The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1906-06-01

DR.. j. A. Dillon, a former we'll
known practicing physian of this
place, returned last week for a visit
with friends after nearly two years
spent in study in the best hospi-
tails of Europe. The doctor is
looking we'll and says that it does
him good to be with his old friends
once more. He is going to locate
in Larned, Kansas. His home pa
per, the Osborne Farmer says:
"Dr. Dillon has well prepared
himself for his life work. He has
just completed tour Of the old
country, where he took a long
course of lectures in the great med
ical and surgical Institutes of Lon
don and Berlin. The doctor will
give most Of his time and attention
to surgical work, in which line he
has rare talent"
The doctors many friends on
the Missouri slope will wish him
well in his new location.

To understand the activity Of

To understand the activity of
ex-Congressman Spalding in the
campaign against the republican
organization of the state, it is
necessary to refer to the. fact that
Mr.. Spalding is disappointed
candidate for office. For a great
many years, while at least some of
the evils that he now complains of
must have been existent. Mr..
Spalding was a leader in the re-
publican organization. He served
at its head during the compaign
and was while a member of the
organization a frequent and per-
sistant candidate for Office. He
was an active an practical expon-
ant of the methods he now so
ardently opposes and he found
neither time nor inclination in
those days to refer to any corrup-
ton or evil methods that may have
existed, as he claims now. The
pertinent inquiry has been made
of him whether he would have
been making the speeches he
is making now had he been elect.
ed congressman at the last election
We believe the inquiry is still un-
answered. It is apparent, there
fore, that Mr.. Spalding's sudden
conversion to tfe belief that all
things political are corrupt is due
solely to the fact that Burleigh +.
spalding was not nominated for
congress by the people of the state
at the last election. Mr.. Spald-
ing's attitude is well summarized
in the old familiar lines
When the devil was sick
The devil a monk would be,
When the devil got well
The devil monk was he.
It is well to hear Mr.. Spalding's
speeches with an intelligent under
standing of how and when and why
Mr.. Spalding was converted, al
most as suddenly as Saul Of Tar
Bismarck Tribune.

What More Do TheV Want.

At the republican convention of
two years ago this district of Nc
Lean county, known as the third
district, was given everything for
which it asked. Being composed
largely of Germans it was gener-
ally conceded that this district
wanted Germans to represent it,
and it got Germans on the ticket.
This district has never been shut
out in the least by the republican
organization of Mclean county, as
will be shown in this article.
At the convention in question
the Germans were given the fol-
lowing:
w. L. Nuessle, states attorney,
Denhof.
Frank Putt, county commission
er, Martin.
Peter A. Scmidt, clerk of court,
Martin.
John Schlenker, representative
Goodrich.
Henry Bartz, public administra-
tor, Martin.
David Leer, assessor, Lincoln.
The above-named gentlemen are
holding Office in Mclean county
at present. They received their
nominations at the Mclean coun-
ty republican convention held at
Washburn on May l6, 1904. They
are all Germans. This district
went into the convention with
eight delegates, while the other
two districts went in with 20 dele
gates, yet to give the Germans a
fair representation, and as this
district is, as has been stated here
tofore, composed largely Of Ger
mans, it was given seven of the
Offices and six of these office were
given the Germans, the seventh
that Of county treasurer, was given
r. Irwin Root, the present incum-
bent. In other words, the Ger
mans were given over half of the
Offices and this district was given
seven out Of the ten places on the
county ticket, when they had bare
ly one-third of the delegates. Is
not that a square deal? Yet the
Germans are organized to defeat
the present republican organiza-
tion in Mclean county, and they
have as slogan ''fair representa-
ton" The German organization
want "fair representation" and also
they are in favor Of the primary
law because it gives them fair
deal, they say, yet they boldly en-
dorsed q list Of candidates at Wash
burn recently and pledged their
support tothose certain candidates
that they endorsed. Is that fol-
lowing out the spirit and intent Of
the primary law? Is that giving
every free-born American citizen
the inalienable right to ask the
support Of the people without be-
ing handicapped because he did
not happen to be born Of German
parentage? The Voice has moth
ing personally to say against the
candidates that were endorsed by
the German organization. as many
Of them we're endorsed before being

COUNTY COMMENT

UVUN1 ] VVlVlIlulVl
The insurgents are shouting
long and loud against boss rule.
Up in Ramsey county-two men
Mccormick and Norton insur-
lgent DO ,ses- have selected candi-
dates for delegates to the state
convention; members Of the legis-
lature and county ofhcers-and
sworn them in-without consult
ing anybody. No example of boss
rule was ever before so beautifully
exemplifed as in this case. Late
reports from that county are to
the effect that the republican
voters are up in arms against such
brazen boss antics and are going
to do things to the new gang can
didates at the primaries. s.-Grand
Forks LINES.
The above is a good deal along
the same lines as here in Mclean
county, only that the real leaders
are kept out Of the public gaze,
probably on account of their past
dark record, and the little under
hirelings are left to do the dirty
work.
*x*
If you are true republican and
have the future of the party in
this state at heart, you will be
careful as to whom you pledge
your support to represent you at
the State Convention. There is a
<'new gang" composed Of some
democrats and few disgruntled
republicans whose greed for Office
distracts all concern for the future
of the party organization and who
if defeated at the republican con-
vention will undoubtedly work for
the democratic party ticket. Dur
ing the past two months we have
witnessed the antics Of an organ
ization in this county which has
been dubbed .'The German Good
Government League" which at
the outset was owed to be for
the purpose and intent of instruct
ing the German voters of the
county how to vote under the
Primary Election law, which in it.
self was commendable, but to The
Citizen it has been apparent since
the first meeting was held here
that it has only been a plot to get
control of the delegation to the
State Convention and then turn it
over to the insurgents" Our
anticipation in this regard was due
to indentification of certain local
parties with the move who have
been conspicous in SO called re-
form movements in recent years
and whose party affiliations were
not we'll recommended by parties
who have known them elsewhere.
Now that we are convinced that
our conclusions were right, we are
not going to be backward, but
come out in the open and give our
readers the benefit Of our findings
in this rank case of trying to
usurp the republican party organ
izationi of Mclean county to furth-
er the personal grievances of cer-
tain individuals, unreliable repub-
licans, populists and democrats.
What have they done? In the
first place they held meetings in
all the principal towns in the
county and vociferously denounced
the present county officials and
said that all must be turned out
and new put in their places. Have
they fulfilled this penchant in the
endorsement they have made for
county officers? Secondly, in ut
ter disregard for the teachings Of.
the Primary election law which
was placed upon the State Statues
for the purpose Of giving every
candidate square deal,' ten or
twelve Of the '.chieftains'' have
picked out a ticket and says 1--WE
