We naturally expect them to follow

tains to general good and welfare of
the whole country but particularly to
make special efforts to further the
interests of the constituents in that
part of the country where they live,
and whose ballots have elected them
to the positions they hold. We have
a right to expect that every public
official will endeavor to promote the
common good, and take a special in

Senator Hansbrough who is now seek

served the people of North Dakota
In very satisfactory manner. No
letter addressed to him by a constitu-

spared no effort, to aid and assist even
the humblest homesteader to gain his

is not supported by Mckenzie or by

say he has not been faithful to the

OF City Treasurer, Justice of the Peace.

competent in these positions of public
trust and it is we'll to return them at
this time. Mr., Orr, who aspires to
the Office of Justice of the Peace is
well equipped for this position, is well
known and will make very efficient
official in this capacity. 1t the second

terms in offices of this character as
is the case in most offices and this
seems to be the case generally.
There are also other good reasons
for returning Mr.. Gilbertson to this
position, among which is that he has
always been prompt and accurate in
the performance of his official duty.
Another characteristic of Mr.. Gilbert
sons administration is that he has
whenever possible conducted the dut-
les of his Office in a manner to save
the taxpayers all he possibly could.
In cases where there were estates he
has invariably had the expense of
inquests charged to the estates and
thus relieved the county of the ex-
penses thus incurred. In this manner
he has been saving the county many
dollars that in many cases would have
come from the tax payers.
His candidacy is being we'll received
and 1t is thought that he will be re-
elected this year by the same large
majority with which he was favored
two years ago.

OF this league, it is natural to suppose
that he will draw largely from Bryan,
and this has made the democrats sit
up and take notice. 1t is thought by
some that Mr.. Hearst plans on being
ready when Bryan meets his third
defeat, to assimilate the fragments of
the defunct democratic party into a
new one and plan to oppose the repub-
licans in 1912.

Mann to accept positions of this char
acter, as they are generally so taken
up with the manifold duties of their
own business that they feel that thew
cannot spare the time required to
attend to municipal affairs. We feel
that the city is indeed fortunate in
being able to secure the candidacy of
MI. Mann and we cannot conceive of
any very great opposition to him at
the polls He is also in touch with
the work in progress and should be
placed in position to assist in it's
completion.
There are three candidates on tho
ballot for Police Magistrate to sue
coed Mr.. Duell, they are Stephen G.
Jones, A. S. Pattie and VIM. H. Brown.
while the office would probably be in
safe keeping if any of the three were
selected. Still it would seem that Mr.
Jones would prove probably the better
OF the three. Mr.. Jones seems to be
better qualified, everything consid-
cred He has been in office work for
some time. and it would be possible
for him to combine this office with
his present business. in such vav
that he could give it the attention that
it requires better than the other candi-
dates. We would, advise a vote for
Mr. Jones'
1t would seem, however, that the
main contention is for mayor and this
is also by far the most imnortant
office to be considered. The candi-
dates are Mr.. Frank Whitman the
present incumbent, Mr. c. E. Burgess,
and Mr.. Valdcmar Gramm. It would
seem to us that there should he M
question in the mind on any one who
takes the circumstances into consider
alton as to who should receive this
election. Mr.: Whitman, has devoted
much of his time to this office, and
has been. more than anyone else. in
