The First Voter and His
Duty to I the State
and the Nation.

| There are hundreds, yes thousands.
of young men on the Missouri Slope,
new settlers many Of them, who will
cast their first vote this fall. The
youn man of today, having had the ad:
vantages, as most of them have, of a
common school education, has pretty
fair conception of affairs political. He
has read the history of his country. He
has heard the problems Of government
discussed. If native of this country
he was old enough and had the OPP
portunity of knowing the disaster
that fell upon this country during the
last democratic administration, national
and state. He will remember the
hard times and the Coxy army of I'M
employed. II from the city he will
remember the free soup resorts and
cheap lodging houses and the throngs
of half clad men who were forced to
accept of charity. The farmer will re.
member the impoverished condition Of
his exchequer--no demand for his
products, no value to his land Every
| working man was job hunter at
any price, and luxuries were almost
entirely denied.
What a change under republican
administration, with it's protective and
other enlightened policies. The job
now seeks the man. All are working
men; there are no idlers. The wage
is double, sometimes treble, what it
was when democracy had full sway.
The factories are working overtime
Great manufacturing plants are unable
to fill their orders. Some railroads
are actually declining more business
because of their inability to secure
men, and cars to transport freight.
The country is prosperous everywhere
and right in North Dakota-on the
Missouri Slope-land values are con-
stantly increasing, there is a good
demand for all products, towns are
growing up as if by magic, invest
ments are safe in almost any enter
prise and contentment abounds on
every hand.
Upon the young men of this country
will fall the responsibility of continu-
ing this happy state of affairs. To
them is being confided the destinies
of our nation and our homes. They
should not s!irk the responsibility.
Next Tuesday November 9th - the
first voter will have an opportunity
to enter upon his political career. 1t
is important that he should start right. ,,
He should show his appreciation of
republican policies and republican ad-
ministration in the casting of his
first ballot. That vote should be
straight, thus:-

The Leader desires to make this
last appeal to the voters of Mclean
county to turn out next Tuesday and
vote. 1t is very important that we
assert our power and attain the in
fiuence we are entitled to on our
population and vote. Here we are
with only one senator and two rep
resentatives in the legislature, when
this district has the largest republi-
can majority of any in the state.
This district has only one-third the
representation of some districts that
have not the voting strength we have.
The coming legislature makes new
apportionment and the republicans of
that body will control in it's consum-
nation. It behooves us to fortify
our members with the largest pos
sible vote for might makes
right" largely controls in matters Of
this kind. Go to the polls and vote
the straight republican ticket.

The Germans of Mclean county,
and there are many of them, will
consider it pleasure as well as a
duty, to go to the polls next Tuesday
and vote for John Knauf, the bright
and able attorney, for the supreme
bench. Mr.. Knauf is the only Ger
man on the republican ticket and it
is little strange that the democrats
should single him out for their most
vigorous opposition. A single mark

and nowhere else-not another
mark, just that one-will be vote
for Judge Knauf and the straight
ticket. ...

Frank Lynch LoYal

Just because number of re.
publicans differed with the views
of other republicans before the
primaries is no reason why they
should not be republicans after the
primaries, even if the other fellows
did win out. A good republican
is loyal to his party, even if he
does not subscribe to all of the
acts of the majority of the party
Senator Robert M. La Follette's
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for governor of Wisconsin
was defeated in the primaries and
his candidate for chairman of the
republican state central commit
tee was also defeated, but Mr.. La
Toilette is making speeches for
the ticket nominated by the ma
jority Of the republican in that
state.
Frank Lynch, prominent citi-
zen of Casselton and one Of the
leading republicans. was opposed
to the regular organization before
the primaries. He was elected a
delegate to the state convention
and the organization for which he
worked was defeated in the conven-
ton.
Did Mr.. Lynch leave the repub-
lican party because the other side
won at jamestown? Does he adj
vocate the election of the demo-
cratic ticket? Not he. He has
adopted a similar course to that of
La Toilette in Wisconsin, but he
has gone step further. Mr..
Lynch insists that he is as good a
republican as he ever was. He is
demonstrating his party loyalty in
an unmistakable manner. Mr..
Lynch accompanied Governor
Sarles to Page and yesterday was
with the governor again at Buffalo
and last night at Tower City,
working for the republican ticket
Mr.. Lynch believes it is his duty
to support the republican ticket
and to present solid front to the
democratic foe.- Fargo Call.

Republican
x

A single cross mark in. the little
square beneath the word "Republi-
cam" at the head of the ballot-and
nowhere else-votes the straight re-
publican ticket Such a vote will be
an endorsement of the wise and
patriotic administration of President
Roosevelt. 1t will be an endorsement
of Messrs. Marshall and Gronna, the
representatives in congress from
North Dakota who are pledged to sus-
tain the president and upon whom the
president relies for support. 1t will
be an endorsement of thorough, bust
ness administration of state affairs,
and in county matters conscientious
regard for the peoples rights and due
economy in all departments. 1t will
be an endorsement of the will of the
people as expressed at the primaries
in June and at the state convention in
July. It will be vote for fair play
and square deal for all. It will be a
vote against the knifer, the kicker, the
disappointed Office seeker and dis
gruntled politician. It will be an en-
dorsement of majority rule--the very
fundamental principle Of a repubM-
can form of government. Such vote
will be a rebuQue to the sophistries
Of the democratic campaigners who
are abroad in the land, and who are
vihfJng and disappearing the
leaders and the nominees of the re-
publican party.
The young man cannot afford to
shirk responsibilities If he is worthy
of the reward of party victory. Honor
and power will come to him who is
honest and consistent To knife a
party candidate who has been fairly
nominated--to vote against nominee
without good reasons not justifiable
from any consideration of party
ethics and as chickens come home to
roost' so will such tactics recoil upon
the head and to the disadvantage of
the guilty.
In this campaign 1t is extremely
important that full vote be cast that
this section Of the state may not fall
behind In power and prestige. In this
conflict the concentration Of the bat
teries Of the enemy on Governor
sarles and on Judge Knauf should be
resented by all true republicans.
Democratic opposition is to be ex.

