"Will you kindly sign this p~etition?"
Voters that are so obliging should re-
member that they are debarred by law
from signing more than one candidates
petition for the same office. And by the
same token, the early bird catches the
worm.

Editor Rishotf, who boosts Milton and
republican politics of the insurgent
brand through the columns of the Globe,
has recently added to his family
responsibilities. Its a girl, a seven
FOUNDER and arrived last week. We
have avowed political differences, but
hasten to extend congratulations.

Attorney q. r. Sinkler, a candidate
for the republican nomination to con-
gress-and there are not less than nine
entries in the race-gave n of his
campaign talks at Sarles Friday night
last week. Sarles is starting up a brass
band this spring and the way that
Sinkler is reported to have famed the
atmosphere is stated as having been
quite a lesson of instruction to the
embryo wind TANNERS at Sarles.

Andrew Sturm of the Langdon real
estate firm of Sturm & Price returned
yesterday from California, where in
company with Mrs. Sturm and the
family he has spent the winter months.
In his capacity as chairman of the
republican county committee MIR. Sturm
may be expected today to take his first
peep at the amount of hill the g. o. p. is
raising in North Dakotan in general and
Cavalier county in particular.

There are understood to be two appli-
cants in the field for the appointment of
postmaster at Olga. One is Miss Plante,
daughter of Major Plante, who recently
moved into the village from Beaulieu,
purchasing the Chale property. The
other is Sam j. Cross, closely identified
with the public affairs of Olga since its
earliest history. So far it is understood
the competition for the appointment has
not assumed the proportions that need
be dignitied by the title of a post office
fight, such as is the case in Langdon
and Milton.

We expect to hear of Attorney E. R.
Slnkler, the cyclone legal lumiuary at
Grafton, doing all kinds of things to the
Forum editor next time he's in Fargo.
When its remembered Sinkler is talking
gang republican politics over the state
and working up a personal boom for a
congressional toga, the Forum had it's
nerve along with it when it said that she
went to LaMoure county to defend
blind piggers, but spend the most of his
time in making political speeches and
throwing bouquets at himself" That's
nc doubt what Attorney Sinkler was
doing, but the Forum made a mistake
by giving it away.

If last weeks editorial comment of our
contemporary counts for aught the re-
publicaDs must be looking for a back
ward spring politically speaking of
course. A paragraph referring to the en-
dorsement given Bryan at the demo-
cratic state convention contains the
Republicans prediction that if Bryan is
the democratic presidential nominee it
will be easy shedding for the republicans
Well, we knew we had them on the to-
baggon, but didn't think they would be
willing yet awhile to admit that the
old G.. o. p. hearse was mounted on a SET
of bob sleighs this trip.

From the energy displayed at the
state convention last week it would ap.
pear that North Dakota democrats are
warming up to the November race
Hannah Moon.
Without dwelling at any length on the
above comment We will say that the
democratic party may be depended on
