is one OF the bad features of journalism
the DEMOCRAT hopes soon to break away
from. The partiality shown by the
North Dakota Newspaper Union in this
respect is growing disgusting1y unbear-
able.
~
The board OF county commissioners ls
likely to provide two aspirants for can
dldacy when the party conventions ga
ther again in the fall. Chairman Peter
Reid is named by his fellow republicans
as one OF the strong ones who will be in
the running for place on the county tic
ket, and unless Com'r Gjevre is wrongly
reported the senatorial toga at Bismarck
is considered as the proper raiment for
his statesman like figure. Ole is located
in the Fortieth District and reappears
i'll the political arena after retirement
OF eighr years.
Xxx
| Guesses most certainly go in politics
aud the following county republican slate
as tipped off by q Milton correspondent
to the Fargo Forum may be commented
upon by the expectant readers OF news
political as best suited to their indivi-
dual taste. The Forum prides itself on
it's veracity, and perhaps it knows.
The authorship is left with the present
incumbent, Robert Work and another
term is n C. Macdonald's endorsement
as county superintendent. Sheriff
Plnkerton is to have no opposition in
their convention. The nomination for
county treasurer will be reserved for
Com'r Reid. H. D. Parsons, the con-
vention's choice OF two years ago will
have another try. for the county Judge
ship. Joseph A. Thompson, of Soper,
will be new man in the field and sent
over the track for the register of deeds
sweepstakes. IL. Often, OF Alma, has
been picked out and is expected to make
valient effort to show that the present
popular incumbent OF the clerk OF courts
office is not invincible. This is the slate
to be elected this fall-weather and
democracy permitting.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1902-08-07
The Political a
o Movement.

Two OF the states leading republican
dailIes favor the adoption Of a. primary
election law-so do the people-but it is
the nominees OF the democratic state
ticket who are pledged to support the
measure not the republicans.
*x*
The republican state ticket appears in
extremely abbreviated form in the Fargo
Call. Nothing there 'cept the nominees
for congress. A dozen other papers kick
on the machine-made ticket but lack the
''sand" displayed by the Call.
***
When the nominations were made at
the democratic convention the Cavalier
county delegation held back in Difference
to other sections OF the state where a
place on the ticket would best serve the
interests of the party. The ticket oil
through is a good one-one we can
heartily help to push along.
Xxx
The committee on resolutions at the
Fargo republican convention must have
lost sight of how far apart the state
and national administrations are on the
s'merger" question " hen the plank was
inserted<in their platform thst the con-
vention endorsed them both. This must
have been another OF Jud's jokes.
Xxx
There is only one "Cush'' and that is
Walt F. Cushing, press agent for North
Dakota's anti-merger governor. who
would like second term. "Cush's"
plum is to be a private secretaryship
and if it don't ripen there's still the
North Dakota exhibit at ST. Louis to
fall back on. Its Cush all the time. call
the time"
1t is taken from the card that the
North Dakota Republican campaign COM
mittee will lot mike any arrangements
to secure Gov. Van SAINT. OF Minnesota,
for series Of speeches this fall although
f.s has many friends oyer the state. The
"merger" question is one of the things
North Dakota republicans Fview with
alnrm'-and Jud won't stand for it.
***
One candidate on the state ticket
whose worth and integrity is well
known to all the older voters OF Cava.
lier county is Frank A. Wilson, candi.

Many old friends up her" will hail with
delight the opportunity to cast their

Judge Gave Him Choice Between
Small Fine and Term in Jail

Judge Gave Him Choice Between
Small Fine and Term in Jail.
Fritz Suffer, a young white man,
was sentenced by Judge Barrow in
the Superior Court yesterday to pay
a fine of SIS and costs or serve three
months in the county Jail. Up to
last night the fine and costs, amount
ing in the aggregate to $3.50, had
not been paid and Suffer was still in
Jail.
Suffer pleaded guilty some days
since to an indictment charging him
with the larceny of a shotgun en-
trusted to him by e. e. Wambodt He
had borrowed the gun to go shooting
and then promptly placed it in pawn.
On account of the fact that this was
Suffers first offense his youth and
his promises of better conduct in the
future, the appeal for judicial Glenn
ency made in his behalf was favora-
bly, received by Judge Barrow, and
the very light sentence Suffer received
was imposed. His friends agreed to
make good the amount Suffer had
borrowed from the pawnbroker on the
gun.
The friends were stjll at work yes
terday afternoon in an effort to raise
the amount of the fine and costs, but
had not been entirely successful. 1t
is expected the man will receive his
liberty to-day.

Alexander r. La wton, Jr., son of
Col. A. r. Lawton. narrowly ESCAPED
serious injury in an accident that &C.

precipitatfng it's rider roughly to the
ground.
Very fortunately the lad was not in

ceived injuries that will probably de-
stroy its usefulness for life. The flesh
of the animals right fore leg, above
the knee, was almost completely strip

and three or more above the ewes.
Young Mr.. Lawtop managed to lead
the horse to the city, a. trap being
