Are you doing your share of the
work for the public good? Have you
studied the questions before the people
to see that you know what shall be
done? If you have, have you done
what you can to help your neighbors to
see the right thing the right way?
There is plenty of work to do. Let us
all do our part. We are responsible
for as much as we can do.

Result Of Tuesdays Election

Election is over. After the conven-
tons were held last summer the Leader
predicted the election of a democratic
president. Wilson and Marshall will be
the heads of the government for four
wears after March 4 next. The house
of Representatives is democratic and
the Senate is in doubt but favoring the
democrats. 1t is probable that the
democrats will have full control of the
National government-the first time
since 1893. Wilson will have more than
400 votes in the electoral college. Taft
gets Utah and Vermont. Roosevelt
gets Illinois, Kansas, Michigan and
Washington. Idaho, New Hampshire,
Wyoming, Pennsylvania and South Da-
kota are close and still in doubt Wilson
getting all other states including North
! Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
In the state Hanna, as we have al
ways expected, has been elected COVER
nor. Governor Burke has made a good
governor for the state, has inagurated
many reforms and has been instru-
mental in placing the state on a bust
ness basis. The business affairs of the
state have been placed on a sound
basis under Governor Burke's admin
stration and good progress has been
made. All that has been gained under
Governor Burke, though, is likely to be
lost when Hanna comes to the helm.
Hanna is the very soul and embodiment
Of the old republican standpattism in
North Dakota. Hanna's election means
the return to McKenzieism and the
people will have to be on the alert in
order to get their rights. The seat of
power is likely to be moved from the
capitol at Bismarck back to the Mer-
chants Hotel at St. Paul and there
matters of interest to the state and it's
people will be discussed and disposed of
as it was prior to Burke's election to
the governorship-The equalization
board of which the governor is a men,
Der is one of the important boards-and
one in which the taxpayers are vitality
interested. 1t was customary for this
board to meet at the Merchants Hotel
at St. Paul and fix railroad valuations,
but to this Burke put a stop. Hanna
will want to revert back to the old
custom.
The Leaders candidates for Congress
Norton. Young and Helgeson will be
North Dakota's congressmen-all good
In the county the republican ticket
makes a clean sweep. The only close
contest being on the authorship
Stocker winning over Thompson by
something close to 100 votes. The So
~cialists casting over 400 votes in the
county. The proposition Of allowing
stock to not run at large carried by a
large vote. There will be no open sea-
son hereafter.

Don't get excited. don't become

v%enturing into a competitors place Of
business. Remember this is a free
country; that your customer may con-
tinue to be a valuable asset, even
though he deals occasionally with a
competitor who, perchance, may be an
enemy of yours. This steady customer
may have great respect for your COM

why he should extend patronage to him.
You should not desire that your friends

We should cut out this enemy racket as

have filled its crater with productive soil
