No Place Like Nsrth Dakota.


There is no country in the world, says
the Bottineau Courant, that offers the
opportunities for poor men or for those
with moderate means that have energy,
industry and reasonable degree of fru.
gality, to gain competency. that North
Dakota does. Recall to mind the many
that you know who came to this country
only few years ago with practically
nothing that now have nice, well-stocked
farms and are in comfortable circum-
stances. Those who have made failure
whose fault is itf Why shouldn't one
succeed heref Farming and grazing
lands Mo cheap and we use the word
cheap sdvisedly, because they certainly
are cheap when compared with the prices
asked for much inferior, lands in the older
states-the soil is most prolific. and re-
quires no fertilizer whatever to produce
bountiful crops Of almost anything de-
sired. Our farms require no expensive
fencing. Labor aving implements are
cheap and can be used most proftably.
Transportation facilities are excellent.
Public and private elevators are plenti-
full. The necessaries Of life are az cheap
here a. they are in any state. The coun.
try abounds with schools and churches.
With all these advantages In our favor,
why shouldn't the residents Of North Da-
kota be prosperous, and happy as we'll.
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1899-01-20

half of the county was practically solid
for removal, and that the north half was
practically. solid against removal. We also
know that there are nearly three times as
many voters in the south half, including
the Beaver Creek country, as there are in
the north half Of the county. If there
had been lA illegal votes cast, the in
creased total vote would have shown it.
Let us compare the total vote with that
Of 1894. 1t will not answer to compare
the votes ef 1898 and 1898. for the reason
that in '08 there was blizzard blowing
on election day, and as result less than
500 voters went to the polls: In 1894 there
were about the same number of votes cast
than there were last year; and this. too,
with the county.sea struggle of last year
to add additional interest and bring out
fuller vote. If there had been illegal
votes cast on the county seat matter last
November. there would in all reason have
been corresponding increase In the total
vote. And, If those illegal votes were
cast on the county.seat question and not
for state and county officers. the differ
ence would show in the total of votes
returned as being in the two ballot.b
But no such difference is shown, the total
vote for both candidates for some of the
iofaces showing nearly as large vote as
was cast on the county-seat matter. And
lit should also be considered that in some
leases both candidates for certain office
were Intentionally passed by the voter,
and in other cases some candidate was
overlooked in marking the ballot. In
other words, the votes of two or more
candidates for certain Office do not
always. when added together. show the
total vote cast at the election. And vet,
instead of there being lM more votes cast
on the county-seat question than there
we're. cast for all the candidates for a
certain office, there were but seven more
votes than were cast for the two candi-
dates for sheriff or for the two candidates
for county Judge, 82a on county seat and
GIG in each of the other cases.
1t is claimed that there were illegal
votes in thirteen precincts. There could
not have been without the connivance Of
the election oficers--iu some of them.. at
least. 1t could not have been otherwise,
because in our small precincts. where
every ybody knows everybody else. the fact
rs to whether or not a man is entitled to
vote is we'll known. Again, if there were
illegal votes on the county-seat question,
it is to be supposed that there were also
illegalvotes for candidates elected. The
charge reflects on the successful candi-
dates as we'll as on the election officers;
and, in order that every citizen may know
whether such imputations are or are not
true, such officers and inspectors will,
even If the bonds are not put up and the
case does not come to trial. feel much
better satisfied it the court orders the
boxes opened and the county-seat ballots
counted In open court.