The Bosses and Knauf.

At Hamilton, Attorney Wright
in his speech on the campaign is
sues, gave some inside information
regarding the nomination of Judge
Knauf at the jamestown conven-
ton. The Independent quote Mr..
Wright as follows:
"Mr. Wright than turned his at
tention to the state ticket and
Judge Knauf in particular, whom
he characterized as being eminent
ly fitted for the high position to
which he had been nominated
associate justice of the supreme
court. There was not a scientific
of evidence to support the charges
brought against him. The truth
of the matter was that Judge
Knauf is one of the really able
lawyers of the state, and that
where he is known his ability is
never brought into question.
Judge Engerude's bitter antagon-
ism, the speaker alleged, was per-
sonal. The question of the fitness
of candidate should rest with
those who are convetsant with his
qualifications, and in this case the
members of the bar in Judge
Knaufs home county are to a man
his most earnest and active sup
porters. His habits are clean, he
never CANDLES, nor does Know the
taste of liquor. He arose to his
present position from that of a
laborer on farm. He is a gradu-
ate of Ann Arbor and has prac-
ticed law since 1892. Judge Nor
gan and Knauf are now doing the
work of three men on the bench
owing to the refusal Of Judge
Engerud to perform the duties for
which he was elected.
....As to the forces that instigatetl
Judge Knauf's nomination, MI.
Wright said that the people in this
section Of the state, at least, were
harboring a false impression; that
Judge Knaut was not the candi-
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1906-11-02

AS election day approaches it is
more and more apparent that the op-
position to Judge Knauf is waning.
There never was any justification for
opposition from his own party, and
as the people become enlightened
and the unjust insinuations of the
democratic opposition become more
apparent, all opposition to John
Knauf, the young, able and conscien-
tious German, who will be an honor
to the bench OF this state, is vanish
ing.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1906-11-02

pected but for republicans to give aid
and comfort to the enemy is not
only traitorous but cruel and unfair
in the extreme. Governor Sarles has
applied the best business methods in
the conduct of the AFFAIRS of the state
ever adopted in this state. He has
been faithful and true to his party and
to all taxpayers of the state. He has
been governor one term. In all fair.
ness and without question he should
be endorsed by another term. Judge
Knauf, the nominee with Judge Nor.
gan for the supreme bench was the
choice Of the republican state con.
ventdon without dicker or bargain.
Every statement and every charge of
the enemy to the contrary are false.
1t was the younger element in the re-
publican state convention that in.
sisted on the nomination of John
Knauf. 1t is not true that the
corporate interests and their repre-.
sentatives were responsible for his
selections. These interested were
neatly in favor of democrat but they
could not round UP the enthusiastic
young republicans in that conyen-
tion on such proposition. The "old
fellows" fell in for Knauf-they did
not originate his candidacy. Any
statement to the contrary is absolute
ly false and leading insurgents who
were in that convention we'll know it.
And they know where all the railroad
attorneys in this state stood then and
they know where they stand now
against Judge Knauf This is fact
that cannot be denied
Judge Knauf is young mana
German and the only German on the
ticket-who has by hard work, by in
dustry and indomitable will forged to
the front. He has been active in
politics it is true, and that is to his
credit. He has been loyal republi-
can, and was an enthusiastic leader
Of the Young Mems republican league
of the state. He is a good lawyer
and has built up good practice. His
habits and his home life have been
exemplary. There is not a scintilla
of truth in the charges of his enemies.
He is entitled to the full support of
his party, the opinion of jealous and
envious attorneys to the contrary not
withstanding. Judge Knauf challenges
the admiration of the young men. He
is an example of what energy and
ambition will accomplish. Every
German voter should be proud of the
opportunity to vote for him-every
young man, every first voter should
esteem it a great privilege to endorse
him.
There has never been presented to |
the republican voters of this state a
ticket comprising cleaner, more repre-
sentative and more worthy candidates |
than the one that will be placed in
the voters hands next Tuesday, and |
the placing of mark in the square at
the head of the ballot under the word
Republican" will avoid all confusion,
will avoid all mistakes and will be
justifiabqe from all consideration of
fairness and proper party fealty.

date of the bosses or Of the corpo-
rations, but on the contrary was
vigorously opposed by them.
When Judge Young gave it out
that he was about to resign from
the bench a conference was held in
st, Paul with the result that Judge
Young was asked to withhold his
resignation until after the conven-
ton. Included in this conference
were the legal advisors of the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern roads. These men had agreed
upon successor, but Judge Young
refused to fall in line. What the
bosses wanted was to get in touch
with the state central committee,
but Mr.. Young stated, as he was
nominated and elected by republi-
cans he was in duty bound to re-
sign SO as to enable the convention
and nota handful Ct men, to name
his successor on the ticket. Ac-
cording to the speaker, the man
wanted by the corporate interests
was either CT the two democratic at
torneys whose names we're proposed
at the convention. If the machine
is subservient to special interests,
then it never met with worse de-
feat than when John Knauf was
nominated for the supreme bench.

J. Heath was yesterday convicted of
the crime of robbery in the first de-
gree. A jury was not summoned until
noon, but by nightfall the evidence of

tors who had watched the progress Of
the case had left the courtroom.
Heath, with William ,McEwan and
John Kelly, was charged by the grand
jury with the assault and robbery of
Martin V. Shaw, an aged man living
