Complaint read the to defendant,
him. Defendant stated that his correct
name was Philip H. Andrews, waived
examination and it is ordered that he
be held to the next term Of the District
Court to answer the charge contained
in the complaint, to-wit; Obtaining
property by false pretenses, and that
his bail be fixed at Two Thousand Dol
lars, $4,000. OO) and he is committed to
the Sheriff Of Mclean County, North
Dakota, until such bail 10 given. and ap-
proved unless sooner legally discharged.
A. c. Ranard,
Justice of the Peace.
Nuessle further said:
County Division:-1n this matter the
advice l gave was exactly the same as
that given by Judge Engerud and others
who are counted among the best law
yers in the state.
It must be very surprising to the read
ers that this candidate for district
Judge is mixing up his advice with that
of Judge Engerud and others in telling
the voters not. to vote. That alone
shows that Nuessle is not competent to
be district Judge. Will Mr.. Nuessle in
his next reply tell the voters why they
we're not intelligent enough to vote on
that question as well as many others
that they vote on. In Washburn
precinct there were 298 votes cast.
There were "a cast against and 264
didn't vote at all or followed Nuessle's
advice. Why was he SO anxious
to give this advice when there was no
real cause for such advice except for
some people living at Garrison.
His last point:
Judges Chambers I have never
said or promised to any n that if ell
ected Judge of the Sixth Judicial Dis
trict l would have my chambers at
Washburn.
When we stated he would have his
chambers in Washburn we were told
SO by one of his principal hackers in
Washburn.
Come again Nuessle we can answer
a few more points for you before we
are through.
Respectfully,
w. L. Nuessle. .

[Seal]
We were very much surprised last
week when Mr.. Nuessle asked US to re-
tract the editorial we published on the
18th. AS we have stated right along,
the columns of the Leader are open to
Mr.. Nuessle Oh his friends and if any
of our statements are wrong we want
them corrected. Nuessle is candidate
for public Office and we think we have
a right to ask if he is a proper candi-
date and has the qualifications to hold
the position to which he aspires. We
differ very much with him as to his fit
ness. We did not think he would ask
us to retract statements he had made
over his own signature and also the re-
cord that we published. We state
again that if he "a convince US that
we have made n wrong statement we
will retract it but we cannot retract
what he has admitted. We have his
own letters and signatures to verify
some statements. The least we expect
ed was that he would reply since the
columns of the Leader r open and
free for his remarks, that he would act
as a gentleman and not try to bluff US.
This campaign has simply opened. The
primary has very little to do with it as
the same two candidates will be voted
on at the fall election. There is plenty
of. time if he will come out and state
his position and answer the questions
that q great, number are interested in.
We have been requested by the gentle
man who swore out the warrant to re-
tract, that, as he does not want to get
into any controversy. He says he was
willing to drop the ase at the time
but did not know what became Of the
