Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-08-23

Four tickets of candidates for state
Office have SO far filed their list of nom
nations with the Secretary of State and
on each a favorite son of Cavalier is
given place, so no cause is left for the
complaint going up from Grand Forks,
Walsh and some other Valley counties
that they are no longer on the map.
Cavalier is a band wagon county this fall
and is certain to land either Lieutenant
Governor, State Treasurer, State Auditor
or Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor. IL looks as if there will be 81
whole lot of split tickets voted up this
way on November 9Th.
On the date of the democratic and
independent joint county convention,
which is to be held in this city Wednes-
day, September l9. it is hoped by the
county committee to arrange for several
of the fusion state ticket nominees to be
here and address the delegates and as
many more as attend. Among those
likely to be here are Max A. Wiper
mann, the candidate for governor, Lieut..
M. A. Hildretb, the candidate for con-
gress and possibly John Carmody, can
didate for attorney gene raj. Definite

Hon G.. A. M. Spencer, the populist
nominee for the judgeship in this dis
trlct came over from Grafton the first of
the week for brief consultation with
the faithful. Bearing the fact in mind
that Walsh county has twojudicial nomi-
nees in plain sight and another playing
possum the Ex-Attorney General 1s un-
derstood to take quite rosy view Of
of the situation up to date. It may have
been mistake, but the aforesaid legal
luminary with bee in his bonnet hap
pened to overlook the DEMOCRAT in his
round of calls while in town. Probably
he knows we prefer to take ours straight.
The south-end of the county promises
to be thoroughly alive with candidates
this fall. Some of them have had their
lightning rods high in the air for years
past and didn't get struck and others
the "itch" has broke out on for the first
time this fall. Amongst the latter might
be mentioned J. II. Mccullough, who is
understood TO be devoting as much time
to politics just now as he was to railroad
ing some time ago. The particular job
that it is said would just about suit
"Mac" ls clerk of the district court.
They say everything comes to him who
waits, but it may require patience of the
grey headed brand in this particular
case.
Loan township stands unitedly, al
most to a man you might say, in naming
Joseph McGauvran, Jr., as their choice
for member Of the house of represen-
tatives from this legislative district this
fall. Althouh the call for Mr.. McG Gauvran's
candidacy comes from republicans and
democrats alike his nomination would in
the natural order of things come from
the hands of the independents and dem
ocrats as at no time has he had any
af6liation with the republicans. The
convention will do we'll to consider the
demand of Mr.. McGauvran's friends in
Loan when they make up the ticket
What they ask is reasonable and better
choice could not be made.

For years past both parties have re-
allied the necessity of giving the western
part of the county due recognition on
their tickets and in the campaign of this
fall the republicans are known to have
slated at least two places on the ticket
to the west. Since early in the spring
they have been grooming Prof. Law Of
the public schools at Hannah, for the
place Of superintendent of schools. He
is understood to have natural political
bent ard will enter the fray without any
great amount OF urglnR-which will only
make it the harder to bear the disap'
poinmsnt that will follow on election day,
