Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1908-04-09

cation from his home town to the county
convention. What's that scriptural
quotation about the prophet?
And now it is said that our winter
would have made it's exit without that
blizzard on April LIST if it hadn't been
for the republican convention and the
tendency to wire pulling at the caucuses
the day before to upset the elements.
Well, thank goodness those warning
factions of the g. o. p, won't have an
other opportunity to jolt the universe
with another of those political earth
quakes until June "a.
The individual with a political bee in
his belfry who thinks he stands a ghost
of a show of landing a party nomination
at the primaries without running a card
announcing his candidacy in the county
papers is in it with the old hump-back-
ed camel that sought to avoid hot-foot-
hight across the burning sands of the
desert by lodging through the eye of a
needle. Don't try it, but if you want to
be in the race advertise.
States Attorney johnson elsewhere
announces his candidacy for reelection
to the Office he has held the past two
years. We think the people will be gen
orally of one mind regarding that he has
worked hard and c~onscientlously with
out fear or favor to any, and it is on just
such a platform as this that MIR. john
son seeks reelection. There will be
some who will use a little lung exercise.
but none can say but what he has done
his duty as a public officer as he saw it.
Who says that Munich won't take a
hand in the approaching political cam
paign? Nobody! Well, better not!
The citizens of Munich are going to take
a hand in it and are going to make their
influence felt. They are going to stand
shoulder to-shoulder, irrespective of
party affiliations and boost their fellow
townsman, j. d. Farup, for clerk of
court. From now on, until after the
primaries, the slogan will be, 'What's
the matter with Farup!'-Munich

w. l.. Van Horn, of Fargo, who
graduated from the ministerial field into
politics was spotted off, last week by
the Osnabrock Independent newsgather
as being industriously engaged in hat
town, boosting the campaign of l.. B.
Hanna, who thinks that two years of
strenuosity as chairman of the state
central committee of North Dakota
republicans, entities him to a position as
''pole horse" in the congressional race.
Van Horn did considerable spell binding

To any citizen who may wish to enter
the political arena and aspires for office
within the gift of the people of the
County of Cavalier and State of North
Dakota, the DEMOCRAT "tips-otf" the
information that it has on hand the
necessary legal form of candidate petit
lions. They are not a political 'sure-
thing to either democratic or republican
aspirants, but they are now on sale and
twenty-five cents buys two of EN-. So
you see the poor man as we'll as the rich
may enter the race if he happens to
have an aggravated attack of the itch
for Office.
This week formal announcement is
made by Attorney Fred E. Smith of his
candidacy for the republican nomination
for states attorney of Cavalier county at
the primary election to be held June
oath. Attorney Smith is the first of the
bunch who may be expected to ask the
suffrage of the voters for a county office,
and now that the ice is broken and
spring is here the onrush of "would be
obedient and willing servants of the
voters and taxpayers of the people of
Cavalier county," may be expected to
assume the proportions of the stampede
for Oklahoma when the Indian reserva-
ton was opened to homesteaders. In
this connection the DEMOCRAT would
hasten to state that it is able to provide
candidates of what ever denomination
of politically they may have foresworn
allegiance, advertising space for their
announcement at the usual rates.
