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
Oh the ether.
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 a more efficient and benef-
ella way than she had ever been repre-
sented before. + q AS to Gov.
r. B. Fancher and J. 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 a winner, we see no
reason why Cass, Trail, Grand Forks,
Nelson, Walsh and Steele counties
should be wiped off the map.
Trail County Times: 1t is said that
Congressman Spalding would have
been renominated easily had he taken
a position with either combine, and
might have dictated, in part, the COM
plexion of the ticket, but Cass county
"dawdled' as it did two years ago, and
this time failed to escape by the skin
Of it's 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 Driscoll even to the ex-
tent of 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 W Attorney General
Cowan, also candidate for Judge of the
Scc"n! judicial district. to assume the
generalship of their forces and lead
them on to victory.
Nelson County Observer: 1t is a
good ticket made up of representative
men, capable Of taking care 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 electors, Hon. A. NJ. loft
hagen.
1nkster Tribune: The Red river
valley counties run up against the real
thing-and the real thing was the Mis-
souri, slope.
LaMoure County Chronicle: The
slope formed the nucleus for combina-
ton of over 400 votes which dictated
nominations. Cass county staid out
and thereby the unexpected nomination
OF Marshall in place OF Spalding for
congress is explained quite fully.
Every delegate expected that, what
ever might be the personnel of the
ticket otherwise, Congressman Spald-
ing would be renominated, but onven
ton politics has operated in another
direction. The Chronicle regrets ex-
ceedingly that the magnificent record
of Congressman Spalding has not been
rewarded by a place on the ticket but
Mr.. Marshall is its unqualified second
choice.
Ransom County Gazette: The rec
ord is finally broken-North Dakota
will elect a governor for a second term.
Park River Gazette: The starting
point of all the slates-and there were
many of them-was Inc intense per-
sonal a~ntagonism of Mr.. LaMoure to
MI. Driscoll. In order to make sure
the defeat of Mr.. Driscoll, Mr.. LaMoure
was willing to utilize his remarkable
talent for organization in connection
with any combination of counties that
might be available.
Neche Chronotype: The main feat
ures Of the result which particularly
commend themselves to this section of
the state are the denomination of Gov
