RICHARD PENDRAY.


North Dakota is almost exclusively
an agricultural state and the farm
Interests are the rain interests on
which pend the growth of our pop
nlation and the. success of others who
live in the towns and earn a iveli-
hood in the various walks of life.
One Of the oldest residents of the
county is Richard Pendray, who re.
sides on his farm southwest OF
ia mestown. He has won tile re-
spect Of his neighbors also in a wide
acquaintance throughout the county
during the years he has resided here,
buffeting with Ill fortune in the hard
years and enjoying the prosperous
seasons in the good years, taking the
good and bad together philosophical
ly, gradually getting forehanded and
becoming a citizen whom all can de-
pend upon to serve we'll, his 'constit-
uants in any official capacity. Mr..
Pendray is reader and thinker, a
man interested in improved methods
of farming. He attends meetings Of
farmers institutes, keeps posted on
the progress Of movements through
out the country that are intended to
promote the interests of the farming
class; is man of com mon sense and
energy. He has been one of the loyal
republicans Of the county, always
standing with the organization Of
| the party in the state believing,
that through the forces which con-
stitute this great political organiza-
tion the best interests not only of
North Dakota, but Of the Union are
to be fostered. If Mr.. Pendray should
be elected TO the legislature, and
there is little doubt but what he vii
be the choice Of voters as one of the
members, no mistake will be made
for he will "make good" in whatever
line of euty he is required to per-
form.
WILLIAM SINCLAIR.
Candidates for the House of Rep
resentatives in this county are found
who reside in widely separated parts
of this county. One of these, William
Sinclair lives along toward the west
ern border in Mt. Pleasant township.
| Mr.. Sinclair is candidate for sec
ond term, and the fact that .he is a
candidate for another term is an in
dicatjon that he made good in the
| trst term. Mr.. Sinclair has 10 ade a
home IN the western part of the
county and he has resided there
many years. He knows the condition
of the farming community in which
he resides, the needs Of the settlers
and his experiences Jas member of
the House during one session will be
worth. something If he should be sent
there again. He was popular with
is fellow members, and won the re-
spect OF all with whom lie came in
contact by steadily adhering to the
policy that.he believed was approved
by his neighborssand by the people
of the county generally; and in the
absence of any criticism and in the
general satisfaction at his Candidacy
for another term, lies the best evil
dence that should he be elected he
will be the right man lin the right
placa.
FRANK SQUIRE.
The eastern part Of the county has
a republican candidate for a member
of the House. He comes from Spirit
wood and is one of the older residents
Of the county. Frank Squire is a
new name in the list Of candidates fer
official positions of any kind. He has
never been before the people as
candidate for an Office, having attend
ed strictly to the farm, successfully
wrestling with the hard problems of
learning a livlihood and getting ahead
on the North Dakota prairies. He
has resided in the county nearly 30
years, is republican in politics, q
good neighbOr and man who knows
what the farmer wants In the way Of
practical assistance and encourage
ment as far as q legislature can secure.
At the same time Mr.. Squire is broad
enough and sensible enough to realize
that there are other interests that
need fostering and II he is elected as
Q member Of the legislature there win
