The candidacy of c. A. Johnson for
governor has been kindly received by
the newspapers of the state. Every
republican paper on the Courant's ex-
change list has contained favorable
mention of the Minot man and only
three insurgent sheets saw fit to mis-
represent him by insinuating that he
had been brought out as the candidate
of an alleged boss. "-Bottineau Cour-

shall for United States senator, of
course the next best thing to do is to
vote for M. N. Johnson" is the advice

newspaper and mouthpiece. 1t looks
as though the advice was timely and
good-and it will be followed by fair
minded urgents.-Bottineau Cour-
ant.
