JUDGE 4. TORGERS0N
WRITES ON POLITICS
Well Known Cavalier County Man Expresses His Views on
the Political Situation in State Of North Dakota
He Scores Would be Party WreckepS.


Homen, N. D., Jan. 6.-To The
Forum: When 1 became acquaint-
ed with the Hon. Major Edwards,
in 1901, he promised me space in
the columns of the Forum at any
time.
Until now I have not thought
that my wisdom was necessary
But let that be as it will, I am
going to hold the honorable major
to his promise and write, just the
same.
Coming back from trip to
Aberdeen, Wash, 1 overheard lots
of political talk from the hobo to
the best business men and poll
ticians in the state of North Da-
kota, and [ came to the conclusion
that I and all the people here in
Homen, N. d., were right when
we were sorry to see and learn
that such an efficient representa-
tive as Thomas Marshall is about
to throw up his job, and in his
place we will get some one that is
not acquainted with the immediate
wants Of the people in the state of
North Dakota.
We are with sorrow remember
ing similar case of some years
ago, when M. N. johnson of Pc
tersburg got the big head and quit
the house of representatives in
congress, where he was a very
efficient and popular member, to
run for the United States senate.
But the result was that Mr.. John
son committed political suicide.
Who lost the most-Mr. johnson
or the people? My answer is, the
people. We are facing the same
kind of drama now.
Even if Marshall could be sue
cessful, and [ am. sure he would
try his best to be a good senator
and an efficient representative, but
even at that the peoples loss would
be greater than Mr. Marshall's
gain. The people are looking for
good representation. and not for
spite work. But it is an old saying
that history will repeat itself. If
Mr.. Marshall insists on quitting,
his and the peoples enemies are
most certainly helping him to quit
with a pretended cry that Mr..
Marshall can do so much more
good in the senate than he can in
the house. Who believes this :?
Not one man in the state. For
what reason is this agitation made,
then? [ answer, to pave a road to
congress for some insurgent-demo
pet. For, when Marshall is fight
ing his battle to win the senate,
the demo-insurgent pet is stealing
into the house without opposition.
Now. dear farmers and others
who know the right answer to the
following question: Is it not
fact that the more grades we get
by the elevator men on our grain,
the bigger is the steal on the far
mer? It is also fact that the
more political parties we get, the
bigger is their chance for political
and scheming.
just think Of it! People calling
themselves republicans Joining
hands in battle with the repub-
licans' arch enemy, the democrats.
Can such politics be fair? Does it
not remind us of Arnold in the
revolutionary war? When he
could not be the first general, be
helped the enemy destroy the good
cause altogether.
Now, a word to the insurgents:
For arguments sake, wewill admit

companies have very little love for
Senator Hansbrough, because, as
you all know, the senator is an
active member on the committee
on public lands and has most GER
tainly not favored the logging and
lumber companies in their gigan-
tic land and timber steals, for which
the Pacific coast is noted. They
do not carry their names in vain.
It is a known fact that Hansbrough
has helped to get many of these
thieves either heavily fined or
landed them in prison.
Is not that taking care of the
public interests? It has also been
a common howl that Mckenzie
owned and controlled the Missouri
slope vote. But there will be
money coming from rich ranchers
on the slope to defeat Hansbrough
if they can. For Hausbrough has
driven them to the wall by letting
the common poor people settle up
the country. These ranches and
the public domain were held by
the ranchers at the point of the
good Colts and Winchester rifles
if anybody. as these ranchers
termed it, trespassed on their
premises.
think that Hansbrough ought
to be honored instead of censured
for this act. just look at the
thousands Of nice and useful homes
that have been established in the
Ward, Williams, McHenry, Nc
Lean and Wallace. Had not
Hansbrough taken up the battle
against these ranchers the western
public domain would be today as
of years past. 1t would have been
usurped by the wolves and ranch
ers and traversed by the cowboys,
where there are today good indus
trious farmers-all through the
efforts of Hon. Sen. Hansbrough
While / think and sincerely be-
lieve that we, the people Of North
Dakota, ought to be proud that we
have such an able and respected
member of the U. S. senate at
Washington, and through the SEN
ators, Hansbrough and McCum-
Der, and our representatives, Mar
shall and Gronna, the state of
North Dakota and it's people are
highly respected.
This article is written by me in
fairness to all. I am not opposed
to reform where reform is needed.
But / am opposed to imaginary or
whimsical pretenders who are only
agitating for their own gain and l
am most opposed to that class Of
politicians that splits up an organ
ization when it would be better to
weed out the noxious politicians.
These party splitters are a danger
to the republican party. They
remind me of an atheist they are
good to tear down but not worth a
cent to build up.
I am respectfully yours for po-
litical war until after the primary
and general elections.
Halvor Torgerson.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-01-17

