Davis And Spaulding Con-
traSted

Davis, if he has been especi-
ally energetic about anything
during his legislative career, It
has been in the defence of the
farmer and his interests. He it
was who drafted a series of draw
back resolutions, took them
through the House, and had
them sent to Washington, oppos-
ing the shipping in bond Of Ca
madam wheat. He saw adamtt-
ing free wheat would work
against the farmers of NorthDa-
kota. Spaulding voted for free
wheat and the milling trust, and
against the farmer. Davis is a
republican who believes in his
party and is proud Of it's history
in this state. Spaulding is an
insurgent, who believes in his
party until he yielded to temp
tation, fell from grace, and grew
an eruptive protuberance upon
his head. en-

town and the phone was used
by some of the stalwarts to as.
slst the political Superintendent
to get an audience. Four stall
warts responded to the call and
assembled in the place Of speak
ing. When the twilight was
darkening into night, Supt. Nor
ton rose to introduce his speak
er, and so lonesome did it APP
pear, that upon proposal of a
staWart, the. audience vacated
the seats and left the Superin-
tendent, the speaker from
the north aforesaid, and the
two legal lights from De-
wills u a k e, sitting alone
in eloquent silence. One who
was there said he really felt
sorry for them. Indeed, we can
not but feel that way ourselves.
IT they represented a cause which
we could respect, we would con-
dole with them, but their cause
should not be allowed in court.
They have overdone the pudding,
and they must now chew the
string in solemn reflection. q.

Davis as a CRATER

The Devils Lake Journal has
found out Geo. w. H. Davis at
last, and has proved him a graft
er. Boss Mccormick and his
man Friday should not allow an
unterrifed democrat to Soutdo
them. Here is a complete expose
of Davis and his methods Of
grating: GAS an illustration
of the sort of CRATER G. w. Fl.
Davis is, it is pointed out that
in the winter of 1885 he circu-
lated a petition to the territorial
legislature to detach a half doz-
en- townships from the south
part Of Cavalier county and graft
them to Ramsey county, which
was accomplished. Looking at
it from democratic standpoint,
we feel that the insurgents, if
they beat him, have done some
good business, but if we were a
republican, we would consider
ourselves very foolish to take a
hand in turning down a man who
has done as much for his county
as has Davis. -

A Busy Senator

Senator Hansbrougk is one of
the busiset men in Washington,
but he is never too busy to look
after the interests of mis- own
state. The other day he secured
the attention of the Committee
on Appropriations to the neces-
sity of appropriating $1,000 for
the Improvement of Sully's Hill
Park: This park is just across
Devils Lake in Benson county;
a beautiful spo and will be a
pleasant resort for the people of
Devils Lake and the surround
ing country. The Senator is do
ing his best to get through Con-
gross, this session, a bill for a
public building in Devils Lake.
He will succeed in this. In
fact his detractors should give
him credit for his activity and
his efficiency. If they were
shrewd enough to do that, they
would add to the weight of their
criticisms, when they honestly
differ with him and his policy.

THE WEEK
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Vote at The Primaries

Do not neglect to vote at the
primaries. 1t is your duty to
vote. The primary election is
simple, easily understood. Elk
anime the ballot. Should you
desire in voting to place a name
of a candidate by sticker or by
writing, do not write such name
or place such sticker over the
name of any candidate printed
on the ballot, for by so doing
you will void the ballot on which
you vote. You will find lines
left beneath the candidate or
group of candidates on the ballot
ON which you may place by
sticker, or by writing, the nam
es of any candidate other than
those on the printed ballot for
whom you may wish to vote.
For legislative nominations you
may vote for three candidates,
and for the state delegation, for
thirteen candidates; for all other
Offices you will vote for but one
candidate.

A Pedigree OF The Bosses

IS Farmers of Ramsey county are
respectfully invited to consider
the leaders Of the insurgents,
and to ask who they are as re-
vealed by their public record.
For example, there is Boss Win
ship. He looted the state of.
North Dakota Of thousands upon
thousands of dollars, in connec-
ton with printing contracts;
Boss Spaulding, he voted for free
wheat, frosted at that, to favor
the milling trust and crippeled
the farmer, and he voted to loot
the United States treasury Of
about six-hundred dollars for
mileage he did not use; Boss
Devine Chief Three Salaries.
that's enough; Boss White, he
connived to get away from an
Important meeting Of governors
of the Northwestern states a
meeting called to protect the
farmers from the rapacity Of the
Northern Securities Company,
and Boss Murphy hush hold
your nose. Then there are the
little bosses and the very little
bosses, the only difference be-
tween them and the bigger boss
es being that they never had as
great opportunities to promote
their selfish interests, and have
not the ability to take as great
advantages even if the opportu-
nifty were presented. Born from
the womb of selfish discomfort,
but in different litters, everyone
Of them has a sore on his head
as big as Jobs first carbuncle.
They have a hard time caring for
those eruptive sores and seem to
think that the only efficacious
emolient is the oil of office. These
are the individuals who, to ease
their itching crowns, shout,

