The main difference between the
republican party and the democratic
party Of Williams county this year IS
this: The republicans stand for high
taxes, a supreme contempt OF the peo-
Dle's wishes, and a policy OF contin-
uing selfish and incompetent men IN
Office. On the other hand, the demo-
Gratis stand for retrenchment OF the
foolish waste of public funds, for re-
4'ucing taxes to the lowest possible
rate consistent with good govern
ment, and rotation in Office. If You
believe in wrecking Williams county
financially, vote for the republican
ticket. If you have the general we'll
being of the county at heart and a
desire to see competent business men
in Office, vote for the democratic
ticket.

The new settlers of this county
have increased the taxable property
OF the county about 100000. Pre-
vlous 10 the assessment of this year
the county was sunk in debt to the
debt limit. "Voter straight would
have you place the republican COM
missioners again in office, so that
they may continue the policy of sur
veying roads throughout the county
without attaching any labor to the
process. thereby furnishing food for
certain families around Williston to
the detriment of the road and bridge
fund. The proceedings of the coun-
ty commissioners for the last two
years will give you an insight into
this matter. Look it up.

Hon. n. p. Rasmussen bears the
distinction of being the only simon
pure farmer ever named for congress
by any party in this state, and for
the first time in the history of the
state will the farmers have an OPP
portunity of sending one of their own
class to congress. Mr.. Rasmusson's
nomination was neither machine
made, nor was it dictated from the
Merchants, of St. Paul, as was the
nomination of his opponent, Banker
Gronna of Lakota. 1t is lamentable
fact that, although the farmers COM
prise the largest class of producers
in our great commonwealth, their
representation in congress is ridicu-
lousy insignificant. If the farmers
of North Dakota neglect the oppor-
tunity to send one of their own kind
to congress. they will certainly have
10 cause to complain if the corpora
tons put it all over them.-North Da-
kota Patriot.

The office of county superintendent
of schools is peculiar one to fill. 1t
not only requires a man of experience
but one of judgment and an extended
knowledge of the county. Besides
holding a normal diploma and a life
certificate, the democratic nominee,
T.. r. Brownson has had a fine train
ing in high school and common
school work. Added to this, for the
last eighteen months, he has been
conducting Il most successful land
business. He is now United States
commissioner. The condition of our
county, both financially and educa-
tonaly, requires the best skill and
education the county can offer. The
democratic party is proud OF the
man they have placed on their ticket,
and they believe that every father
and mother who has the interests of
their children at heart will vote for
him, regardless of party affiliations:

Write the names of the men on the
republican ticket opposite the names
of those on the democratic ticket and
compare them, man to man. You will
come to the conclusion that the re-
publican ticket is made up of one
family, two chronic office-seekers, one
skeleton of the past" one candidate
for jamestown. and two men too
clean to be associated with the bal
ance of the ticket. 1t will also ap-
pear to you that the democratic
ticket is representative ticket. Four
nationalities are represented, every
section of the county is represented,
and the ticket as whole. is repre-
sented by competent, clean, candid
business men.

JOYCE AND DAILY
 AFTER CHAMPIONSHIP

Two champions of the cinder path will race next Sunday at Celtic park, New York, for the worlds champion ship at five miles. They are John J. Joyce, who holds the title in this country, and J. J. Daly, the Irish cham pion.
 The race between the two men on October 30, when Joyce fell, owing to being crowded, was unsatisfactory to both men. They have determined to settle the question of superiority next Sunday over the four-lap track at Gel fic park.
 The contest should prove the most interesting event that has taken place between rival athletes in years. Presi- dent P. J. Conway, of the Greater New York Irish Athletic association, expects 10000 spectators to see the race.
 Other than the special match race there will be several other athletic fea- lures, including Gaelic and association football played by celebrated Irish teams. lfts-Tx% %

LOU DILLON FAILS
 TO LOWER RECORD

Memphis, Nov 17.-IesS than il thousand persons yesterday witnessed Lou Dillon fail in an attempt to re, duce her disputed worlds record mile of 2:O1.
 With weather conditions and tenn perature regarded by horsemen as per feet, and with track that compared we'll with the famous course in its very best condition, the trotting queen struggled home at the finish a very tired mare in 2:01A, which equals Major Delmar's former worlds record, good until last Friday, when the off, cial timers caught Lou Dillon in 2:Ol.
 The official time by fractions yester- day was 3OA, 59A, 1:2914. 2:O1N. The official timers were G. R. James, E E. Becker and Lafe Shafer.
 Private time, caught by F. o. Ben nett, J. W. Schorr and Pat Dunne, who agreed to hold the watch for E. Fl. Smathers, was 30, 59 3-5, 1:29A, 2:Ol 3-5.
 The officials were in the timers stand. MT Smatherss representatives stood on the track in line with the fin ish.
 Dr 0. M. Hollenbach, who caught official time was displayed in 2:p1, timed yesterdays trial in POI 2-5. Many other watches agreed with both the private and official time
 In her trial yesterday Lou Dillon trotted alone over i've furlongs of the mile. At the three -eighths pole she was picked up by a running compan- ion, but no attempt was made to shield the mare during the Journey to the wire.
 Notwithstanding the distress dis played at the finish by Lou Dillon, Willard Sanders announces that he will make another attempt this after. noon st
 He says the mare has not had enough work this season to place Ter on edge for her fastest mile. Private betting yesterday was 2 to that Lou Dillon would not beat 2.01.
 From E E. Smathers's legal repre-. sentatives it is understood that the mile of 2:O1 by Lou Dillon will be pro- tested before the trotting board when in annual session.
 Affidavits have been taken from Dr Hollenbach and M. J. Shannon, who jointly caught s2:02 1-5. This, with other testimony, has been forwarded to Mir Smathers.
 From statements made yesterday by close friends of Smathers and Billings, it is evident that the rivalry between them will reach crisis when the trotting board meets. It is reported that allegations made by one of Ar Smathers's trainers which reflected on the timers at the recent regular meet ing here will be brought before the board with the request that the charges be probed and proved.

THIS SHERIFF
 WILL DO HIS DUTY

Lowell, Nov 16.-George B. How ley, sheriff of Morris, Minn, arrived in Lowell today after an absence of twenty three years. Ostensibly he is here to visit the sister whom he has not seen for many years, but to a World correspondent he told story of dramatic interest.
 ''I had drifted about the west for several years until finally landed in Morris,'' he said ''Six years ago prominent politician of the place, who had become my friend, put me in the fight for sheriff and stood behind me against odds till I was declared elected by a margin of six votes. On Tues day of last week was reelected to the office for the third time. And am east after the daughter of the. man who gave me my political start, ana who is now charged with the murder of her husband. She has been appre- hended in Vermont, and I am only waiting for the necessary papers to be signed to get her.
 'sNO, am not going to tell her name. It will come out soon enough. When I take her back to Minnesota she will be confronted with evidence to prove that her husband died from the effects of enough arsenic to kill half dozen men. They will ask her why she fled from the state.
 T shall do my duty and take her back, but I can't help remembering that she is the daughter of the man who put me upon my feet"
