entity none of the chronic Office seek
ers in the list of candidates nominated
by the independents and democrats"
Let us see. Take John Yegen. Ye-
gen has been a candidate for register
of deeds on the republican ticket. De-
feated. He was a candidate on the
independent ticket for the legislature
in order to defeat that staunch repub-
lican and able man Gilbert A. Pierce.
Defeated. During the next canvass
Yegen announced himself as a popu-
list and attended the pop state conven-
ton as a delegate but the same year
sought and obtained the nomination
for the legislature on the republican
ticket and was elected as a republican
and as a member of the legislature. for
the bride of a position in the land Office
at Bismarck, although elected as a re-
publican, voted for Roach for u. S.
senator, a democrat. When he could
not get the bride delivered to him
Yegen asked for the position of Indian
agent at Fort Berthold, as his letters
written to Captain York and others
relative to that matter show. When
Yegen did not receive his bride he
again changed to a republican and ran
for mayor. Defeated. Since that
time he has been allied to both parties
whenever he could receive a promise
OF an Office. He is now a candidate
for the state senate on the independ-
ent-democrauic ticket. Do the voters
OF ABurleigh county want such a polit-
ical renegade as Yegen to represent
them in the legislature. Still Moffet
will tell you and the democratic cry
is-none of the candidates on the dem
ocratic ticket are ~oficeseekers, n
are reputable men," Is a man who
would sell his party as Yegen did in
tue legislature for a promise of a pos
ton a reputable man?
VOTE FOR C. B. LITTLE FOR
STATE SENATOR.
Let us consider the candidacy of
Mr.. ~Falkenstein in the same lig41..
MI. Falkenstein has been a candidate
for the office of judge of probate for
several terms consecutively. He has
been endeavoring to obtain that office
since 1894, or Whereabouts. Does that
not look as if his desire to secure office
was chronic? The pops do not expect
to elect Mr.. Falkenstein. He was
put on the ticket so that some others
would vote the balance of that ticket.
The county judge should be an attor-
ney at law. There has never in the
history of Burleigh county for eighteen
years been a county judge who was
not a lawyer. The present county
judge should be reelected. If the
makers Of the democratic ticket desire
in good faith to defeat Mr.. Fort, why
did they not place in the field against
J him a lawyer, one able to fill the Office.
Although Mr.. Falkenstein is chronic
in his desire to have that position,
: even If the Settler says that he is not,
still we believe that the voters of Bur
2 leigh county on election day will
VOTE FOR JOHN F. FORT FOR
: COUNTY JUDGE.
