-
peared in the Fargo Republican OF
"Wednesday. The Republican is the
leading Republican newspaper in the
state and is published at the home of the
Republican candidate for governor, An
drew Ii. Burke, and is considered
throughout the state as the home organ
of MIR. Burke, and as the official Repub-
lican newspaper of North Dakota. The
article in questiO.l reads as follows:
To the Fargo Republican.
Lakota, N. d., Oct "a. 1Sgn.-Mr. Editor:
l am not accustomed to writing for papers,
and may not make myself clear in what /
for the paper and not throw il in the waste
basket. L am much better calculated TO
handle pick than a pen. but there is an
article i'll recent Issue of the Argus which
would give point to the FULLEST pen that was
ever raised i'll behalf of truth ana honesty. /
read the article with Indignation and deter
mined to answer it, if no one IN the stale but
myself can understand what l write. In
writing of the Argus, do not fear to dip my
pen in
The Blacklist Ink
for that paper is known and recognized all
over The BROAD state of North Dakota as the
concentrated quintesSence of all that is I'M
scrupulOuS. unjust and unholy in our poll
tics-and if Edwards had his just reward for
wickedness performed he would himself be
dipped in an overgrown inkpOt and shook up
III a feather bed before he got dry, so that
when he emerged he would have few
feathers sticking in the tail of his judgment
which would enable his creditors TO realize
something out OF him by placing him on the
market as a large and cOrpulent white goose
The article TO which refer was published
In the Argus Monday morning. In it Ed
wards goes out OF his way a long distance to
explain why NJ. n. johnson deserted his own
meeting at Grand Forks last Wednesday
, hi ah wa
addressed by W. w. Erwin. Ot st. Paul.
johnson never was interviewed by the Argus
as to this NEE ing. The letter was written i'll
the office of the Argus-which makes john:
son out conSumate ass, and unless some one
keeps string on him he is constantly drift
ing astray. The facts are too plain to all in
telligent people in this part of the country.
Why is
Johnson Left to Roam
all over Dakota alone? Why don't he &C
company Gov. Miller, Judge Francis and.
Capt. burke OH their respective tours! no.
1t is not SO arranged. johnson is prowling
around the country knitng those who are
associated on the ticket with him. and is in
hearty support with the Al .ianee-Independ-
ent-Prohibition ticket, or that portion that
best suits him. Why does. or whv did he
countenance his name heading the indie
pendent ticket? Are Capt. Burke, George
Harmon, Booker or George Walsh and other
OF our Republican candidates names on the
johnson ticket! Not one of them aud well
johnson knows It, l am, and have always
been. Republican. but am not disposed 10
be nj the number of those who. having ears.
hear not. having eyes. see not those things
which SO nearly concern our political saliva
ton. am not Ill favor of any movement
calculated to give aid and comfort TO The en-
envy, and the fact that johnson is running
around over the stale cutting some of the
nominees OF the REGULAR Republican ticket,
seems to me sufficient reason why he should
be cut Off from the ticket. | am an old time
Republican. and do not believe the ticket of
the party should be scratched or cut. es-
peclally by so prominent q candidate as con-

II johnson and his outfit are going to cut
the regular Republican ticket then the Re-
puhllcans of the state of North Dakota
should know it, and it is the duty of every
Republican newspaper in the state to publish
the facts to their readers
l am willing to take my chances with the
Fargo Republican. l have watched it's course
for long time, and as yet have never seen
where it has done other than support Repu3-
hcan doctrine and honest men in ONCE
Where has the Argus been? REPUBLICAN.
why Such DISCRIMINATORY
The paper referred to above-the
Argus-is Johnson's only newspaper
support. and it is supporting johnson
and the Independent ticket instead of
the straight Republican ticket. Indeed,
next morning after the above letter ap-
peared in the Republican, the Argus
came out and urged voters to vote the
ticket headed by M. N. johnson. 1t
especially emphasized the Injunction
to voters to ''see that your tickets are
headed by M. N. Johnson" and said
not word about the other Republican
candidates. This shows that the policy
of the johnson outtit--as outlined by
their public hOuthpiece-is to get
votes for johnson regardless of the re-
mainder or the ticket. In other words the
Republican candidates, Burke, Bray,
Booker, Walsh, Harmon and others on
the straight Republican ticket are to
be traded off by the Johnson outfit for
Johnson and the Independent ticket
In other words, the American candi.
| dates on the straight Republican ticket
| johnson and his Scandinavian cohorts
| This published protest from one of the
| leading Republicans of the state. as
| published in the "Evening Repub
| lican," is but one of many that are
going up from many staunch American
Republicans all over the state. The
Perfidy of Johnson
I'm running OH the independent ticket
| and working his Scandinavian voters
for that ticket and against the candi
dates on the regular Republican ticket
| is being felt in all quarters of the state
and protests are beginning to come III
from the old Staunch war horses of the
Republican party, who themselves
never voted scratched ticket i'm theil
lives, and it makes them sore to see
their state ticket cut to pieces by sc
prominent Republican as a candidate
for congress. This public call OF 8
prominent Republican. demanding that
johnson be cut off the ticket FOR hi.
perfidy to his party, is but ALI outburs
of popular feeling, and the demand t.
cut Off the traitor is echoed privately
among Republicans all over the state.
