The main difference between the
republican party and the democratic
party OF Williams county this year is
this: The republicans stand for high
taxes, 4 supreme contempt of the .peo-
ple's wishes and policy Of continuing
selfish and incompetent men in office.
On the other hand the democrats stand
for a retIenchment of the foolish waste
of public funds. for reducing taxes to
the lowest possible rate consistent with
good government and rotation in Office.
If you believe in wrecking Williams
county financially vote for the republic
can ticket. If you have the general
we'll being of county at heart and =
desire to see competent business men
in Office, vote for the democratic
ticket.

Albert Christensen, candidate fol
county treasurer on the democratic
ticket is Dung man of splendid per:
sonsl character and unusual business
ability. At the age Of thirty years be
has by honest industry and personal
integrity won the confidence and esteem
of his associates and achieved q com.
mendable position 10 the business
world. He was born on q farm near
La Crosse. Wis.,, Oct. S. 1874. of Scandi'
navian parents. Com PEELED At an early
age to seek work for himself and con-
tribute to the support Of others. he
found employment. in the mercantile
business and during one year Of such
employment held responsible posi-
ton in the large establishment of the
Espenhain Dry Goods House of Mil
waukee. Wis. The same energy which
has made him valuable to his
employers, prompted him to enter into
business for himself at Appleton, Wis,
where he conducted a profitable busi-
ness on his own account for three years.
Growing ambition then urged him to
seek broader fields in the great north.
west, and destiny pointed to Williams
county, N. D., AZ the field of his future
operation, where he took up a home
stead in the Nesson valley and has
since resided there with his family. In
1901 he took to himself wife, highly
respected and fitting. helpful com.
parison, to share in his future success
and ambition. All who know Mr..
Christensen recognize his person al
worth. business integrity, and compe-
tency. The democratic party OF Will

candidacy of Mr.. Christensen. What
the people want in public officials is
character, ability and integrity. No
candidate possess these qualities in a
more marked degree than MIR. Chrlsten.
son. We commend him to voters OF
Williams county.

treasurer has secured fine driving
team nnd buggy and lie daily interview

has most moDotonous tale of woe to
tell of how he tried, and tried, and tried
to be elected to Office for the last ten or
twelve years. He doesn't mention
that the only time be was elected was
when the democrats elected him to tho
Office OF "auditor." He doesn't tell how
the democrats had to straiehten out bis
books before his republican successor
would take bold of them. He doesn't
state that he tried twice for re-nomina-
ton to this same Office before tho demo.
cratic convention and was turned down
because the democrats recognised bis
inability. He doesn't cay that DO was .
staunch republican after the second
unsuccessful attempt to get Office from
tho democrats. He doesn't tell you
that he was the lowest man on tho
r. puLlican ticket, two years ago, and
that bis opponent was an Independent
candidate. Oh, no! these are secrets of
the past. He has locked and sealed the
door. He only looks cheerfully forward
to another defeat. 1t does not burt

The Graphic is the only democratic
paper in the county that has dared to
come out fat footed for the cause of
reform. There are four so-called repub.
l,can papers in the county with semi
democratic editors who are looking for
"plums." They have not openly and
heartily expressed the cause of the
republican candidates in this county
because each feels sore because be did
not make gathering" at the conven-
ton harvest. Can't YOU see brother
Editors" that there il nothing but "pits
and skins" left? The fruit has been
gathered long since and the tree Of the
republican party is whitening away.
WHY is this %? The. tree has been
tapped until the heart has rotted away.
That is the condition of the republican
party of Williams county today.

and two men too clean to be associated
with the balance of the ticket. 1t will

Special to THE EVENING NEWS.
Washington, Feb. 1O-The Russian
Minister in Washington has notified
Secretary Hay that the Car has sent
official notice that state of war exists
between Japan and Russia.
It is reported in Washington this af-
ternoon that in terrific battle on the
Yula River the Russians administered
a severe defeat to the Japanese troops
and that Chemulpo has been occupied
by the Russians. Other rumors state
that the Japanese fleet this morning
captured three transports of the Rus

board.
It is also stated that nine of the
Russian fleet have either been dis
abled or grounded. These rumors
are given little credence in official

lowing has been issued:
To My Dear Subjects: 81 declare
that we are anxious to declare peace so
dear to our hearts and did all in our
power to maintain tranquility in the
far East. With these peaceful aims,
we declared our readiness to revise the
existing treaty between the two EN-.
piressregarding Corean affairs.
The negotiations, however, have not
been carried to conclusion. Japan,
without waiting for the receipt of our
reply, broke off diplomatic resolutions.
Without considering whether such rup-
lures meant the common cement of
warlike actions, the Japanese govern
ment ordered her troops to attack sud-
denly our squadron at Port Arthur.
After the receipt of the report we or
dered cur government to reply with
arms. We hereby make known our
decision in firm trust in the help of
the Almighty, and in the assurance of
the unanimous readiness of our true
subjects to stand with us in the de-
Tense of our fatherland, we call the
blessing of the Lord upon our brave
army and feet" Gear.
