that city will be the ;home of this
family in the future. Mrs. Wirth
said for THE TIMES to say goodbye
for her to all her friends those
whom she was unable to meet at the
last. Wahpeton looses a good family
in this instance. Joe is still here
closing up his business.
The theme of the sermon at lO.45
Sunday morning, October 26th, will
be "The Church, Her relation to
community and PASTOR" The Sun
day evening talk to young people;
at 7:3O, will he of {" Illustrious
American Women" A cordial well
come to all, and hearty invitation
to those having no regular church
home to abide with us,
j. w. LUKE, Pastor.
j. l.. Smith, candidate for clerk
OF the court on the Republican
ticket, was assessor in his township
this year, and we understand that
the commissioners say his was the
poorest report sent in in the county
this year. The books are said to
show for themselves.
1t is estimated that Judge Wilson
will be elected governor of Mime
sofa by a plurality of 10000. The
Republicans, however, have unloaded
an immense Doodle recently; but let
us hope that it may not turn the
tide. Let the boys take in the
Doodle, it need he, and vote for
Wilson!
The other day II Republican can
didate for the lower house offered a
certain leading German money for
his support in the coming election,
when the German very pointedly
gave the boodler to understand that
he was not for sale! And the
would-be law maker took a sneak {!
And in fact we have heard of a
second similar case.
We understand that John Rug
giles said to two reputable gentle
man that o. j. Wakefield, candidate
for Judge of the county court on the
Republican ticket, is not half as
competent to take charge of axset of
books as Judge Dow would be.
This may mean that Mr.. Ruggles
thinks that Judge Dow should have
been nominated, and it may not.
Mrs. M. II. Morrill, says Mrs.
Laura j. Eisenhuth, the Democratic
nominee for superintendentof pub.
lie instruction, is au old school,
mate of hers from Iowa. And while
Mrs. Morrill, can scarcely under
stand why her school girl friend
should he Democrat, she hopes
that the Democrats of Richladd
county will make ample provision
for the ladies to vote, rs she desires
to vote for Mrs. observation-disclosures
her to lie modest and grand
good woman. This provision must
be made. The commissioners talked
it over and said that each precinct
could provide a ballot box for the
lodies and that their votes would be
properly counted.
The other day we were explaining
to Republican friend from the
north that the Democratic vote was
going, practically, solid for the
straight ticket this year and that
John Ruggles, the bolter, would be
defeated. When the man said {:
"Garred, don't you know that the
Democrats of this county can he
bought up--from the greatest to
the smallest-for dollar - and of
course we promptly answered him
we knew no such thing. There is,
however, a feeling that the Demo-
cratic vote of this county can be
bought. In fact this man had only
a few moments before been talking
with Mr.. Ruggles who assured him
that he (Ruggles) carried the Demo.
cratic vote in his vest pocket--that he
would get three-quarters of them
And the man came away fearful
that if Mr.. Ruggles did not get the
votes one way he would another !!
Hence he made that bitter speech
to us. 1t is hoped that our good
German friends will see to it that
no aspersion whatever shall he cast
upon their good name in this con-
test. TIE TIMES is immensely
pleased that two of the boys have
scorned the temptation and sent the
boodlers to grass. Let us hope that
if there are others who have had $1j
or $25 showed into their hands OIL
into their pocket. that il will be the
means of guaranteeing such vote
and such influence solid against the
