DURING the last twenty years and
more George Winship. Of the Grand
Forks Herald. has been the chronic
croaker OF the republican party Of
this state. Every man who doesn't
come to the front and join with him
IN forming machine that will put
him In power is classed by the Herald
as dishonest and unworthy. While
processing to be a republican, he never
has kind word for any republican
leader OF officer il such person happens
To stand in the way Of his ambition.
u Is tine thing for the state that
the leaders OF the republican party ia
North Dakota, backed by the votes Of
republicans at the primaries have
been strong enough to prevent this
constitutional old lackcapper from
either getting into once or turning
the state over to his allies, the demo.

because Of 1.-The Linton newspaper

has lost the confidence Of most people,
In political as we'll as in a business
say, and that his depleted wad will
not allow him to tea up the boys to
the same extent that he did Ia the
last campaign, the gentle and peace
loving creatures who thought IL was
all right for the Advodate to Insult
and misrepresent tile editor Of the
Record while he was attending to his

and that they had no other amtnuni-
ti0n with which to assault the msu

The fact is that at the request Of

cal situation In South Dakota that Is
20 applicable to Affairs In North Da.
kota that We republish II:
President Roosevelt is not only y
staunch republican, but there is also
abundant evidence that lie Is . firm
believer in party organization. 1t Is
safe to say that no man or faction can
make Roadway with him In opposition
to party organization unless It can be
demonstrated that such organization
is corrupt aud responsible for placing
bad men in office. The federal ap-
pointmentS In South Dakota have
been remarkable for their cleanliness,
and no attempt is known to have been
made ut the White House to reflect
on the honesty or competency OF the
state officials. Unless the regular Or.
9anization in South Dakota shall be
scandalized by lapse in civic vir-
tue. the president will not be- inter.
ested in any squabble which pertains
simply to personnel contest be-
tween the outs and the sins, simply
as such. Such politics does not
appeal to Mr.. Roosevelt. When he
turns against party organization in
any state, some, and usually many,
substantial reasons exist-real evils,
which cannot be corrected otherwise.

against the 'ins' has familiar
