The only kick that the democrats
can muster against Gov. White is his
attitude on the merger. The Courier
kicked just as hard as the democrats
and is still of the opinion that he
made mistake, however develop
ments have since shown that his atti-
tude resulted in no harm to the people
Of the state and while, as a public
servant he is open to criticism on that
score, he is also entitled to words of
commentator when they are deserved.
Gov. White has made North Dakota
an able, clean executive, and the one
mistake made shoL.d be more than
Offset by his economical administra-
tion. The state during the past two
years has been run in the interest of

will be very 10th to support the resub-
mission and other isaas dished up by
the democrats. The fact that the
democratic candidates were coaxed to
accept a nominations the usual lead
ers could not be induced to accept at
any price-is evidence enough to the
people that it is a forlorn hope. The
only time the democratic bosses won't
accept q place on the ticket is when
they know they have no chance Of
winning.

Without caucus and without a
convention, and still further, without
theiconsent Of any, a small coterie of
so-called pOpulist leaders had the nerve
to 60 to Fargo last week and take part
in a straight democratic convention.
This IS rather peculiar way Of doing
business, and had it been done by re-
publicans, such a howl would have
gone up from these same populists
that you could have heard from one
side of the county to the other. This
is only another case of "without the
consent of the governed" only worked
by the populist leaders themselves.
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1902-08-07

Our Griggs county populist leaders
participated in the democratic state
convention, and as nothing has
been said about fusion, we presume it
can be taken as an indication of the
passing of the populist party, 50 that
hereafter it will be simply republican,
ism with a record Of progress and good
government or democracy with Z rec
ord of poor financial management with
z resubmission milestone hitched onto
the party's neck. Gentle reader,
which flag are you going to march un-
der?
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1902-08-07

We understand that Steele county
has practically decided upon three
members of the legislature uuder the
new apportionment leaving the lone
senator to Griggs county and have
practically decided upon Messrs. Cas-
sell, Stavens and Palfrey as the three
members. The Courier will put in a
big kick on this arrangement and
ventures the prediction that the re-
publican party of Griggs county will
not stand for such a deal. Steele
county had better take the whole
works and be done with it and if they
want anything more just mention it.
1t seems to us that this is displaying
considerable hoggishness. Steele
county is entitled to a little the best
end of the deal which is conceded by
Griggs county, and if they so desire
can have the senator and one repre-
sentative. If they don't want that
they will have to be satisfied with two
members of the lower house. All we
want is fair division and no more
and just because Steele county cast a
few more votes than Griggs is no rea-
son why it should hog it at this time.
The argument was made in the Steele
county convention that Griggs county
had the lieutenant governor. This
office is a state affair and has no more
to do with it than when Steele county
had railroad commissioner. Our
brethren over in Steele county want to
60 little slow and do the right thing.

that the w, G. T. U column in the

1t probably is Bro. Wells, but if You
would soak in a few of the truths set

same, it would not be necessary for
the people of Litchville to have to
hunt for you when you go away from

The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1902-08-07

The democratic party, as usual took
another backward step last Friday
when they incorporated the following
plank into their state platform:
"We condemn the republican party
for its failure to enforce the prohibi-
tiOn law and we recognize the right of
the people to believe they should have
a chance to change the laws of this
state, and we therefore favor the re-
submission of this law to the people
that they may change the present sys-
tenn either by the adoption of state
dispensary system or the Gottenburg
system or local option by townships,
cities or villages. and we favor the
legislation and enactment of laws in
that direction"
The people of North Dakota are
satisfied to let the present conditions
exist and are not in favor of the open
saloon. The prohibitory law is all
right. 1t is the people that are wrong
in the places where the law is not en-
forced. 1t is inforced in Cooperetown
and can be enforced at other points.
The taxpayers of Griggs county should
turn to the court records of the coun-
ty and see the difference in costs since
and before the saloon days. In the
days Of open saloons our jails were
full and drunken men could be seen
lying in our streets and alleys with
poverty stalking abroad in the land.
Today we have empty jails, nothing
for our judge to do practically, and
peace and plenty everywhere. The
people cannot be fooled any more, and
surely those of our old time friends
who deserted republicanism can hard
ly swallow the dose administered by
being swallowed up by the democratic
party and made by the bosses to vote
for resubmission. 1t is about time
they came out of their hypnotic state
and get into line where they belong.
OF the two evils why not chose the
least.
