UP TO THE FARMERS.

The farmers on tomorrow will be
required to decide whether or not they
will have Spalding or what is just as
bad, man selected by him, to repre-
sent this state in the lower house of
congress. They will decide in this
whether or not it is to their interests
to have man from this state working
for the interest of the mill trust by
speaking and voting in congress for
the importation of free wheat from
the Canadian fields where the growers
are content with thirty cents per
bushel, to compete with the products
of our own North Dakota fields, thus
keeping the price down to the level of
that OF Canada and deprivng our
wheat growers of their legitimate
markets.
Mr.. Spalding when in congress
spoke and voted to accomplish Just
that result. He would do the same
thing again if he was true to his be-
lief. The farmer who votes for the
disruptionist delegates, votes power to
men who will nominate either Spald
ing or some man selected by him and
his political cohorts.
A vote for the disruptionist delega-
ton therefore means a vote for thirty
cent wheat; vote in favor of the mill
trust as against the farmer; a vote
against pure food laws; a vote against
the stoppage of the robbing of North
Dakota farmers by the grain trust
through irregular and illegal inspec-
ton and dockage; vote to again dis
grace the state with public man who
attempted to secure travelling expenses
from the government for trip from
Washington to North Dakota and re-
turn when he never left the congress
sional hall during the time the trip
would have had to be made.
Where does the interest of the
farmers of North Dakota lie, and what
is the position required of men who do
not believe in graft and public robbery?

A Good Way to Get Bait.

The boy wanted some worms for
bait. He had selected a promising
spot, a shady and low-lying dell, but,
though ne had been digging now for
fifteen minutes, not single worm
had his spade turned up.
Here, sonny" said an old angler,
take this chunk Of soap and make me
quart or two of soapsunds."
The boy brought the suds, the old
man sprinkeld them over the ground,

1t was amazing. Here; where the bow
before had not found single worm,
the old man now discovered them in
dozens. -

same as molasses draws flies. A

will do the same thing also.".

their passions and prejudices, not yet
their personal animosities, but their
cool, reflective and deliberate judg-
ment.
So far as the republican party is
concerned it has sought to present
facts and facts only. 1t has done this
throughout the entire state fearlessly
and without equivocation. 1t has, too in
a manner which has left no doubt as to
the meaning of it's declarations. 1t
has made charges against those who
have sought it's disruption and has
frankly asked that they make denial if
the statements were untrue. But when
these disruptionists knew that the peo-
pie were awaiting denial for the pur-
pose of being convinced of their falsity,
not word has been uttered
In all these things there has been no
assault inspired by personal hatred or
disappointed ambition. They have
been made calmly and deliberately
and no attempt has been made to
arouse the passions and prejudices of
the people. On the contrary it has
been a campaign so far as the republi-
can party is concerned of appeal to the
reason rather than to the preiudices.
1T has been a campaign of facts rather
than insinuations and misrepresenta-
tons.
AS the work closes tomorrow the
same appeal to reason and honesty in
| its fight against it's enemies who, mas
luerading under the guise of it's own
colors for the purpose of deceiving the
| public, have sought to destroy it's prin-
ciples.
Whenever any cause can only be
carried to victory by vile insinuation
and personal abuse it is conclusive
evidence that it is based upon wrong
principles and inspired by wrong mo-
tives. Such it has proven in this cam
paign and the verdict which the people
will register tomorrow will prove that
such methods are doomed to disaster.

been waging desperate war to secure
their ends.
They knew in this state such a
scheme openly made would mean such
public indignation that were it once
aroused those who advocated it would
hardly be permitted to remain in the
state, and SO the leaders of the dis
ruptionist movement have carefully
planned that the matter should not be
known until the votes were cast and
the fate Of the effort was forever
sealed. Then the wheat growers would
have no redress.
BY accident the matter leaked out
at the last moment in Richland county
and the story was given to the public.
There is yet time to eradicate the
crowd and the farmers will certainly
do it.

THE MILL TRUST SCHEME.

