After a number of years of
lethargy, the Democrats of this
county have again aroused their
energies and they are hoping to
get sufficient encouragement to
warrant the ACCESSIBILITY of put
ting a ticket in the field. Their
tenacity deserves admiration,
but it is a forlorn hope at this
time. What the future will bring
forth remains to be seen.

States Atty. Chas. S. Shippy
informs the PIONEER that he will
not be a candidate for reelection
this year. He will step aside and
give the other fellow a. chance,
which shows the right spirit on
his part. We have been told
there will be several candidates
for the Office but we are unable
to state authoratively who they
will be at present.

Almost every stranger that
comes to town remarks upon the
fine condition of our Streets
condition seldom seen in the
smaller towns of the state at
this season of the year. Altho
the expense has been heavy in
making this improvement, the
satisfaction and comfort derived
therefrom amply repays US. It
is money we'll spent and every
one who has the welfare of the
city at heart voices our senti-
ments in this matter.

To THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS O
STEELE AND GRIGGs COUNTIES:

I hereby announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
member of the House of Representa-
tives of the Legislative Assembly of
the State of North Dakota from the
18th Legislative District, at the pri-
mary to be held June 10Th 1906.
If nominated and elected, I shall
endeavor to carry out Republican
party principles as interpreted by such
leaders as President Roosevelt and
Senator LaFollette. I shall endeavor
to promote the enactment of just laws
and an economical administration of
state affairs. I { am now, and always
have been, opposed to the dictation of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. machine in
political affairs of the state. One of
the most important issues to be fought
out before the next legislative assem-
bly, will be the extension of the pres
ent primary election law. l shall
endeavor to secure the extension of
the present primary law SO as to
include all elective officers and U. S.
Senators. I heartily believe in the
law prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors as a beverage, and shall
oppose any legislation tending to
weaken it's present efficiency and shall
favor any reasonable legislation that
may make it more effective.
Trusting that at the June primary 1
may receive the support of all my old
time Republican friends, as we'll as
the support of all others who have
settled in the district in recent years,
1 am,
Very respectfully,
S. II. NELSON.
