Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1910-11-03

This is the last issue Of the Record
that will appear before election, and
the editor wishes to call the attention
of its readers to few facts connected
with the campaign.
The candidates for governor are
John Burke and Charles A. johnson.
Mr.. Burke is running for his third
term He has been in parts of the
state, making speeches. He has de-
clared himself snon-partisan' can
didate. This is not true. a list OF
his appointees which is being pub
lished shows that during his four
years in the executive chair he has
built up a powerful democratic
machine. In his more important APP
pointments he has paid no attention
whatever to the wishes Of the people
even OF the democrats. Every move
that he has made has been in the
interest OF the personal fortunes and
ambitions OF himself. In his inaugur-
al address, he said:
III the people really believe in the
election of United States senator by
direct vote, then our present laws
should be amended SO that each party
could nominate its candidate, AND
THE CANDIDATE RECEINING
THE HIGHEST n U NJ b Err OF
VOTES AT THE GENERAL ELEC-
TION SHOULD BECHOSEN SEN
ATOR BY THIS BODY, REGARD
LESS OF POLITICS.
Now, let us see whether Governor
Burke has been more consistent in this
matter than he has been in claiming
in his speeches that he Is a mon par
tisan candidate .
Remember-as shown by the above
extract from his message-he asserts
that the candidate receiving the high
est number OF votes should be chosen
In other words, he would have for
senator the man leading at the polls.
Let us see how his assertions agree
with his performances.
At the primary election in 1905
Thomas Marshall, the Progressive
Republican candidate, received 2l.527
votes, leading the next highest can.
didate by more than 900 votes.
Here was an expression OF the will
OF the Progressive voters, who had
made his election possible
AT the regular election Martin n.
johnson was chosen. He died during
his term.
Did the governor appoint Thomas
Marshall to the position made vacant
by the death of Senator johnson: liz
did not.
At the primary election State sena-
tor Cashel, democrat, received e,713;
votes to 4,466 FOR State Senator Pur
cell. This was . majority of more
than 1900 for Mr.. Cashel.
When Mr.. johnson died did Cover

AS TO THE LIBEL LAW.
North Dakota Has One Of the Strong
est in the Union, but II Was Not
Passed to Protect the Repu-
tation of Rascals.

y friend at Glencoe writes to us that,
1T IS teported up that way by friends
OF Armstrong and Herolz that the
reason those WORTHLESS and others whom
we have criticised in the Record do
not proceed against us is that there is
no libel law in North Dakota. Such
is not fact. This state has one of
the moststringent OF libel laws. III it
can be proved that a newspaper man
has llbeled anybody, he can be sent to
the pententiary. The Record editor is
himself the author of the law. having
introduced it at the 1905 session of
the legislature. And it is right. No
newspaper should attack anybody UNI
less it can prove the truth Of its as.
sertions. We always take mighty
good care 10 know that we have such
proofs before we critcise politicians
or anybody else. And we have never
said word about Armstrong, Herolz
and others of that class which we can
not prove.
Section ss1.s of the Revised Codes of
North Dakota, 1905. says that Every
person who makes or composes. die
Gates or procures the same to be done.
or who wilfully publishes or circulates
such libel, or in any way knowingly
aids in or assists in making, publish
ing or circulating the same, is guilty
OF felony.
There are a number or other sec.
tions in the libel law defining the
method of enforcing the law, etc.
In addition TO the drastic criminal
libel statutes in this state, there are
laws providing for the collection of
damages in civil suit.
Anybody who kn5ws that an editor
in North Dakota is not telling the
truth about him can make matters
very uncomfortable for such editor in
the courts. But the law was not in
tended for the protection OF rascals.

Only Two Proposed Amendments

Some editors seem to be careless.
There is scarcely a daily in the state
whose editor has not gravely in
formed his readers that three con-
stltutional amendments are to be
voted on at the election next Tues
day. 1t is a mistake. Some of these

settler Mr. Pitts was popular with
the voters, as Is shown by the tar
that re carried the county. But here
ia Lint on, where both the candidates
live, Weatherby had twenty-cne mn
jority Now, II hardly seems reason
able that seventy-two voters would
have cast their ballot for Mr.. Wealth
erby in Linton had he been the
kind 4 man that Heroz, Armstrong
and Rocks say he is. The chances are
that the Linton voters average up as
to goodness and intelligence with
the rest OF the county. Why not:
Have they not for many years had the
benefit OF the example OF that truly
good man, G. a. Herolz: Has not II
A. Armstrong, that shining light Of
virtue and morality, for many moons
allowed the citizenry of this village TO
gaze upon his handsome countenance
and absorb the knowledge given by his
dictionary words? Hence. we say, it
is impossible that the considerable
majority of Lintonites who voted for
Weatherby two years ago are people
fit only .'for stratagems and spoils
In other words, If we I.intonites did
not know that the stories which Rocks.
Heroll and Armstrong are telling
about Weatherby are Lies from the
mouths Of liars, we certainly would
not value him enough TO give him a
majority. 1t is neither reasonable
nor logical to believe otherwise.
Well, after the primary, at which
Pitts won out, Weatherby congratu-
lated his opponent and voted for him
at the regular election. 1t was a
clear, good-natured contest, as far as
Weatherby and Pitts were concerned.
Although he is the same Weatherby
then that he is now, and all the
knowledge of the things they accuse
him 1 now was In the gizzards of Her
OLE, Armstrong and Rocks then, there
were no circulars against him and
none Of the dirty work that has been
done against him in this campaign.
Probably they thought it wasn't nee
esSar1 then.
The fact of the matter is that MIR.

town rs Heroic and Armstrong are de-
spise,l. Here, where all three are
known, he could beat either one of

Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, Pete
Rocks, Henry the Eighth, Queen
Elizabeth, John Snyder, Daniel Web
ster, Scott Cameron, the editor of
the Record, and many other shining
lights Of history. 1t seems to be GER
tain that the people here consider
that he sizes up pretty we'll with the
Good Gus and the Moral Henry. These
who know him best are his strong per-
sonal friends-which is a pretty good
criterion for judgment by those who
are not we'll acquainted with him.

two trips to Mr.. Ivey's place, and re-
main there long time, before he
could persuade MIR. lvey to sign the
statement Armstrong had prepared.

to those who are inclined to value him

age of the valuation he places upon
himself an explanation is due. In
another part OF the Record MIR. LYNN
explains the matters referred to by
MIR. Armstrong in his letter signed by
MIR. lvey. Mr. Lynn also gives his

the innocent soul of Mr.. Armstrong
because he couldn't get the buildings

From all over the county word
comes that the Just before election

suit intended by Herolz and Arm
