HARRIS AS AFFIDAVIT MAKER.

One thing he excels in, and that is
the making of afidavits-especially
when the assessor is around and he
canavoid payingtaxesto thecounty.
And there is only one thing that
overshadows his ability to swear,
and that is his fear Of the "big
brother" who must have frightened
him into making the bill Of sale, a
copy of which is appended to this
article. Harris had no property to
go on the assessment rolls, but he
had property to dispose Of when it
became more convenient to dispose
Of it than to hold it in his own name.
And the Turtle Lake Wave and the
Robinson Reporter, which r also
included in the bill of sale, but do
not appear on the assessment rolls.
Surely Harris is an artful dodger,
so afraid of the ssessor that he
swears he does not own any prop
erly for taxation, and SO afraid Of
the big brother that he deeds away
three approximation hundred
dollars worth Of stuff according to
the bill of sale.
It is all OH a par with his bust
ness record in Mclean county. For
purposes of assessment the Wash
burn Miner was worth 1920. For
burning out purposes it was worth
$5,OOO-more Of Harris convenient
and far apart atfidavits. No papers
for assessment-three papers for
sale. $3.50 worth of property for
taxation, $1,000 worth Of property
for insurance. Harris is both an
affidavit maker and figure juggler
That the people Of Mclean Co.
may know just how much the big
brother" must have frightened
Harris. we append the following
bill of sale, which shows the milk
in the cocoanut and the hair on
the outside:-

is u SPEECHES..

It is evident that the remnants
Of Democracy in Mclean county
are aware Of the absurdity Of their
"official organ" in presuming so
much ignorance on the part Of the
voters, and have called it off. At
least two long weeks have passed,
and IT has been silent regarding
county politics. 1t is conceded
that all the level-headed Democrats
of the county hope to do, is to per-
feet all organization this year and
thus keep it intact to gain strength
in the future. The move IL a COM
mendable one, and we cannot but
express our sympathy for the gen.
tlemen who have made it, in being
handicapped by the two news
papers which have tried and failed
to receive the recognition they
happen to deem proper at the hands
of the Republican party, and are
quick to detect a chance to wreak
their vengeance upon the leaders
of the Republican party of the
county. To most of us, the pre-
sumptions and assertions Of the
newspapers in question, viz, The
Mclean Co. Miner and the Flicker
tail Flicker, are extremely funny.
but to the future of a Democratic
organization, we have but little
doubts that sanguine Democrats
(who we do not confound with po-
litical sore heads, in which our
county is no exception to various
others in the state) will readily
agree that the draw back is per-
ceptible.

The jury in tie cas- Of the State
VS. Fred Lo.hnrio Harris took about
twenty minutes to decide that he
was guilty, and that on him would
devolve the SUPP ort Of Annie An
derson's illeyili.nate child. Thus
ends one a"t ia tile career Of this
reckless young man, which should
be a warming 10 others. He had a
fair trial. Every opportunity that
could be reasonably asked for, was
given him to present his side Of
the case, and tie testimony was
Irresistible.
It is interesting to glance over
the issues OF the young mans
newspaper in which he told what
he would establish when his case
came up for trial; and to notice
how reckless he then was in his
statements. Hc promised to show
that the girl was in the habit of
keeping late hours with question
able young men. Not a word of
proof of this character was forth
coming. He claimed that "she at
tended dances in the surrounding
towns" with the same class of peo-
pie. The testimony before the court
was absolutely silent on this SUBJ
ject. She 'was in a room alone in
the City Hotel, Underwood, with a
young man." Testimony silent as
the grave on that point. "Several
other instances along the same line
could be cited" No one is forth
coming. Harris stated in his paper
that the girls relatives threatened
lynching. Nothing said about that
in court.
The policy Of Harris in court,
through his attorney, was to ira
duce the character of the unfortu-
nate girl whom he had ruined. It
was a 6'ispicable performance, and
was properly called down by the
attorneys for the state. Speedy
have been the wheels of Justice in
dealing with one of the most das-
tardly adventures that ever came
to Mclean county.

A REPRESENTATIVE TICKET.

