The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1912-10-25

Our friend, Editor Wilson, who ad /.
vertises with much self complacency
that he publishes "the only democratic
newspaper in the county" is just now
exhorting (republican) people to forget
party affection and vote for any old
ldemocratic) candidate. As the repub.
licans are in the majority in this state
and county the motive of this exhort.
alton is obvious to the naked eye, in fact
Z blind man with his eyes shut could see
through it We just wonder about how
many republican candidates there ara
TO whom Mr.. Wilson viii personally
apply his doctrine Of jumping party lines.

Now we come down to the county
poor" There's Billy Felson-do you
know him, have you had any occasion
to do business with him? II so we have
no need to introduce him to you.
Whether you know 1T or not he has had
lots Of business for you il not with you.
He Is the 'jack-of.all- work" in the county
and looks after all the miscellaneous
and heterogeneous matters-and there's
q lot of it. Billy knows all about this
pile Of odds and ends and it would take
q new man several years to catch on.
Why change?

Then there's George Roadhouse, the
gentle register Of deeds. Indeed his
deeds are on record in double sense. Is
there anybody IN the county that can
fill the register Of deeds chair with more
fitness than The genial George? Why
change?

w. j. Watts Of Bay Center is q new
candidate for county commissioner in
the place OF Jos. NORM who has resigned
as candidate. Mr.. Watts has always
occupied a prominent place in political
circles as straight republican, has been
. township officer for many years and
has also been q useful member Of the
state legislature. Say, Friend Watts,
when you get there, will you please ask
about the cost Of drainage in this county?
Don't seem to be anybody concerning

any say.

For Hanna there's nothing the
matter with Hanna. The republicans Of
this state have presented the governor
ship to the democrats for three terms;
we hardly see the necessity of that sort
of thing becoming fixed habit. We
are not sure but some disgruntled re-.
publicans will vote again for Burke
though he is not running-and may con.
tinue to do SO as long as they live. But
we believe these are only exceptional
cases
AS to the state ticket in general it Is
much the same as it has beeu, which
proves experience and satisfaction by
those who know them. The state of
North Dakota is in fine financial shape
and it is these and former republican
officials that have made and kept 1t so.
Why change?

j. K. Olafson will doubtless succeed
himself as commissioner from and tor
his district. There is no discounting his
strength mentally and physically as he
is the modern Sampson that "Arose at
midnight and took the doors of the gates
OF the city, and the two posts, and went
away with them, bar and all, and put
them upon his shoulders. and carried
them up to the top Of the hill that is be-
fore"-Cavalier. (See Judges XVI.)

ory to yourself in all things-posibly you
are not always pleased with your own

We prefer Taft, mostly because il Taft
stays, prosperity also stays, whereas If
either of the others get to the White
House they promise big changes-and
there are about five chances to one that
any possible change would be for the
worse. That Taft is "safe and sane" we
know by experience, Mr.. Wilson would
at best be an experiment, while we have
tried Roosevelt as president and poll.

J.J Erlendson is the republican can.
didate for clerk Of court. Mr.. Erlend.
son comes from the western part Of the
county and was for time secretary for

way is the poorest paid in the county.

For county Judge, Judge Wick. And
when ono says 'Judge Wick" he says
considerable.both physically and ment-
ally. The Judge is six feet and some
inches tall, weighs about two hundred
and every lnch and every pound is Judge.
We all look up to the Judge. He is
clothed with dignity and urbanity and
Il takes lots Of clothes to make suit for
him. Whenit comes to looking after
the widows-and orphans Judge Wick
knows how to doit right. Why change?

Ellis Thorwaldson of Mountain wants
to look after dead mems estates who
have no other relatives except the public
administrator. Ellis has proved that he
can deal pretty we'll with live men and
no doubt he can get along with dead
man without quarreling with the corpse.
Why change?
Then DR.. Jimes Of Bathgate intimates
his desire to sit on dead corpses that
shuttle off the mortal coil in tragic or
mysterious manners. If Doc wants to
sit on dead corpuses he is welcome 80 far
as we are concerned, personally we pre-
fer good rocking chair. In this case
we are emphatically against any change.
H. B. Splller of Cavalier is the repub
lican nominee for county attorney. Itis
a somewhat remarkable fact that this
county is SO peaceful and law abiding
that this office which is SO important in
some other counties, here has
little active criminal law practice con-
nected with it. But as adviser to the
county board and as consulting attorney
for the county officers in their duties
there is an amount of legal knowledge
needed along with some good common
sense which Mr.. Spiller possesses.
In the case of our three nominees for
the legislature, Messrs w. N. Husband.
Henry Geiger and j. w. Hart and their
democratic opponents, we are reminded
OF the 1rishman's reply to the question,
Isn't one man as good as another?"
'Yes," said Pat, land dom sight bet.

lican nominees are just as good as the
democratic nominees and "a dom sight
betther." the latter being the result of
being good republicans.
