:. NdlIey city Times RECORD: North
Dakota has reason to show especial
pride regarding two of her citizens
Professor Bolley and Commissioners
Laid. Not that there are no others
to whom she owes gratitude and honor.
but that here are two men who have
held themselves aloof from all faint of
the petty personalities that mark so
many men who are i'm the public eye.
The work of Commissioner Ladd has
attracted national attention, and from
coast to coast other pure food commits
Isioners refer to his work In seeking in
formation of their own ideas and acts.
Professor Bolley Is another national
character in his particular line, and the
fact that he goes before the national
gathering of paint men to give them
his ideas is significant Of the estima-
ton in which he is held by business
men of one of the largest industries
| In America.
| jamestown Alert: 1t is a pertinent
question-are the democrats, by their
candidates or speakers, either state
or national asking any men of their
own party to vote for a single repub-
lican candidate? AS far as known not
a single instance of this kind has been
heard of, but the democrats are ur-
gently calling upon republicans to sup
port the democratic candidates. They
ask republicans to break up their own
party in order to build up and strength
en- the democratic machine Every re-
publican knows that all the great re-
forms and every statute of progressive
Legislation, has been secured by the
republican party through its platform
and its leaders backed by the great
sustaining membership of the party it,
self. To desert this party and refuse to
support its reputable nominees simply
because of a flattering invitation and
rank cajolery on the part of democrats
is something that nd fair-minded and
loyal republican can consent to do.
Dickinson Post: When the news was
received here that Andy Miller, in a
speech at a republican meeting held
in Hettinger county, had advised his
hearers to vote for the recollection of
Governor Burke, the greatest indigna-
tion was expressed on every side, vot-
ers of both parties condemning in no
uncertain language such a course
Miller is a candidate for reelection to
the office of attorney general of the
state and he was nominated as re-
publican by republicans and such
treacherous action on his part in be-
traying his party and those who voted
for him calls for the strongest kind of
a denunciation. Republicans here were
astounded and at first were loath to
believe that Miller would act so despic-
ably, and now they have no words
strong enough to express their con-
tempt for such underhand methods as
have been employed by Miller, backed,
of course, by Governor Burke and his
advisors. He had some friends up this
way, but if he could have heard their
comments he certainly wouldn't be
shaking hands with himself over his
throw down of those who nominated
him. In fact, some went so far as to
say that he had acted like veritable
Benedict Arnold, the prince of all Am
eriean traitors.
Grand Forks Times: Here are the
facts concerning G. A. Johnson as a
man, as these facts have been develop
ed and proven. He has lived in Minot
ever since it became city of any size
years publicly assert that he is clean,
temperate honest, industrious, progress
sive and intelligent
He served four terms as county SUI
perintendent of Ward. county, pretty
fair sample of public confidence. He
served his city as mayor and the law
abiding citizens reelected him.
good endorsement from home. He was
elected twice to the legislature by the
same people. good proof that he
served them ably and honestly. He
has twice been the choice of the re-
publican party in fair primary cleo
tion in which all men were equal and
this is token of state wide apprecia-
ton.
1t was asserted that the business
people of his home city were not in
sympathy with him, but 164 of them
signed a public statement that they
were with him and that he was in
every way qualified for the position
of governor That endorsement from
a city of 5000 is the strongest testi-
monial any candidate could ask.
That is C. A. Johnson, republican
candidate for governor, as he is. Need
any voter fear to vote for such man?
Does any one fear that he would not
be true to his campaign promises in
the face of such endorsements from
those who know him?
Dickinson Post: Next Tuesday is
election day and it is up to the voters
of the republican party to say whether
or not on the evening of Nov. g. North
Dakota will again be in the list of re-
publican states that have elected demo-
cratic governors, or where it belongs
| in the republican column. 1t is up to
the republican voters to decide whether
John Burke shall have another oppor-
tunity of appointing a democrat to the
United States senate. He cannot be
re- elected governor without the votes
| of republicans. He is expecting and
asking for these votes. Nearly every
public institution in the state is under
the control of the democratic party.
These institutions can be rescued from
the control OF that party IL every re-
publican does his duty at the polls next
Tuesday.
Should John Burke be re-elected 1t
| will mean that not for six years can
the republicans again secure control
| of the state institutions 1T will. mean
an increase of power for the democratic
machine that has been constructed
since Mr.. Burke assumed the chief ex-'
