A REPRESENTATIVE TICKET.

The Underwood Miner recently said
the republican county ticket a Wash
burn ticket-put up by the WASH
burn gang" whatever that may
mean. Of course the Miner edi-
tor was disappointed because the
Underwood people did not put him on
the delegation to the county conven-
tion-they did not ven have enough
confidence in or respect for him to
trust him with the representation OF
that community. Consequently he
vents his spite and spleen against that
ticket and offers his insults to every
man on the ticket, and to those who
nominated it. Let us analyze the
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 adj
ministrator, whose residence is at
Anamoose-not much Washburn in
that; Ole B. Wing for county auditor,
whose postofice address is Falconer,
and who is in the Wilton district: F.

R~oosEvELT's MISTAKES.

Democratic newspapers are saying
that President Roosevelt can be de-
feated because he has made so many
mistakes. Leslie's Weekly admits
that he has made mistakes and pro-
ceeds to enumerate a few of them:
He ended the coal strike in 1902,
gave work to thousands of miners
and reduced the price Of coal to mil
lions of American people.
He led congress to pass the national
irrigation act. which benefited every
state and territory of the west.
He made a splendid attempt to en-
force the Sherman antitrust act.
He called a halt on England, Italy
and Germany in their projected attack
on Venezuela and made them settle
by arbitration.
He negotiated a treaty with China
and opened ports in the far east to
trade with the United States.
He induced England to abrogate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, made a treaty
with Panama and will soon start work
on a canal that will be American.
And Leslie's adds that the American
people love Roosevelt for some of the
"mistakes he has made"

Nygaard, for register of deeds, has
his home at Turtle Lake; Peter A.

flee at Washburn, but has a home
stead "a miles from the town; H. G.
Olson, for superintendent of public
schools, postoffice at Dogden and
Frank Putt, for county commissioner,
postoffice at Martin.
Here is the list of candidates for
county office with their addresses.
With m exception there is not a man
from Washburn on the ticket. Judge
Lamb lives in Washburn, but has a
homestead in another part of the coun-
ty. Does this look as though any
gang" from Washburn 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 sections
are represented. What is the reason,
then, for this insult to the county con-
vention that named the ticket and the
men who are candidates before the
people?
The voters Of the county are urged
to note the names and addresses of
the candidates. There "a be no bet
ter answer to the Miners 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 country.

PARTY LOYALTY.

The following from the Minot Optic
sets forth clearly the political wisdom
and necessity of loyalty to party in
politics, from county officers on up
through the various offices to those
higher n that Immediately control
the economic policy Of the country.
There is nothing to be gained in re-
fusing to support party nominees.
There are naturally personal differ
ences as to the best mel to be nomi-
mated for Office. Individual and per-
sonal preferences are felt by the
voters but when a ticket is nominated
in convention as the choice of the
party, it deserves and should have the
support Of the voters of that political
faith. There is nothing gained by cut
ting tickets. The individual who is
this year attempted to cut some candi-
date of his party should remember
that another occasion may see him or
some personal friend a candidate, anx-
ious for the undivided support of his
party, just as these who are candi-
dates this year should have the sup
port of their party following. The
Optic says:
What does party loyalty mean in
politics? Is it important that the
party ticket be supported? Can a
man be loyal to his, party and vote
for independent candidates for Office?
What are political parties for? A
house divided against itself cannot
stand. A party is an organization Of
individuals who adhere to certain i'm
portant principles and desire to &C.
complish certain purposes. Only by
thorough organization a anything
worth while be accomplished. The
will Of the majority is recognized and
the final appeal must be made to the
individual voter. The individual vot-
ers determine the results in the pre-.
cincts. A majority of the precincts
constitute the dominant element in
the county convention. A majority Of
the voters Of the counties makes the
majority in the legislative, judicial and

