they threw away when surrounded.
The citizens of Kensal are determined
TO rid the town of the tough element
that has infested it for some time.
FOR POLITICAL EFFECT.
The Cleveland, Stutsman County.
Herald contains long screed about
alleged reasons for the opposition in
this county to the present judicial
incumbent. The article only de-
serves reply on account of the un.
truth of statements made therein.
The article says that one main rea-
son why the republican party Of
Stutsman county. turned down Judge
Glaspell at the spring convention
was because Jamestown newspaper
has claim for delinquent tax bill
which Judge GlaSpell opposes as an
attempt to rob tax payers. etc. Who
ever the author of the article may
be, 1T is full Of Misrepresentation,
and mis-statements of fact, evidently
prepared solely for political pur-
pose. The reason given that claim
Of that sort is sufficient to cause a
general opposition to the judge
throughout the county by the repub-
lican party, because he is said to be
opposed to such a claim is as absurd,
as untrue.
The further statement that the
publication of the tax list contained
errors different from the copy which
was the cause of the bill for the same
being refused is also untrue. With
out going into the trial OF the case
in the newspapers, it can be stated
that the Alert which printed the
list referred to, published it in the
wrong edition of the paper, but ac-
cording TO the directions of county
officials who had charge of the mat
ter at that time. For this publica-
tion no payment has ever been made.
and for this claim is now pending
to be heard by board of arbitrators
duly agreed upon by the board of
county commissioners. If the claim
is a just one it will, no doubt be al
lowed if it is not, it will be refused
as it should be.
The article in the Cleveland Herald
also exhibits its utter disregard for
truth by attempting TO bring into
disrepute several well known men,
bers of the republican county CON-
mittee who. it says, no doubt expect
to share the spoils in robbing the tax
payers on the collection of such a
claim. All of which is mere bosh,
as every fair minded citizen knows.
The article was printed in paper
in the western part of the county, tc
create sentiment among new comers
not familiar with the facts to favor
the present Judge for reelection, be-
fore whom the merits of the above
claim have never been heard, and
who it is said by the Herald article.
goes out of his way to decide in ad.
vance, case that has never been
tried before him. It is not believed
that Judge Glaspell would coun.
tenance any such statement even ir
his own interests, but it is suct
instances as these as given by the
Cleveland paper which give rise to
the report that he decides cases ad.
versely in advance wherever personal
or political animosities are concerned.
