CAMPAIGN SHOTS

The Nelson County Observer thus re.
ports results in headlines which read:
Republican County Convention Held
at Court House Tuesday Resulted in
Selecting Eight Stalwarts and Two
Assistants to Dems.
Here is one campaign lie nailed with
neatness and dispatch. The Devils
Lake Daily Journal remarked to the
banquet rendered Hon. l.. B. Hanna, the
stalwart candidate for congress that
The banquet bill ind all other bills
in connection with the affair were paid
by the distinguished banker who ap.
pears to have plenty of mileage and
money with which to grease campaign
wheels. -
The Warwick Sentinel replies tersely
but emphatically: cit 8 a damn lie.

as the Journal states.'
Secretary Of State Blaislell, who re-
Gently visited several different points
IN Minnesota, says the hope was fire..
quently expressed to him by the party
leaders of that state that the stalwart
showing at the Ninot convention would
be so great as to wipe out the insurgent
faction that divided the party at the
last election and put democrat in
the governor 8 chair. A united party
is wanted to bring about great re-
publican victory this fall to support the
policies of Theodore Roosevelt.
d. X. Brightbill of Cando, candidate
for state auditor, is well known to tho
business men of the state. He has q

son to prevent Mr. Marshall from get.
ting control of the Minot convention,
or is ready to join Mr.. Little to prevent
Mr.. johnson from getting control.' In
other words, Hansbrough does not think
Marshall cuts much figure and would
like to hold the balance of power at
Minot. This is very candid "decla-
ration of principles" from such lofty
statesman.
The insurgents have changed their
whine about McKenzieism to claim
that money is being spent for the stall
wart cause. II. T. 11elccson, candidate
for congress declared at Grand Forks
Friday night, eve are not fighting
Alex Mckenzie or Jud LaMoure. When
they have stepped aside the corpora
tions will find others ready to take
their place.
Yes, there are few others and they
can be reached by addressing them in
care Of progressive republican head
quarters.
Hansbrough in his official mouthpiece,
the Grand Forks Times, declares,
"There is every reason to believe that
Mckenzie is secretly planning to put
J North Dakota in the corporation or
anti-Taft column
If this were true, Mckenzie could
the more easily accomplish this by
going away and let Hansbrough be
elected to the u. s. senate.

McHenry county, newspaper publisher,
and president Of the McHenry County
Editorial Association is in the field as
a candidate for the stalwart republican
nomination of railroad commissioner.
