FOR SENATOR.

Having received encouragement from
number of leading republicans, I
have decided to- become candidate
for the republican nomination for the
State Senate.
In order that, the voters may enter
tain no doubt as to where l stand on
certain important issues, submit
the following as my platform:
I am in favor of the extension of the
primary election law to affect all Offices
from Congress down to County offices.
and am in hearty sympathy with the
primary election resolution adopted at
the republican convention at Westhops
two years ago.
am opposed to the present republi
can state and county machine led by
Mckenzie. Hansbrough and Noble and
believe that a change of leaders would
he very beneficial to the republican
party of this state and county.
will not favor the enactment OF
another capitol commission law until
it is needed and as long as the present
state machine is in power.
am in favor of the repeal of the
present obnoxious newspaper libel law.
and believe that the old libel law
which was in force for many years.
offered ample protection for any honest
and upright man.
am opposed to giving and receiv-
ing railroad passes, as believe it one
of the greatest sources of political COR
ruption.
On any important issue that may
come up pledge myself to consult the
voters of Bottineau County, not in
"Star Chamber fashion, but in open
meeting or through correspondence.
will not be dictated to by any in
dividual of either conceded or assumed
leadership but will be within reach
of any voter or taxpayer on any issue
which anyone may desire to discuss
with me.
Should be elected would be alive
to the interests Of Bottineau county
and would use all honorable means for
the benefit Of my constituents.
:. On this platform submit my cam
didacy for the favorable consideration
of the voters of Bottineau county and
solicit the support Of all those who
concur in my views on these issues.
I do not expect support from people
holding views contrary to those I have
expressed.

sheyenne Kreds Hospital.

Very little, in fact nothing, has for
long time been said about the pro-
posed hospital of the Sheyenne Kreds
of the United Norwegian Lutheran
Church to be built at Rugby. But
although little has been said, let no
one from that infer that nothing has
been done. The fact is that all which
up to the present time reasonably
could have been done has been at
tended to. The Board which hes the
undertaking in charge has been dill
gently at work. They have now come
so far that they know just what sort
of hospital they are going to build,
both as to dimensions and cost of con-
struction. and that is saying even a
great deal.
The casual observer who reads this
will no doubt at once conclude that all
which now remains is to go ahead and
build with might and main, while all
we need to do is to stand by and mar.
vel how quickly it's done and gladden.
our hearts at the sight of tho beautiful
building springing up before our very
eyes.
But this brief article is not ad.
dressed to s'casual observers as we
never knew observation to accomplish
much along just these lines. The fact
is that nothing short Of money will
build hospital like the one intended.
The plans adopted call for about $685. :
600. 90. Of this So, 900. 90 is assured
being pledged by the City of Rugby,
and vicinity. This leaves balance
Of ST.. 100000 or more that must be
raised.
Now some pessimistic observer who
reads this may immediately conclude
that the whole project must strand.
While this is not addressed to s'Pes-
simistic observers either we will
however say word to such in pas
sing: Cheer up; we are nearer the
mark than ever and more determined
than ever. So if you will heed this
word Of encouragement and leave the
ranks OF pessimism and join us you
may continue reading this to the end.
We need your help that is the hos
pital does. II wouldn't be a charit-
able institution If it didn t.
But first we want you to consider
