Fact. About Mr.. wiu.h,p.

The true facts are that MI. Winship
Is filed with ~overweening ambition to
be a great man, to fill some important
place where he will be looked up to as
a leader. and where he will draw a
salary. That he would like to build
up a party of disgruntled and defeated
soreheads and ill the offices of North
Dakota with prating pharisees of his
own stripe, that he looks upon all men
who oppose him as corrupt and vile,
because Of the very fact of their oppo.
sition to him and his plans, and finally,
Mr.. Winship is a wolf in sleeps cloth
ing, and as such is not entitled to the
support Of the newspaper men of this
state. These are the reasons that The
Times, q paper that is ever ready to
denounce wrong and applaud right, Is
at present opposing George B. Winship
in his desire to foist himself on the
people of this state as their chief
executive.-St. Thomas Times.
