Haugsbe,g's attempt to defeat Judge
Peterson will be a failure. HIS attempt
to turn neighbor against neighbor futile
Ole Holtan is young man and can wait.
Judge Peterson has made an excellent
officer and we'll deserves reelection
No ono can complain that he has ever
neglected the business or du ties OF to
Office.
The following from the Jamestown Capt
ital tc. the voters of stussn,sn county
would dsApply with equal force in our own
McLeln, and should be read and studied
over ~ every intelligent voter {:
"The tickets Of the eoveral political
parties in the State and County are now
before the people for their sutfrages at
the election in November. 1t is more
particularly to the county tickets We pro-
pose now to refer. The masses Of the
respective parties in this county were in
vited to attend the precinct caucu'es and
appoint delegates to represent them III
county conventions. These county con-
ventions, composed of representatives
sent by the caucus, we're delegated author
ity to nominate candidates for the sever'
al county Offices. This they have DONE
There is an, Independent party ticket, q
Republican party ticket, and Democrat
io party ticket, in the field. They repre-
sent in subordinate capacity by geo.
graphical ub-dlvi.ions, tho principles OF
their respective parties, SO that there is
just as rightly and distinctly party Prin-
cipls involved in the county election a.
there is in the State or National elsction.
That being self-evidently true, it is just
rs important for member of the respect
i've parties parties to vote their party
convictions in the county as IN the state
or the nation. It would be sorry church
nember who would claim front scat In
tho amen corner and in his subordinate
positions do that which tends to under
mine the principles of the church society
of which be was member, but he would
be lust 40 consistent as tho man who dc
clares his belief in tho fidelity to rspubli-
can principles and then vote for county
or and any other officers represe nting
Popllist or Democratic principals, or vice
versa, for the Populist or Democrat to
vote fo= the opposing party csndidates'-
Now isn't that right? Following this
proposition to its legitimate conclusion
the Capital in all fairness and consistency
says that if the Republicans are in the
majority in this county the Republican
ticket should be elected. If the populists
are in the majority the populist ticket
should be elected. IT the Democrats are
in the majority the Democratic ticket
ought to be elected. Any other result
would place the people of this county IN a
false political position before the State
and Nation. This Democratic admints-
tration and Congress are nov on trial he.
fore a jury composed of the voters of
this Nation. Every Populist or Demo
cratic victory, county or State, will be
taken 40 an endorsement of the Demo
cratic administration and Congress, for
the Populists and Democrats have been
and are working together to defeat the
Republican party. On the contrary, every
Republican victory, county or State, will
be taken as . condemnation of the Dom
ocratio administration and Congress
which have stagnated business all over
the country and brought upon the people
such condition of depression and dis
tress as this Nation never knew before
Can the Republicans of Stutsman county,
il they arc in the majority as they GER
tainly are, allow this county. by the defeat
of their ticket, to be put upon record by
the ele ction returns as approving nation
al policy that has in two short years
brought about this condition Of things .
Tho capital docs not believe they will"
