The most important official to be ell
ected in this state on November 5th is
a Judge Of the Supreme Court of North
Dakota. Hon. A. A. Bruce was ap-
pointed by Governor Burke to fill a
vacancy in this court caused by the
resignation of the late Judge Morgan.
Judge Bruce was formerly Dean of the
Law Department Of the University of
this state. A position which he had
held for years with honor to himself
and credit to this great state. He has
made an able hard working and con-
%scientious Judge during the time he has
been on the bench. He is a t~ireless
worker and a broad minded we'll posted
man having in the different capacities
in which he has served the public been
brought into actual contact with the
many diverse interests and needs of the
people, he is we'll qualified to Judge
their differences. A vote for Judge
Bruce will be a vote for the right, man
in the right place.

The proposed constitutional amend
ments published in this issue have been
run for thirty days and should be
familiar to all. If you have not read
them you should do so before going to
the polls next Tuesday. One amend
ment refers to the sale of school lands
to railroad companies. allowing them to
get a patent on the land as soon as
principal and interest are paid. The
next provides for the purchasing and
operating by the state of grain eleva-
tors. The third refers to increasing
the term of Office of Judges of Supreme
court from six to ten years. Many are
opposed to this amendment believing
that if the judge be able, faithful and
honest he will be reelected by the
people at the end Of six years, and if
he is not, six years, is all the time he
should be tolerated on the bench. Any
person who does not vote at all on this
proposition in effect votes for it. 1t is
a safe proposition on all constitutional
amendments, if the voter is doubtful
or does not understand the full force of
any amendment, to vote mo"

Flushing, N. "a campaign against
the housefiy which was inaugurated by
the town authorities here a few weeks
ago has resulted in a curious compli.
cation owing to the rivalry of local
small boys for the prizes offered Ia
those turning in the largest quantity
of dead flies.
As the campaign waxed warmer,
the supply Of flies began to diminish

testants devised %fly-breeding establish.

ting hung above this breeding place,
a catch ola pint or more was insured
every day.
Members of the Anti-F1y society
we're puzzled at the sudden increase in
the fly pest until some one revealed
the truth. The officials are uncertain
whether to end their campaign or to
have a raid made on the breeding
places.

Nels Olesen, of Mercer, has announc-
ed himself as an independent candidate
for the legislature. As shown by a re-
count of the votes at the primaries he
received a majority of one vote over j.
T. Hoge, Of Underwood, but the courts
held that the service in the contest
proceedings were irregular and refused
to consider the case. The fact, how
ever, remains that Mr.. Olesen received
a majority Of the votes at the primary
and he naturally feels that he should
have had the nomination. He is now
asking the voters who voted for him at
the primaries and such as believe in
a square deal to give him their vote
and support Nov. s. Mr.. Olesen's name
will not appear on the ballot, and those
who wish to vote for him will use q
sticker or write his name in the space
provided for that purpose IN the ballot.
Mr.. Olesen's announcement is published
in another column.

Congress has made two appropria-
tions for revettment work at Washburn
-aggregating some SIS, 600. A year
ago the Washburn Commercial club
m%emorialized Congressman Hanna for
his good Offices in their behalf, looking
to the expenditures Of the money.
Nothing definite was heard until spring
when it was reported to the people of
Washburn that it was too late for work
then. but that the matter would be
taken up again this fall and given APP
propriate consideration. We have
heard it rumored that in this connect
ion one Capt. 1. P. Baker had the ear
and preference services of our worthy
congressman to that of the citizens of
Washburn.

The G~overnorship

l.. b. Hanna is a candidate for Cover
nor. You will find his name on the re-
publican ticket. He has been Congress
mar for four years and prior to that
he was state senator and member of
the North Dakota house of representa-
tives-serving fourteen years as Con-
gresham and member of the North
Dakota legislature. He is now asking
the voters to elect him to the governor
ship. He was nominated at the pri-
maries by a majority of less than 1000.
In the Red River valley and in the
eastern part of the state where he has
lived and done business as a banker for
the past thirty years he was defeated
by his opponent, James A. Buchanan,
by a very heavy vote. He received a
big vote however, in the western part
of the state-the homestead country
Morton county giving him a majority of
over 1900.
L. B. Hanna is rated as one of North
Dakota's wealthy men. He has a
reputation of making shrewd invest
ments and of loaning his money at a
good stiff rate of interest. He is q
cousin Of the late Marcus A. Hanna, OF
Ohio, who at one time represented that
state in the United States Senate and
had reputation of being next man to
the president and saw to it that the
trusts and money interests were well
cared for. When Hanna Of North Da-

London.-Herbert Hall Turner, pro

quarterly, Bedrock, expresses the opin.
ion that fixed stars are constantly and

he says, the quicker it moves. Young
stars are, perhaps, not subject to grav.
rational attraction and do not acquire
the properties of matter" until later
in life. It is suggested by the pro.
lessor that there are two kinds OF
matter, what is known as the matter
of the tellurians, which repels that
which might be called anti-matter, SO
that there is a mutual repulsion as well
as a mutual attraction among the
stars.

political ADVERTISEMENT

kota, who is now a candidate fol
governor, got down to Congress he
readily fell in the ways of his illustrious
uncle Marcus A. and lined up strong
with Speaker Cannon and his ike, voted
for the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill ant
said ''aye" when the bill passed ap'
propriating recess mileage and per diem
to the tone of 20 cents per mile which
was never earned. Mr.. Hanna is a
good advertiser, is a rich man, makes
liberal use of printers ink and employs
a wide-awake, up-to-date press agent,
but the foregoing things are some OF
the things he does not advertise to the
North Dakota voters. He does make
much capital, however, of the purported
fact that he was the daddy and cham
pion in Congress of the 3-year home
stead law. This Swear homestead
law was introduced in the Senate De-
cember Z, 1909, by Senator Borah of
Idaho. and when it passed April l6,
1912, was Senate Bill No. 1867, by Mr.,
Borah of Idaho-not House Bill by Mr..
Hanna, of North Dakota. (The official
facts regarding this you will see in
another column Of this issue of the
Leader.) We would ask you to read
this and form your own opinion of
Hanna's authorship Of the 3-year Home
atead law.
In public life Mr.. Hanna has an Al
reputation as a ''promiser' and an
equally good reputation as a non-ful-
filler of promises. He is a political
trimmer. He does not hesitate to de-
ceive so long as it serves to advance
the political fortunes of l.. B. Hanna.
Two years ago he was the only stall
wart candidate for Congress in the
state. He paired with all the other
candidates-with Helgeson, Lauder,
Young, johnson and Blaisdell-and this
resulted in his election. Last March
just before the Presidential primaries
he came pellmell from Washington to
deliver the state to Roosevelt and in
cidentally to himself for governor.
When the Roosevelt fellows organized
last August they did not recognize
Hanna as progressive and nominated
w. D. Sweet for governor. Hanna is
now back as a stalwart and is out for
Taft for President. He is asking for
your vote on his record in public life.

er of the third district, is here this

date for reelection and is sure to re-
ceive the hearty support of all the vot-
ers in his district. He has given his
office the best of attention and has the
county's best interest in mind at all
times. He deserves the vote of all
who believe in economy in county funds.

Do not forget to vote for Geo. p.
Gibson for County Judge. Mr. Gibson
has practiced law at Washburn for over
eleven years, and has never held g
county Office. At the primaries in June
he received, as against his two oppon-
ents, in his home precinct 102 votes out
of l24 republican votes cast which to
some extent is an indication of his
standing in the community where he
has lived for so many years.
