Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-10-25

IF THE ballot law of our state, as in
Ohio, required the parties to adopt
some emblem and print it at the head
of their list of candidates, the crow
would be that accepted by the Repub-
licans if they had any sense of the eter-
nal fitness of things. Having adopted
its dismal croak as their campaign
song the unities would require them to
adopt the bird for their badge.

CENSUS bulletins show that 80 per
cent. of the farmers in North Dakota
own their farms and 81 per cent. are
clear from mortgages, while only s2.99
per cent. of the farmers of Michigan
own their farms and 5O.65 per cent. of
them are clear from mortgages. This
is pretty good showing for North
Dakota.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-10-25

personal friendship he has brought the
bench of North Dakota to loftier
plane than any other member of its
judiciary. When compared with his
opponents Judge Templetons qualifica-
lions are so marked and conceded by
all that there can hardly be question
of his election.
HON. JOHN BURKE,
Our next attorney general comes
from Iowa and was born in 1859. lie
was raised on farm and graduated
from the law department of the state
university in 1885. Removing to North
Dakota he located in Rolette county
in 1888. Two years later he was nomi-
mated by the democrats and elected
member of the house of representatives
and in 1892 again was chosen by his
party and selected to the senate which
position he now fills. At the late DEM
ocratic convention MI. Burke was the
unanimous choice for attorney general
He will receive votes from the ranks of
every political party and from every
voter who desires that the opinions of
North Dakota's attorney general shall
rank with the foremost.
LAURA j. EIsENHUTH,
the only lady superintendent of public
instruction in the United States, will
be reelected. She has won for the
schools of North Dakota the admira-
ton of the nation. She knows the
wants of every department of educa-
ton, and has expended her powerful
executive talent in upbuilding our
schools, to a greater extent than any
superintendent the state has ever had.
Would it be wise for the people to take
this important Office into politics and
throw away votes on young inex-
perienced schoolgirl, when the Office at
present requires an occupant as &C.
quainted as Mrs. Eisenhuth has be-
come and as capable as she has proven
herself to be? No, indeed, Mrs. Eisen-
huth deserves good complimentary
vote, over and above the large major
ity she is sure to receive, as an appre-
citation of her worth as an educator.

HON. F. N. KINTER.

DemOCTdtlC Candidate Tor Governor.
II. NJ. Kinter is native of Pennsyl-
vania and came to Dakota in 1882 and
settled in LaMoure county. In 1885 he
built the LaMoure roller mills and was
appointed postmaster of that city by
Cleveland during his first administra-
ton. In 1890 he was elected to the
state senate and on the 10th day of
July 1898 he was appointed receiver of
Loyd's bank of LaMoure. A year later
Cleveland again honored him by max
ing him receiver of public monies for
the Bismarck land office. At the DEM
ocratic state convention Mr.. Kinter
was the unanimous choice of his party
to fiji! the honorable position of chief
executive of North Dakota and will he
the states next governor. When in
the state senate two years ago he was
central figure and his speeches never
failed to convince. He was a chosen
leader of his party in that body and
good old democracy gained many a
victory-though in the minority-under
his careful management.

Chas. F. Templeton. the democratic

North Dakota was born in Vermont in
1856 and graduated from Dartmouth
college in 1878. He came to Fargo in
1882 and formed a co-partnership with
B. f. Spalding, which continued until
his appointment as attorney general of
the territory by Governor Church in
1887. This position he filled most
creditably until his retirement to as
sumo the position Of district judge to
which he was appointed the following
year by Cleveland. AS Judge he has
gained most enyiable reputation with
all classes. Untrammelled by party or

TWO PER CENT. LAIDLAw.

