4 Strong Endorsement.

Since our last issue the following
strong endorsement of Hon. JAS. Dobie's
worth and character comes unsolicited
from one of Pembina county's foremost
and best known statesmen, Hon. Peter
Cameron, whose acquaintance is nearly
as widespread here in Cavalier as in his
home county. Mr.. Cameron has repre-
sented his constituency in the legislature
besides being honored with d term as
railroad commissioner. These open let
tiers carry with them weight that in no
uncertain manner turns the tables on the
instlgator of the unwarranted attacks on
the characterize Mr.. Dobie, such as APP
peared in the Republican of the 9th inst.
and have since been re-hashed by the
other republican organs of this county,
To the Independents and Democrats of
Cavalier County.
GENTLEMEN:-Ths is to certify that
Senator DCbie, who is the nominee on
your legislative ticket has been resident
of our county for fifteen years and dur
ing that time filled the various positions
of trust imposed upon him by us to our
completete satisfaction and we heartily
commend him to the people of your
county as in every way worthy of trust.
