ed to publish his platform. It is
a carefully prepared document anG
gives evidence OF much greater
care in its preparation than his
famous call for bids on the new
state capitol, and like Lieuteant
Governor Lewis, he now wants to
be "fair" to everybody, and be-
lieves that the farmers should have
correct grades, and after acting the
part of middle man for 10, these
many years he now has no use for
anyone in this capacity and wants
a commission appointed to increase
taxation and political graft.
He says that he believes in just
control and regulation Of railroads
and has no use for passes after
riding on them for twenty years.
What a reformation! He, on the
eve of an election now believes in
taxing railroad property at the
same rate as all other property.
What a sudden change has came
over him!
He dosen't believe in trusts, and
wants a square deal, with the duty
taken off wood pulp, because he is
interested in newspaper editors
just now, but has no word to say
for the reduction of the tariff on
the long list of commodities used
and consumed by the farmers of
the state. sa,@
He dosen't believe that the
drainage of the Red River Valley
is necessary. The farmers Of the
Valley have long since believed
this, and he even favors maintain
ing the Red River as a navigable
stream, while his friend Hanna
has been trying the last three
years to have it closed to naviga-
ton in order to build a cheap pile
bridge for his street railway COM
pany, and thereby dam the river
and food the country every spring
to say nothing of the damage to
the cities of Fargo and Grand
Forks. How will these wise poll
ticians make ends meet should
they both get to Washington?
Now that Governor Burke has
declared in favor of law enforce
ment Little comes to the fore with
a similar belief and especially in
regard to the prohibition law, and
yet is credited with being interest
ed in two government licenses for
the sale of liquor; why did he not
mention this in his platform for
the beni6t of high license advo-
Gates.
He believes in taking the Judi
ciary out of politics, yet struggles
to keep it in, witness the fight Of
two years ago.
Believes in the election of U. s
senators by the direct vote of the
people, while endeavoring to gel
himself elected by the influence
of venal newspapers.
He also believes in the freedom
of the press, in the discussion o
public men and affairs, and com
pIiments all newspaper men ex
cept his bosom friend Jewell o
the Tribune whom everybod,
knows has no claim to that "higl
sense of honor SO necessary t
his profession" etc.

the people must be small indeed

can be hoodwinked by his dupli.

He believes, SO his platform
states, in most everything that is
good except the ten command.
ments and the golden rule, and
would like to have just enough
votes next fall to carry him thru
Now that we are so well assured
of what he will do for us in the
future if elected, let lis take a look
at his past record.
LITTLE's RECORD.
It has been stated that Little is
the corporation candidate, the fol-
lowing from his record during the
session Of 1908 will show clearly
how he stands with respect to the
corporations and the working peo-
pie, and farmers of North Dakota.
This is only sample of his work
during one session. Anyone in
terested can 90 back over this en-
tire record and satisfy himself, that
Little has always been with the
corporations and against the peo-
pie, and now for his service he
claims promotion of his coun-
try. Citizens and voters is he fit,,
and entitled to your confidence?

LOST, BUT RAISED"
WITH A GREAT BIG GUN
John Gehring, Telluride Bartend-
er, Hnd Luck Against Him for
Days, But Finally Took
Matters In His Own
Hand.

From Telluride comes very in
eresting story of how John Gehring,
a bartender. said to have worked in
Grand Junction at one s.me AMI
quite well known here, helped him
self to everything In sight after he
had lost heavily at poker on Thurs
day night. He certainly took dras-
tic measures to make a raise.
1t seems that Gehring had dropped
all his funds in a poker game in
the National saloon and growing des-
perate he suddenly drew 45 cal
iber revolver from his pocket and
ordered every man at the table to
throw up his hands. This happened
at an early hour in the morning. aft
er Gehring and others had sat all
night over the cards.
The players and dealer lost no
uime la obeying Behring's order.
as they saw that he was in dead
earnest. He gathered up the pro-
ceeds of the game, about $500 in
bills. gold and silver. an stuffed the
bunch in his pockets. Then he re-
tired from the saloon. threatening
to kill anyone who followed him.
He made his way to his home ard
officers followed him there. While
they were at the front door, he jump
ed out a side window and escaped.
1t is possible that he escaped from
Telluride on an outgoing train.
For several weeks Gehring has hal
a hard run of luck at poker. He hal
not only lost all his earnings, but had
pawned his wife's jewelry in order
to raise money to gamble.
The faro and roulette games which
opened recently have been closed
tight In Telluride, but there are sew
eral poker games running.