state conventions. A majority Of the
votes Of certain states rule the na-
tional convention, which is the high
est expression Of the will of the
body Of the party. Thus each voting
precinct aids in the determination Of
the policy Of the party. Each voter
has a vote in the determination of
the result in the precinct. In the
precinct the vote Of the president of
the United States counts for no more
than the vote Of the humblest citizen.
The man who votes for an independ-
ent candidate fails to recognize the
Importance of organized effort and
strikes a blow at the only method of
securing legislation and the admins
tration of the laws as desired by the
majority Of the fellow citizens. In
mOnarchies the will of a few individu-
ais Is enforced. In republics the will
Of the majority of the voters is carried
out. The better the organization the
more good can be accomplished. The
republican party of the United States
has succeeded in accomplishing more
than any other political organization
closely united. The primary basis OF
the republican party is the belief in
the union, in concerted action. The
party may not always be right, but it
generally is. There is a time when it
is proper for individual members of
the party to object to certain policies
advocated by the party. That time is
before the caucuses, in the county,
legislative, state and national conven-
tions. Then is when the will of the
majority of the party is formulated,
when the principles of the party are
laid down, when the individuals to
carry out those principles are chosen.
These individuals may not always be
your personal choice. They are
chosen by the majority of the con-
vention and are bound by the will
of the convention, which will is the
expression of the majority of the dele
gates chosen by the majority of the
voters belonging to the party. After
the convention there should be but
one primary consideration, to sup
port the representatives OF the party
chosen to do the will of the party.
After the convention it is the duty
of every member of the party to work
for the success of the party ticket
from top to bottom, to face the enemy
in united effort. The uccess of indi-
viduals means little unless the party
wins. Political parties are simply
organizations to carry out the will OF
the majority of voters who believe in
certain we'll defined principles. Just
as combinations of capital give the
great trusts immense power, combina-
lions of voters determine who shall
look after the duties of the public.

their interests cehtered in Under
wood and immediate vicinity will
want something tangible and plaus.
ible to aid them in determining
that Underwood is the logical point
for the permanent county seat of
Mclean county. Before it comes
to the casting of their vote on this
proposition, there is no doubt but
what the unprejudiced voter will
give the matter his best considera-
ton and that he will cast his vote
for what appeals to him as his best
interests and the future good of
Mclean county as a whole. If it is
accepted as an undisputed fact that
Underwood is the proper andlogical
point for the permanent county
seat of Mclean county at this time
and that changing conditions and
the future will not give us a better,
more central, more accessible and
more desirable point for our county
seat, then you should cast your vote
for Underwood for the county seat.
On the other hand, if the move
to Underwood is accepted as
only of a temporary nature and that
it is possible that in the cours of
the next few years it will be found
desirable to again move the county
seat to a more central point or a
point more accessible from differ
ent parts of the county--made so
by railroad facilities-you should
cast your vote against moving the
county seat to Underwood. This
proposition of moving the county
seat should be made a business
proposition with every voter. You
should vote for your good and for
the future good of Mclean county.
Every voter should take this matter
up with himself and beside for him
self what is the proper stand for
him to take on this county seat
proposition, and cast his vote ac-
cordingly. Certainly it will not be
business for the taxpayers of the
county to move the county seat to
Underwood temporarily only, and
then in the course Of the next five
years make another move. That
certainly would not be business
The move of the county seat to
Underwood would entail an cxpen-
diture Of at least $1O,OOO.W, and
with that amount of money 1t could
not be expected to have anything
but temporary quarters-no better
or more commodious quarters than
afforded is by the present county
buildings at Washburn. Every
voter should make the county seat
proposition a business proposition.
He should look at it with a view of
permanancy. When the county
seat is moved, there should be no
uncertainty about it. The tax
payers cannot afford: to move the
county seat this year and then have
the question of removal come up
again in the course of few years.
1t should be borne in mind that
Mclean county is on the eve IF an
era of great development and that
the next few years will bring about
some great changes, There will be
extensive railroad building; there
will be a great increase in the pop
ulation of the county and many
towns will spring up. These things
should be taken into consideration
and given thought by the voters
when 1t comes to record their YER
dict on the county seat question on
election day.

road levy goes for road purposes and
the bridge levy for bridge purposes.
The bond interests is for the purpose

Indebtedness and the sinking fund Is
for the purpose of retiring the bonds
when due. The Mclean county levy
for general county purposes In Mclean
county is not out of proportion With
other neighboring counties. The fol-
lowing are the levies for county pur'
poses in neighboring counties:

This covers the county levy, and
it must be plain that there Is moth
ing in this for the building Of a court
house. Of course, in some Of the new,
w organized school districts where
the amount of taxable property is
small it is necessarily high; but
then, this money raised for local pur'
poses is not chargeable to money
raised for general county purposes.
