Judge Lauder will make his
campaign for reelection on the
ground of a non-partisan cand-
idate, and to hold that high
office aloft from political and
factional fights.-Lisbon Free
Press.
The new Catholic church at
Mantador will he dedicated on

Order of Foresters OH that day
will also initiate new court at
tina t place. Arrangements
have been made to run special
train to Mantador over the

On Tuesday Judge Lauder
was in town meeting old
friends whom he has known for
good many years. We say
friends for the word friends
when used in the right sense
means a great deal. These old
timers say, Eve have known
Lauder for years, before he be-
gan his judgship in this dis
trict: he has been a good Judge
for the district and we hope he
will be elected again-he's a
fine fellow. "-Fairmount News.
John h. Johnson of Sheyenne
was in town Wednesday and
found time to make this office
a short call. John is one of the
bright young men of the coun-
ty. His recognized ability
brought him the nomination
tor clerk of court at the late
democratic convention. The
people of the north regardless
of political affiliation will cast
their vote for him in Novem-
Der and without doubt he will
be elected by an overwhelming
majority.-Walcott Reporter.
Among those attending the
rally at this place, Tuesday
evening, was Grin Albrecht the
democratic candidate for the
office of county auditor. Mr..
Albrecht is we'll known to
most, if not all of our readers
and needs no introduction at
this time. He has been book
keeper in large establish
ment at Hankinson for some
time and those by whom he is
employed certify to his compet-
ency and ability. He is an
obliging young man and will
be as faithful an official as the
county has ever had should he
be elected. Vote for him and
you are voting for honesty and
competency in public matters.
-Abercrombie Herald.
Latest developments in the
judgeship fight appear to be
that Judge Lauder has filed
with the secretary of state ac-
ceptance of the nonpartisan
nomination for district Judge,
giving him by unanious vote
of the Independent and demo-
cratic district judicial conven-
ton for this district. What ef-
feet this acceptance may have
on the contest before the sup
rene court as to the merits of
the republican rival nomin-
alton for the same Office, al
luded to elsewhere in this issue,
we can not state-we do not
know whether that contest is
to be dropped or not, hearing of
which is set for Saturday of
this week. 1t matters little on
what part of the ballot the
name of Judge Lauder appears
his election is assured.-For-
man Independent.
The other day a stenographer
Of Wahpeton was asked to
go to Fox Home, Wilkin coun-
ty, Minnesota, to report a
speech the evening of that day,
the stenographer to take any
party along deemed pleasant.
Two couples, two ladies and
two gentlemen arranged for the
trip-a two seated rig employ
ed. The jolly party reached
the "expansive" prairie, where
it had the misfortune to meet
a load of hay or a narrow turn
pike and were tipped over,
breaking the carriage tongue
and doing other damage. Be
ing obliged to secure another
wagon, the party missed the
speechifying and retu ned
home with the damaged car
riage tied back of the vehicle
