sponsible position OF County
Commissioner. A County Com
missioner should be man, like
Mr.. Carroll, whois well acquaint-
ed with the needs of the people in
his District. Mr.. Carroll will be
conscientious and painstaking in
his work as Commissioner when
elected; as he undoubtedly will
be by an overwhelming majority.
The above is a copy OF the cir
culars which the re-Organizers
are sending out to the unsus-
pecting voters regarding Leslie
r. Carroll, reorganization can
didate for county commissioner,
one Of the mostimportant Offices
in the county. The following
article published in a arecent issue
OF the Minot Daily Optic, states
the true facts regarding Leslie R.
Carroll, and should be read by
every voter in tie county. The
Optic is the hemouthpiece OF the re-
organizers, then why not believe
their own organ?
Gin the case of thestatevs. Les
lie R. Carroll the supreme court
has handed down a decision, af-
tirming the findings of Judge
Palda OF the Ward county dist
riot court.
Carroll was arrested two years
ago on a warrant sworn out by
Ida Ellison, charging him with
being the father of her illegiti-
mate child, and failing toprovide
for her own or thechild's support.
Shortly after the arrest Of Car
roll the unfortunate girl offered
to settle the case for $3.50 cash.
This Carroll refused to pay, and
the case went to trial with the
result that the defendant was
ordered to pay $1.5O per week
for the support OF the child until
it reached the age OF five, and 50
a week from the time the child
was five years old until it at
tained the age OF fifteen years.
The attorneys for the defendant
appealed the case to the supreme
court, and the findings of the
lower court was affirmed yester-
day. Carroll will now be com

pelled to contribute to the sup
port OF the baby.

PEELED to contribute to the sup
port Of the baby.
The principals to this disagree
able affair are well known young
people OF Donnybrook. Carroll
is d, farmer and coal operator
OF considerable means and
stands high in the social
circles OF Donnybrook. Miss FL
lison is an orphan, aged about
eighteen years. She is bright
and possessed ofunusual beauty.
When she first met Mr.. Carroll
about two years ago-then
charming sixteen-year-old lassie
she was engaged as housekeep-
er for her uncle, whose farm adj
joined that Of Carroll. A warm
friendship sprang up between
them which apparently ripened
into love, and later climaXed in
the girls ruin. At the trial be-
fore Judge Palda the girl stated
that Carroll frequently visited
her at the home Of her uncle and
often assisted her in washing the
dishes in the kitchen after sup
per. Later they found refuge in
the dining room where Carroll
made love to her, and under a
promise ofmarriage succeeded in
seducing her.
After the child was born Miss
Ellison sent for the baby father
and laid before him the fact that
the little one had no clothing
and thatshe, beingin straighten-,
ed financial circumstances, was
unable to procure it. Carroll
gave her $50. Later, upon re-
covering, the mother secured
work in a hotel, and having no
suitable chair or carriage in
which to place the child while
she performed her duties, she
sent for Carroll and persuaded
him to give her $50. 1t was the
evident intention OF Carroll to
humor the girl along until ayear
had elapsed after the birth of
the child, when he would be ex-
empt from prosecution under the
charge. States Attorney John
son was aware of this fact and
hastened the case through the
courts.

Facts About Leslie R. Carroll
The Optic States the True Facts
About the Re-organizer's Candi-
date for County Commissioner.

leslie r. Carroll, Republican
candidate for Commissioner, was
born in Milton, Iowa, in 1876,
where he entered the public
schools, and later gratuaded at
the High School at Wayne, Neb.,
and finished his education with
a two years special course at the
University Of Nebraska. After
this h. was III general business
with his father for a couple of
years, and then spent two years
in the Klondyke. He then re-
turned to Nebraska and engaged
in the shipping business. In Dec
ember, 1900, Mr.. Carroll moved
to Ward county and engaged in
the mining industry, and organ
lied the White Ash coal mine
with his brother which has been
one Of the most successful local
mines in the country.
Mr.. Carroll comes from good
New England stock, his ancestors
having moved to the state Of
Massachusetts ia 1872. His
people have always been repub-
licans from the party's re-organ-
ization in 1856: The subject OF

ises to devote the greater part
Of his time looking after the needs
Of the Second district. The vot-

District need have no fear but
that MIR. Carroll will devote as
much time to one portion OF the
District as to the other. Mr..
Carroll has pledged himself to
travel over the District thorough
ly and acquaint himself with the
needs of the farmers from the
Canadian boundary line to the
most southern point in the Dist
