A WORD REGARDING THE REPUB-
LlcAN NOMINEES.
It is not for the information of the
settlers in Burleigh county but for the
benefit of the new corners that the Tri-
bune presents herewith brief biograph-
ical mention of the nominees on the
county republican ticket. The nomi-
nees are we'll known to the older citi-
zens and the fact that they are republi-
cans, squarely and fairly nominated
by representative republican con-
vention, ought to be sufficient guaranty
to republican voters throughout the
county of their fitness for office and of
their being worthy of every republi-
can vote.
The Bismarck Tribune is the oldest
newspaper in Burleigh county-the
oldest newspaper in the whole state of
North Dakota. Its publisher is a re-
publican. The paper advocates at all
times the principles of republicanism.
It believes in republican organizations
and the support of republican nomi-
nees. While it is not always pleased
with every act Of county or state
convention, and prior to and during
such convention it feels at liberty to
express it's opinion on men and means,
it realizes the fact that party policy
and party principles are above men
and nominees, made by the majority,
who are honest and capable ought to
be supported by all good republicans.
It believes that unworthy men in the
party ought to be relegated to the rear
but the fight for party purity must be
made inside the ranks, not outside or
by joining the enemy's lines. No one
man can or does run the republican
organization in this county. All state
ments to this effect are false and
mere chaff in the eyes of the voter.
The republican nominees in this
county are equal to the average.
They are honest and it is believed
they are capable In every way they
are as good as their opponents. Then,
why, pray, should any republican en-.
danger the supremacy of the republi-
can party in this county and state by
voting against it?
Messrs. Little, Stevens and Spang
berg, the republican nominees for the
legislature are men-each one of them
of experience in legislative affairs
They are able, active and know how
to do things. 1t is results the voters
of Bismarck and Burleigh county want
Only republicans from this district
can secure results. The legislature
will be overwhelmingly republican and
only republicans can enter the caucus
that names a United States senator
only republicans will receive commit
tee chairmanships; only republicans
will make up the majorities on the
is Observation-Disclosures the work i!
done. Therefore the folly of voting
fora Independents and democrats
Every such vote is thrown away. A
least the Burleigh county voter should
see the practical feature in this cleo
ton. We are all selfish and inteHi
gent selfshness makes it imperative
that we send Messrs. Little, Stevens
and :Spangberg to the legislature
whether we all like sem personally OF
not. Personalities in politics ought tt
be relegated to the rear.
Hon. w. H. Winchester for district
judge has no opposition which in Itself
indicates the confidence of the people
in the man who has so many years oc
cupfed the bench in this district.
No man ever made better sheriff
than George WEIGH. He has had the
position one term. His record justi
fes another. Columns of praise coult
not emphasize this fact. ...... a..
