TO COMPLETE THE TICKET

The Times would recommend for NOM
ination the following names to fill out
the county ticket:
Coroner-E. w. Mayhem, Forbes.

approval, take list with you to polls.

DisagreeabIe Hans.

For more than eighteen years Henry G..
Hansbrough has been a member of con-
gress from this state. He served one
term in the lower house and is serving
all this time he has had as his republi-
can colleagues, Senators Pierce, Casey
and McCumber, and Representatives
Johnson, Spalding, Marshall and
Gronna. No one Of these men have
been able to get along with the esenator,
and no one of them who is now alive is
today his political friend or ally. The
estrangenent between the senior sena-
tor and his colleagues has been due to
the overbearing manner of Hansbrough
and his desire to ''hog" appointments
and prestige and build up personal
machine for himself.

planned many things about both the

OUR UNCLE tom.
By Our Own Poet.

BY Our OWn POet.
There's mighty army singing,
On the way;
Loud their challenges are ringing
Day by day.
'Tis the peoples army strong,
An unconquerable throng
Headed by our Uncle Tom;
Don't you see;
Marshalls in, sure to win;
Sure to win, Marshall's in:
Marshall is the man who does things
As he goes.
Marshall gains with proud hurrahs, =
Little men can't make great laws,
We all know.
Now no longer men are dreaming
In our state;
They no longer bow to seeming
Laws of fate.
And Mechanics Little band,
Led by cooperative hand,
Shall be banished from our land
Ere too late.
Yes, we will vote to kill
Laws that fill Wall Streets till.
North Dakota is too good state to be
Owned by influence that's sold,
For little bit of gold,-
When you count McKenzie's hold
Don't count me.
We're not caring who is running
'Gainst our Tom,
Marshall always was a taking
Sort Of man.
Homely Of kind, the peoples friend,
He will be so to the end,
He.will break before he'll bend
To the wrong.
So stand back, clear the track,
Alec. Mack's got the sack,
Marshall's car is speeding onward
Like wild fire.
Grease the rails with SO in L.
Little, Hansborough and johnson,
But you can't stall Uncle Tom
Till he's there.
In the senate Tom will be of Teddy.
With the peoples interests ever on the
file.
And while Taft is pulling strings,
Busting" trusts and breaking things
Tom will help him to t'do things"
All the while.
Honor bright, might makes right
Let the people win the fight,
And the people surely will their honol
save.
When the ballots clear and pure;
Vote for Marshall, make it sure,
Ev'ry voter is ruler,
Not slave.

Since the above was published in the

In the effort that has been made for
several years to protect the youth
OF the state by passing law to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of cigarettes,
Mr.. Little's vote has been against such
measures. Senate Journal 1901, pages
1856; 1907, page 1897 When the at
tempt was made to fasten the infamous
lottery fraud upon our state, he voted
for it. Senate Journal 1890, page 448.)
In the battle extending through several
sessions tofepeal the ninety days divorce
law-which brought to our state an un-
desirable class Of people and gaye US an
unenviable reputation-the records show
that he was, AS usual on the wrong side.
(Senate Journal 1897, page 355; 1899,
page 2o.)
In the last legislature, it was the Ju-
dietary Committee of the Senate, Of
which Mr.. Little was chairman, that
amended the Ueland Bill by making it
apply to the constitution, thus making
it possible to bring about resubmission
by petition of eight per cent of the
voters.
The North Dakota Herald, a German
paper published at Bismarck, makes the
statement that c. B. Little is friend
Of the German people, an advocate of
resubmission, and, if elected, will, in
the United States senate, vote against
bills that would limit personal liberty.
Another German paper published at
Rugby takes issue with this as being
inconsistent with his recently pub
lisaed platform which declares for pro-
hibition. To which the North Dakota
Herald replies that Mr.. Little has given
his word to the editor personally to this
effect, and that his vote in the state
Legislature proves it.-Elizabeth Pres
