]. w. Harvey, the republican candi-
date for treasurer, is by natural and ac-
quired attainments we'll worthy of elec.
ton. He will get his home locality prac-
tically solid, which is the best endorse
ment candidate can have. They will
vote for him because they know what
kind of man he is.
To say the least GeorgesMartin is all
respects, educationally, morally and in
ability equal to his opponent for the !
office of superintendent of schools.
Then why should any republican vote
for any other person for that office, and
if all republicans vote for Mr.. Martin he
will have over 500 majority.
Well, Jud is certainly much better than
nothing-isnt he? So don't forget to
say SO with your "X' mark you DEM
ocratic fellow that just KS the head of
the ticket. You won't vote against your
ticket if you mark another x opposite
the name of Judson LaMoure for senator
from this district. He never went. back
on Pembina county yet. So don't go
back on him. He deserves this compli-
ment from every democrat.
Don't make any mistake. There's
politics i'll the state legislature. Dem
ocrats get only the crumbs that fall from
the republican table. If democrat is
elected from either the first or second
districts to the legislature, no matter how
good man he may be. he will get only
crumbs. That is the rule in all legisla-
lures OF every state whether democratic
or republican. If you want Pembina
county to have anything or WELD an in
fiuence at Bismarck this winter, vote for
Chevalier and Watts or for Restemayer
and Thordarson according to your resi-
dence. They are all worthy men-and
three of them have had legislative ex-
perience. None of the democratic cam
didates have such experience, and would
also belong to hopeless minority.
Marshall Jackson of Neche has made
an enviable record as a peace officer
while acting as constable and marshal of
Neche village. He is teetotaler, does
not drink or smoke, and is one of the
most active men we know of. He will
make good record as sheriff. ,ssy.,s, s...a,y
You know ]. D. Wallace. You have
at best but short acquaintance with the
other man. We have heard that Prof.
Beighle is good singer. We don't
think Mr.. Wallace can sing. But as
county judge-we are not looking for
musical qualifications particularly.
We have not said much of anything
about States Attorney Burke succeeding
himself, mostly because it was hardly
worth the discussion. His reelection is
conceded by everyone. He has made a
clean. able, honest record in his office,
and everybody knows him personally to
be one of our brightest and most promis.
ing young lawyers. His opponent is al
nice young fellow, who has considerable
talent for talk, but was too lately school
boy to be thought of as taking charge of|
the legaliinterests of a great county like
this. His nomination will do much 10
bring him before the people and will thus
serve to advertise him in the profession
he has started in, but w. ]. Burke is the
man for states attorney.
Anyone that has had occasion to have
business in the courts or at the clerk oil
courts Office during the last two years
will readily understand why Alex. L.
Airth is SO great favorite with those
who know him. His quiet. gentlemanly
demeanor with an obliging disposition
win him friends with all who have busi-
ness orpersonal relations with him, while |
every attorney knows that the records of|
his Office are kept in strict order and
promptly up to date. Mr. Airth deserves
and will get reelected for the second
term.
]. P. Hicks, who has so satisfactorily
served as commissioner from the 4th |
district, will be almost unanimously re-
elected, notwithstanding his opponent is |
2 very decent man. The constituents Of
Mr.. Hicks will vote for him more than
they will against Mr.. NORM, and Mr..
NORM will SO understand the vote.
The friends Of Mr.. sigfusson who is
now serving as county commissioner
from the SECOND district sincerely regret
his erroneous course at and since the
republican convention that nominated
Mr.. Sigurd Sigurdsson as his successor. |
AT this distance we cannot see into all
the causes but we know that Mr.. Sig
fi,sson was fairly beaten in the repub-
lican convention and that he has since
deserted and IS nova democratic candi-
date, and therefore no longer entitled q
republican S,pport. NJ. Sigurdssop, his
