c. A. JOhnson's Certificate.

We note by the Daily Reporter
of Wednesday that it was neces.
sary for c. A. Johnson, a candi-
date for the nomination to the
legislature, to secure acertificate
of character, signed by three
prominent citizens of Minot.
Now this certificate is all very
nice, but in it the men who rec
ommend him fail to soate that a
year ago last February at a
mass meeting held in this city
Mr.. Johnson's constituents, de-
manded Of him that he use his
influence for agood primary cleo
ton law, and this he promises to-
do. Did he keep his word. If
you think he did, look at the
Journals OF the house and you
will see that he voted for Mcken-
zie's abortion OF a primary elec-
ton law. 1t seems to the INDIE
pendent that Mr.. johnson has
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. Is he a safe man
to send to the Legislature? We
believe not.

is simply made to hoodwink the
voters, to detract their attention
from the real issue, which is the
State Machine.
Reader, you are asked to note
carefully that Mr.. Blaisdell does
not state that he is against the
Mckenzie, Hansbrough and the
other state machine men; in fact
he refers TO them as little as pos
sible.
You voters remember how the
Blaisdell-AIcGahan outfit ordered
the third SIT Of ballots from a
printing house, an entirely wrong
BALLOT, and without a shadow of
authority, and that Former As
sistant States Attorney Greene
advised the county to pay $l040
for them, which was done. Mr..
Blaisdel! was careful not to refer
to this fact. and dare he deny
this one? The fights state wide,
and voter, you should work for a
pledged delegation.

STRAIGHT TALK
ABOUT GETTING WELL

when the doctor tells you you are
suffering with general debility. /"
We know of one remedy that
will correct these conditions and re-
store health-Rexall Mucu-Tone.
There is no need of technical
description of how Mucu-Tone on
going into the stomach is quickly
taken up in the digestive process
and, entering the blood, is carried
through the network of tiny cap
illaries and so is brought in direct
contact with the sore membranes.
NEW LIFE! NEW vIGOR!
What you-what all Of us-are
interested in is getting rid of the
pain we are suffering, in regaining
the strength we have lost, in re-
storing the vigor of youth, in fill
ing our arteries with rich, red
blood and building up our bodies
and in steadying our tagged nerves.
Rexalf Mucu-Tone does all of
this and does it quickly. There is
no long waiting for promised effects
to slowly make their appearance;
no months of deferred hope; no
realization that you have again
wasted money that you could i'll
afford to lose; no final despair.

The above communication was
received by the Independent
from Mr.. Blaisdell, who evident

vertising rates. This by the way
we refused to accept. To the
above we have very little to say,
but to every fair minded man we

Magdalen Roenicke spoke on
''The Ideal Education" This
GRAFTON was carefully written
and nicely delivered. Il
''The Man Who Dares'' was
the subject OF Vernon Stenersen's
grafton. The young man shows
excellent oratorical ability and
puts his whole soul into his sub
ject. The CRATER was given a Sc
we're drubb;ng. He hitright anu
left not caring who was struck,
nor in what manner. He refer
red to Wanamaker and Field as
the type Of business men who
succeed. They were men who
daredto project. That Russia was
given a licking such as she will
never forget because the little
Japs were fearless and determ-
ined to die rather than yield. He
believes that a term in the peni-
Tertiary is too good for the
CRATER and lauded such men as
Folk and Jerome for the part
they were taking in bringing the
grafters to time. The address
was most appropriate for this is
the age OF exposing all manner
and forms Of graft games and
bringing the perpetrators to Jus.
tice.
Miss Jessie AIiddaugh spoke on
"Sobs and Sorrows, Smiles and
Laughs Her Grafton was full
of good advice, which if anyone
would follow, we would have a
better and a happier world.
Miss Dorothea Tangedahl gave
the class history and prophecy
in a witty ENJOYABLE manner.
The audience was kept in a con.
tinual uproar OF laughter by her
bright remarks.
The class was then presented
by the superintendent, S. Henry
Wolfe. who deserves great credit
for the success of the occasion.
President L. A. Larson then
presented the diplomas after
Atty. Arthur LeSueur
awarded the Reighart medal to-
Vernon Stenersen, the one who
had the highest averages for the
past year which were go, SO per
cent. Mr.. Stenersen won out by
but one-half Of one per cent.
The medal is a beautiful Elgin
gold watch. Each year Mr..
Reighart presents some sort Of a
valuable gold medal.

