The Washburn leader., 1912-04-19

The reign of the "boss' is passing.
Before many moons he and his cohorts
will hit the long trail that leads to po-
litical oblivion comments the Bowman
Citizen. Don't you believe it? Then you
are not wise to the signs of the times.
North Dakota is progressive. Her peo-
pie will no longer stand for the domina-
tion of McKenzieism. No stale dregs of
"Stalwartism" will ever be allowed to
again control affairs. And Bowman
county is not whit behind the rest of
the state. She repudiated the Hanna
Roosevelt combination at March pri-
maries, and she does not intend to take
any backward steps. The reign of the
boss is passing. The people are coming
to their own. s.
The Washburn leader., 1912-04-19

Even the Forum has lost faith in
Hanna's candidacy and realizes that he
is dead issue and had better be put
out of the race for the benefit of the
party. A new lineup will be made
and men put on the ticket that the peo-
pie have confidence in. This lineup
may not take place at once but it will
come. The Forum makes the following
remarks: The progressives do not like
the candidates forced upon them by the
eliminators and the stalwarts do not
like the idea of Hanna and a few others
nominating themselves. AS result
there is likely to be new lineup and
a completely new state ticket placed in
the field. The new ticket will be COM
posed of men from both wings of the
republican party and, judging from the
character of men selected for this new
slate, there will be plenty Of support
for all of them from the republican
party as whole. For instance Nor
man B. Black of Grand Forks, is slat-
ed to head the ticket as candidate for
governor. Mr.. Black has been manag-
er of the Grand Forks Times and is the
idol of the newspaper men of the state,
having been recently reelected presi-
dent of the State Editorial association
by unanimous choice. He would be a
splendid campaigner and vote getter.
His candidacy would receive enthusi-
astic support from both wings of the
party. For secretary of state, Capt.
Frank S. Henry of Valley City will
probably be on the new lineup. Henry
made the run two years ago and it is
believed he is the best available candi-
date for the Office. Olson will have no
opposition for state treasurer. Sever
al candidates have been suggested for
other state offices, and doubtless the
lineup will be completed by May l.
This will give the new ticket practic-
ally two months in which to make the
campaign before the primaries.

hunting permit will have to be secured
and it will cover both spring and fall
shooting during the 1912 season. Coun-
ty Auditor Thompson has only issued
four 1912 licenses.
The following letter regarding licens-
es was mailed out by the chief game
warden:
Dear Sir:
Several complaints have reached this
Office in regard to the resident hunting
licenses for the year 1912. Owing to q
mistake in the date on the same, it ap-
pears that 1912 license, issued for the
spring shooting of geese, would be
good only after the 7th of September,
1912. Now, these licenses will be good
for the entire open seasons of 1912, and
you can so inform all applicants for
same.
! am enclosing herewith book of ap-
plications for hunting licenses for this
season.
Yours very truly,
E. H. Stenvick,
Chief Game Warden, Dist. No. /.

Louis B. Hanna, congressman and
would-be governor, is having rather
strenuous time attempting to breast the
tremendous wave of unpopularity which
threatens his political destruction in
North Dakota says the Souris Messeng-
er. The Roosevelt bubble looked good,
for were the colonel to carry the state
at the presidential preference primary
on March 10Th, the resourceful Louie,
who by the way was the creator of the
bubble, could, without danger of rup-
ture with his Standpat friends, style
himself az Roosevelt progressive, and
by the deception possibly land few
progressive votes at the primaries in
June. But, as the reader recollects,
the bubble fzzled out, busted and was
dissapated into the air. The rebuilt
able colonel was beaten to a frazzle.
Louie was terribly disappointed; much
more so, we believe, than the colonel
himself. Something desperate must be
done to stem the tide and the oppor-
tunity apparently presented itself when
a few days ago the new democratic
wool tariff measure was brought up for
vote in the lower house of congress.
With the majority of the democratic
members and handful Of progressive
republicans, the foxy old boy voted for
adoption of the measure. Do you see
the point? It must have gone against
the grain, but he did it in desperate
attempt to ''pull the woor' over the
eyes of the voters at home. Does he
think to thus easily hoodwink a people
who, in the bitter school of experience
have learned to distrust his every ac-
tion. We would like very much to be
able to give the gentleman credit for
better sense than that, but his actions
betray his true self. The fact is, that
Mr.. Hanna has through his unsavory
political activities made himself inn
mensely unpopular with his constitu-
ents, so much SO, that no amount of
''wool pulling will ever secure him
the nomination as candidate for the
governorship of this state. Politically
speaking, L. B. Hanna is done.

Miss Clara Barton, founder of the
American Red Cross society, died in
Maryland last Saturday. Miss Barton
was 80 years old and until the last year
of her life was an active woman. She
was volunteer nurse during the Civil,
France Prussion and Spanish wars.
Among the great public calamities
which brought out her services for Or
ganizing relief were the Johnstown
flood in 1889, the Russian famine in
1892, the Sea Islands disaster in 1893,
the Armenian massacres in 1896 and
the Galveston flood in 1900.

