The Result In Mclean Go.

The Leader cOngratulateS the re.
publican voters in Mclean county
upon the result of the election
The regular organization republi.
cans have won by a good majority
through the county and the regu-
lar delegates have been elected in
the county to the state convention
The issue in the primary fight was
clear and plain. The regular dele
gates stood for the denomination
Of Governor Sarles and the indorse-
ment of the state administration
and the representatives Of the state
in congress. The insurgent dele
gates stood for the interests of a
little clique of disappointed office
seekers and ex-oftice holder and
were allied with the elementin the
state that is opposed tothe present
administration and has been work
ing to disrupt the republican party
in the state. The regulars de-
clared their platform and the in
surgents platform was well known
SO there can be 10 doubt Of the
issue and the regulars have won, so
that Mclean county declares for
the denomination OF Gov. Sarles
and Endorsement Of the state adj
ministration.
In the county contest, the regu-
lars have won in nearly every in
stance aud the republican nomi-
nees for the most part good men,
who will have the interests Of the
county at heart. The affairs Of
the various departments will be
we'll managed, and the voters have
declared for regular methods and
against the tactics Of a few dis
gruntled Office holders and office
seekers who seek to break up the
party for their own interests.
Lamb is defeated and may cele-
brate his retirement from office
with the thought that after eight
years Of office holding at the hands
Of the republican party III this
county, he was defeated in an at
tempt to disrupt the party that
gave him SO many honors and so
much salary. McCulloch is a dis
credited leader who is out of it,
and the voters of the county will
not'again be deceived by the ambi-
tions of McCulloch to rule or ruin.
He will do neither. Beck has
worked for his own interests above
and the German voters will re-
member him when the. time comes.
The result shows that the ma
jority of the people are to-. be
trusted and that they cannot be
deceived by men with grievances
seeking to profit by betraying the
party that has honored them.
A letter from a German voter of
this county published in this is
sue of the Leader shows what the
German voters think of the result.
They realize they have been de-
ceived and they know the men who
have thrown them down. They
have read the election returns and
the lesson in them have proven
what the Leader said some time
ago, that selfish men were seeking
to make use Of the German vote
to their own ends. Another time
time these would be leaders will
get short shrift when they seek to
split up the German vote and use
it to their own advantage.

Mail Order Houses Sell Impure
Food.

Food.
The state dairy Inspector Of Wis
consin finds the mail order houses
the greatest menace to pure food
in that state, and what is true in
Wisconsin is true in North Da-
kota. In an address, Inspector
Moore said:
"Mail order houses are the
greatest enemy we have to fight in
protecting the people Of Wiscon.
sin from impure foods. If adulter.
ed goods are sold within the state.
we can arrest the offender and may
stop the practice, but we have no
way to reach the mail order house.
which situated outside of Wiscon-
sin, fills order from this state and
sells adulterated articles of food.
That is interstate commerce.
When you buy foods, or anything
entering into foods, from the mail
order houses, you take chances.
Don't do it. Buy at home. Select
a reliable dealer and buy honest
goods from him at a fair price and
be led away by cheaper prices
offered by acompetitor who can
cut prices perhaps by giving
you authorizations and limitations"
Who would have thought it?
After all the kicking we have
heard in the past about North
Dakota being SO dry, Gin the arid
belt" and "a land where it seldom
rains" ETC., we hear Of people from
Iowa and Minnesota returning to
their former homes in those states,
because they could not
go out from Dickinson to see the
country on account Of excessive
moisture. Those who exercise a
little patience and go out to view
the land appear to be satisfied and
to have no kick coming Record
or,
Look at the condition Of the
working man today; where is he?
The timers are continually going
to the spout; the plumbers IRE al
ways in the gutter; the paper
hangers are up against the wall;
bakers are compelled to raise the
dough; the policeman has to be on
the beat to live; the shoemakers
have to work on the uppers and
get waxed in the end; the clock
makers run on tick and are never
on time; wash woman is always in
the soak and she is the only one
you see hanging on the line.-Ex.
Members of, the state national
will hold their annual en-
at Fort Russell. Wyom-
ing this year. The matter was de-
fnitely settled last night when
Sarles who is attending
the meeting Of the shriners re-
ceived a telegram from the war de-
partment at Washington stating
that arrangements had been made
to have the two North Dakota in
battalons go into camp with
the regular troops OF Fort Russell
from Aug. 5 to II.

fortunate If the same board consents to
