The political pot is commencing to
bubble a little as the time for the
county conventions draw nigh, and
many are the conjectures being drawn
by the sidewalk politicians as to the
chances fer election of this or that
particular candidate. There is this
much to be said of Griggs county and
that is that it has been we'll otiicered
and no matter what the politics of the
officials are, every one of them has
given good satisfaction. HoweSer, in
the game of politics that cuts no ice.
Party lines are drawn, conventions
held and each party nominates tick
ct. The best men in-the county are
usually nominated and no real objec-
tion can be made to any one in any
way only on some personal matter that
should cut no figure. Taking it for
granted that what we say is true, why
should the republicans of this county
turn in and elect the fellows on the
other ticket? That is just what has
been done right along. The republi-
can party IS In the majority in this
county and II its candidates are all
right they should get every republican
vote in the county instead Of the az
as has been the custom the past few
years. Let the convention settle the
matter and those of the candidates
who get defeated in that convention
want to throw away that sore feeling,
take off their coats and work like
beavers for the whole ticket and come
up smiling in two years hence. That's
the proper spirit and good politics. In
the great game Of politics this ''oh,
he's good fellow, /" feeling should not
enter into the deal at all. just be-
cause man nominated on the opposi-
tion ticket is popular fellow and has
more faces than a weather-vane is no
good reason why any republican should
scratch their ticket, providing your
own nominee is competent and all
right. United we st and, divided we
fall. Let's get together and remain
together until after the votes are
counted. This paper is republican
Institution, believes in the principles
of that party and will work for the
success Of the ticket, but it wants to
see republicans be republicans.

the fair and celebration. Many visit
ors were welcomed to our tent and
many tired mothers and infants found
it haven of rest from the hard seats
and terrifying:noise Ito the infants) Of
the grand stand.
We are glad to have met these
friends and trust that we are better
known to each other and better un-
derstood by this near contact.
While we meant our ice-water to be
a temporary benefit to the public, we
believe far more in the permanent
benefit and blessing which the litera-
ture distributed will prove If it is but
read and acted upon.
We firmly believe that there can be
mo reformation without information
And our object at present, is to get
the people to read and educate them
selves upon the vital question of
temperance as regards the use and
sale of alcoholic liquors. We are
confident that the truth and facts
upon which it rests are strong enough
to convince the unbelieving and dis
pei the bitterest prejudice against it,
if they are but well and carefully con-
sidered. We gratefully believe in and
acknowledge the ''power Of the press. >
The printed page" weilds an untold
influence upon the people: How inn
portant, then, is its contents. The
fact that the general press Of the
country does not champion this course
of Temperance makes the exceptions to
this rule all the more noteworthy.
While there are many more journals
who do advocate it at the present
time, than ever before, yet it is fact
that it still requires good strong
backbone to do so.
In the meeting of July 10th the
local union by vote expressed its
hearty thanks to the editors Of the
Cooperstown papers in gratuitously
opening their columns to the temper
ance question from week to week and
the kind mention given to our efforts
during the fair and celebration.
Specials thank is due Editor Trub-
shaw for the valiant manner in which
he champions the temperance cause,
and the many kind favors he has
shown the local union in its behalf.

complimented the Courier on its

There is some talk about taking up
collection to buy either tandem OF
an automobile for Yellow Tom, so he
can take his best girl out riding in
proper style, as it is extremely ditfi-
cult for him to keep his arm around
her waist as much as he would like as
it is very hard for him him to steer
his bicycle with only one hand while
thus engaged, and as he is of very
affectionate disposition he don't enjoy
riding any other way. l hope it can
be done as I am sure he would .ap-
preciat it, and I alsoe think he de-
serves it.
Everyother farmer around here now
has thereshing rig. If any grain re-
mains unthreshed this coming fall it

was hauling out manure from the
barn on one of those new style auto
matte wheelbarrows operated with
compressed air, and as he was going
down grade with heavy load, he lost
control of the machine, and in his ex-
citement to stop it he mistook the
throttle for the air brake and opened
her wide open so it went flying over

it ran up against an imported giant

partment of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union of Cooperstown,
nor a1ltided to the fact the union gave
away 500 copies Of the Cooperstown
papers July Sd, 4th and 5th at its own
expense. There are perhaps three pa
pers in the state who openly favor the
cause of temperance, but<the above
mentioned fact gives convincing proof

stands of the liquor power in politics.

the press evidently believes that ''an

worth a pound of explanation" All
honor to the editor of whatever party
or creed who meets this issue with
true manly courage instead of meekly
dodging any positive contact with it.
The editor who openly opposes it is
more honorable than the moral cow
ard who would like to champion it but
does not dare.
The union also gave vote of thanks
to others of our citizens who SO kind.

part we took in the celebration as fol-
lows: Berg & Larson for the donation
of a barrel and bundle of flags.

report which appeared in the Courier
of last week concerning the money
raised. The special collection which
was taken for the "Home" at Fargo
amounted to SlO The receipts of the

amounted to something over $50. This
is the largest amount of money raised

The Republican state convention is
in session at Fargo. The prospects
are that the personnel of the ticket
nominated will be about the same as
two years ago, excepting two or three
places on the ticket. Two congress
men are to be elected this time which
will give North Dakota one more vote
in the national flAnse of representa-
ltiyes. 1t appears to be settled that
Messrs. Marshall and s,Spalding will be
nominated and then There is no Ques-
.tion Of their election. The state could
mot send two ADLER gentlemen.
