Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1908-10-22

pendent candidate for the legislature
was brought up on farm. In early
life he was country storekeeper and
farmer. Afterwards he moved "a
Chicago and for twenty-seven years
was a member Of the board Of trade.
He is a wealthy man; but SO are
Messrs. Storey and Herolz. the Muck.
raker candidates, wealthy men.
The Record knows nothing of his
domestic dimculties; but We do know
that several Kidder county business
men who have knowledge Of the
particulars of his domestic troubles
are his firm friends and defenders.
Col. futile or any other man worthy
of the name cannot discuss such
troubles. And for that reason they
must be silent under the attacks Of
such men as Heroic and Patterson.
For more than twenty years Mr..
futile has been an owner of land in
Kidder county, and he now owns a
great deal of land in the state. For
many years he had, while living in
Chicago, made hunting trip to Daw.
son nearly every year. He liked the
country and its people. Having made
enough money to provide against any
possible want in the declining years
OF his life, and having reached the
age Of sixty years or thereabouts. he
concluded to leave the strenuous life
OF the board of trade and go to re-
side permanently in the North Dakota
village where he had many friends,
and where he had spent many of tho
pleasantest months of his life. Judg-
ing the author by the letter she
wrote. at Mr. Herolz' suggestion, Mr..
futile certainly couldn't have led a
heavenly existence in Chicago, and
would naturally want to seek place
where he could have little peace
and quiet in his declining years.
Three years ago he took up his per-
manent residence in Dawson, where he
Is engaged in the land business, he
having in this state land on which the
taxes he pays are some eighteen hun
dred dollars. 1t would seem that he
certainly has enough interests in this
state to make him careful legisla-
tor in all matters pertaining to the
interests Of az agricultural con.
stituency whose chief property is
in land !.
Messrs. Herolz and Patterson,
knowing nothing of Mr.. futile aud
his motives and seeking to discredit
him. assert that he came here to
procure divorce. But these gentle
men seem to forget that twelve
months and not three years are all
that is required in the way of resi-
dence before one can begin an action
for divorce. Mr.. futile has large in
terests in this state, and he has come
here to make his home and spend
the remainder of his days in state
where large part OF his fortune is
invested.
Now, let US see how he stands at
home in comparison with Mr.. Heroic.
who procured the circular for the
purpose of injuring him, and who
with his side-partner is still malign-
ing and disappearing him.
Mr.. Tuttle was practically the unan-
iMous choice of he peope Of his home
town for the legislature. He carried
the caucuses last spring by vote Of
about 81 to 4 delegates in the county
convention, and was indorsed for the
position by the county convention.
At the primary election he carried
his home town by vote Of 53 to 10
IN total vote Of GI votes-about half
the total vote of Linton. He carried
the adjoining precincts where he was
best known by large ma jorities. The
only Dawson business man who ON.
posed him was former blind bigger

and with whom Mr.. Heroic rode In
different parts of the county before
the primary.
In Steele Mr.. Storey. MIR Hcrolx's
political partner. got three majority.
We have heretofore printed IL a.
four. but we are recently informed
that II was hut three.
In Linton. where Mcssrs. Herol,
and Streetcr have resided for years.
Mr. Herolx lost tho precinct hy uiue

been more Ind not the dirty circular
