REP. MEETING
Continued from page ole4l

OE SOOG majority.
Edgar Anderson, of the Crary Public
Opinion, said that he believed every
the entire ticket The party made a
bad mistake in having the past fac
tional strife, they realize it and are
going to rectify it. He said that be-
fore election the democrats would
come around and beg the republicans
for votes and after election they would
throw their influence to the democratic
party to elect other democrats. Mr..
Burke is a good man, but we have
as good man on the republican ticket
and are not called upon to support
democrat The republicans should
vote their ticket straight and get hack
| into the position that we should be.
The state committee should make
special effort to carry Ramsey county
strongly and if Mr.. Johnson does not
get a good strong majority in this
county it is the fault of the republi-
cans themselves. ,
At this point the question OF speak
ers for the coming campaign was
talked of and it was stated that it was
expected that Senators Beveridge,
Hopkins. Nelson and other prominent
speakers of national repute would Wis
it North Dakota
Judge Cowan was called upon and
stated that this is momentous occa-
sion for both our county and state 1t
behooves us as republicans to fit our
selves for the. battle that is on. am
we'll satisfied that the republican par
ty has. nothing to fear. l have been
over a good deal of the district and
have made careful inquiries and find
that there is no feeling like there was
two years ago. Everything points to
| big republican victory. This year
the republicans are ready for a fight;
men that two years ago were fighting
our party are today fighting for it
openly. l am a firm believer in the
newspapers of the state, they are the
bulwark Of the party and should be
better cared for than they are. 1t is not
my intention to make myself obnox-
ious, but l am republican and if any
one comes to me for advice they will
get good republican doctrine If we
will bit get up the proper enthusi-
aam and let the democrats know we
are after them they will take to the
woods.
Milt Crary, of the Edmore Herald
News, said that the ground had been
covered well and there is no doubt but
that if we carry the county for John
son this year it will take lots of work
I to do it We have a good candidate
for governor and if we talk and work
for our own candidate we should win
out. believe that 95 peg cent of the
republican papers OF the state are
pushing for the whole ticket from top
| to bottom.
! Mr.. Sherman, of Cando, gave as his
impression that the republicans would
win in his county and gave few fig
i ures in substantiation of his belief.
Two years ago Mr.. Burke carried the
county by about 200 votes. In the pri-
mary Mr.. Burke got about $50 votes,
Mr.. Johnson over 400 and Mr. Twitch.
ell 266 and there were Is republicans
voted for Mr.. Burke on their ballots.
This showed vote of some $40 repub.
ifcan votes as against 1872 democrats
The sentiment expressed has been very
favorable to c. "A. Johnson. The local
candidates are all strong men and are
hustlers and it is expected that we
| viii carry the whole ticket in Novem.

r Mr.. Van Osdel, of Edmore, stated
that he found the sentiment at this
! time considerably different than it was
two years ago. We have lot of good

+ Geo. Mclean, Of Edmore, could no,
see any reason why the ticket would
