The ticket has been named with
to the close counties mentioned above.
Walsh county which went fusion In
1895 by not quite 100 margin, has q
place on the ticket for her most prom
inent citizen, D. ". Drisooli, candi.
date for treasurer. Pembina county
went pop in 1885 BY 100 or less, and
has on the ticket this year her most
popular citizen, Judge N. G. Young,
candidate for. the supreme bench.
Nelson county Is the home OF M. N.
johnson, and went republican By 10
Votes In 1896. It will widen the margin
this year because OF the candidacy Of
johnson for the United States senate
and the necessity that he carry LID
home legislative ticket. Barnes county,
very close two years ago, has q candi
date for railroad commissioner now
Sargent county. also close, has a place
on the ticket for her popular son, "A
N. Carbon. Tom Marshall, candi
date for the United States senate, lives
In Dickey county, and will make II
safely republican this year. Some ides
may be gained from what I, have Jus
said OF the care that was taken In dis
tributing the nominees aud Of the re-
suits that are likely to follow.
The weak men on the ticket are ]
g. Halland, superintendent OF publ,
instruction, and B. F. Spalding, can
didate for cOngrOss. Halland's case
discussed in q previous report
|ISpalding will be somewhat weake
than the rest Of the ticket because b,
will have to discuss national affair
almost exclusively, and because hi
temperament Is not one calculated Ii
attract and hold people. He ID rathe
repellant than otherwise, and while
Imam Of acknowledged ability, has n,
strong personal following, even ii
Fargo, his home. But he will b
elected and will be a creditable repre-
, sentative In congress-. For the pas
half dozen campaigns he has writtei
the North Dakota state platform.
} For two campaigns he was chairma,
OF the state committee. He is as cor
. sistent q sound money man as John
son aud one of the abtest attorneys Il
the state.
] A word as to the issues. As in Mir
nesota, the fusionists want to esche,
