0. ]. OLSON IS A CANDIDATE

The Washburn Leader on Janu-
airy 3lst had a lengthy editorial adj
vocating and urging 0. J. Olson'
Of Cass county. to become a candl-
date for the office Of state auditor,
Mr.. Olson has since that time
made his announcement as q can
didate before the primaries in June
We notice that the newspapers all
over the state are taking kindly to
his candidacy, and that Mr.. Olson
is receiving deserved and good
mention from the northern to the
southern boundaries Of the state:
The editor of the Crosby Re-
view, Williams county says that he
had the pleasure ofMr. Olson's &C
quaintance at the time he was Cass
county's auditor, and he knows
that Mr.. Orion is q capable man
for the place he seeks.
The Cogswell Enterprise of sar-
gent county. urges it's readers to
vote for Mr.. Olson as the editor
has known him for years. and
knows that he is deserving Of the
place and is fully qualified. And
thus it goes. The Leader predict
ed that Mr.. Olson would be a win
ner, and is now more convinced OF
it than ever.
MIR. Olson has a great many
friends in Mclean county as it
will be remembered that as Deputy
State Examiner he examined the
Offices of the County Auditor,
Treasurer, Register of Deeds.
County Judge and Clerk of Court
in January 1907 and his report to
the county commissioners of Nc
Lean county appeared in the Lead
er. He was freely complimented
on the able manner in which he
conducted these examinations, and
the result of his visit here at that
time demonstrated conclusively
that he is eminently qualified to
serve the people Of North Dakota
as their state auditor.

The following from the Douglas
Herald. All that is left now is to
call a meeting and start the ball
rolling:
What is the matter with the
new 500 Editorial Association?
There are many matters of local
interest to editors along the new
line that an association could han
die satisfactorily. A meeting
could be held at Max between
trains any day, or, if more time
was needed any of the towns would
be glad to entertain. Somebody
say something.

In another column we are pre-
senting the facts in the debate in
regard to Senator Hansbrough's
resolution seeking to advocate the
investigation Of the harvester trust
Senator Hansbrough has cen fit
to make the Investigation of this
trust one Of his campaign measures
but he did not do so until forced
into it by the trust which has
shown it's hand in an effort to con-
troll the politics Of this state. The
measure was introduced by Sena-
tor Hansbrough at a time when he
had no competition in the race for
a seat in the senate and the whole
measure is in keeping with the
Roosevelt policies. If the harvest
ing machines have increased in
price per cent, and the senator has
shown that they have, and the cost
of production remains at about the
same figure as formerly, there is
some reason for it and the investi-
cation demanded by Senator Hans
brough in behalf of the farmers Of
this and other states is entirely just
and will gain for him the respect
and support Of every intelligent
citizen in North Dakota.
There is a disposition among a
number of the state papers and
politicians to ridicule any man who
holds high Office and whose very
integrity has perhaps. caused him
to overlook their claims. While
such a condition is very much to
be deplored among the papers and
men of North Dakota it is notice.
ably SO In some instances OF which
we hope to speak more in the near
future.
The counties comprising the
tenth judicial district are going to
vote for Senator Hansbrongh to
succeed himself. The spirit Of
Theodore Roosevelt and his square
deal policies exists in the land of
this Missouri slope and the voters
of this section will demonstrate on
the day of the primaries that his
policies and the men he counts his
supporters and friends are good.
enough for him. Post.

If the voters are looking for con-
tinued good results and efficient
service in the senate, we do not see
how anyone can hesitate as be-
tween the candidates who are run
ming for the position. Senator
Hansbrough has everything to his
credit and even his bittest foes
cannot put their fingers on any
thing that will amount to an argu-
ment as to why he should not be
reelected.
II the senator had dawdled
around in the place without MAX
ing a record in behalf of his state
and himself, perhaps his enemies
could be better able to find some
thing to say derogatory to him.
On the contrary he has shown his
capacity to deal with all questions.
large and small, affecting the inter-
ests of the state and to deal with
them promptly and conclusively.
The senator in his early official
life. when the Louisiana lottery
sought to establish itself in the
state with Mckenzie as a polieical
agent passed a bill shutting the
institution out of the United States
mails. This settled the lottery in
this country.
When Secretary Shaw put wheat
on the free list, Hansbrough was
on hand to protest and make a
fight against it, carrying the con-
test into the senate and reversing
Shaw so far as the senate was con-
cerned.
When it was found that the har-
vester trust was robbing the grain
growers of the country and especi-
ally North Dakota, Hansbrouh was
on hand to haze them investigated
and urge their prosecution. He
managed to carry this into the SEN
ate also and put the country wise
to the true situation in regard to
this monopoly.
And so we might recount numer-
GUS other instances wherein Sena-
tor Hansbrough has been a con-
spicous and ready leader wherever
the interests of his constituents
we're at stakr. In land legislation
he has bee the constant and con-
sistent guardian of the homestead
er.
Do the people of North Dakota
want a change from this advan-
tageous condition, or is it the am
bilious politicians who want a
This is the question the
voters must consider and which
they will consider, and we predict
that when the primaries are held,
in June the great republican
masses Of the state will render a
verdict in accordance with the
facts and that Senator Hansbrough
will be triumphantly reelected. -

According to the notice in the
Leader two weeks ago, the meet
ing at McClusky was held on the
10Th for the purpose of discussing
county division. There weres some
four hundred persons present, the
greater number coming from the
immediate territory surrounding
McClusky, each of the following
towns sent delegates: Martin,
Coleharbor, Lincoln, Goodrich,
Denhoff, Mercer, Turtle Lake,
Underwood, Garrison, Ruso and
Dogden.
The question of division of the
county was discussed at much
length, the delegates from the east
ern part of the county beng in
favor of dividing on a line between
ranges 70 and 70, and the Nc
Clusky people wanted to make the
line between ranges 80and 81, with
the addition of the four townships
south Of Washburn being includ-
ed in the new county. Mr.. Arne-
son of McClusky, who is one of the
proprietors of that TOWNSHIP, argued
for the McClusky interests.
It should be born in mind that
Mr.. Arneson is one of the gentle
men who purchased the townsite of
McClusky from Messrs Ryan and
and Wing. He has heavy inter-
ests there and very naturally he
made a fight for such a division
proposition as best suited to the
interests of McClusky. He made
a good fight, it is said, and of
course he scanaot be blamed for
that as it was to his personal inter
est, but very naturally others are
not so much interested in division
on the lines wanted by Arneson
and some Of them are equally in
terested in and anxious for an en-
tirely different proposition.
The people from east of the line
between ranges 70 and 70, were
very modest in their demands and
would be satisfied with twenty
eight townships, but the McClusky
people could not see it that way.
After much discussion a commit
tee was selected to canvass the
situation and recommend a course
of action by the meeting. The
committee was composed of Messrs.
Perske of Goodrich, Morrow of
.Denhof, Rice of Mercer. Larsonof
Wilton, Seibel Of Lincoln, Rogers
of Garrison, Boecher of Max,
French of Russo, and Harnico of
