Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1904-03-17
Observation-Disclosures

From Governor Whites home town,
Valley City, comes the word through
the Alliance that only three or four of
the newspapers of the state have de-
clared themselves in favor of re-nomin-
ating Governor White for third term.
When it is considered that there are
upwards of 26O papers in the state
sentiment doesn't seem to be unani-
mously for two more years for Gov.
White.

Over in Towner county the other day
the central committee of the republicans
met and materially simplified the con-
gested state of party politics by decid-
ing to hold one county convention,
which would name their county ticket,
select delegates to the two state con-
| ventions and the legislative and judicial
conventions. There certainly will be
things doing when that convention
meets, and the nominees for county
Office find themselves in for something
like six months of campaign for two
years tenure of office.

j. B. Eaton North Dakota's demo-
cratic national committeeman is credit
ed by the Globe as having been in
Wahpeton the other day, and remarking
that the Hearst boom seems to be max
ing remarkable progress, and that he
seems to be in the lead for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination. Mr..
Eaton thinks the democrats will stand
some show in this state after a while, if
the White administration keeps on
whacking at the school fund, building
toy railroads, buying Roosevelt cabins"
etc.

The voters of the county ticket this
fall will be called upon to elect "Public
Administrator who shall give bond
of $4,000. His compensation comes
only when he has some estates to adj
minister. The only estates that he will
be called on to administer will be those
of persons who die intestate in the
county, without relations; or who die
leaving will and the executor named
is absent or fails to qualify: or persons
who die intestate without any known
heirs, or when persons unknown die or
are found dead within the county. The
office in most counties will not be very
much of snap, for the reason that the
official will have very few estates to
administer. Politicians and others
having the biennial itch for office will
here be given chance to get initiated
by receiving the nomination for "Public
Administrator As paclfying '.filler''
this office is likely to help some in the
making up of states in both parties.

In Ramsey county there is hot con-
test going on right now for supremacy
in politics in a factional war being
waged with Senator Hansbrough on one
side and Judge Cowan on the other.
Senator Hansbrough succeeded two
years ago in securing control of the re-
publican organization of Ramsey county
after hard and bitter fight, Judge
Cowan and Senator Hansbrough are
both good fighters and organizers, and
the fight will be watched with interest.
The registration of voters for the
spring municipal election will open next
