The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1904-10-22

Last week the statement was
made in the LEADER that there is
not one man in ten in the state
who can tell who the democratic
nominee for governor is without
looking it up. This statement was
verified Tuesday morning when a
gentleman from Wilton dropped
into the office and wanted to find
out who the democratic nominee
was, and stated that he had seen
the article in question, but could
hardly believe it. We had to con-
TESS that we did not know, and be-
gan a search Of our exchanges. and
as luck would have it, we found a
democratic paper that carried the
compile democratic ticket-the
Williston Graphic. The gentle
man stated that the article must be
correct as he had asked several of
II citizens the question and even
a democrat was approached on the
subject and he said that he did not
know.

We have pretty good information
that considerable railroad building will
occur i'll this county next year. The
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
vii make important additions to their
mileage next year. The Northern Pacif.
is considering the building of a line
from Dawson up to the valley to Nc
Cluskey. The Northern Pacific will also
soon extend from Denhoff to the Mis-
souri, river. The Great Northern is
planning all extension from Minot
through Mclean county, down through,
Bismarck to Kansas City. The 500 has
also important plans for railroad build
ing another year. Some considerable
changes will be made in the north and
east ends of the county before many
years.

WHY?

If Theodore Roosevelt is not con
sidered safe by the commercial and
financial interests of the country why
have stocks continued to rise during
the past thirty days even in the midst
of a presidential campaign when sus-
pension and doubt have heretofore
been the rule?
Why did Oregon in June roll up such
a splendid majority for the republican
candidates?
Why did Vermont III September 6
give her candidates such a rousing
majority?
Why did Arkansas on the proceeding
day show a large democratic falling
off?
Why did Maine on September ~
maintain the great majority Of 1900
and give a republican majority Of
| several thousands in excess Of the
average republican September MAORI
| ties since 1884?
why ~ Cu0 OOIIAA6 LWO W OA0 uPoA
Roosevelt and Fairbanks without any
| takers of the short end?.
Why are the democratic papers
without exception pounding the demo-
traffic management of the campaign
and calling upon the candidate himself
to come to the rescue?
Can there be but one answer to all
these Indications, and they point
only in one direction as to what will
be the result on November 8? The
| fact of the matter is that the financial
and commercial interests Of the coun-
try, the agricultural interests Of the
country, the transportation interests
of the country, the mining and forest
interests of the country, and, most of
all, the laboring interests Of the coun-
try, want a continuation of our present
administration; they want John Hay
retained as secretary Of state; they
want the Dingley law to be continued
without any tinkering whatever, and
they want to feel safe against the
aggression of foreign competition OF
any nature, or Of foreign arms, by
placing Theodore Roosevelt again at
the head Of the nations affairs for
another four years.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1904-10-22

In looking over one Of our ex-
changes the other day we noticed
an account of the life of an Ohio
character and those who used to
be residents of that state will re-
member, j. N. Free. or as hecalled
himself, the Immortal j. n. He was
at one time a prominent man in
that state before business troubles
caused him to lose his mind. he
was harmless man and we can we'll
remember when a boy how he would
take us upon his knee and tell us
about lifting the veil and assuming
the. pressure. This was his hobby
as he believed that every body was
under a veil and he gave lectures
on that subjest. He was of COM
handing presence, being about six
teet tall and as straight as an arrow
and wore his hair hanging down
his back. His lectures consisted
of story telling, and the fact that
j. N. was to lecture always drew a
crowd. He was known to nearly
all the older residents of the state
and the article in question refers
to him as "a dead beat" We new
er knew him to pay bill, and in
fact very few ever asked him for a
cent. j, N. felt that in his way he
was doing a great work for the
people of the state, and he was a
hard worker and a great student
along the lines of his hobby, The
article said that j. N. was one his
death bed in one of the Toledo
hospitals. His was a troubled life
and Is a boy we used to look and
wait for his annual visits to our
section of the state with a great
deal of interest as he always had q
new stock of stories to tell while
sitting around the old log fire. May
hesrest in peace.

We notice that Editor Wood of
Steele lost % acres of barley last
week while threshing. The grain
was in stack and the machine had
just started up and a spark from
the engine set the stacks on fire.
An effort was made to get out the
separator and the engineer was
badly burned in the attempt to
rave the separator. Bro. Wood is
having all kinds Of bad luck in his
farming operations.

insinuated. Had it been that the
Naughty Gang of Washburn" consid-
cred Harris such a formidable enemy to
their schemes" and being vested with
such omnipotent power as Harris gives
them credit, we infer hat it would have
been just as easy to have him doing
ten or more years in the state peniten-
tiary. The case as it was brought is
only in reality a miserably poor resti-
tuition to the outraged parents of the
young girl i'll the case, and instead of
rejecting any discredit upon the per-
sonal or political enemies of Harris we
believe that there are few who will
but commend them for their very ap-
parent vindication of not having been
instrumental in Harris prosecution.
TO the voters of eastern Mclean
county the question of dividing the
county is of most Importance, and while
there seems to be nj organized opposi-
ton to the project at this time, it would
be well for every voter who is inter
ested i'll division to get out and cast
his ballot and see that his neighbor also
does the same. 1t will be we'll not to
confuse the question with that of county
scat removal. No matter what the
prospects arc fer division at this time
the Citizen recommends that the county
scat be left al its present location until
Mclean county is fully divided. and
then let the people of that part OF tn.
county decide where they will have the
seat of their county government. 1t
would be extremely foolish for the cast
end to vote removal and then have to
share i'll the expenses attendant to re-
inoval i'll case we are defeated in divi-
sion at this election, as it is certain that
the county will be divided some time.
therefore the most conservative way for
the voters of eastern Mclean county is
to fall into line and defeat the county
seat. removal project, which we believe
is also the sentiment Of all those who
have given the subject much thought.
The case which was brought last
January by one Otto Grethen against
the editor of the Citizen for publish
ing legal notices officially" as charged
i'll the complaint, was dismissed by
Judge Winchester last week. Our local
readers are quite generally aware that
there was no evidence to bind lis over
to district court as also to the reasons
why Justice (?) King did so, and so
we will not burden our columns with a
refash of the subject. To the lawyer
publisher we wish to openly state that
next time he feels such smarting jeal-
ousy from our prosperity, he will dis
play more manliness by just stepping
across the street and allow us to engage
with him i'll a backyard performance,
instead of b%urdening the taxpayers, in
whose interests he is so deeply inter-
ested, with S apparent a personal
grievance.-Goodrich Citizen.
