The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1902-09-25

Next Saturday the republican and
democratic parties will hold their con.
yention to nominate a list Of county
officers. 1t can be taken for granted
right on the start that good men will
be nominated on both tickets and the
only thing left after that is matter
Of politics. There will be no occasion
for mud singing in this campaign and
there will be none so far as this paper
is concerned. The nominees of both
parties are friends of the Courier and
patrons of this office. That we differ
in politics with many is true, and we
shall work for the interest of the re-
publican candidates because we are
In sympathy with that party. We be-
lieve that all good republicans should
leave the convention next Saturday
with a determination to stand to-
gether and work for the whole ticket.
Every candidate cannot be a winner
therefore there will be some disap-
pointments. The sun can't always
shine. Therefor let's abide by de-
cision of a majority and go in and win
. glorious victory for the party on No
vember 4.
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1902-09-25

It would be well for the people Of
Griggs county to take into considera-
tion the fact that on account of the
coal strike which has been on for more
that four months that fuel is going to
be hard to obtain later on and higher
in price, Hard coal cannot be OBJ
tanned at any price and it is doubtful
If any will be received at Cooperstown
this winter. Even If the strike ends
now the prospects for getting hard
coal at least inside of three months
is very poor. We would advise our
people to lay in a supply Of soft coal,
Ignite or wood Immediately because
just as soon as cold weather sets in
there will be a great big rush for fuel
and the dealers will be taxed to their
uttermost to supply the demand. The
Gull River Company and Messrs.
Crane s. Johnson are putting forth
their best efforts to supply their Gus
toners but have been warned that
soft coal and Ignite will be hard
to get later on as the enormous de-.
mand will be greater than the work
ing capacity Of the mines at the pres
ent time. A word to the wise is sufIici
ent.

The friends of Gov. White (they
are not so numerous, though) tremble
every time they hear anything about
the merger. That fake business about
raising the valuation of the railroads
one thousand dollars per mile has
played out and all they now can do is
to yell -hurrah for White! Sentinel.
II, as Bro. Rearick says, that the
raising Of the assessment on the rail
roads IS a fake, itwould not be out Of
place for us to say that the people like
that kind Of fakes. The only time
that the assessment of railroads was
ever lowered in this state was when we
had a democratic governor. We pre-.
sumo that according to the Sentinel g
idea of fakes that this is what the
people approve lowering the rates
of taxation for the railroads.
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1902-09-25

The matter Of giving all the 'spie''
to the faithful Is one Of the meanest
things in politics. The insurance
commissioner has always stopped to
this trick In this state and now the
managers of the state university have
adopted the plan. Mr.. BARTLETT of
COoperstown is one Of the trustees Of
the univerity. We did not believe
that he would sanction such a move
ment-but the evidence is feminist
him.-Sentinel.
All right, il that is the way Bro.
Rearick feels about it when the coun-
ty commissioners meet next January
they can appoint the Courier to do
the county printing and thus relieve
the Sentinel mans feelings. Ever
since the Sentinel has been in exist
ence it has done all the county job
work, ETC., and all the ''pie" that the
board could throw to it has been done.
The Courier is no squealer and be-
lieves this is all right. If we had a
republican board we should expect the
pie, but IL the Sentinel does not be-
lieve in this system we should be very
glad to have the populist board give
us some Of the pie. When Shortridge
and the populist ticket were in power
iu this state, the Courier did not get
smell of 'spie" for two years and we
never kicked or even wrote to the
commissioner of insurance for state.
ment. Better look pleasant, Henry,
and if your resubmission ticket wins
out we shall cheerfully acqueisce and
let you have the pie.

A special telegram to the St. Louis
Globe Democrat says:
Every time the democratic cam
paign managers get their literary pro-
gram fixed and they think no bad
breaks will be made, some ''one-gal-
lus'' enthusiast comes along and kicks
the fat into the fire.
A few weeks ago Congressman POu
of North Carolina appeared on the
scene and declared that the trusts
were going to contribute to the
democratic campaign fund this year,
in order to defeat the consummation
of President Roosevelt's plan for pro-
scouting the trusts. Pou was de.
nounced by the officials Of the demo-
cratic congressional committee for
his 'break," but a few days later it
was stated that the democratic COM
mittee has received some very liberal
donations Of money ''fr0m republican
sources" /" Inquiry developed the fact
that the contributions came through
Lewis Nixon of New York, head Of
the @45, ,OoO, 900 shipbuilding trust. Mr..
Pou was vindicated, but the cam
paign managers did not relish the
publicity connected with the incident.
Contribution from the trusts were
of course, conditioned on the promise
of the democrats to favor the reorgan-
izers and eliminate Bryan as an issue
in the coming contests. Semioflcial
utterances have been given out by the
committee members to the effect that
Bryan stands no show of nomination in
1904, and that the party is making
vigorous, although somewhat quiet,
effort to break away from his leader
ship. These reports have been highly
encouraging to the ''reorganizers.'
This is sort of disheartening to the
democrats who usually go around
roasting the republicans for sustaining
trusts.

has become dry, SO he has swallowed
