Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1908-12-24
4 FEW "ADvocATe" sPAsMs.

Below we give = series Of literary
spastns thrown by the Advocate mar
last week. II will be remembered
that this same Advocate man b the
gentleman that has heretofore kept
absolutely quiet while the other news
papers Of the county were Informing
the people Of the county that tb<
board OF county commissioner were
running the Affairs Of the county with
out any regard Whatever for the lsw
Of the state, whenever such Law came
in conflict with their "owp sweet will. y
We call particular attention to the
artistic grammar and beautiful diction
Of the Advocate article.
The rotten dope which is beina
hashed and rehashed in some Of the
weekly and fortnightly periodicals Of
this county lat the instigation Of the
Car of Emmons who has to let loose
sabout so often) in their endeavOrs to
try to besmirch the characters of our
county commissioners-A BODY OF
MEN THAT WOULD DO MUCH
HONOR TO ANY COMMUNITY. has
about as much weight with the peo-
pie, we believe, as snow ball in.
Talk about grand Jury investisa-
ton, bring it on-no danger, they are
merely wasting their wind on the des-
ert air However, what could the
average grand jury accomplish?
LET'S HIRE SOME EXPERT AC-
COUNTANT and have things inves-
tigated properly, because II there has
been any crooked work we would all
like to know about it, and while the
cleaning up is going on, let's make
1T general and thorough. Talk about
law enforcement, it Is truly amusing
and at the same time disgusting Our
esteemed contemporary and his col
leagues could find plenty Of good
material on this subject to write
about, but no that would not do.
they would be stepping on the toes
of their most ardent supporters.
While they are taking SO much inter-
est in the taxpayers welfare, why
don't they expose some Of the real
rottenness and doings that has been
going on, and at the same time see
that their own nose is kept clean.
The big hullabaloo being made in
this county over nothing, is certainly
a disgrace and the people should not
stand for such rot. The first real
cause of all this dope being printed
is due to the fact that the commits
sioners are men with minds Of their
own and cannot be handled by the
gang, and the next most important
reason is BECAUSE THEY ARE
TOO CONSERVATIVE AND ARE
LOOKING TOO MUCH TO THE IN
TEREST OF THE TAXPAYERS OF
EMMONS COUNTY. LITTLE DO
THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS COUN-
TY REALIZE WHAT A CONSER-
vATIvE BODY OF COMMISSION
ERS THEY HAVE, and We would
like to see every taxpayer investi-
gate for himself, in place Of listen
ing to the whimperings Of dyed-in-
the-wool gang politician. People in
vestigate for yourselves and put q

continually thrown upon you by thit
character defamer of q state wide re.
putation. In q recent issue he
comes out like regular SISSY" and
condemns the board for giving tht
Advocate the work Of printing the
election ballots. Now wasn't tina,
awful? He also goes on to STATE
that it was necessary for him L
spend 500 several years ago to Sc
cure enough extra material for thu
printing of these ballots. 1t seem
so strange why some people will us
