Republican state headquarters, Far
go, N. D. To the republican voters Of
the state of North Dakota:
The republican state committee,
through it's regularly elected officers,
calls upon the republican voters of the
state to lend their aid toward the cleo
tion Of the republican state ticket
from top to bottom.
The legislature of North Dakota,
through it's republican majority, enact
ed a primary law in obedience to the
popular will. Under that primary law
nominees for the republican party have
been chosen. The republicans had
their differences before the primary
election and fought them out in June.
After the primaries there should be no
factions. The candidates nominated
are no longer candidates of any fac
ton of the republican party but they
are republican candidates.
Every consideration of party fealty
and of squareness and fairness on the
part of the republican voters demands
that the republican state candidates
be supported at the polls by the re-
publican voters of the state.
| The attempt to divide the strength
| of the republican party by the plac-
ing of a third party ticket in nomina-
ton for any or all of the offices in this
state should be seen by the republicans
in it's real significance.an attempt
merely to weaken the republican
strength, and one that can be of no
beneft except to the democrats who
are waging vigorous and persistent
campaign for the election of their en-
tire state ticket.
The democrats have had control of
the state government during the past
six years. In that time the leaders of
| the democratic party have been deyot-
ing their EFFORTS to the building up Of
democratic machine. The officers
| and agents of the democratic party are
everywhere through the state seeking
TO promote the election Of democratic
candidates, state, county and legisla-
tive The republicans of the state
should appreciate the real significance
of The attempted division OF the re-
publican strength as move which can
be only in the interests of the demo-
cratic party.
The republican ticket in this state
comprises men Of tried ability and for
| whom every republican should be
pleased to cast his ballot. The ticket
| is headed by Il 3. Hanna of Cass coun-
| ty. man of splendid ability, personal
| integrity and against whom no word
can be truthfully said. either In his
business career or private life. He
has served the state cfficiently and
honorably as congressman for the past
four years He has the business ca
pacity and knowledge of affairs to
give the state of North Dakota an ad-
ministration that shall reflect credit
] upon the state and be of hard dollars
and cents value TO every taxpayer In
the state. Mr. Hanna was fairly NOM

Washington, d. G., Sept. 26.-To The

the political scout who is sent out by

Wall street scout knows what the peo-

In this campaign is that Wall street,
having selected George w. Perkins as
it's political agent, is deluding itself
with the idea that he, as the friend
of Colonel Roosevelt, win be able TO
convince the people that monopoly is
a good thing. So it is that this arch
organizer of trusts-this designer Of

Roosevelt, to solve. This, too, Is a
very simple matter. All that is needed
is a law that will legitima tie the

Detroit Laborer Admits Killing
Two Girls
AIss Admits That He Mistreat-
ed Others
Old Mystery Has at Last Been
Cleared Up

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 3.--If the story
which George Brown Spengler told last
night proves to be true, the mystery
of crime which has puzzled the De-
troit police detectives for nearly three
years has been cleared up.
Spengler. a laborer, aged 80, was ar
rested in connection with the murder
of 12-year- old Matilda Refs, whose
nlutilated body was found in an alley
near her home last Tuesday night
Spengler confessed not only to having
killed and mistreated this girl, but
told the police he had mistreated and
murdered Helen Brown, aged II, whose
body was found in coal yard Dec. 12
1909 ys,se -I f-g /.
Four other girls have been attacked
in Detroit in the last thirteen months,
One OF them was permanently injured
The others were less seriously hurt
Spengler admits responsibility for two
OF these offenses.
With Spengler's arrest, it was first
thought the mysterious prowler, who
has terrorized Detroit women for more
than a year, had been discovered, but
early today city detectives stated their
belief that Spengler was not the per-
petrator of these outrages.
