RATHER SMALL. ).

The Crystal Call criticises the book
let issued by the Pembina committee il,
q very peevish sort It complains that
the committee did not have more pic.
lures showing the outside Of the build.
ings as we'll as the inside. Well, as this
has been much discussed phase of the
county seat question, and if the outside
OF the buildings are an argument Why
did not the Cavalier committee who came
here May last and took photographs Of
the buildings, publish themY The
booklet does not in any way seek to
make out that there is but one building,
on the contrary it mentions the fact
that the vaults are isolated and adds
that they are safer for that fact. Then
the Call complains that in one case we
omitted to say whether the registers
vault measurements were outside or
inside. and that we thereby Intentional
ly attempted to commit great fraud
on the public. As the fact is mentioned
in the case of every:other vaultspecified,
that to some reasonable people might
seem that this one was an inadvertent
and unimportant commission. However,
the Call seems to have what it calls the
correct figures at its elbow and gives
the inside dimensions as 7.4xl8.4, which
correction is accepted as probably
about right and just shows that the
unsafe and dangerous" registers vault,
which is absolutely remote from all
possibility of fire except at one end, has
fire proof brick walls very nearly 20
inches thick-which was not just what
the Call was trying to show.

are better known than these. All ar,
popular and competent. In the case vi
these nominees. there is larger pol,ti
cal question involved which is tn,
election OF U. S. senator. 1t might b,
that the result in this county nigh,
make the difference between a republi
can or democratic majority in the T.. 8
senate. Hence, while you are VOTING

also voting for U. s. senator-wherf

In voting for governor, the Same
thought comes to the front. Gov
Burke's appointments to the U. 8
senate and other state officials shou
that he is a democrat and that makes 8
difference that the republican vote,
cannot afford to ignore.
As to county officers the list is before
the voters. As we said they are SO well
known that we do not have to introduce
q single one to the voters. We are plad
to notice the general verdict that VIM

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

Owing to the peculiar issue of the
local campaign the Pioneer Express has
had but little space to spare the anxious
candidates for local or state Offices.
Still these issues are of Importance to
the voter as we'll as the moving of the
county seat.
The Republican party Of the county
at the primary election nominated a
good ticket all around, All of them
are either candidates to succeed
themselves or else are men who have
been in prominence before the people
for many years.
With these men 60 we'll known it is
of little use to make much personal
mention in the paper as the people know
them as well as we do.
That each and every one of them will
be elected if the republicans of the
county vote for them is an apparent
fact. And from this point of view there
is no good reason why che republican
party should not elect them.
It is unfortunate that the county
seat battle should be permitted to have
such an overshadowing influence in the
choice of these officers. It would be far
better that county seat removal ques-
lions should be settled in special cleo.
tions where no other questions are
involved.
So far as the Pembina committee is
concerned we can say that they have
as far as possible tried to separate the
political questions and candidates from
the local issue.
The Cavalier committee have pur-
sued exactly the opposite course and
have attempted to nominate and inter-
fere with all possible candldates. They
have since the primary election practi
cslly threatened any candidate with
defeat unless he doomed for Cavalier.
Such action ls very detrimental to
partizsn or personal choice.
