SUPPORTS
DEMOCRAT
&c TICKET

The Guardian is nominally Repub-
lican paper; has been and is now a
! believer in those. great principles Of
economic policy-liberal construction
of constitutional powers, national SUI
! preme over state authority in it's
sphere, internal improvements pro-
| tective tariff and stable currency
which are the fundamental principles
| of Republican faith. 1t believes in
| Roosevelt as an exponent of the
| Square DEAL and Roosevelt Repup-
| licanism; but, it believes that there is
as much difference between that style
of party fealty and the curish sub
mission to ring dictates demanded by
| the present North Dakota state ma
chine as there is between daylight and
darkness.
That this machine extends from the
state down into the counties and pre-
cincts is a fact that admits of no dis
pute; and mark you right here that
!! by referring to this machine" The
Guardian does not mean the county
organization as a whole or the county
ticket as whole, but that part of. both
and they are subject to division
who are merely the autocratic execu-
tors CT their masters in Bismarck.
No conservative republican who has
been watching the trend of events in
this state-who will for a moment
waive partisan bias-doubts the exis-
tence of this machine grinding,
grinding. and he is not even a spoke
into the MILL vote in hand, and ground
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the few in
tlividuals who control it and their
petty little satellites throughout the
state.
If staunch Republican, time tried
ventures to express an opinion con-
trary to their dictates he is classified
as an nsurgent and disorganizer; if a
newspaper has any individuality of
expression. it is made the subject of
secret boycots after the manner of the
assassin: and these methods exercised
by many who are scapegoat Dem ocrats
masquerading in the guise Of Repub-
lica niSm.
That the ticket nominated at James,
town is the most ultra machine dictat-
ed ever placed before the electorate
of this state and that it will be the
most plant in the hands of the corpo-
ration. an inspection of its person.
mel only is needed to convince one.
From such a ticket, supported by a
Legislature in harmony with them,
the farmers of this state have nothing
in the way Of legislative relief to ex-
pect: they would rivet the shackles
of corporate power so tightly on the
unsuspecting granger that genera
ton of subsequent wise Legislation
would not undo it's effects
From such a gang Of hell-bent des-
tructionists The Guardian begs leave
to break away, and will, for the pur-
pose of this campaign at least sup
port the Democratic state and legis-
lative ticket, believing that in so doing
the best interests Of the state will be
subserved

County Democrat.
Tracy Bangs statement at theGrand
Forks democratic rally regarding GER
tain classes of useless citizens likely
to take national prominence and has
already been copied in many of the
eastern papers as we'll as many of
our state This is about the way
Tracy put it:
There are two classes of voters
who are menace to good govern
ment. One sells his vote for money
or its equivalent The other who is
no. better, so far as the good of the
state is concerned, is the man who
votes the party ticket without regard
to man. Neither of them exercises
judgment, but simply vote as any
machine might
A great many Republicans in this
county have sgnified their intention to
vote for John Burke for governor. To
these we would say-if you want John
Burke to be governor you should give
him an anti-machine legislature and
an anti-machine board Of equalization
Besides the state executive, the board
is made up of the lieutenant COVER
nor, auditor treasurer, and attorney
is made up Of the lieutenant COVER
general. The present board, and the
Jamestown. is under gang and railway
control. Remember this when you
vote.
Shall the people control the rail
roads. or the railroads control the peo-
pie: The best answer to this ques-
hcn is one mark at the head of the
democratic ticket this fall. With
John Burke, and board of edualiza-
ton in sympathy with him, in control
OF the affairs of the state, the rail-
roads will have to bear their fair
share of taxation.
