Idaho county democrats have
placed before the people of this
county men for Office who are
without flaw. The machination
of politicians quite often is such
that men who are not qualified are
placed on ticket for certain
offices, political debts are thus
paid for by the machine.
The public is asked to pay the
bill rendered to the machine by n
lieutenant by casting aside the
question of ability and qualifica
tions and electing the man or set
of men because the machines has
issued the edict.
The time is fast passing when
men can be forced to support a
a candidate by the crack of the
party whip. No estate" can be
successful unless the people make
it. While under our present
election laws the politicians, can in
a way force nominations against
the will of the people, they cannot
force elections.
The convention at Sites was not
a politicians convention, not a
one-man affair. There was no
"slate" made up to ratify. What
are the results? A ticket of ex-
cellent men from all over the coun-
try. Men you know and can vote
for without a compunction Of con-
cience.

Dead and Buried

A shocking accident occurred near
Richardton Thursday afternoon when
Frank ~Stephenfelt, a farmer living four
miles southeast of the town, was
asphyxiated while engaged in digging a
we'll and then buried under a GREAT
weight of dirt and stone, caused by a
a in of the we'll.
S%tephenfelt was employed in digging
the we'll and was down a good MANY
feet under the ground.
Evidently striking a vein of GAS, he
was overcome by the fumes and died of
s%uffocation. Before his companions were
aware what was up the tragedy was
made doubly sad. The sides of the we'll
caved in and the body was buried under
several feet of dirt.
An attempt was made to dig out the
body but when it was brought to the top
of the ground again life had been ex-
tinct for some time.
Dr.. Stephen Fisher, the county coroner,
was summoned to the scene and went
down yesterday to hold an inquest. He
found that the man had died of suffo-
cation.

WISE TALKS BY THE MANDAN
ERRAND BOY.
A lot of men who think they are
keeping step with the march of progress
II only marking time. It's natural for
people to be looking out for No. / but
know some ladies down near where we
live who are looking for No. 2. heard
a woman say the other day that mar
riage was a lottery. If that's true, why
don't they arrest the ministers?' Buying
stuff is q lottery, too, sometimes. You
don't have to take any chances if you
trade al this store. Everything is just
what it is represented to be. We could
take U goods and mark them away up
and then give you a big discount and
make you think they were cheaper. But
what's the use? That's not business.
And another thing we don't try to make
q fancy profit from the sale of some
thing you buy but seldom. Take it in
lumber. But no matter what you need,
if we have it, it's right, the price is
right and the quality must be right.