In THE last campaign of 1892 our
present treasurer, w. A. Laidlaw, an
nounced to the electors of this county
that if elected he would personally at
tend to the duties of the office. Let us
now see how we'll he performed the
pledge he made to people who elected
him. Has Laidlaw eyer fulfilled one
word or pledgep Has he spent even
one week in the Office during the two
years he was elected to fill it? Report
and facts say no-he has not. Now,
let us see what lie has done as treas
urer of the county. His first act was
to accept a position in the Bank of
Langdon, at salary of $1,000 year,
and the Office he promised the people
t. give his personal time to, he hired a
boy at S25.00 a month, and while they
could make use of the boy elsewhere
the Office was closed and in one case
young lady, who was working in Nj.
Kessler's Office at the munifcent salary
of $40 month and pay her own
board out of this large (?) salary, was
deputized for several months to run
this important Office. for which the
county pays the treasurer $1,000 per
year. Let us see further how our
county was worked by this same treas
urer who is again looking for our sup
port. In the commissioners proceed
ings of July II, 1893, the following APP
pears on the records of the meeting,
"Moved and carried that the treasurer
be allowed deputy for the months of
October and November 1893, at a sal
airy of 5000 per month"; Carried.
Laidlaw induced the county commits
sioners to grant this salary, and was
there deputy hired I? No, there
never was, the same help was in the
Office to perform the work Laidlaw was
elected to perform and therefore the
500 from the county was stolen by mis-
representation. If deputy had been
hired and the duties of the Office were
such that a deputy was required, the
voters could not consistently grumble,
but to take the 500 and never hire a
deputy, was too high handed piece of
work for even non-taxpayer to stand.
Does Laidlaw promise to attend to this
office personally if elected. No, he
does not but will hire the cheapest help
he can obtain and draw two salaries
himself, one from the county and one
from the bank where he loans out the
county's money to the taxpayers at from
2 to per cent. a month, and then So
licits your votes for his generosity to-
ward you, taxpayers.

Counterfeiting In Braxton.

News comes from Sutton that

With spurious silver quarters, which
are thought to be the work of a citi-
zen of the county, living in the
neighborhood where most of them
are in circulation. The coins, which
are almost perfect counterfeit Of
the genuine quarters are of the issue
of 1892, and can only be distinguish
ed from the genuine by slight diff
ference in color and weight. The
bad ones are little darker in color
and little lighter in weight than
the genuine. A great many of them
had gotten into circulation in the
county before they were recognized.
Officers will look into the matter,
and it is thought that there will be
little difficulty in ascertaining where
they are made.

Upper MOnOngahela improvement.


1t would be a proper and very pro-
ductive expenditure of money to
make the Monongahela river navi-
gable to Fairmont. The improve
ment is entirely practicable and
should have been made long ago.
A good beginning has been made
and Congress is urged to keep it
moving.
The strong delegation Of West
Virginians consisting of ex Cover
nor Fleming, John W. Mason, o. S.
Mckinney, Samuel jackson and S.
B. Elkins, which went to Washing
ton last week in this behalf met with
very great encouragement. The com
mittee on rivers and harbors was
asked for an appropriation to con-
time the work on Dam No. 10. Mr..
Elkins, who was unable to await
the hearing, received from the chair.
man of the committee the assurance
that the appropriation would be
made.

now they appear in another role,
that of beating the landlord. When

leave Morgantown they gave Mr.
Wallace some money and draft for
$40 on house in Chicago. The
draft was sent on, but returned not
paid, Under our laws this constitu-
ties a misdemeanor. The company was
here week and lived high off the
plenteous spreads at the Wallace
House. Friday Clerk Lantz went at

port. They said they would pay
within very few days. They went

officer is keeping track of their move

wrong that is just let your readers

Logs Lost at Point Marion.

There has been more water in the
Monongahela during the past week
than there had been for the past
year. Since the drouth of last spring
and summer there had not before
been thorough irrigation, a freshet
nor a down pour of rain and snow
continuous for any great period
Through this much of the winter
the ''dry spell'' was not completely
recovered from, but now it has been,
and the river, while not high when
compared to freshets yet fresh in
memory, was at good stage all last
week and is yet running full. Above
US there has been no loss, but at
Point Marion there was considerable.
Down there the lumber plants had
been idle for long time because
there was no material to be gotten
down on account of low water in
Cheat. But last week the freshet
came and took away a portion of the
boom and upwards of 500 logs got
away. There was some other dam
age at other points. The boom at
Point Marion, however. is now full
of logs; more there now than there
have been at any one time for years
past. There were more cut ready to
float, and they came with the swoll-
en- stream last week.

made that their stopping place.

GONE TO MOUNDSvILLE.
A Whole Car Load Of Prisoners Dep0s-
tied in the Penitentiary.

A few mornings ago car load of
people from the southern part of the
state was taken over the Ohio River
Railroad to Moundsville where they
are sentenced to serve terms of from
one to twenty years in the Peniten-
tiary. The majority were from Fay

four years for murder, and Alice
Dicks, who goes up for one year for

The crowd were desperate looking
and all but the women were hand
cuffed to the car seats. OF the four
teen twelve were colored and two
white. The prisoners and guards
numbered 2S and they occupied a
whole car.
George Brown, who has the repu-
tation of being the worst man in that
part Of the state, goes up for twenty
years. He was convicted of shoot
ing woman. The crime was com
United at Quinnimont.
