EDITOR TRIBUNE: The Supreme Ruler
of creation saw fit in ages that have past
to make man dictator of himself, and alb
solute ruler of his own conscience. To
strengthen such unblemished privilege,
men have given to the world to be
cast owe Gods footetool, their voices
and writings. Such will either be for or
against e~levating the cause which they
represent. Next November will each
legal male resident have the chance to
use, at least, part Of this privilege in this
state. You will have the choice of cast
ing your vote for the first time in. North
Dakota for the nations highest executive
officer. It is true that we are but a hand
full of voters compared with some of our
sister states, but little streams help to
swell the mighty presidential ave
This fall the state of North Dakota will
have the pleasure Of rushing on with the
national train of thought in the choice of
president, and representatives to con
gress and other national officers.
While the clash of the political issue
is heard in the distance, let each repre-
sentative of his own conscience take his
stand along the line and swell the tide
of true affection for the nominees of the
party he represents. For myself, I as
sert the privilege of standing on the way
side with the republican party; standing
firm on it's platform, ignoring all other
political issues for the one that [ have
reasons to know is upright in principles.
It would not be proper at this moment
to give reasons why I think that North
Dakota should cast it's vote for Harrison.
I hope I shall have the pleasure to say
why, before the next election, at which
time I propose to show facts why he
should be voted for by every intelligent
citizen of our state. Facts that cannot
be contradicted by the democrats, mug
wumps, independents, or any other politi-
cal sectarians.
For the present, let us deal with our
own state issue, and those who are
naturally connected with us politically.
On the Sd of this month, representatives
from each county in the state met in
convention at Fargo to nominate the
state officers and representative to con-
gress. 1t may be that there are some
who are disappointed as to choice to fill
the state offices. But with one accord
fall in line and give your aid in behalf of
the nominees, knowing that the ma
jority of delegates at that convention
voiced the sentiment of the voters
the state. Unbind your head, the
wound has healed. Wash your hands in
the waters of true patriotism and work
for the grand republican party of your
| state.
By Geographic dispatches forwarded
over the union, we we're informed that
the Honorable Andrew Burke, now
governor of North Dakota was nomi-
mated to succeed himself, and to head
the state republican ticket. AS it was
nce claimed for Alexander the Great,
"A better choice could not be made"
The same can be said Of the choice of
the delegates to the last state conven-
ton. Governor Burke is a true republic
can, he has always worked for the in
terest of North Dakota when a citizen
and an officer. His record when an
officer in his former county in this state
justifes the statement, and his I'M
daunted zeal in standing firm by the re-
publican party in hispresent capacity cor
roborates the fact; he can not be bribed by
any, nor will he sanction any principle
leading to mugwumpism; he is for the
party with principle as his guide, and
IT, Q rod of patriotism as his staff.
G. M. Dahl was the choice for secre-
tary of state. The gentleman has been
with us for years-as a citizen and
a deputy state officer. We appreciate
his worth, we know that the gentleman
is a true republican from the depths of
his heart, and one Of those who will
fight and is not afraid to stand the storm
of slurs cast at his party, without q word
of resentment. Such a man is appre-
ciated by all for his worth as an officer
and a citizen.
P. H. Rourke was the choice as attor-
ney general for the state. Most of ua
are personally acquainted with the
gentleman; some of us have had the
pleasure of being his colleague in his
county campaign fights; we have had the
pleasure of visiting him at his home.
What I may have to say in behalf of the
honorable gentleman can be vouched for
by his enemies as we'll as friends. To
state that he is a hot republican would
be putting 1t in a mild form. Words can
not be found to express his zeal for the
party. In public he will sit for hours
waxing warm with eloquence while
speaking of the republican party and
! ita nrincinles-at home Won can often