that politics in North Dakota has
been run in one-horse way. The
cry has been that two people have
done it-Jud and Mckenzie.
We'll, there are two things to be
considered in this case. Either
are all the other extra smart peo-
pie fools, or else the Mckenzie
Jud company is so smart that the
people of North Dakota ought to
appreciate them by giving them
life jobs, or tag them up with
what some people call medals, and
to pray to them and call them
lords and masters, and hum BILE our
bodies to the dust. They deserve
that, if two men can run the state
Of North Dakota, or more than
100000 people.
But here is a sincere question
that l am going to ask the people
ofNorth Dakota When there are
people smart enough in the state
ofsNorth Dakota, first, to control a
big part Of the press; second, to
successfully stump the whole state;
third, to organize party, or, rath-
er. to split up the republican party
and donate it for spite to the arch
enemy, the democrats. When
these named politicians can do
that, why don't they rather organ
ize against these two, the Jud &
Mac Co? Two people can do but
little against the whole party.
But should it be that the repub-
lican party does not reorganize
these self-constituted leaders, then
the party has no faith in that
promised reform. In that case, it
looks to me as if these reformers
only cry reform for the sake Of
getting an Office. My way Of
thinking is that every honorable
citizen of the United States has a
perfect right to look for any Office
in the gift Of the people.
We have right to criticise both
the official and the personal acts
of any man in Office, and if there
are good grounds for the criticism
the people will not keep such a
man in office very long. It is not
necessary to split up an organized
party that has endeared itself to
the hearts Of the people, when we,
the people. can weed out anyone
that we don't like.
Now, in conclusion, | will throw
the light that I and the other peo-
pie up here have on the senatorial
conflict between the Hon. FL. G..
Hansbrouge, Marshall and others.
I have of late been quite extens-
lively over the state of North Da-
kota and [ have found out nobody
wants to lose the Hon. Ell. G. Hans
brough from the United States
senate, and the people do not like
to lose Mr.. Marshall as represent
ative. But nobody can keep a
man from committing suicide if he
is bound to do SO. and so it is with
Marshall. Nobody can compel
Mr.. Marshall to be a representative
for the people of North Dakota
any longer than he wants to, as
there is whole bunch ready and
willing to take Mr.. Marshall's
place. That is the only reason
they are agitating Mr.. Marshall
today for the senate.
In regard to Senator Hans
brough, I can assure all that there
will be money coming in from out
side this state to buck him. For
that I learned when I was in the
state Of Washington fortnight
ago. The logging and lumber

What shall man do when he is
in the unenviable state of being
4'down andout?" Suppose it is
impossible for him to get work al
his former vocation; suppose that
above all things he hates ap-
preaching people he knows we'll

A thousand and one things

man upon his fortune or position
A hundred subtle but strong in
fuences may at any time cause

which will, for a time at least.
make him a member of the ''down
and out" class.
Under the imaginary idea state
Of affairs, mostly existing in Sun
day-school stories and books fo1
ambitious boys, it is proved in
Euclid-like fashion that a man
who works hard will rise years after
with the utmost steadiness. Men
who have been through the mill''
know how non-sensical is all this
talk.
The greatest curse Of a confn-
ing vocation is the limited view
point Of the worker. If he writes
invoices or mends shoes he regards
everything from that standpoint.
No more invoices to write or no
more shoes to mend seem to spell
to him the end of things. The
''down and outer" absolutely must
force himself to look not only more
brightly but more rightly at
things.
There is nothing more certain
than this-the needs Of this city in
the help wanted line are vast be-
yond all computation. The one
out of work, provided he cannot
get employment in his old profess
sion, should make up his mind re-
solutely that there is something
else for him to do proftably.
It not only makes a man utterly
spiritless to be idle but 1T also
costs more money to be unemploy-
ed than occupied. That is why it
is usually better to work for Sl.25
or Sl.75 per day than to do moth
ing at all. Even halliday work is
vastly better than being out Of en-
ployment altogether.
One reason why many people
will not do manual labor who have
been clerking is because they i'm
agine everyone is looking at them
thinking about them, and taking
stock Of what they do. 1t is need
less to say these ideas are extreme
ly foolish.
The world is far too busy for any
thing of this kind. Besides, cleri-
cal labor could not exist without
manual labor. One is as honor
able as the other. In point of fact
it would seem bodily toll is more
manly than than mental labor.
A man often never gets next to
himself" until he has been "down
and OUT franklin said that the
man who is cast upon his own re-
sources is thrown into lap of for
tune. Therefore a worker should
be extremely reluctant to believe
that misfortune may not be excel
lent luck in disguise.
A hundred twarting influences
may have kept man from trying
out the line which his mother wit
and instinct have perpetually been
telling him he is best fitted for.
When he is unable to get work in
his old line then is the time to do
the thing he imagines he can do
best naturally. Often he will sue
ceed.