FEEBLE ATTEMPT
To Detract the Attention of the
Voters From the Main State
Machine lssue=--Forgets to
Tell Some Important Facts.

Minot, N D., June 6, 1906.
Editors of the Independent, Nj
/ not, N. D.
Gentlemen:-R Referring to your
article in last weeks issue Of the
Independent, entitled 'Blais-
dell Says It Will Take Work. l
beg to inform you that same is
duly appreciated. and ! am glad
to reiterate my certain statement
referred to by you in your valua-
BILE paper. It certainly will take
work to protect the loyal and reg
ular republican voters from the
duplicity and deceit Of a Good
Government League, ANTI
machine" or Reform move
ment, headed by Major Murphy
and other republicans(D do
not leave out this question mark,
because I am willing to, and am
hereby rendering you sufficient
money, out Of my own pocket, to
pay for this article at the usual
rates.
Major Murphy, Ex-Judge Pal
da, Ex-County Commissioner
Wallin, Ex-County Treasurer
Williams, and other prominent
"Exs," must admit that they
were instrumental in having Ex-
County Auditor Larson two years
ago refuse to place the regular
republican nominees on the bal
lot until compelled to do so by
the supreme court. am not
touching on the great expense
this occasioned, but l would like
to ask if this was a loyal republi-
can act? Did not a number of
those members of the so-called
Murphy faction, are who are
now the "Reformers'' of the so
called Good Government League,
run INDEPENDENTLY, and on
the democratic ticket? Was this
a loyal republican act? l am not
going into personalities, but facts
There is no objection that l know
of, to Major Murphy or his fol-
lowers, being anti-machine. Of
course, he attempts to brand us
as machine" men, but so far as
I know, l am positive that not
one single man on the regular re-
publican, or re-organizers, set of
delegates has ever been, directly
or indirectly, approached as to
what stand he should or would
take in the state convention.
Perhaps some of them are an
ti-Murphy. It would not sur
prise me in the least. I firmly
believe that all Of the delegates
will be Anti-Murphy, or anti-ma-
chine, or gang rule. They GER
tainly will not subscribe" or
pledge themselves in writing to
anybody. as is openly admitted
with the other delegation.
Yours very truly,
ALFRED BLAISDELL.

If this was the only medicine
advertisement in this newspaper,
we believe you would quickly try
a bottle of our Rexall Mucu-Tone.
But you have read the extravagant
claims Of so many marvellous medi-
cines that you have grown skeptical.
Let US reason with you mo-
ment.
We say to you positively and
without reservation that we have
never before known a tonic or
catarrh cure to accomplish the re-
suits worked by Mucu-Tone. 1t
is scientific, meritorious, reliable
remedy. We know how it is COM
pounded, and we unhesitatingly
give it our Understanding only
our endorsement, but our guarantee.
If you try a bottle of Rexall
Mucu-Tone and are not thoroughly
satisfied with it, We will refund
your money promptly, cheerfully
and without any red tape.
Now, we can't afford to allow
such strong statements to be print
ed in our advertising space unless
ne know ne are right. If we de-
ceived you in this advertisement,
we would lose your confidence and
your trade-and we don't spend
money in advertising for the pur-
pose of losing trade.
SOME OF OUR REASONS.
Let US give you some of our
reasons for talking SO earnestly
about Rexall Mucu-Tone.
You know that our bodies are
lined with a thin, web-like skin
called the mucous membrane. 1t
begins in the nose and mouth and
extends down the throat through
the stomach, intestines and blad-
der. 1t also covers the liver and
kidneys; and in women, the pelvic
organs.
Now this membrane is COM
posed of millions of tiny cells
filled with a fluid called mucous,
which is sort of lubricant for the
various organs. If a few Of these
cells should become choked- up
and unable to supply this fluid, it
would cause sickness; if most of
them were so affected it would
cause death.
WHAT 1T MEANS TO BE "RUN
DOWN."
This is what causes the state of
i'll health and weakness which ex-