Harris, of the U%nderhand Leader
says the Republican county ticket
is a Washburn ticket-put up by
the Washburn "gang," whatever
that may mean. OF course, Harris
is disappointed because the Under
wood people did not put him on
the delegation to the county con-
vention-they did not even have
enough confidence in or respect for
him to trust him with the represen-
tation Of that community. Conse-
quently Harris vents his spite and
spleen against that ticket and offers
his insults to every nan on the
ticket. and to those who nominated
1T. Let us analyze Harris claim
that this is a Washburn ticket and
see what foundation it has!
OF the candidates for county
office, there is Henry Bartz, for
public administrator, whose resi-
dence is at Anamoose-not much
Washburn in that; Ole B. Wing for
county auditor, whose p~ostofice
address is Falconer, and who is in
the Wilton district; F. Irwin Root,
candidate for treasurer, lives at
Denhoff; Ole Gradin, for sheriff,
llyes at Weller; Hans G. Nygaard,
for register of deeds, has his home
at Turtle Lake; Peter A. Schmidt,
for clerk of court, lives at Martin;
w. L. Nuessle, for states attorney,
lives at Goodrich, which has al
ways been his postofice address;
b. A. Lamb, county Judge, has his
office at Washburn, but has a home
stead "a miles from the town; III G.
Olson, for superintendent of pub
lie schools, postoffice at Dogden,
and Frank Putt, for county CON-
missioner, p~ostoffice at Martini
Here is the list Of candidates for
county office with their addresses.
With one exception there is not
a man fromW ashburn on the ticket,
Judge Lamb lives in Washburn,
but has a homestead in another
part Of the county. Does this look
as though any gang from Wash
burn or elsewhere was attempting
to name the ticket?
as a matter Of fact, the ticket is
composed of men from all parts Of
the county. Geographically. all sec
tons are represented. What is the
reason, then, for this insult to the
county convention that named the
ticket anQ the men Who are candl-
dates before the people? Does the
fault lie with the ticket, or with
the sour and disappointed hatred
of Fred Harris?
The voters of the county are
urged to note the names and adj
dresses Of the candidates. There
can be no better answer to Harris
statements than a careful noting Of
the locations of these candidates.
Nothing else is needed to show the
fairness with which the candidates
are distributed through the county.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1904-10-08

Aside from the Democratic or
ganization Of the county, taking fol
granted the familiarity Of our read
ers to the conditions which caused
the Miner and Flickertail to so vic
iously attack the Republican organ
ization and it's leaders, to bear Ut
out in our assertion of their under
estimation of the intelligence Of
the voters Of this county, we wish
to call attention to the wide differ.
ences in the conventions which
placed in nomination the tickets
which will be in the hands Of the
voters this fall.
One was held in the city of Wash.
burn this the Flickertail calls the
:'snap convention'') in which every
voting precinct in the county was
fully represented by delegates, to
which each was entitled according
to the apportionmeut, and who were
elected to the convention by a ma
jority Of the more than 1000 quail
flied electors who participated in
the caucuses held previous in this
large county Of Mclean. There
we're assembled Ill this convention
about seventy delegates, and their
deliberations were witnessed by a
large number of citizens of the
county, and among these were the
editors of the Washburn Leader,
Denhoff Voice, Wilton News and
Goodrich Weekly Citizen. the ed
itor Of the Denhoff Voice partici-
pating in the convention as a dele
gate. Neither the Miner nor the
Flickertail Was represented. Take
notice of this if you have CHANGED
to read anything concerning the
convention in either. Among the
delegates to this convention with
whom we we're familiar, we saw
only men Of good character and
standing in the community where
they reside, and in the whole bunch
we contend that there was not a
man who would be guilty Of the
moral depravity accredited to them
by the reformed" press of the
county.
The. Democratic convention was
called and held in the school house
at Denhotf. We counted eight (8)
delegates. Otto Grethen, of this
place, was one of these and as it
has since developed by the tone of
the Flickertall, he was consulted"
We did not doubt the sincerity of
the rest of the delegates assembled
in this convention, and as many OF
them as we are familiar with are
good fellows, but We could not help
but feel then that those gentlemen
would live to regret their associa.
ton with the individual from Good
rich.
A third convention was held (the
Citizen Was not presently but il
lacked enthusiasm, We infer from
the fact that the Miner, whose ed.
itor is credited by some with hay.
ing been the principal actor in the
move, has deserted a part of the
ticket and ru9sG few of the best
Democratic nominees.
To a man up the tree and who
has been a spectator of the stunts
of comedians Gretchen and Harris
the past few months, we direct the
question, has not the Miner and
