Some Of the state papers are
industriously working upa boom
for Andrew n. Laughlin, of Ran
som county, for governor. Let's
see. Isn't Laughlin the present
commissioner of agriculture and
labor for North Dakota? If we
remember correctly, he is, but
nobody would know it from any
work that he has done since he
was elected. We have not heard
of his doing very much in the
way of inducing new settlers to
come to this state since he was
elected, in fact he seems to have
been lost sight of completely.
It has been whispered by some
body-and we cann& recall at
this time who it was-that our
energetic commissioner Of agri-
culture and labor is interested
in a company which has a land
grant in the Vegas Valley,
Southern Nevada, and that he is
putting in his best licks to in
duce new settlers to take up
land in the Vegas Valley. We
don't say that this is true but it
is so rumored and if it is a fact
the people of North Dakota
should sit down on Laughlin
hard. The people are being
taxed and taxed to raise money
to pay state officers and then for
them to turn around and. work
against the interest of the peo-
pie is just rubbing; in it a little
too thick. 1t is time TO call a
halt. We would like to either
have this rumor verified or
denied. Let's hear from the
commissioner of agriculture and
labor.
