Of Burleigh county, was born in An

S59 Mr.. Healy is a painter by trade and
was a popular man among his cola
borars, giving satisfaction to those
with whom he did business. He was
elected to the office of county auditor
four years ago and has filled the POI
sition creditably, being especially
faithful in his duties and one of the
most efficient auditors of the state.
If reelected, there is no reason to
doubt that his next term will give
even better satisfaction than this one
has, as Mr.. Hea1y is a man who pro
fits by experience, and the past years
have fitted him the better for the
years to come.
You will make no mistake In cast
ing your ballot for I. w. Healy for

has been a member of the legisla- !
tur from his county, where his duties
were well and creditably performed
and where he was one of the leaders
OF the house: he has had a wide ex-
perience and will make in every way
an acceptable counselor and prose
cutting officer. Mr.. Kositzky for
treasurer, VINO through his vigorous
campaign won out over two Of the
most popular young men in the coun-
.tv, is honest, we'll equipped, and the
duties OF. this important office will
be well performed by him. Mr..
Fort, candidate for register of Deeds,
is an old timer in the county, and
has had wide. experience with county
affairs, and the voters may be sure
that he will discharge the duties Of
the office capably and well.
For county superintendent of our
schools Mr.. Vigness is a candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket. The vote for the nomination
between him and Miss Hanson was
close, but Mr.. Vigness retains his
place as the Republican nominee and
Miss Hanson is running as an indepen
dent candidate. There is no question
of the capabilities Of either of the
candidates, but Mr.. Vigness has
served acceptably and well and as
the Republican nominee is entitled
to the support of the voters Of his
party. AS the Tribune has already
stated, it is the duty of Republicans
to abide the result Of the primary,
and if there is any deviation from
this course, except in the case Of
manifest unworthiness and incapac-
5ity, we shall find the primary a
means of breaking down parties and
not building them up.
County Judge Mckenzie has serv-
ed aceeptabIy in the office he holds
and FOR which he is again a candi-
date. He is capable, an old timer,
well equipped for the office and de-
serves the support of every Repub-
lican voter.

COUNTY CANDIDATES.

BurIeigh county is Republican by
a considerable ma jority, and while
the Democrats have county and
legislative ticket in the field, it is
safe to say that none of the Demo-
cratic candidates expect to be elect
ed. and that the campaign lis being
made by them more as party mat
Ger than through any expectation of
Individual success.
Within the Republican ranks the
battle was fought out at the primar-
les IN June, when candidates for the
various offices were chosen, and the
Republicans should abide by the
primary choice and ratify it at the
election next Tuesday.
Several of the Republican candi-
dates are up for reelection, and it
is only lust to them to say that their.
records are good and they are worthy
and deserving of support, even irres-
pective of party lines. Mr.. Healy

PLAYING BOTH ENDS.

Down in Mcintosh county the Re
puhlicans of Ashley carried a full
page ad. last week, marked Demo.
cratic Advertisement" and counsel
ing the voters to vote for the Demo
cratic candidate for governor be-
cause he was against prohibition.
Considering the fact that the
Democrats in the eastern part of
the state are seeking the votes of
the prohibitionists on the ground
that the Democratic candidate is in
favor Of strict enforcement of the
prohibition law, this seems to be
playing both ends against the mid
die with vengeance. Where the
sentiment of the people is against
the prohibition law, the Democrats
are seeking votes on the ground that
their candidate is against the law.
Where the sentiment is in favor of
prohibition, prohibition is made a
strong card of the Democratic hand.
1t is also stated that copies of the
address Of the Republican candi-
date for governor, C. a. Johnson, in
which he pledges his efforts to en-
force and maintain the prohibition
law, are being circulated through
the voters of Mcintosh county and
in other communities where it is
thought the sentiment of the peo-
pie is against the law: ALI Of which
proves that the Democratic campaign
committee Of the state is after votes,
and principles may go to seed if the
votes are thus obtained. .@ fs
1t should all make food for ref1ec-
ton for those voters who have been
approached with the offer that the
Democrats offer the only assurance
of law enforcement in this campaign.
And it should help explain the ST
lence of the Democratic platform
of this state on the subject of pro-
hibitfon and the studious avoidance
of any reference to that important
issue.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Mr.. George A. WEIGH, Republican
candidate for the state senate from
this district, is SO well known and
stands SO well with the voters that
it is not necessary for the Tribune
to add any testimonials to that one
he received from the great majority
OF Republican voters at the primary
election. Mr.. WEIGH is in every way
capable and deserves a large vote
at the election. He is good citizen,
an honest, upright and likable indi-
yidual and he will make valuable
member of the upper house for Bur-
leigh county. .5$ 81
Mr.. Wolbert has had Legislative
experience before, in the senate, and
will serve the county aceeptably and
honorably in the lower house. .:s
Mfr. Hughes is well known to the
voters, is popular, energetic, and
will complete good term IN the
Legislature. There are many things
Eot importance to Burleigh county
and this legislative district to be CON
ssidered by tbs legislature, and it
is we'll that we: have a delegation
that has a wide acquaintance with
the members, a good knowledge OF
legislative proceedings and duties,
and the vim and energy to make
progress Of a substantial nature in
Legislative matters.
