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


show an increase for johnson over the
vote OF two years ago. II the precincts
OF Emmons county are criterion.
W. p. Tuttle of Dawson, kidder
county, ought to receive every Repub-
lican vote in this t26th) senatorial
district. Col futile Is the man
agains, whom Herolz directed his
circular work" two years ago. 1t
was Mr.. futile against whom Herolz
procured letter from his wife. accuS-
ing him OF things which were proved
to be untrue when the case came to
trial in the district court-the de-
cision being in Col. TuttIe's favor
in that court, and also in the supreme
court, when tried there Our readers
will remember that campaign. 1t
was the campaign in which Heroic,
after procuring the lady to write .
circular, tried, in the presence of sew
eral witnesses, to throw the response
bility on the Vtor Of the Advocate by
saying the circular was dirty poll
tics, and who, also in the presence Of
witnesses, denied asking Mrs. futile
for the letter.
Colonel Tuttle, after being unfairly
and illegally deprived Of his seat at
the last session. was renominated At
the recent primary by a good-sized
majority. He has, in both primaries,
made fair and clean campaign, and
he certainly is entitled to the sup
port of the republicans OF the district.
There is one thing that Republicans
who do not wish to leave possibility
| of two Democratic United States
Senators representing this state
should take into consideration. AL
though Mr.. Gronna and Mr.. McCum-
Der were the choice of the Republic
ans at the primary, that does not
mean that their troubles are neces-
sariy over. The primary vote as to
United States senators is simply ad-
visory. 1t is not binding at all. The
supreme court has even decided that
the pledge given by legislative can :
didate when he files his petition is
not binding Ia law. The federal laws
Require U. s. senators to be elected
by the legislature. To choose Repub-
lican q. S. senator's that legislature
mnst have IA majority on joint ballot
| that is, majority of the total mem
bership of house and senate. So it
will be seen that every Republican
who fails to vote for both futile and
Streeter simply strengthens the pos
sibility of one or two Democrats being
chosen in this district, who, IS a mat
ter of course, would vote for the Dem
ocratic candidates for United States
senators-M essrs Purcell and Brueg-
ger.
This fact should not be overlooked.
10 their tight against the Republic
an legislative ticket Herolz, Arm
strong & Co do not call this fact to
the minds of the voters. They do not
tell them that in a recent circular to
democratic workers sent out by
Chairman Macarthur, of the Demo
cratic state committee, that gentle
man explodes Governor Burke's mon.
partisan pretensions by saying that
an attempt is to be made to capture
the legislature and the entire state
4 ticket. And Heroic s. Armstrong
don't tell the Republican voters that
in opposing Streeter and futile they
are doing just that much to give the
Democrats a possible majority in the
legislature, which would mean the de.
feat of McCumber and Gronna for the
United States senate.
