not propose to be dominated by
any political boss, or to be corrupt
ed by the money-barrel of the cor
porations. They are standing on
their rights as free American citi-
zens, uncontrolled by selfshness
and greed, and under our primary
law each man is a delegate when
he goes in his booth and votes. This
is invariably the case where the
people read and seek to know the
real situation and the merits Of any
particular cause, and the people Of
this county are to be compliment
ed upon their insight and good
judgment lately exhibited in mat
tiers pertaining to the political
campaign now on, and we do not
doubt but that this education will
become more general as time adj
vances until all will come to see
that their interests are directly op-
posed to that Of the big money
powers with their advocates and
representatives.
Let the good work go on.

praise Hansbrough. It was Hans
brough who got him his job at
Washington and later his present
position, and Jewell feels grateful
for this and wishes to assist him,
but what can edo? Hansbrough
is certainly as good now as he was
when Jewell praised him, or'even
better for he has had more expert
ence and is therefore more capable
than before.
Jewell is a big-hearted man with.
a strong sense of right and justice.
He has a heart like an OK, and can
always be depended upon to do the
right thing if the Lord is willing
and the devil has no objections,
but he can't get away from those
So Tribune shares owned by Alec
and Little. Poor Jewell! He is
unquestionably a true man, honest
and conscientious and will stand

for him and gotten him his jobs
but, considering the position in
which.he is placed we sympathize
with him from the bottom of our

FRIDAY, MAY s, 1908.

In a late issue Of the Bismarck
Tribune Mr.. Jewell makes some
sighting remarks about the editor
of the Leader copying articles from
other papers showing the charac-
ter Of Alec Mckenzie and G. B.
Little. AS the Leader has never
criticised Jewell for copying arti-
cles we feel that such an attack is
rather discourteous and ill-timed.
Mr.. Jewell forgets that he (Jew-
ely copied recently from Major
Murphy's article on irrigation
against Senator Hansbrough. All
readers Of the Tribune will remem-
ber how loud it was in the praise of
Senator Hansbrough in his work
for irrigation some three or four
years ago, and now Jewell copies
an article on the same subject but
designed to belittle the work that
Jewell formerly praised. This, of
course, does not seem quite con-
sistent, but JEWELS attitude may
readily be explained as follows:
Out of each 100 shares of stock of
the Tribune, 50 shares, or a major
ity, is owned by Alec Mckenzie
and @. B. Little, hence Jewell is
obliged to work for the ones in
control. At heart he is just as
much for Hansbrough as the rest
of US. And why should he not be,
when for more than twelve years
he has been an appointive of
Hansbrough's and therefore knows
what Hansbrough has done for
him Individually, and also what he
has done for Burleigh county in
the shape of appropriations Of
100000 for the U. S. Military
post Of Ft. Lincoln and $4,000 for
the Indian school.
Yes, Jewell has our deepest SYM
pathy in his fruitless attempt to
serve two masters. The ffty.two
shares r too much for him, and
he is necessarily compelled to work
against his own best judgment and
in favor of Little. He also knows
that he is in a losing game if the
past is any indication of the fu-
ture, but he remembers those fifty
two shares and smothers his con-
science.
1t was clearly proven six years
ago that Burleigh county was for
Hansbrough as against Little and
the powerful organization of
the corporations. The sentiment
for Hansbrough in Burleigh coun-
ty is even stronger today than at
that time. No county has had
better treatment at the hands of a
representative in congress than
Burleigh: and so there is every
reason why the taxpayers should
be for Hansbrough.
On the other hand, there is
nothing meritorious that Mr.. Lit
tie has done to entitle him to rep
resent the state in the U. s. SEN
ate.
Jewell says that Little stands on
his past record, and we leave it to
any intelligent person who has
read his record recently published
in the Grand Forks Herald to,say
whether that record shows any
thing whatever done for the farmer
and common citizen, or was it
for corporations solely.
The candidacysof Mr.. LittleI6as
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-05-08

never been taken seriously in his
home town anyway. To be candi-
date for something is merely a habit
with him. He has been a standing
candidate for a quarter Of a CEN
fury. He has been a candidate
for something ever since he has
been here; not a strong one, to be
sure, but still a candidate. He
even uses the title Senator, but
we doubt somewhat his being
really entitled to its use, because
we remember that some years ago
a certain colored gentleman was
running against him in a political
campaign, and, it is commonly
reported. actually defeated him; the
vote in one precinct being 81 votes
for the colored man and l for Lit
tie. The colored man was counted
out" of course, and Little has been
wearing the title Senator" ever
since, but we think that under the
circumstances it may be unfairly
assumed.
Even if Little should have but
his own lonesome vote he would
still be a candidate. He knows
that when merit and actual good
accomplished are considered he
stands no show whatever, and in
his weakness and helplessness
rushes to the big Alec Mckenzie
FOR his protection and to stand at
his back and prop him up. 1t is
the same with the small and mex
perienced boy who invariably
admires and worships the big,
muscular buffer in preference to
the person of brains and intelli-
gence.
Little has always been Alec's
candidate and is put forward by
him today. Alec is employed by
and is working for the railroads
and other corporations, and he can
use a "little Teller" like G. B. be-
cause he is like putty in his hands
and will do just as he tells him.
That is how he got his record
hereinbefore referred to-he did
what Alec told him to do.
We read in certain papers that
they are very much pleased with
Little's candidacy. We presume
they mean they r pleased with
the checks which they receive, as
we haven't heard Of any voters who
expressed themselves as pleased.
The papers ought to be pleased
because this is their last chance,
and they are evidently taking adj
vantage of the Little fellows van
Meantime Little stands out
on the corner shouting, "Alec is
for me! Alec is for mel"
Six years ago, eight years ago
and ten years ago Little was the
SLOPE candidate same as now,
land will be a candidate as long as
he lives), and it was heralded all
over that the Slope was solid for
him, but when the smoke of battle
cleared away he did not have a
solitary vote. We wonder how it
will be this time. He has the
same persons and corporations
back of him now, and besides just
look at his record. We are of the
opinion that he tries to cover too
much territory. The other candi-
are for the state, but Little
is the "slope" candidate. This is
entirely too much territory for
such a small man, and we would
respectfully suggest that he reduce
his territory to the Fourth ward Of
Bismarck-as everybody knows he
can't carry his own ward, but his
old partner, Ed. Patterson, could
get on nicely and carry the Fourth
ward for him even at the point of
. gun, just as he did when the
gambler, Sanderson,. sat
on a ballot box with a gun to pro-

tin-horn gambler, Sanderson,. sat
on a ballot box with a gun to pro-
tect his interests, and when they
counted the ballots there was one
lone vote for Little. :
Our friend Jewell says that
when Alec goes after scalps he
will tackle chiefs and brave hearts. -
wonder if he means Alaskan
scalpsY We infer from this that
he actually does go after scalps,
and tackles ''chiefs and brave
hearts," How very commendable
this is! In going after Hans
brough he has tackled the bravest
heart that ever beat in North Da-
kota.

eddy cast his vote for Sen. Hans

II you have arranged for mid

present the subject for discussion;
If not, ! would be pleased If you
would call an extra session when
convenient, for the consideration of
this subject, and would suggest the
study also of the existing juvenile

We should bear in mind that we
have already committed ourselves to
the two great needs of our state
civil service law and local option
law, but it may be possible to ask for
an amendment on the subject Of the

plain to us, action will be the inev-
