Hard Times for the Herald.
bismarck Tribune.1

Between fraudulent manipulation of
the figures from the primary election
with view to deceiving as to the re-
suit, seeking to stir up dissensions
among the organization leaders and
incidentally offering to some of the
organization leaders the hand that has
SO often stabbed them in the back,
these are strenuous times for the
editor of the Grand Forks Herald. 1t
is not often that a newspaper, claim
ing the standing of the Herald, will
resort to absolute falsehood and the
corruption OF its news columns to
bolster up hopeless cause. Yet the
Herald, day by day, publishes list Of
delegates to the state convention, that
is Intentionally unreliable and dis
honest. OF the papers in the state
that have served the insurgent cause.
the Herald is the only one that has
had the hardihood deliberately and
wllfully to falsify the election returns
for political effect.
The Herald shrieks "stand pat" to
the delegates who have been selected
as insurgents, with all the fervor and
energy OF despair. But by outrageous
ly misrepresenting the conditions In
half dozen counties, and deliberately
placing in the insurgent column dele
gates to the number of dozens who
were elected fairly and squarely on
the organization ticket, the Herald is
able to muster only a few more than
200 votes to substantiate it's claims.
The nineteen votes of Richland county
are placed in the insurgent column,
when the returns show seventeen
regulars on the delegation. Mclean
county's vote is classed as doubtful.
when the regular republican delegates
have $50 to $50 majority. Ward
county is classed as doubtful, when
on fair and square issue, between
the regulars and insurgents, the regu-,
lars to the number of "a were elected,
Surely it would appear that the editor
OF the Herald has grown entirely re-
CARELESS of any reputation whatever
for truth or reliability when lie will
deliberately misrepresent to the Her
AIDS readers the true condition of
affairs with regard TO the election Of
delegates, in vain effort to keep the
broken ranks of the Insurgents from
melting away altogether.
Neither will the editor of the
Herald be able, either with threats or
with hypocritical pretenses of recent
conversion to friendship for old and
bitter enemies, be able to lay out the
course that may be followed by the
organization republicans. The re-.
publican leaders in this state are too
old and experienced TO be deceived
with such specious articles as have
recently appeared in the Herald, nor
will localities be deceived by the
special kilograms manufactured IN the
Herald ONCE IN an endeav0r to mis-
represent public sentiment as grossly
as the Herald has misrepresented the
results Of the election. The reader Of

proven that It will not hesitate to
manufacture figures, news or candi-i
dates in its hopeless endeavor to- gain
some comfort from Its recent and
CALLING defeat. stS I55
The Herald's election table alone,
taking into account none OF the viru-
lence or prejudice of its editor, is
proof conclusive OF the utter and COM
plete unreliability OF the Herald in
matters political and its utter and
complete disregard of it's mission as a
newspaper.