Chickens Coming Home to Roost

There has been a great deal of COM
ment in the newspapers since the presi-
dental primaries as to the democrats
Of this state voting for LaFollete in
stead of for q democratic candidate.
If this is true there must be a reason
for it. We need not look far for that
reason. For some time past the so
called republican leaders have been
flirting with the democrats, and giving
to them very literally Of the "Pie"
that should have been served to the
faithful Of the republican party. This
practice commenced few years ago
and has kept up so industriously that
for the past six years democrat has
occupied the governors chair in q
state overwhelmingly republican.
During the last campaign we were
informed that number Of 4th class
postmasters in this and Ward county
were requested to vote for the Re-
publican candidate for governor. They
replied that they did notowe the republi-
canparty anything as they secured their
appointments through democrat.
In no place do the so-called leaders Of
the republican party vote the ticket,
then how can you expect the masses 70
vote it. When the leaders Of the party
have been trying for years to break up
AZ. !

Try Cash System

Scarcely paper can be read now
days but an account is seen of some
store going on cash basis. The Far
go Forum is the latest one to endorse
the movement. The article follows: A
local dealer has theory of his own con-
cerning the high cost of living. He
blames much of it onto the man who
is slow to pay his bills. He is the fell
low who is undermining the coal dealer
till the next summer and doesn't pay
for his Christmas presents till July.
Some times he pays his ice bill for the
past summer-d during the coolest period
of the year. Then some times he does
not pay at all.
The result is that the man who is tar
dy in paying his bills-or doesn't settle
at all-throws the burden on the fellows
who do. In order to make up for the
losses on the other fellows, dealers adj
vance the prices on their paying custo-
mers-and the cost of living goes up by
leaps and bounds.

Many of the farmers who did not
thresh their fax last fall are doing so
now. From the reports sent in the
flax is yielding from s to IL bushels to
the acre. With the price near the two
dollar mark it looks as though the
farmer will not fare SO badly after all.

Drowned In Lake Pennesseewasse,
GERALD THOMPSON OF NORWAY GOES
THROUGH THIN ICE SUNDAY.

While returning from North Norway
to Norway village about 5 O'Clock Sun
day afternoon, skating on the Ice on
Lake Pennesseewassee, Gerald ThOmp-
son of Norway broke through the ice
and was drowned. Mr.. Thompson was
alone, but there were others on the lake,
and his cries for help we're heard by
some boys who estimate their distance
from him at about milo. They arrived
at the spot as soon as possible, but at
first saw nothing, and thought they
must have come to the wrong place.
Soon, however, they saw bubbles aris-
ing. Nothing else could be seen, and
there was no hope OF rescue.
Leaving one of the boys to keep watch,
the others went to the village, and got
men with grapples, who recovered the
body at the first attempt. A boat had to
be used, - the ice would not hold. The
depth of the water was twenty five feet
or more.
The Ice for some distance out from
the shore seems entirely solid, but
toward the middle Of the lake 1t 10 much
thinner.
Mr.. Thompson was about 20 years OF
age. His drowning 10 a particularly sad
affair, a. he was to have been married In

REVOLVER IN HANDS OF TEE YHAR- OLD
Is DISCHARGED WITH FATAL EFFECT.

At South Paris late Thursday after.
noon, Eugene Poland Of Skowhsgan, IA
years OF age. was fatally shot by the
accidental discharge OF . revolver 10 the
hands Of playmate, Ralph Linscott OF
South Paris, 10 years Of age.
The affair happened 1t the house Of
the Linscott boys father, ]. 81. Linscott,
near Hicks Crossing. The Poland boy
was visiting bis grandmother, Mrs.
rhurlow, who lives In . rent 10 the Lins-
Colt house, and he and the Llnscott boy
were ut Llay together. On stand In q
bedroom opening out Of the room In
which the boys we're, was revolver be-
longing to Sidney Cox. . boarder with tho
Linscotts. As related BY Mr.. Cox, he
came in the evening before, and stopped
in the sitting room to warm himself. He
laid the revolver down In the bedroom,
which 10 not his loom, but one occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Liuscott, intending
after bis hands got warm to take 1t mp
and take the cartridges out Of 1t, but for
got to do 80, which explains the pres
ence Of the loaded revolver.
Some talk was bad by the two boys
about the revolver, and the Linscott boy
went and got Ii to show to his playmate,
not knowing it Was loaded. He declares
that he did not flourish u or take aim
with 1t, but says that when he raised It
the revolver in some way went Of.
The bullet struck the Poland boy, who
was not more than three or four feet
distant, over the eye. He did not die
instantly, but death came in few min
utes. Drs. Bradbury and Bartlett were
summoned as quickly a. possible, but
there was nothing that they could do.
Coroner William j. Wheeler OF South
Paris was ut once notified, and made IN
investigation Of tho affair. he found
that tho shooting was plainly accidental,
and considered an inquest unnecessary.
Eugene Poland, the boy Who lost bis
life. was the son Of John Poland, who
now lives in Oxford. The parents have
been divorced, and the mother 10 now q
resident Of Skowhegan.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon, and the remains were placed In
the tomb at South Paris, probably to be
buried at Oxford later.
