SELECTING Committeeman
In the matter Of selecting of party central COM
mitteemen, there will be entirely new deal on &C.
count of the primary law, after June "a. Under the
primary law party committeeman to be selected
rs follows:
At the primaries the electors elect their precinct
committeeman in each precinct, the one having the
highest vote to be the chairman. The chairman OF
the respective precinct committees constitute the
county committee. These committees meet at the
county seat of the respective counties between
August and 10 and organize by the selection of
chairman, secretary, and treasurer. Each county
committee elects one member Of the state central
committee-one member of each legislative district
The state committee meets at Bismarck, the state
capital between the list and 10th of September and
organizes by the election of chairman secretary and
treasurer and this committee also promulgates and
publishes party platform of principles upon whica
the candidates shall stand.
This is about the time of the year when the roor
back gets busy. roorback is fellow who gets out
Just before caucus time and always has grievance
to be aired for the purpose of pulling tae wool over
the eyes of the farmers while he poses as their
friend Loot out for him. He has ak to grind
and wants to you for a selfish purpose. He
either wants Office for himself or a friend, or wants
to give some one dirty deal His object is to get
you to nelp him. When fellow of this kind comes
around just think back and remember what pub
lie philanthropist the party is and how he works tor
the farmers at other times than Just before the eau
GUS Men of this kind are ilibusters, rainbow
ehasers and have no use for voter except to use
him for vicious or undesegved purpose. ~,.
No stree, we write no letters to senator's and
congressman begging them to take of the tar1n on
wood pulp, so the publishers may get their paper
1T less price for their dear readers. For fifteen
years we have argued that the tariff should come
on all products made by the big combinations and
used by all the people, and regularly the men sent
to Washington have been showing how not to do It,
The publisher now gets his toes pinched good and
hard and he is the fellow who has been standing by
the party and the protection idea while the farmers
and the common people of the great interior have
been paying two prices for wire, nails, machinery
and other manufactured articles that shipped to
Europe and back and sold here as imports at lower
figures. We desire no special favors for the news
papers,-Steel Ozone.
