The bismarck Palladium voices
an unquestionable truth in the fol
lowing in speaking of Congress
man Gronna's recent severe illness
it said:
The people of Nelson county and
the state at large we're never more
enthusiastic over his unquestion-
ably good record than at the pres
ent time.
The congressman was able to
participate in the celebration of
Norway's independence day in
Grand Forks on the 18th. The
reception given him by his coun-
trymen from all parts of the state
was like unto an ovation. Gronna
has the confidence Of the people
and will be re-nominated on the
first ballot-mark the prediction.

EDITOR LEADER
I was present at two meetings Of
the good government league" and
the object Of the meeting was tc
place good men in office and those
who had held Office two terms
should step down and out. This
was the sentiment expressed at the
meeting by those present. Now
see how this was carried OUT Al
the meeting Attorney Olgeirson.
of Underwood, a good lawyer anda
good, clean cut young man, q
credit to any ticket, was endorsed,
A committee went to Washburn.
and with the assistance of a man
with a grievance, who was allowed
to dictate the endorsement of q
ticket, the Underwood attorney
was taken off and the name of
Lamb put on as candidate for
county judge. Lamb is the pres
ent incumbent of the Office and we
are Informed, attends to it the least.
He has been in Office since the
first day he landed in the county
some eight years ago. Why this
change was made will require some
explanation on the part of those
who participated in the meeting at
Washburn. Since Lamb has been
on the pay roll of the county from
the first day he landed here, 1 for
one would be in favor Of giving
him a pension and electing a man
to the Office of county judge who
will at least attend to it. A number
of voters have asked the question
as to who was the county judge,
whether it was Sullivan or Lamb?
We understand that Sullivan has
acted in the capacity of judge in
the issuance Of marriage license
contrary to the provisions of the
law. We are also Informed by a
neighbor, a reliable man, that a
former clerk married a couple while
the Judge was absent in another
room. These things are illegal and
we do not want them continued.
Vote for a man who will attend to
the duties of the Office according
to law. If this is done the issuance
of marriage license by a clerk will
stop and those entering the state
Of matrimony in the future will
know that the license issued will
be legal. It is up to the voters of
the county and they should study
these things.
Those who attended the former
meetings will require considerable
explaining at the hands of those
who made the change in Wash
burn. The German voters of the
county are not going to be made
the cats paw Of any clique, and we
are going to insist that the action
of the committee in Washburn in
placing a chronic Office seeker on
the so-callcd German ticket in
place Of a thoroughly competent
man, a good lawyer, and a man
who would at all times attend to
the duties Of the office be explain
ed. We ask why was this done?

The so-called reformers have not
been able to find anything wrong
with the administration of Gov.
Sarles. Even the Grand Forks
Herald, as will be seen from an ar
ticle in this issue taken from that
paper, the reformer's main stay,
admits that Gov. Sarles has given
this state a good business admins
tration. Then why this cry Of re-
form? 1t is because those who are
heading the movement was turned
out of Office by the republican par.
ty of the state and now these same
reformers are trying to disrupt the
party that once honored them with
positions of trust. Did these men
reform anything while they were
in office? Did Spalding, while
he was congressman, elected by
the republican party, the one he is
now trying to reform, work for any
reforms? He voted for the salary
grab and he has not yet told us
in that case where the reform came
in, unless it was his pocket book.
Did Governor White while in Of
fee carry out any reforms? He
had four years in which to carry
out the reforms and he now bowls
against the republican party that
made him governor two terms and
because of his stand of the railroad
question, he was turned down and
he too cries reform. So it is down
the line. They all cry reform"
and "down with the gang when it
is nothing more or less than a de-
sire for Office, and they want it SO
much that they are willing to get
out and try to start a great re-
form movement and ride in on the
crest of the wave. They are not
willing to go before the people on
their past record in Office, but must
bolster up their grievance with a
cry of reform and gangism. The
old saying shat every tub must
stand on it's own bottom applies
in this case. We have Mr. Spald-
ing, one of the leaders Of reform
movement devoting his time to the
cause. Not willing to stand on his
record while in Office; not willing
to explain the vote on the salary
grab, he tries to cover it all over
with the mantle of reform and he
goes before the people. asking for
support not only for himself but
for the rest of the ex-ofice holders
who have a grievance against the
republican party because they were
not continued in Office. These
are the men who want Office and
are trying to get in on the old cry
of reform and gang, when their own
official acts, while in Office, were
such that the party would not lon
ger continue them in Office. The
voter should study these things
very carefully and see just what is
behind this reform movement.
Take the leaders Of the state, re-
form spalding, White, Deyine
and Winship, still you do not have
to go away from home, but take
the leaders right here in the county
of the reformers and what are they
asking for-ofice? What do they
stand for ? office. And SO it is down
the entire line, Office under the
of reform, and what is their
platform? Turn out one gang, one
that has done much in building up
the great state, and put another one
in that has DONE othing-and
can only cry reform as the only
reason for their being on earth.
Voters study these things.

When we compare the two lists
Of delegates from the third district
to the state convention, the Re-
publican party should be congrat-
ulated on the selection made. They
are representative men and stand
high in the estimation Of the peo-
pie. The Germans have no cause
for complaint at the treatment re-
ceived at the hands of the republi-
cans. They have been more than
fair and on the delegation half are
Germans.
There has been no strife be-
tween the Germans and Americans
in this district since we settled
here and there is no need for those
With a grievance trying to stir up
trouble at the present time in the
third district. There are some
good men on the German ticket
and others that are not. We are
Americans and as such, the tying
to work the nationality racket by
the leaders, with a grievance, will
not go at this time. The Germans
as we have said before, Jared we'll
at the hands of the republicans and
we have no complaint and this del
egation selected from the third
district, being the representative
men they will represent the great
county of Mclean in the state
convention with honor and credit.
This is what we want. We are
proud Of our county, and we do
not want men who have a grievance
against the republican party try to
work the nationality racket on us
as we are American citizens and
as such we are not going to COM
bine against the republican party
at whose hands we have Jared so
well and received such just treat
ment.
