NORTH DAKOTA EXHIBIT

In this issue of the Herald will be found the
nouncement of R. w. Main as a candidate for the
office Of Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor.
During the % years that Mr.. Main has been resi-
dent of the state he has been directly and indirectly
connected with work harmonizing with that Office
first in the early settlement of the state with the
emigration department of the Great Northern Ry,
and later in collecting and preparing exhibits to be
used by the emigration agents of the transcontinent
al lines entering the state and also in collecting ex
hbits especially for real estate firms thruout the
state and finally in the installation of the North Da
kota exhibits at the worlds fairs at St. Louis in 1904
and the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland in
1905.-Cando Herald
He is not politician in the narrow sense of the
term, but resembles in this respect Sec. Wilson Of
the Department Of Agriculture Mountain
Star.
The party will look long while before they find
more able and competent man for this Office
Churchs Ferry Sum-
Having particular qualifications fer the office, he
will undoubtedly receive large vote in this part of
the state-Rolla Herald
The office Of Commissioner of Agriculture be-
sides being an important office in ITSELF is especially
important on account of the fact that the Commits
sioner is member Of the State Board Of Equaliza-
ton. In Capt Main the state would have man
who would vote and work for just equalization Of
taxes -Starkweather Times.
We venture the remark that in the razzle dazzle
Of politics. and Of the different candidates announced
for the high and low positions in both parties, there
is no candidate more deserving, based his ability
and qualifications, to satisfactorily fill the position
than Capt. r. w. Main Of Cando, N. D., candidate
for Commissioner Of Agriculture and Labor.-Hans-
boro Pioneer.
The Republicans are fortunate in having candi-
date for Commissioner Of Agriculture and Labor,
who has not only state but also national reputa
ton.-Steele County Tribune.