Out of a Full Heart Speaketh He

Ed. A. Smith, until recently a
prominent Ramsey county insur
gent, and cheek by jowl with
Boss Mccormick and his man
Friday, is now editor and manag-
er of the Bottineau Courant, has
this to say of his former insur-
gent colleagues: with all the
dictatorial power complained of
against Alex Mckenzie, his So
called gang has taken pride in
producing good local and state
government. The New Gang"
II as represented by the self
appointed leaders will sell out
the state, the county and even
each other, to gain their ends.
AS between the old gang and the
new gang, we can stand the old
gang a little longer rather than
risk the new. Honor, even
among thieves, is better than
no honor at ALL" Smith must
have suffered all the pains of
parturition to tell as much truth
at one sitting as that. That
truth needs no wet nurse. 1t
like Minerva from the brain of
Jupiter, was born Justify strong
full fiedged and ready to fly.

gagged in organizing insurgent
cabals throughout the county?
Speak out, Supt. Norton.
They Butt Their Own Heads

Tommie of Starkweather, and
Jimmie of the Ferry, would make
their readers believe that the In
ter Ocean denounces the Davis
Primary bill a graft. If they
were half as shrewd as they think
they are, such a transparent false
hood would be left imprinted,
for nine of ten of their readers
are subscribers and readers of
the Inter-O Ocean, and know of
their own knowledge how false
such a statement is. This per-
sistent disregard for truth ex-
plains the rapid desertion in the
insurgent ranks. The truth is
too stalwart for the little bosses
to stand. They would have to lie
to utter it.

A Question, A Reflection,
- A PRAYER

Did Jimmie of the Ferry ever
move to dis-allow one of Supt.
Norton's mileage" bills? AS a
member Of the executive COM
mittee of the state insurgent or
ganization and as one of the
most active local organizers Of
that faction, he has pleased the
little boss, and of course his bills
were allowed.
Apostles and prophets of good
government, forsooth! Shades
of reformers awaken. Come
forth among men and obsess
those who take thy name in vain.
Quicken their consciences and
add to and strengthen the gray
matter in their brain. Surcharge
them with thy spirit, TO the end
that they may be either killed
or cured, and thine will be the
glory. Amen.

A Little Modest

In last weeks Inter-Ocean we
wrote a sketch of Representative
Davis, in which we gave him
credit for organizing the north
ern townships of Ramsey county.
Mr.. Davis informs us that he
should not have so much credit
as given him; that he only assist
ed in that work. We gladly make
the correction. We relied for
our information upon those whom
we could find among the older
settlers, and they seemed more
willing to give Mr.. Davis credit
than he is to take it.

Davis as Seen by Others

We quote from the "Crary
Public Opinion, the paper that
obtained the Ramsey county pub
lie printing and which was made
one Of the official papers Of the
county by Mr.. JAS. Mel ormick's
vote, the following paragraph to
show how Mr.. Anderson, the
editor, and brother of the pres.
ent States Attorney, esteems
Mr.. Davis and his public re-
cord. Mr.. Anderson saws:
''The fight that is being made
against Geo. w. III. Davis as a
candidate for the legislature, is
not one that will cause him to
lose any votes. It will on the
other hand make HIM more
friends. Mr.. Davis has a clean,
honest record at home in local.
affairs, and the attempt to hurt
him has failed. If the people
elect Mr.. Davis, Ramsey county
will be at the front right from
the start, and will have a leader
OF whom they need not be
ashamed. " Could any man have

Go Early; Vote Strong

We most sincerely hope that
every voter who possibly can will
register his convictions in the
ballot next Tuesday. There will
be no caucuses, no convention.
The primary election dominates
the candidates. Go early and
vote a strong ticket. Then 90
out and hunt up your less inter-
ested neighbor. and persuade
him to vote. And let your votes
be against hypocrisy and in
the interests of those who have
given the state a good admin
istration

Get Off The Ticket

The present States Attorney of
Ramsey county has held that
office three terms six years. He
is criticised severely in many
circles for his lack of courage,
and, in fact, for his lack Of re-
gard for his oath OF office. which
binds him to enforce the law.
Should Ramsey county tolerate
such conduct in one of it's Off
ers? The Inter-Ocean thinks
not. If Mr.. Anderson would
like to know upon what we base
