Mr.. Lackey is a man of abili-

one who knows the needs of
the people of this county and
would, as a legislator, bring to
bear all his energies to best
serve the whole people. His
integrity is above question and
his ability above par. The
democratic party is proud of
him and, if elected, as he should
be, every citizen of Bottineau

afflliation, will share in that
pride. w.

CANDIDATES for state and ma

course, unable to meet each
individual voter and of neces-
sity must stand on carefully
constructed political platforms.
Within a county, however, it is
different. The citizens have
opportunity to measure the
man and his capabilities for
service. They should do so.
They should hire their county
servants as the wise farmer

The recent investigation by

publican national committee,
particularly with reference to
the contributions made by the
Standard Oil company. through
John D. Archbold, to the cam
paign funds of 1904, has forced
Theodore Roosevelt to resort
again to his peculiar method Of
defense, that of calling every
one supporting the charges that
reflect on him a liar"
Senator Boies Penrose of
Pennsylvania testities that the
Standard Oil company gave
500, 600 to Cornelius N. Bliss,
treasurer of the republican ma
tional committee, and sent
$25, 600 to Penrose to help carry
the state of Pennsylvania.
Senator Penrose alleges that
this was with the knowledge
of Roosevelt and that later a
request was made for $3.50, 600
more.
John D. D.Archbold, being cali
ed as witness, supports every
allegation made by Penrose
and adds that, following the
refusal by Standard Oil to give
another $50, 900, an outrage
GUS persecution" Of Standard
Oil was commenced. N +.
Archbold testifes that Teasur-
er Bliss assured him that the
contribution was acceptable: to
Colonel Roosevelt and that
further contributions would be
acceptable. '' 1s
