TO THE new VOTERS
Of THE FIFTH DISTRICT
Some natters for Their Consideration in Regard te
Choice of Candidates for Judge.--Old Resi-
dents Remember What New Ones
May Not Have Heard.

May Not II
At the coming election there will
be hundreds of votes cast within the
Fifth Judicial District, by persons
who have never voted before in North
Dakota. There will be a much
greater number cast by voters who
did not participate in the judicial
election Of four years ago. To these
the present judicial contest is bewild-
ering to say the least. While deslr-
ing to vote intelligently, these per-
sons may find their minds perplexed
by the food Of contradictions.
calumnies and wilfully distorted
rumors poured out by a press either
subsidized or specially instituted for
the purpose, or diligently circulated
BY paid canvassers over the district.
To those familiar with the true
situation Of affairs. it is strongly
evident that e. T. Burke, the lepub-
lican judicial nominee should receive
40 strong support as any candidate
upon the ticket. He Is a young man
Of good parts Who for four years has
been States Attorney Of Barnes
county the most populous county in
tho district. By training, practice
and disposition he is well fitted for
tho position to which In the exercise
Of q proper and honorable ambition
he aspires. The only valid reason
that any republican could give lor
voting against him would be that a
candidate Of superior qualifications
OF fitness is offered By the democratic
party.
But in this campaign such is not
the case. S. L. Glaspell, the demo-
cratic nominee is renegade republi-
can-one who after holding the Office
for two terms and after refusal b.
Z convention 0f his own party tc
place his name on its ticket for a
third term, sought and obtained q
nomination from the democrats. II
1t is urged as an objection to Mr..
Burke that he is without judicial
experience it may with equal truth
be said that the service and expert
eDce Of Judge Glaspell upon the
bench has demonstrated beyond all
question his ABSOLUTE unfitness fol
the place. Within two years of bis
lrst election as Judge his Official con.
duct was the subject Of investigation
By the legislature Of the state. The
facts brought out on this investiga.
tion are familiar to those who we're
In the state six years ago and may be
founo in the House Journal for tina,
period Without going at length
into tho testimony produced before
tho legislative committee. it may bt
said that it contains a great deal o.
matter affecting 10 most damaging
way the Official conduct Of Judg.
Glaspell; and that neither then OF a
any time since has any satisfactor,
explanation or denial OF these ser
jous imputations been made or at
tempted.
TO those who know Judge Glaspel
1essonally nothing is moro ridiculous
than his pretenslon to be non.par
