The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-03-29
THURSDAY EVENING. MARCH 20. 1906


and determined in favor Of Mr.. Din
ME; he has ignored the gift to the
harvester trust and has offered no
explanation thereof and his explain
ations and apologies upon the other
issues have been merely ridiculous
and filled with Misrepresentation;
the intelligence of the people of Grand
Forks, when applied 10 the gas Ques-
ton, has detected the hypocricy and
deceit OF Mr. Duis and that has turned
them against him.
The campaign of Mr. Dinnie stands
in refreshing contrast with that
waged by his opponents: he has stood
upon his record and has sent his
signed statement to the people of the
city of the platform upon which he
stands; the platform of Mr.. Duis is
one thing to one man, another to an
other man. and all things to all men:
the proverbial flea is as slow as mol
asses by comparison.
The last gun of the Duis campaign
has now been fired and it, like the
others. has been filled merely with
filth and deceit
In an attempt to mislead the voters
democrats and assistant democrats
are now going into Mysteries over
state campaign yet six months in the
future.
Their position now is that the
voters of the city should ignore the is
sues of Importance to them in the
city and should accept us truth the
charges made that Mr. Dnnie is seek
ing election that he may prostitute
the city to the efforts and purposes of
state ring.
Upon this issue Mr.. Dinnie, as upon
all others, stands upon his record and
an incident yet fresh In the minds, of
the people is fair indication of Mr..
Dinnie's position. In the capital COM
mission fight Mr.. Duis took no part;
the records may be searched in vain
to find his name therein or any money
contributed by him to protect the in
terest of the people; the Herald con-
uibuted no money and did nothing
and that issue cost them nothing more
than lead pencils and paper.
Mr.. Dinnie, however, did in that mat
ter as he has in every other in which
the interests of the people have been
involved; he contributed his own time
and money to defeat the proposed
measure. He visited the capitol
more than once to investigate into
existing conditions and employed, and
paid his own money for, attorneys to
have the law set aside. The efforts
of the so-called reformers would have
amounted to nothing had it not have
been for the action taken by Mr.. Dinnie
because the original proceedings
brought in that litigation did not con-
template nor ask the setting aside OF
the law; it was under the amended
petition and the points raised by the
attorneys employed by Mr.. Dnnie that
the law was set aside
There is, however, another aspect in
which this question may be solved
Mr.. Sorley, an assistant democrat
in the past and at the present time.
says that he can not support Mr.. Din
ME because the latter refused to
promise his support to the Herald in
the state campaign. Mr. Sorley has
at least been frank in the matter and
is entitled to credit therefor; he has
accurately stated the Herald's posi-
ton.
Mr.. Dinnie has consistently refused
to permit the interest of the people
OF Grand Forks to be prostituted by
involving them in state campaign
| elLner 1Or or against any faction in
state politics and because Mr.. Duis
is believed to be a willing tool the
Herald and it's followers are support
ing him.
The intelligence of the voters will
readily detect the true situation and
their votes will be cast upon this, as
upon the other issues of the campaign,
in favor of Mr.. Dinnie.