1t is evident that the grain trust is
making desperate effort to defeat the
republican party in this state. The
reason is evident. The present dele
cation in congress has been waging
relentless war on the crowd of wheat
dealers who have by means of illegal
dockage and false grading robbed the
farmers of North Dakota of millions
of dollars. This has been done in the
constant fight being made for federal
inspection and grading of grains.
This year in spite of the desperate
fight made by the mill trust and the
grain ring, few laws have been hitch
ed onto the appropriation and other
bills which in operation will accom-
plish just what the wheat growers of
this state have been demanding. AS
a consequence the mill trust and the
wheat ring are determined to defeat
the republican party in this state from
which all the opposition to their
scheme of robbery comes, at any
hazard.
They have found a crowd Of willing
allies masquerading under the cloak
of reformers who were willing to ,sell
out the interests of the farmers of the
state II by so doing they could secure
control of state and national affairs
and assist that band of leads in cary
Ing out their plan OF footing the state
for their own personal aggrandize-
ment Consequently these two ele-
tments have Joined forces and have

THE ISSUE TOMORROW.

The battle for the disruption of the
republican party in this state has been
fought-on the part of the leaders of
that unpatriotic movement with the
desperation of men knowing that the
| defeat of their scheme means the pre-
vention of the rich looting which they
have enjoyed in the past. 1t need not
be said that the plans for the carrying
out of their desperate scheme have
been carefully laid and conducted with
a cunning and deception which has
tended to deceive the public. In fact,
they had hoped to win entirely by de-
ception.
Luckily for the tax payers and wheat
growers of the state, their past deeds
have been exposed to the public gaze
and not word of denial has come
from them. If they were not guilty
they would have resented the specific
charges and given the lie to those who
| made them in manner which would
have left no doubt of their innocence.
On the contrary, in addition to the I'M
deniable evidence of such guilt, they
remain silent, and attempt to ask the
intelligent voters of this state in the
face of this robbery of the tax payers
to vote for delegates tomorrow who
will attempt to nominate candidates
for state officials in harmony with
them and ready to do their bidding.
The purpose of such an effort in the
face of recent disclosures, is easy to
determine. 1t is just as easy to see
why such desperate efforts have been
made by these disruptionists to get
control of state affairs and thereby
hush any investigation which might
have been attempted as we'll as to
continue the looting of the tax payers
of the state thirty-six per cent more
than they should have paid for state
work.
These are the issues which are pre-
sented to the voters tomorrow. They
will be compelled to decide between
the continuation Of the republican
party with all it's glorious history of
the past, its fulfilled record of every
thing which has demanded regulation
by law, its clear record in everything
which concerns the nation, the clean
and business like administration of
state affairs in North Dakota, against
which even those who were resorting
to falsehoods and Misrepresentation to
win their fight, have not been able to
make single charge. And more. They
will be compelled to decide whether
or not the state affairs, which after
election become the interest of every
citizen regardless of party, will be
placed in the hands of crowd of men
whose every public act has been to the
injury or disgrace of the state, and
whose only reason for seeking con-
troll is that they may again be placed
in power 30 that they may trade the
influence thus given them for things
which inure to their personal profit.
The question is before the voters
of the state and as intelligent and
honest men there is only one course
open, and that is to repudiate the dis
ruptionists in such an emphatic man
sner that they will never again attempt
to rob the tax payers and secure con-
troll Of the government Of the state
by deception and fraud and for the
purpose Of footing the treasury. 81

Grand Forks Herald are true, he. like

The Optic has not made a special in
vestigation of the so-called printing
graft, put the charge brought against
Mr.. W1nship by The Grand Forks
Evening Times is specific, and the vct-
ers OF North Dakota will eagerly await
a denial from the editor of the Grand
Forks Herald.
The charge in brief is that in 1902
Mr.. Winshtp and three other printers
signed an agreement that in consider
alton of Mr.. Winship's receiving the
contract for fourth class printing Ia
most valuable contract) he should nav
each of the other three printers a sum
equal to IL per cent of the gross
amount received by him, making Sc
per cent in all.
1T is estimated that the contract
tor the two years amounted close to
100000, so it is alleged that the
state paid $4,000 for which it got no
returns. This amount is charged was
paid merely that Mr.. Winship might
get the contract at an extraordinary
figure.
The Optic believes that Mr.. Win
snip owes the voters of the state an
explanation. If the charges are false,
the people should know it.
