Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-09-13

The band boys could with good reason
look to the campaign clubs OF the two
political parties in this city for sub
stantial aid in reorganization. A presi-
Genital campaign without u brass band,
torch light professions and lots OF fire
| works is unworthy the notice of either
party. The idea is worth thinking over.
The Mckinley club of Hannah, which
according to the Moon, of course-is the
oldest and strongest campaign club in
the county-threatens to take day off
and show the adherents of Pat and Dan
how to enthuse. How many cases of
sour mash would it take to entertain
those Hannah fellers if they came down
anyhow?
| In another column is the card an
nouncing the candidacy Of II. j. Goff for
the office Of county treasurer. UP to
date there appears to be no one else
seeking the nomination and we know of
none SO efficient and popular as our friend
Goff. 1t begins to look as if the present
incumbent will find the Office isn't life
long job with such a strong candidate on
the democratic ticket as H.J. Golf.
| According to the way that McCarthy.
of the Milton Globe, figures it we have
no business running political column
in the DEMOCRAT, especially when SO
much of the matter predicts the discord
and turmoil that always prevails IN the
| republican camp. We don't exactly
know by what mathematical deduction
Charlie bases the possibility of his
getting band wagon boost for his old
party, even in the south end of the
county this year. If the Globe, or any,
one else down that way, "wants yob,"
why in the Sam Hill don't they come
into the party that's got the votes to
elect them.
The local Mckinley club is endeavoring
| the best it knows how to make good
democrats and to that end has decided to
I literally flood it's headquarters at the
Crawford building with buttons, badges
and cheap literature. Nothing will aid
in making democrats quicker than cheap
republican amphlets-preachlng a
cheaper doctrine. Let them distribute
the stuff with a shot gun seeder ii they
want to it will make good democrats.

1t has been we'll known fact since the
first political move was made in the
early spring that the republican party of
Cavalier county, with its goods and
chattles, was assigned over to Jud La
Moure. The deal in which the party
vote was put up as security, was the
securing of Dar McMillan's plum on the
Dams reach and If half what the dis
gruntled republican state press have to
say about his candidacy is true he
couldn't hold it if it fell right into his
mouth. Its all in the way you hold your
mouth Dan old boy.
The populist-end of the republican
party, that two years ago was honored
| CD with nominations for clerk of court,
register of deeds and county auditor
will have to be satisfied with the job of
door keeper this time as the leaders have
given it out cold that s'there amt going
to be any core" Couldn't they see what
kind of a political grave they were
digging for themselves when they grab
counter of the ringsters. Their political
party that "stringed" them nor the one
that they left behind them.

i Heretofore the Cycle of Osnabrock has
had little or nothing to say in regard tc
party or the candidacy of individuals TO,
\ political preferment, In fact, since the
time OF it's establishment-its about Q
two ear.old-it has been noted for one
thing, at least, and that WAS it's non
