THEIR TRADITIONS
Why did the senate Of North Dak

III THEIR TRADITIONS
g. Why did the senate Of North Dakota
CLEAR the district Judge Of this district
aThis is written more as commentary
\ 90 the political complexion of that in
1-re sting body than With reference to
: The local aspect Of the tioub,e) What
{ made Senator Simpson, the Slope
4 gstatesman of the POLISHED demeanor
and the ingratiating voc4, La Moure,
the chief of the Penn mas and vice
regent Of the domain Of McEenzieism
I'm this state, Gunders1r the Aneta
prodigy of unmitigatel readiness for
serving the staiwarts of North Dakota,
Jacobsen the jumping-jacK OF the sem
sate machine, tMe-Too" Martin, he of
&ie pompous waddle and the swagger-
Eng strut, Duncan, the benson county
bogus progressive, with rhe cultivated
f1viety and sanctity Of der eanor un-
iEqualed since the days o. Utah lIeep,
3ssnd the host Of others. what made
them clear the honorable Judge. They
had to gentlemen, we state this with
ant fear of con rs diction. They had to.
They must either repudiato their own
personal records or uphold the honor
able judge. 1t would never do for
Simpson to vote to convict Cowan. Nay
may, gentle reader. Not while the dar.
: lper little expounder of the spacious
$HapdoOdle of our friend Leslie A., is
ON the job mindful of his own tradi-
liens. 1t would be terrible if Simpson
Satad TO put man out for being
Z = protector Of blind-pigs. He really
4 Wouldn't do it. You see, Simpson him
Self, once in the dim and distant past
6 was disbarred for protecting che blind
Riggers- And these same blind-piggers
would wriggle their toes and turn
!: over in the graves if they saw their
( friend Leslie A. going back on a tried
! and true friend of the blind pigger
ike the district judge on trial. Simple
matter to account for Simpsons vote.
How about Jud La Moure? Easily
Explained. For twenty years the moe
sasins of the. chief of the Pembinas
nave continually dripped with muck of
political cess pools and reeked with
W. she rottenness of political skuldiggery
4 icionsly and skillfully put over on
he busy people of a growing western
N 5tafe. Jud couldn't do it. No. no, he
&8 III never went back ION a friend unless
Il le had something to gain by so doing.
p and ne had nothing to gain by going
s| aaek on the Judge except a name for
SSs ssing honest with himself in the final
yet ut his career, "a consideration not
he mentioned in the same breath

hiking men must stand together"
