Fergus Falls Wheelock's Weekly:
One of the finest pieces of good vigor-
Gus English which has appeared in state
politics in recent years is the letter of
P. NJ. Ringdal, setting forth his beliefs
on public questions. He is not afraid.
He knows what he wants and tells it
to the voters without reservations If
the people desire him for governor on
his own terms he will serve them, but
not otherwise. He does not juggle
meanings to get votes. Moreover, the
clcancut, virile language in which he
puts his platform makes it of value for
it's worthy style alone. if for no other
reason.

Of the board Of control is the demo

that the machine candidate will be

Norman County Herald: With such a
man as P. NJ. Ringdal in the field as a
candidate for governor. the people of
Minnesota need have little concern as
to the outcome Of the primary election
next month beyond the fact that
enough hackers Of good government and
progressive principles turn out aud
cast their votes in sufficient numbers tc
assure the nomination of Mr. Ring
'lal. Never in the history of the state
has public opinion been so UNANIMOUSLY
in favor Of candidate as it is fo1
Ringdal at this time. The press of the
state. irregardless Of political affilia
! tior. has nothing but kind words tc
say for Ringdal. The reason for this
is that he is a good clean man. a man
Of high character and ability and has
always been found on the right side OF
public issues. No better man can be

The Bon Homme County independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1904-1913, 1912-05-02

Maybe Dick Richards is a joke,
but then are two sides to every
question. At least Mr.. Richards
is treating the newspapermen of
this state right. He is candidate
for u. S. Senator, and by the way
on a mighty good platform and un
like many others does not come a.
round as a ''sponger', preying
upon the foolish credulity of the
publishers, but in a business-like
manner Offering to pay for every
line of advertising. 1t has come
to a point where the newspaper
men have allowed themselves to
be used as mops for politicians of
rank land rank records.) Mr.. Ri
chards not only talks square deal,
but practices it.
Richards has a municipalities.
That many of his political schemes
met with a total or partial failure,
is due to not that they where ''ir-
redeemably bad'' as Sen. Craw-
ford might put it, but because he
placed too much confidence in sell
fish men who upon reaching their
ends with his aid, kicked him a.
side. Richards withal, as we
have him sized up, is sincere and
honest, and if to be such is a joke,
then, well make the best of it.

careful consideration for the sake
of the measure itself"

Judge Haney of the Supreme
Court, in referring to the Richards
Primary Bill to be voted on at the
next general election, says: 1T is
designed to place principles above
candidates: to secure public offic-
ers who are in sympathy with,
and who will have every incentive
to faithfully carry out the plat
form declarations and principles
of the organization they represent;
to. give the members of each orga-
nized party power to select its can
didates and control it's policies,
and to climate the political boss.
Its enactment would tend to pre-
serve, not to destroy, party orga-
nization. The form of official pri-
mary ballot provided is simple and
scientific,
The Bon Homme County independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1904-1913, 1912-05-02

parties in this state, tho unavoid-
able since a selection must be
made, are amusing to those face
tiously inclined. For instance a
tribute is thus paid to the republi.
cans: the color of their ballot be-
ing white. The democratic are
yellow; this expression being APP
piled to certain obnoxious jour
nails. The socialistic are pink--the
socialist is a cheerful idealistic cuss
who not always feels pink. And
to the prohibitionists a blue ballot
was allotted, calling to memory
the blue laws'' of days gone, as
also the blues. And prohibi-
ton in principle is a sort of a
blue law" anyway.
