ANNOUNCEMENT.

I hereby wish to announce to the
voters of Bottineau county that am
no longer a candidate for State
Senator.
Firmly believing that it was detri-
mental to the best interests of the Re-
publican patty to have two candidates
in the fold from Bottineau, con-
sented to leave the matter to the
county Central Committee. They
have acted and am out of the race,
am entirely satisfied with the decision.
From personal standpoint realize
now that could not have spared the
time necessary to conduct a campaign.
This announcement would have
been made earlier except for the fact
that was away from home.
thank my friends for their offers
Of assistance and support and with
draw from the contest.
Trusting that in the present cam
paign factional fights and personal
matters will be laid aside and hoping
that the Republican party will win
out at the polls am

COUNTY POLITICS
NeWhouse WithdraWs from the
Senatorial Race and E. L. Car
den is Candidate for Repre-
sentative--The Fight Warming
UP all over the County.

G. L. Newhouse is out of the senat-
orial race and is candidate for dele
gate to the state convention on the
slate gotten up to oppose the dele
cation that is opposed to the Hans
brough- M Kenzie machine. This
throws the senatorial situation up in
the air and many republicans are
skirmishing and still more are side
stepping.
E. L. Garden announcement that
he is candidate for the nomination
for representative has revived inter-
est in the race for the lower house.
Mr.. Garden s platform. published else
where in this issue, is very explicit
one and leaves no room for doubt az to
where he stands. Mr.. Garden is well
recommended by all his acquaintances.
Lloyd Wells couldn't t stand the pres
sure any longer and announces him
self as candidate for re. election to
the Office of county surveyor. Mr..
Wells announced some time ago that
he would resign as he had made up his
mind to remove to Mclean county.
But resigning has become a fixed habit
with Lloyd and no one takes him SER
iously. And then the Office pays we'll.
ask the farmers who are paying for
the Gessner and Kane drains if
Lloyd's services don't como pretty
high. But of course he doesn't want
the office--he was forced into the fight.
The action of the central committee
in putting an official brand on seven
teen candidates is being freely
dicussed. If anything complimentary
has been said about it, it has not been
said above whisper.
F. E. Packard, who wrote up the
political situation in Bottineau county
for the Grand Forks Herald, was
severely criticised for what he said
about the senatorial situation. But,
honorb right, hasn' this prediction come
| true?

Adopts a Different Attitude
in Mclean County--Is
not surprising to those
who know Him.

Lloyd Wells, who is vn the republi-
can central committee by an act Of
Providence. and who has been very
busy trying to line up delegation to
the state convention against the one
named by the anti -Hansbrough- Nc
Kenzie people, has a newspaper at GAR
rison in Mclean county. Down there
he is fighting the Hansbrough- Nc Ken
zie gang while in Bottineau county he
is opposing the people who are opposed
to the gang. But very few are sur.
prised. Here IS what his paper at
Garrison says of the situation in Nc
Lean county, which is very similar to
the situation in Bottineau county
IA meeting of the Republican Cen.
trail Committee the newspaper men and
the numerous Candidates for county
Offices in Mclean county, North Dak-
ota, was called on Tuesday, May 9Th.
by John Satterlund. chairman of the
Repu blican county central committee.
The German good government league
of the east end of the county were also
invited to attend this meeting.
Although the stated object of this
meeting was to harmonize the differ
ent factions in the county, still the
real and only purpose of this meeting
was to place seventeen candidates in
the field as delegates to the Republi
can state convention, who would do
the bidding of the gang. King John
used the county central committee as
cats paw when he attempted to
force the German Organization to do
his biddings through them.
"The committee met in the court
room on Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock p. m. and their chairman ap-
pointed a committee of three to confer
with the German good government
league, it used it's last semblance Of
power to force this good government
league to endorse the sales of the
county Gang. but they were not to be
dictated to by the county gang. After
several meetings the conference ad.
journed infinitely.
1--WE understand that the German
Good Government League have en-
dorsed list of the independent candi.
dates both for county Offices and for
delegates to the State convention to be
held at Jamestown.
The Independent heartily approves
of this movement on the part of the
German Good Government League and
will endorse any and every movement
of this nature that has for its object
the education of the people along poll
tical lines and the instilling of purer
and cleaner methods into the politics
of the state and Mclean county"

COM MI lTTEE ACTS
The Central mmitte After
wrestling with the Question of
Delegates for two Weeks is Fin-
ally Whipped Into Line and
names a list Of Delegates.

Inc republican central committee
has at last shown how it stands on the
issues involved in the campaign. Pres.
sure has been brought to bear on them
for month or more to take action and
name delegation to the state conven-
tion. A meeting was held about ten
days ago for this purpose, but after
iwrangling several hours they adjourned
without naming any delegates-well
knowing how repugnant such meth
sod would be to the voters. The next
morning Editor Falkenstein told a
Courant representative that he was
opposed to any such corrupt method
and that he did not for moment
believe the committee would ever take
any such action, yet he brought about
a meeting of the committee at One
NEE on Wednesday at which a full set
of delegates was selected. Peter Scott.
the secretary of the committee, was
not notified and was entirely ignored
in the matter. Nevertheless two men
who were not members of the commit
tee we're present, viz: T. F. Woods
and Virgil B. Noble. The reason for
ignoring the secretary is glaringly ap.
parent; there is time when men love
darkness rather than light and it was
feared that Secretary Scott would not
stand for the methods that would be
resorted to. But this one act will
cost the candidates they brought out
several hundred votes in the county.
It cannot be denied that there are some
good men on their list of delegates,
but they are handicapped with the
brand of the committee that in all
fairness should show no preference for
any set of candidates. The following
is the platform(9) and list Of candi-
dates:

as delegates we pledge ourselves to
