Some time

And fit.

In all
The ages past

On
This project vast;
Have mounted
Sail
On bamboo light
And. bafied,

That some day they
Would rise and plow

Chronicle firmly believes that he

date ut the last election and was
defeated by about Is votes. In

ed Il votes out of a total of 81.
He did not decide to enter the
contest until after the primaries

he was not known. His showing
at the last election Was very
crrditablc one and as soon as the
present campaign opened MIR.
OlS"n> friends urged him to
enter again. this time in the
primaries. and ut the present
time it appears that ht will have
easy sailing.
Mr.. Olson is Il young man
about 80 wears OF age: was born
in Sweden where he spent his
boyhood days. lie came to-
America in 1893 and made his
home ut Duluth until the fall of
1895 when he went to North

THE Medora Herald hi,

THE Medora Herald has in
creased its campaign editorial
staff by the addition of W. A.
Young who is adding his little
mite toward knocking lion. A. l..
Martin and boosting the Near
Ferris Nelson bunch. Mr.. Young
was formerly editor of the Beach
Chronicle which he disposed of
some months ago to j. w. Brin-
ton. selling his plant. business
and good will for -, 300, and
then came out in his last issue of
that paper and stated that he
would start rival paper. but
found that Mr.. Brinton would
not stand for Il such violation of
contract. and had to take back
water. Now he is getting the
:Medora Herald to publish his
lampoons. lie says he visited
over 200 Golden Valley farmers
lust week and found all red-hot
Ferris boomers. 1t is to laugh.
What jolt this poor misguided
brother will receive when the
election returns are in and he
finds that his Ferris boomers

equal, the farmers of the Golden
Valley are too wise to send an
inexperienced man to fill SO i'm

chase, is one of the candidates for the
republican nomination for states attor-
ney of Billings county, it is eminently
fitting that short history of his life be
given. MIR. Purchase is an old resi-
dent of the state, coming from James
town on April s. 1879, while Dakota
was Vet aterritory His parents locat-
ed ON a tract Of land four miles north
of Jamestown and he assisted with the
farm work. On October IL, 1870,
while hunting, the shot gun burst and
so lacerated his right hand that it had
tt, he amputatetl. There was no sur
geon at Jamestown in those days and
it was necessary to go to Bismarck,
where the services of DR.. W. A. Bent
~ were secured.
After farming for number of years
MIR. Purchase concluded that in his
manned condition he was working at
disadvantage and accordingly took
up the study of law with Judge Rose of
Jamestown. After being admitted to
the bar this state on April 7, 1850, a
law partnership was established under
the firm name of Purchase & Rose,
which proved very successful. Dur
ing his practise at Jamestown, MIR.
Purchase served four years as police
judge of that city and also served
Stutsman county as justice Of peace,
in this capacity receiving the endorse
ment of both the republican and demo-
cratic parties. He also acceptably
filled the position Of United States
commissioner for the state of North
Dakota.
In April. 1903, Mr.. Purchase acted
upon thu. advise ot Horace Greev and
moved west, locating ut Sentinel Butte.
this county. After practising law there
three years he came to Beach two
years ago and has been citizen of
this place since that time He has
erected a residence north Of the track
and is doing his share to further the
interests of Beach and Billings county.
MIR. Purchase has practised law in
this state for nineteen years and is fully
qualified to represent the peoples in
terests as states attorney of Billings
county. He has always lahored to
promote tn. interests of the farmer
and tax payer, mas been life long
republican and can be relied upon to
fill the office of states attorney to the
satisfaction of all. He asks YOUR con-
