Burleigh r. Spalding for many
years has been recognized as one
of North Dakota's most prominent
public men. He has served the
people Of this state two terms in
congress where he was recognized
as one Of the able and leading men
of that body. Two years ago he
was appointed by Governor Burke
to ill the vacancy in the supreme
court by reason Of Judge Engrud's
resignation. His appointment per-
haps gave more general satisfac-
ton thruout the state than any
other appointment made by Gov
ernor Burke. He is generally re-
cognized by the bar as an able law
yer and Of that peculiar temper
ment necessary to complete the
qualifications Of an ideal Judge.
He has made good on the bench
and will undoubtedly be reelected
by a large majority.

noblest and kindest Of hearts. He
never did a mean or unkind thing,
and perhaps no man who ever lived
was more helpful to others. Ii he
had possessed the literary skill to
put into fitting words the thoughts
which struggled with him for
expression, he would have been a
great writer and a great historian
of the Missouri river. -. He was
passionately devoted to wild life,
to observation Of natural things
wild birds and animals and Indi-
ans-and many of his observations,
ideas and feelings he set down in
writing"

do not put their shoulder to the
wheel and do a little boosting, it
is useless for the editor to try and
boom things. He can write "boom'
articles until he gets old and gray
bearded, but if'the citizens them
selves do not take hold and push,
the town will forever stick in the
mud. OF what use is it for the
local paper to suggest improve
ments and new enterprise if tie
suggestions are not acted upon?
One man cannot boom a town.
It requires the concerted action cf
the citizens. When one man
shoulders a town and attempts to
carry it, there is always a lot Of
cranky kickers ready to jump on
top of the load to weight it down.
Unit Of action is what will accom-:
plish permanent results.

FRIDAY, MAY Is, 1908.

In speaking about or reviewing
the contests in the various county
conventions, Mclean, Eddy, Dick
ey and Rolette we would observe
that they all had instructions from
the Mckenzie Little machine to
bolt even though they had but one
delegate to do it with.
In Dickey county, for instance,
there were 101 delegates to the
convention, 100 of these stood
solid as anti-M cKenzie-L Little men.
Their one lone man walked out
and put up a delegation himself
which is now before the conven-
ton at Minot. All Of which shows
that it could be no surprise what
yer in Mclean county after
thousands of dollars had been
scattered through the county to
defeat the regular republican party,
to have a boiling delegation with
such men at it's head as Lamb,
Macomber, Gibson, Staley, O'Hare,
Charley Billows and a few more.
and so these wonderful men were
able to get up a contesting dele
cation on the plan designated by
their chiefs.
While it may be true that these
gentlemen intended to serve their
masters, Mckenzie and Little,
faithfully and give value received
in this case, we fear that their
efforts have been so futile that
their employers may be obliged to
dock their wages somewhat, and
the crown of gold which they were
promised may be withheld until
such time as they can demonstrate
their ability to do a better job.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-05-15

The editorial in the Wilton
News concerning the action of the
county central committee in depos-
ing Mr.. Macomber from the chair
manship can hardly be regarded
as a fair presentation Of the matter
when the facts in the case are fully
considered.
We do not find that there is any
law for what Mr.. Hull says is so
clearly defined, but admit that
there will be under the primary
election law, not now.
At a former meeting of the
county central committee MI. Ma
comber was asked to resign with
IL to 10 against him. While this
was done merely in a friendly way
and was not imperative by any
means, yet it was certainly signi-
fcant and any man Of ordinary in
telligence would "take the hint"
It WIS supposed by the majority
of the people that he would "take
the hint" to such an extent as to
concede that the majority of the
committee should rule, and when
the county convention met to
gracefully and in a gentlemanly
manner step down just as Hon. f.
A. Williams did in Burleigh Coun-
ty without even being asked to do
80.
Had he done this he would have
been honored far more in Nc
Lean county as a gentleman and
statesman than he is today. Mr..
Macomber nor anyone else could
hardly hope to hold the respect Of
the people when the majority was
against him, and when he insisted
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-05-15

on staying whether wanted o not,
but had to be knocked out with a
club,-kindly "hints". having no
effect upon him.
As a matter of fact Mr.. Macon
Der did not represent Mclean
county anyway. He was placed
in this position of chairman by
Hanna and Mckenzie at the meet
ing of the state central committee
at Fargo, and from his late actions
which speak louder than words, it
is evident that he has represented
Mckenzie and Little rather than
Mclean county.
MI. Macomber or his friends
have not explained how it was that
he sent an insugent delegation to
the Grand Forks convention, or at
least endeavored to give the i'm
preston that he was doing SO by
giving his personal letter from
Marshall requesting an insurgent
delegation from Mclean county, to
delegates Lamb, Staley and others1
If Macomber is an insurgent then
he should stand by them. We had
supposed that he was a republican
and would be found supporting
his republican constituents when
the test came, but from the
methods he has pursued it looks
very much as though he were try
ing to keep on both sides of the
fence at the same time, and while
his proficiency and agility along
this line is quite remarkable, it
has not as yet become SO perfect as
to be undiscernable to a person
with a glass eye, 1t is therefore
no great wonder that some fault is
found with MI. Macomber when he
is thus endeavoring to support two
factions at the same time, with
such men as Lamb, Staley and
O'Hare as his lieutenants.
Had Macomber called the con-
vention a month earlier, as he
could easily have done, it would
have given an opportunity to get
out a full vote and a more definite
expression of the will of the people
but he delayed it until such time
when he knew the farmers we're
busy with seeding and could not
readily attend caucuses. His OBJ
ject in doing this is now apparent.
He wished to SO shape things that
a minority vote would control the
convention. He enlisted no one
in his favor but did succeed in in
spring antagonism throughout the
entire county.

OVER THE DIVIDE
John Perrin Passed Away after H.
ness of Several weeks.

After an illness of several weeks,
John Perrin of Roachton, passed
away on Wednesday morning, Aug.
II, 1908 at 9:l5 o'clock.
For the past three years, Mr. Perrin
has been in declining health but his
last illness was of very painful
nature, necessitating an operation
from which he seemed to rally and
had hope of complete recovery, but
later complications resulted fatally.
John Perrin was born near River
John, Nova Scotia, March 10, 1928,
and came TO Perrysburg at the age of
ten years. When the gold fever struck
California he started out to seek his
fortune in the then far west, and for
about fifteen years he lived in
California and British Columbia, re.
turning here after his family had
long supposed him to have perished
from the hardships inc dental to the
life of miner. But success had
crowned his labols and he returned a
prosperous man. After few years
residence in Perrysburg he purchased
farm at Roachton where he has
since resided and where he has a
charming country home surrounded
by many broad acres of Wood coun-
tvs most aluyial soil.
On December l6, 1891, he was
united in marriage with Miss Mae
Halbert of Haskins, who survives
him.
The funeral service will be held at
the family residence on Friday,
August II at | 80 o'clock, and the
burial at FIT. Meigs cemetery.
Besides his wife, he leayes one
brother, w. @. Perrin and sister,
Mrs Foster Pratt, of this county, and
other relatives, and large circle of
friends throughout the county mourn
the death of IA good and true man.
