Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1902-10-30

AN impudent falsehood has been put
in circulation to the effect that Joseph
Heapy. the democratic nominee for COM
missioner of the second district is not a
candidate for re-election to that office
This report comes from a source that
can readily be traced to the opposition
and should have crushing effect on the
latters candidacy next Tuesday when
the voters OF the Second District deter
mine upon their choice for this Office
Mr.. Heapy is man whose character is
above reproach. who holds the respect
and esteem Of the people for the bust
ness ability and sound judgment he has
displayed during his long and honorable
career as a member of the county board
Voters will do well to show that politics
of such kind as have been brought in
| to play against the reelection of such &
man as Jopeph Heapy for county com
| missioner don't count. Neither should it

For justices of the peace four more
conscientious upright and qualified men
for the position could not have been
selected than the nominees whose names
are to be found on the democratic ticket.

position of county justice is a responsible
one and these candidates are all repre-
sentative men well known in the county.

FROM now on until the polls close next
Tuesday each candidate on the demo
cratic ticket with their friends and sup
porters must put up an aggressive and
vigilant campaign. Get out the whole
vote. Leave no stone unturned to win
over dissatisfied republicans and doubt
full voters of any old party. This has all
been urged as necessary before, but in
view of the fact that many new precincts
have been organized since the election
of two years ago the interests of the party
demand that this portion of the county
be given the closest possible attention
Workers at the polls must hustle and
get the full vote out. If this is done the
election of the entire county and legis
lative ticket is a foregone conclusion.

EVENTS which have TRANSFERRED during
the campaign make it necessary for the
DEMOCRAT to emphatically impress upor
the people of Cavalier county the i'm
portance of rejecting any. of the sensa
tional ISLANDERS as to character or qualiti
cation that may be published rejecting
on any one or more of the democratic
nominees. We leave this matter with
out further comment to the good sense
of the voter. a comment of this nature
would have not been considered as neces
sary at the close of the campaign had il
not been for the wanton and uncalleo

JOSEPH CLEARY. the democratic sena-
torial candidate here in the Eighteenth
District, has shown the greatest gain in
popularity and has been more generally
talked about than any other nominee on
the ticket The people have been quick
to appreciate that he is man of brains
and level headed fellow with the pro-
per amount of stamina and strength OF
character to indicate craftsmanship
Down in Walsh county John L. Cashel
was granted the election without opposi-
ton, because he was credit and an
honor to the county. Attorney Cleary
should very properly have been granted
the same distinction here, and the favor
with which his candidacy is being re.
ceived by the people is an indication that
the voters irrespective of party would
have granted it by large majority
When a man of Joseph Cleary's standing
can be persuaded to accept such posi-
ton there should be no opposition.

ON THE HOME STRETCH.

The political campaign of 1902 is
rapidly drawing to close and in its sup
port of the democratic ticket this paper
has as far as the opposition would allow
conducted a fair and clean espousal of the
party ticket and has not wilfully attacked
or wronged any of the candidates on the
other side. What has been said, that
exception may be taken to. they are them
selves directly or indirectly responsible
for. Especially we would call attention
to the fact that any of our exceptions to
individual candidates had nothing
what ever to do with their private
character, having to do solely with the
political preferment sought at the ap-
preaching election.
This is the last issue of the DEMO-
Graf preceding election day and
we would direct attention to the
fact that in its support of the
democratic ticket an equal fairness has
been shown each and every candidate
of the opposition. Also. it will be found
that the columns Of this last issue are
entirely free from anything in the ma
ture of underhanded unansWerable
attack. What has been said stands un-
withdrawn and so far unanswered, for
: which reason 1t may safely be accepted as
truthful and correct. First is the at
tack on the qualifications OF Mr.. Craw-
ford. our candidate for county superin-
tendent. In this matter we believe the
people have fully settled in their own
minds OF the bascness of the attack and
its utter groundless character. Second.
the grounds; given by this paper why
the voters OF the southwestern portion
of the county should give their vote and
support to Chas. Z. Morton, Jr., as re-
preventative from Eighteenth District,
instead of the republican nominee. a re-
sident and taxpayer Of Ramsey county.
This has repeatedly been dealt with in
previous issues and the silence of the
opposition Of itself would affirm the
statement, were that alone necessary.
Lastly it is to the interest of the voter
not to over look the publicly circulated
falsehood of the withdrawal of Chairman
Joseph Heapy. of the county board,
from his candidacy for reelection. The
lateness with which this campaign lie
was started made it impossible for the
DEMOCRAT to sooner warn it readers of
the falsity of this last statement, circula-
ten for no other purpose than give Mr..
Heapy's opponent chance to get few
votes.
In conclusion, we would say that
the democratic legislative and county
ticket in its entirety is made up of men
who are we'll known throughout the
county and the election of the ticket

MATT. Mcknight, one of the best

ment in his candidacy for member of the

are found all over the district and the
sound judgment he has displayed in his

Germs, and their stocks are a total loss,
which is estimated at $152, GOO, exclu-

evidences of an explosion about the

an explosion. The walls of the rear

of two stories, but the roof of this part
Of the building lies in the middle OF
