REPUBLICAN K
COMMENTS OF THE STATE PRESS
ON THE RESULT OF THE CON-

MENTION.
Langdon Republican: It's strong
ticket and will meet with the approval
of the people as a whole. While the
Missouri slope was very much in eyi-
dence on the successful bandwagpn,f
still SO far as representation goes they
only got the insurance and agricultural
commissioners between them.
Hillsboro Banner: The personnel
of the ticket is all right with possibly
one or two exceptions but
the distribution of the places is rank.
Attorney General Cowan is credited
with engineering the combination
which finally won out.
Hillsboro Banner: The big "a (Cass)
to the south Of us have something to
ponder over. Numerically they were
about one-twelfth Of the entire con-
y%ention, and this duodecimal should
not try to be the whole thing.
Hillsboro Banner: When sifted
thoroughly the talk that Congressman
Spalding sacrificed his personal inter
ests for the good OF state and party is.
found to be all chaff. Cass wanted
also another good place on the state.
ticket but the 81 delegates hung back;
just a little too long.
Casselton, Reporter: The person
mel of the ticket is not to be particu-
larry deplored--but wise craftsmanship.
seems to nave been laid aside in the
effort to pay off old scores, and the,
get there, policy assisted in the deal
Under Governor Fancher state pros
perity has prevailed and another term
will undoubtedly add to- the advance
ment already made.
Ward County Reporter: The per-
sonnet Of the ticket is good and no
matter who formed the combination
the majority of the names that now
appear thereon would have appeared
on the other.
Drayton Echo: The turning down
Of Congressman Spalding after only
one term in office, simply because he
refused to enter the combine, was a
most ~dastardly political act. Mr..
spalding had begun to make a brilliant
record in congress, and North Dakota
was being represented by him in Wash
ington in amore efficient and benef-
cial way than she had ever been repre-
sented before. AS to Gov.
y. B. Fancher and ]. NJ. Devine, we
have no kick coming. They have
both been tried in state office and found
to be efficient public servants.
Reynolds Enterprise: Although the
republican ticket as made by the state
convention will be awinner, we see no
reason why Cass, Trail, Grand Forks,
Nelson, Walsh and Steele counties
should be wiped off the map.
Trail County Times: It is said that
Congressman Spalding would have
been renominated easily had he taken
q position with either combine, and
might have dictated, in part, the com
plexion OF the ticket, but Cass county
adaWdled" as it did two years ago, and
this time failed to escape by the skin
OF its teeth.
Trail County Times: 1t is safe to
say the Red river valley republicans
never before got SO thorough an eye
opener as they did Wednesday to the
fact that politics cannot be played
without learning and abiding by the
rules Of the game.
Devils Lake Free Press: But this
(the nomination Of a Winship ticket)
was not the program mapped out BY
the Missouri slope and the Wooden
faced chief Of the Pembinas, Judson
LaMoure. The former element re-
fused to submit to the Winship deal
and the latter named gentleman pro-
posed to defeat Drisco1l even to the ex-
tent q placing the republican party Of
this state in jeopardy. LaMoure re-
fused to lead the ~disgraceful fight but
the slope fellows had no difficulty in
inducing our own Attorney General
coWan, also candidate for judge Of the
Second judicial district. to assume the
~generalship OF their forces and lead
them on to victory.
Nelson County Observer: II is q
good ticket made up Of representative
men, capable OF taking a i Of the
affairs Of state for the next two years.
Lakota and Nelson county has been
highly honored by the republicans Of
North Dakota by nominating one Of
our esteemed citizens as one Of the
presidential Residential electors, Hon. A. NJ. loft
hagen.
Inkster Tribune: The Red river
valley counties i up against the real
thing-and the real thing was the Mis-
souri, sloDe.
