Casselton Reporter: Hanna and
Helgesen are put down as congression-
al winners. If tho people settle it tina
way they will be looking out for their
interests. And McCumber and Gronna
will also go to the senate-they repre-
sent the best things for ALL
Lisbon Free Press; The republican
who is too good to vote for the state
ticket selected at fair primary and
representing the choice of nominees by
the rank and file, is too good 10 be
even considered member of the
grand old party.
Edmore Herald: We do not know
of democrat who has one word to say
against G. A. Johnson, the republican
candidate for governor. The only play
they are making Is against Alex Me-
Kenzie, but Mckenzie is not q factor
in this campaign at all. He is down
and out and the democrats know it,
but they think by keeping up the howl
of Mckenzie that they can fool enough
republicans into voting for Burke to
elect him Will they be able to do it?
Maddox Standard: We have been
trying to discover something great and
good that Governor Burke has done
for North Dakota that wuld entitle him
to a third term, but thus far we have
discovered nothing done by him but
that it could have been done equally
well by any other man of plain. orCli-
mary intelligence-unless it should be
his salary grab Something like this,
1T may be, would require more simon
pure gan than most people have-but
that isn't much to the. credit OF the
governor anyway.
Brinsmade Star: 1t is really anus
ling to say the least to note how the
opponents of c. A. Johnson gloat over
their statement that his nomination
Twas secured by the "bosses," "the
gang" 1t is an insignificant state
ment, but it is singular fact, never
theless, that it was more than 10000
| individual voters-bosses if you will
that said they wanted johnson as their
candidate. Yet in the face of this fact
the democrats contend that Johnson's
nomination was encompassed by Alex
Mckenzie. Strange circumstance this
that there should have been more than
10000 McKenzies in the state at last
primary election.
/ Bowman Pioneer: At the primary
election held in June, you no doubt
took part and voted for your choice
for the nominee for governor. Maybe
you voted for Johnson, Buchanan. Aaker
or some of the other candidates, but
you did not vote for Burke, the demo-
cratic candidate. C. A. Johnson was
placed in nomination and has the ac-
tive support OF the other republicans
who were candidates for the same Of
flee at the primary election. They
know more about Mr.. Johnson than we
do and would not support him If he
was not a man who would administer
the affairs of that office in a just and
equitable manner
Now, is there any reason why you
as a republican, who voted the republi-
can ticket at the primary election
should vote the democratic ticket al
the general election?
