Mott, Dickinson and Ryder in which
it was asserted that the four Mino,
papers had united on Blaisdell he
cause the people here were for him
Now, why this baseless assumption
on the part Of the Minot EDITORS? This
was not done for home consumption ;
it was done to impress outsiders.
The people here KNOW" The PEG.
pie in other parts of the district do
not know"
It is not knocking Alfred Blaisdell
to assert that he Ia not in Devine'e
class. He isn't. Devine has all the
qualifications-ripe experience, range
of information, breadth Of view,
scholarly attachments.
The men who achieve in congress
are the men who are good debaters
N committee, and who can make
such a speech on the Aoor as will
attract attention to the measures they
advocate. In this respect j. NJ. De-
zine is the peer of any man who has
set in either branch of congress from
North Dakota. And what about
I'laisdell when it ,domes to sizing
up as man who would be heard
from as a debater and speaker should
the occasion arise as it certainly
would?
Apropos of this point | am re-
minded of the fellow who was &C.
'cidentally elected to congress and
coming from a small town the poo-
pie of that place thought now that
Jim Brown had gone to congress
they had the world by the tail with
a doWnhi)l pull. After Jim got his
seat warmed, one of his best workers
from the small town went to Wash.
lhSton, sure that *'Jim's' Importance
was such that all he had to do was
70 ask and the said worker would
10 handed five thousand dollar JOB
After remaining in WASHINGTON two
or three weeks the worker returned
nd prominent resident Of the town
said to him, well, Bill, I sl1pDose
%ou have been to Washington, saw
Jim Brown" and the President and
got what you We're after?" The
worker replied, 1--WE been to Wash
lhgton all right and saw lin Brown
and the President but I didn't get
what I was AFTER why" he said
don't you know that I found after
got to Washington that "Jim Brown
had the devil Of a job to keen from
being tromped on, himself" This
story does not apply to Governor De-
vine.
Whenever in the past this com
mnnity wanted it's most representa-
tive man to go to Washington to op.
pose the infamous reciprocity pact
to go to Bismarck to properly rep
resent our claims for a Normal
School, to organize a Farmers In
stitute, or to get together statistics
and arguments requiring weeks Of
work and study, or to do anything
else in a public way in which the
whole community was interested, re-
curing high order Of ability, on
whom do we call, Devine or Blais-
dell? The people here know"
Now that we have a chance to send
Il man to represent us in an efficient
capacity where there is sometime
in it, don't you think the people will
recognize the business and fairness
of things and say by their votes that
they want Devine.
Believing in the people and their
love of fair play, I believe they will
vote for j. M. Devine on June 26th
Governor Devine is the fittest man
in the Third Congressional District
