Moffet, who claims to be a prohibition
list and a reformer, is a hypocrite. He
cannot consistently support a man like
Breen and be in good faith in his
g~oody-goody. holier-than-thou preach
ing. Breen can make no claim to a
special morality above other men.
VOTE FOR HARE AND READE.
Oscar Ward was a candidate for
sheriff of Burleigh county. Defeated.
He has been a candidate for county
county commissioner. Defeated. He
has twice been a candidate for the leg
islature. Once elected as a republi-
can and at the very next election ran
as a candidate on the populist ticket.
Oscar Ward has been one of the most
earnest workers for office that Bur-
leigh county ever had and has been in
every party, one after the other, back
and forth, in order to try and get
| elected to some office. When the Set
tier and the fusion candidates tell the
voters that they are not chronic Office
seekers they either have short mem
cries or think they can fool the voters
with a bare faced falsehoed. Do you
want Ito elect Oscar Ward to the posi-
tion of treasurer, a man unable to do
of training in the keeping of accounts,
or will you vote for billie Falconer,
the man who has done the work for
years at a subordinate's salary. The
legislature has provided a certain sal
ary shall be paid the county treasurer.
Why not elect a man who can do the
work of the Office himself, someone
who will be responsible for his own
acts and not depend upon a deputy
with more expense to the county. Mr..
Falconer as deputy treasurer has been
accommodating and a good official.
Why should any republican refuse to
vote for him, and why should any re-
publican vote for Oscar Ward, a man
whom the Settler says is not a chronic
Office seeker, but as a matter of fact
has been seeking office on different
party tickets for almost twenty years.
VOTE FOR W. A. FALCoNER FOR
COUNTY TREASURER.
Barney Schwab ran for a county
Office two years ago. He has sought
nomination several times before that.
He wants to be clerk of the court at
the present time. Do the voters Of
Burleigh county for one moment be-
lieve that Barney Schwab is as well
qualified to perform the work of the
Office of clerk of the district court as
is Walter Shelton? We positively
know Mr.. Schwab could not perform
the duties Of the office. He has not
the necessary qualifications as to edu-
cation, as far as the same relates to
the duties of that Office. 1t requires
one familiar with the keeping of books
and records, a good penman and one
who has the training and knowledge
of bookkeeping Walter Shelton, one
of the young farmers of this county,
who farms every year, although com.
PEELED to live in the city in order tc
attend to the duties of his Office, does
the work of the office himself. Bar.
ney Schwab must have a deputy to dc
the work. Do the voters want the
work done by the men who are elected
to the offices, on do they want depu.
ties, who are not responsible to the
people to do it for them? (
VOTE FOR WALTER SHELTON
FOR CLERK OF COURT.
Mr.. Logan, the fusion candidate fo1
sheriff, may not be classed as a chron
ic oficeseeker, but on the other hand
Mr.. Bogue, the republican candidate
is filling a county Office for the frs
time. He has made an efficient an
economical officer, whose bills to tn,
county have been small. He is dc
serving by the right of his sterIin!
re~publicanism and his excellent oficia
record Of every republican vote cas-
in the county. There is no reaso1
why any republican in Burleigh coun
ty should vote for Mr.. Logan rathe
than for Mr.. Bogue, the republica,
candidate for the Office. None ha
been advanced, except that Mr.. Logaa
wants the Office. It has been Away
a rule in every county that one goo
term deserves another. Mr.. Bogne
