THE WINNERS NAMED
Now for a Hot Campaign and
a Winning Finish.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Cavalier County Democrats Hold Their
Convention and Place a Strong Ticket
Before the voters--Favors Equally Dis

tributed-Not Discordant Note Heard.
Monday was convention day for the
democrats of Cavalier county and marked
the beginning of what promises to be a
most successful campaign for the party.
Since the dividing of the county into two
legislative districts the placing in nomi-
nation of full county and legislative
ticket is two day event, necessitates the
holding of three separate conventions
and accordingly takes mp much of the
time of attending delegations at a season
when those from the outlying precincts
are IN the midst of threshing, neverthe-
less, the attendance at the conventions Of
Monday and Tuesday was such as to
amply testify that the interest of the tax
payers in politics of democracy's princi-
Piles is still of the3strength that carries
with it victory from the nominating con-
vention to the polls on November 4th.
The ticket printed below will show
that they most effectively succeeded IN
accomplishing all they set out to do and
in many instances the people know per-
sonal]y, from a previous acquaintance
that the nominees, who are pledged to
subserve the best interests of the tax
payers of Cavalier county are men whose
honesty, integrity and ability are unques
toned. 1t is such a ticket as any party
might be proud to place before the voters
and we predict that it is winner from
top to bottom:

by that OF N. Mcknight, two strong men
from the south and western parts OF the
county. The general consensus OF fopinion
is that the ticket in it's entirity could not
be improved on.
(, The democratic legislative convention
in the Fortieth district was called to
order Tuesday afternoon in the school
hall at Osnabrock. Robt. Laing was the
conventions choice for chairman and P.
H. Livingston as secretary. The ticket
nominated names Hon. G. w. Plain as
the party candidate for the state senate
from the new district and his colleagues
in the lower house are Syver Berger and
Alex. Cameron. Following the nomina.
tions number of five minute talks were
given as to the flattering outlook for de.
mocratic success in this falls campaign.
There was an exceedingly good attendance
with quite sprinkling Of interested re-
publicans on the outside of tho conven-
tion hall.
