Whenever we have asked the ques-
ton Of any of these old time party
hustlers, whether or not republican
ticket put before tho people for their
approval on election day was really and
truly nominated by and through corpor-
alton Influences" the reply invariably
has been, ''that it looked that way"
Ifall these corporation par
asities have to do is to put the corpor.
alton collar upon us at the primaries
aud after that graceful act is completed
we are willing to walk up on election
day and rivet it there-then indeed
does chcanery, bribery, rascality,
treachery and injnsice receive its re.
ward. Ifsuch things should be reward

The Halland Defense Pamphlet.

1t is automatically reported that the
republican state committee is preparing
to circulate 10000 copies Of pamphlet
containing affidavits in defense Of ]. g.
Halland, candidate for superintendent
of public instruction. The pamphlet i
reported to be of the same shape and
style Of type as those recently circulateh
by the w. C. T. U. Of Traill county. lt
is said to contain afidasits Of confidence
on the part Of Mrs. Haltand and ]. H.
Hanson, and affidayits Of denial on the
part of Mrs. Hanson and John q. Hal
land. An address by the republican
state committee making the stale and
mnch used claim that the charges ag-s
ainst Halland are malicious and made
for personal spite.
The affidavit of Pastor Rorvik is also
produced in which lie rendered the.
Scotch verdict that no immortality has
been proved against Halland. The
pamphlet is also said to give the state
w. CT U. convention at Park Rivera
roast for resoluting against Halland,
and makes the same claim made by the
republican committee before that the
resolutions were railroaded through,
and Halland given no chance to defend
himself. This has been replied to by
the ladies in various newspapers of the
state before, and Shown to be without
foundation. The committee also makes
the claim that the w. G. I. u. has been
imposed upon and misled. A lame ex-
cuse is made rs to why the much abused
candidate does not sue for libel.
The pamphlet is ready to be sprung"
on the public. 1t is the last straw TO
which Halland and his friends pin their
hope. The idea has been to hold the
pamphlet until late hour and then
throw it broadcast. giving as little time
as possible for the "airing" that would
follow. 1t is a weak defense and will he
Of more real damage to the cause Of Hal
land than it will do HIM good.

An exchange says: A really good
man, honorable and capable, who has
Leen repeatedly asked to accept public
Office, is unwilling to do so because of
the corruption and trickery in politics.
Such are not of the stuff Of which
heroes and martyrs are made. The
tough element is in clover as long as it
can keep the honest people frightened
out of politics.
The Deyils Lake Inter-Ocean will see
change of editors, Steve Nye retiring
and editor Small, formerly of Casselton,
and later of South Dakota, taking his
place. Nye and Haasbrough disagreed
on policy and the political tactics OF the
senior senator in Ramsey county. 1t is
said that the Inter Ocean owed Nye
when he retired something in the
neighborhood Of 49, 800.
Steele Ozone: For Republican
paper supporting the state ticket. the
Bismarck Review is certainly frank
one. 1t coolly calls the candidate for
Insurance Commissioner gambler,
brands him as black mailer and charges
him with passing checks on Bismar rex

tough talk, and seems to US it calls for

on the independent county ticket are all
exceptionally good men, and not one
of them should be overlooked. Itis for
the interests of the general public that
every, officer, no matter how unimpor.
tant his duties may seem, should be a
man of good judgement, impartial and
reliable. Every officer constitutes a
part of the governmental machinery
and if any one Of them is imperfect it
necessarily impairs the usefulness OF
another to certain degree, hence the
reason why We should select the best.
The Office Of county commissioner is
one of the most important positions
in the county. The board of commis-
sioners constitute the legislature for the
county, and upon their actions depends
much Of the prosperity Of the people.
G.. NJ. Foss, candidate for commissioner
for this, the lst district, is an old settler
and too well known to our people to re-
quire any special encomiums from us.
he is wide-awake, progressive citizen,
successful farmer and business man.
He will make one of the best commits

believe it to be composed of just as good
men from top to bottom as the Republi.

Moreover, the man who debates at all
