the entire county and if the voters ap-
preciate his sterling honesty and rug
ged integrity as fully as they ought, he
will be entrusted with the county
strong box for the next two years.

experience in positions of financial
trust, and has had thorough business
education. His neighbors, who are

CLERK OE COURT.
John E. Truax is the nominee OF the
democratic party of Cavalier county
for this important office. Mr.. Truax
needs no introduction from US. His
name is familiar to every resident of
Cavalier county. He came to Langdon
in 1888, bringing with him ripe know
ledge of the requirements of the office,
and was appointed to his present po-
sition by Judge Mcconnell and reap
pointed by Judge Templeton, upon the
latter's elevation to the bench. When
the time came for the electors of the
county to elect man for this place,
their choice was Mr.. Truax, and he
has held the Office ever since He pos
sesses in a marked degree the qualifi-
cations such an office calls for. There
is not man in the state better versed
in land law and the duties pertaining
to this office. His administration of
the office has been eminently satisfac-
tory to the public, the bench, the bar,
and the litigants. No better nomina-
tion could have been made.
COUNTY AUDITOR.
H. D. ALERT was renOminated for
county auditor, a fitting tribute to a
careful, painstaking, and deserving
official. When Mr.. ALERT first took the
office there was hardly the scratch of a
pen to give him an insight into the
condition of the affairs of the county.
But by months of hard labor and
through sheer force of his own abilities
he has brought the affairs of the Office
to the present systematic condition,
and is we'll deserving of the compli-
ment recently paid him by state Off
cial, upon receipt of some reports,
"that he was the most systematic and
best county auditor in the state" AS
business proposition, a business man
should fill the Office of auditor, and the
people have such a man in H. D..
ALERT.

ent incumbent, is presented for this
important office. To administer upon

fidence of the people. In Mr.. Dorval
there has been named man who has
already proved that he possesses these
requirements, and who has filled the
Office to the satisfaction of his consti
tuency and with credit to himself. Mr.
Dorval was among the first residents
of the county and is very popular
among it's citizens irrespective of party
