he did at the primaries he is elected |
and we have every encouragement
that he can. We have a good head to |
the national ticket, no revolt, ticket !
picked by the people, with no faction
feeling humiliated. 1 feel very hopeful |
and cheerful, as 1 never was in a fight
where the republicans stood as good a
show as at: the present time.
Mr.. Hall stated that Mr.. Kennedy
had stated that the newspapers of the
state were the strongest factor in the
welding of public sentiment and Mr..
Kennedy wished to assure the news
paper boys that they would all be
given a square deal at the hands of
the republicans, regardless of former
factional lines.
O. P. N. Anderson, of Starkweather,
stated that as near as he could esti-
mate sentiment was Overwhelmingly
for c. A. Johnson for governor. Con-
ditions in this state are not parallel
with those of Minnesota, as the demo-
Gratis are trying to make out, as the
candidates in this state were elected
under the primary law. in which all
the party had voice in the selection
and that Mr. Johnson being thus selec-
ted will receive the support of the peo-
pie who selected him as a candidate.
A large number of those who support
ed Burke two years ago are at this
time openly supporting Mr.. johnson.
Mr.. Nelson, of southern Rollette
county, stated that Rollette county
would probably be the banner Burke
county of the state, he having lived
| there number of years and being
well known, but at the primaries the
republican nominees received a very
f1attering vote and If ; Mr.. Johnson
4 could carry the same vote at the gen.
eral election that he did at that time
he would carry the county. This con.
dition is'expected and besides this it
is expected that he will carry most OF
the votes that went to TwitcheI at the
primary election and with this vote
! Mr.. johnson will be carried through
in good shape. * X a2r7 z l3H. ~ !, -, q '-a
