| Old-timers who know Mr.. Campbell S
ability in lodging an issue in political
matters will not be surprised that he
makes no attempt TO reply u my ar
ticle published two weeks ago, in
which fac smile letter showing his
good opinion Of the Record man after
the 1905 session vas given. Instead.
| he makes the assertion that my course
at the 1907 session was so different
/ from that 81 the 1905 session that the
good Mr.. Campbell was compelled 10
withdraw the sunshine OF his approval
and leave me in utter darkness. Let
us look into the matter.
| In the campaign u 1904 the writer
was SoT an insnrgent, and this Mr..
Campbell vel knows. Mr.. Campbell
did soT receive any letters from me
IL the effect that ] Was an insurgent.
The fact that ] did not approve OF the
way 10 which the KiddeY county CON
yentior vas run, in an effort to defeat
Major Eelden for nomination 10 the
legislature. was no Endorsement III in
su'gen,ism, bat just what any man
With any degree II fairness would
have done uDdcr similar circum-
stances
You know perfectly well, Mr.. Camp
bell, that when you intimate that you
~ithdse" your royal favor from me
because Of the alleged fact that the
writer had pursued different policy
al he 1867 session from that II 1905.
ynn state falsely. challenge you to
mention 4 single instance in which
my action was different at the latter
session from tie first.
Furthermore, | challenge you to
name an Instance in which my action
was not IN support OF those measures
which the people were asking. You
know that ! was firm supporter OF
the primary law at both sessions. That
was ono of your hobbies. La fact.
there was not one insurgent or stall.
wart leader in either house that was
not my friend. do not consider that
l committed any great political crime
in referring To MIR. Patterson one to
whom Mr. Macdonald repeatedly re-
ierrcd as "the biggest CRATER that
ever struck Bismarck" as an Sup
start. y
AS TO corporate interests MIR.
Campbell, don't you believe that a
man who had for years devoted his
energies to serving the capitalistic
despoilcrs Of the people, would have
been little better fixed financially
than Is your humble servant, after
twenty tive years OF hard work as a
country newspaper man in this coun-
ty.
Your gushing outpouring OF love for
Mr. Macdonald is all right, from your
point of view. Why otherwise? Dur
Ing his service in the legislature you
have been his political guide, philos-
opl1er and friend" When considering
Senator Macdonald's course on any
measure In the legislature, the first
query Away, was, What do Dugald
Campbell and Doctor Smyth fof Bis
mafck think about il?r
