true that the majority of peo-
pie care not whether this law
is enforced or not, however
much we may all differ about
the law itself. 1t is law aa
long as it remains on the
statute and most good law
abiding citizens do not like to
see any law violated be that
the prohibition law, the game
law. the insurance law or any
thing else in the law line.
The clique which runs the
republican campaign; the re-
publican party and tries to run
the whole county can't offer a
single excuse for the ticket
which it has the nerve to offer
to the voters of the county.
And the majority of the candid
ates on the ticket can't present
any good reason why any sane
man should vote for them.

who has looked after the inter.
est of the county and tax-pay-

who has been satisfactory to all

A Republican Explains Why He
Votes the Other WAY.

Walcott, N. d., Oct. %, 1906
Editor of The Wahpeton Times
If ever the independent cit.
izens of this county irrespec'
tive of party had reason to ex.
ert their independence and to
register by their votes protest
against conditions as they exist
in this county at this day and
have existed during the pres
cut administration, they have
certainly good reason and te
spare this fall.
IF the republican party does
not believe in the prohibition
law and its enforcement why
doesn't that party advocate re
submission?
If, as its platform expresses
it, this law with Other laws on
our statute books should be en-
forced, why doesn't that party
nominate men for Office who
will carry out the resolutions
contained in the platform? L,
will not do for a district at
torney or a sheriff to say that
they are not called upon to
furnish evidence. In the frs,
place only blind man can't
see the violations of the law
and in the second place these
officers are paid for ferretina
out all crimes committed. If a
store has been burglarized or q
murder ommitted, would it do
for the states attorney and
the sheriff tosit calmly in their
respective offices and wait for
some private citizen to bring
the necessary legal evidence to
secure a conviction in court?
Does it need more than car
load of empty beer kegs, or a
score or more of drunken loaf.

are true he is fairly we'll ac-

The Wahpeton times., 1906-11-01

Henry T. Connolly. one of the
democratic candidates for a
member of the legislature of
the 18th legislative district. is
not a stranger to the voters of
the 18th district. Mr.. Connolly
has spent nearly all his life in
Richland county, aud up until
a few years ago was a farmer.
He was elected a member ut
the Legislature of this district
in 1902, and served the people
of this district and the state in
an able. honorable and con-
scientious manner. The ap-
preparations that were secured
for the school of science, locat-
ed in the city of Wahpeton, was
largely through the efforts of
Mr.: Connolly; other members
of the Legislature from this
district at that time, without
regard to party, gave Mr.. Con.
molly credit for persistency and
energy in bring about this ap.
preparation. He is now en-
sngci III the hardware busi-
ness in the city of Wahpeton,
and will be unable to see the
voteis of the district personal
ly. We believe that Mr.. Con.
nolly's record in the past justi-
fies US in saying that, if again
elected to the legislature, he
will not be the tool of any cor
porate or trust interest, and
that his energies will be direct
ed towards the protection of
the interest of the people; and
of all times in the history of
Dur country now is the time
that such men should be elect
ed to the Legislature.

and the sound guided him. In a mo-
ment, he reached a fight or stairs he
previously had descended. up which he
hurriedly climbed, and threw open a
door leading into a kitchen adjoining
the hall of the house.
There now was light in the room.
and at tube in the wall a man stood
listening. with his amazed counter
arce revealing plainly enough the ma
ture OF the startling facts which Busby
hurriedly was imparting him. Yet, the
instant he beheld Boyd. his face
changed like a flash. and he sprang
back and reached for his hip pocket.
Boyd was after him with leap like
that of a tiger. however. and before
the weapon could be drawn he landed
straight shoulder blow on the ruff
fans neck which sent him headlong
into a corner.
Just to remember me by!' cried
Boyd, as he dashed across the room
and into the hall.
After the important discoveries he
so boldly had made. he fully realized
that any one of the gang would
promptly shoot him If the opportunity
presented. and the situation still was
too desperate TO admit Of his attempt
ing to arrest the fellow he had fioored.

sideration. therefore. he dashed
through the hall OF the house, quickly
opened the front door, and then sped

That he meant what he said not q
mani among them could doubt; and to
a man they instinctively shrank from
his uplifted hand.
BY slow degrees the color had left
the face of the chief crook among
them. He was shrewd enough to
plainly see the chance Boyd was talk
ing. and that, if he had spoken the
truth, he held, indeed the ribbons of
the situation. Knowing Boyd as he
did, this crook could not doubt. that
he meant all he said; yet he hoarsely
demanded, stretching half across the
table:
DO you mean that? Do you mean
that, you devil?"
Boyd was very pale yet the look on
his face was one to have swed any be-
holder. He ignored the question asked.
With the missile still held high above
his head, with his gaze covering his
every observer. he cried. sternly:

He began TO count. His voice fell
with the ring of death-knell on the
otherwise silent chamber. One by one
the gang shrank farther away, yet ap-
peared so held by the thrilling scene
and by Boyd's awe-inspiring face, that
not one of them left the room.

The last came from the chief. With

doodoor. and hoarsely cried:

Boyd had anticipated no less than
these endeavors on the part of the
gang, and had carefully fixed I'm his
mind the way by which he had entered
under Ranney's guidance. that he
might lose no time In returning.
The moment the door of the chamber
closed behind him, showing that the
opportunity to drop him with bullet

struck match and quickly made his
way through the dismal passage. which
