WORDS OF THANKS.

! wish to extend to the people OF
the state of North Dakota, and to my
friends in the northwestern part
thereof in particular, my sincere
thanks for your support at the pri-
maries. 1t is the first time in the
history of our state that an independ-
ent candidate has received such a
fattering endorsement, and predict
that the time is not distant when the
people will demand some independ.
ence Of those who aspire to repre-
sent them. The votes I received are
so encouraging that trust others may
take heart SO I will not be alone the
next time.
Again thank you.
Sincerely,
JAMES JOHNSON.

three teams in the field blowing up

for a bumper crop next year. His

MERIT WINS.

Praise comes TO men of the Negro
race at times, showing that merit will
win regardless OF all obstacles. sig
nal case of this IS the following from
the interior a Church organ pub
lished in Chicago, the greatest OF that
denomination in America:
The Denver Brotherhood Union at
its first banquet for the year assumed
the care of the Peoples Presbyterian
church, our organization OF Afro-Am-
ericans. For some time a heavy bur-
den Of debt has hampered its every
effort, and its own heroic struggle has
enlisted the fullest sympathies of the
men and churches of Denver. The
utmost confidence is felt in the pas
