McGAHAN.WARRE COM.
BINATION CAUGHT.
To the People of Ward County:
The readers of the Democrat have
undoubtedly noticed how the Nc
Gahan- Warren combination is slip
ping up and now wallowing in the
mud and mire of their own lies and
Misrepresentation
For four issues they have been ask
ing questions and making statements
and when few days ago I sent them
q concise and complete answer to the
questions asked and lies told, the DEM
ocrat refuses to publish it and in the
last issue asks some more of the same
questions again, wholly for effect and
to save McGahan's face.
When the first article appeared in
the Democrat / carefully examined
the Ward county directory and the
voters list to find out if there was q
Peter. Glove in Ward county. There
was not and the only name that looked
like it was that Of Peter Glovitch: I
did not make trip there as Nc
Gahan states but merely sent Glow
itch a clipping from the paper and
asked him what about it. To make
matters still more sure I asked Nc
Gahan and McGahan at first stated
that he would find out for me from
Mr.. Warren, who was the writer Of
the article and when I asked him if
he was not also a collaboration, he
stated that he was not nor was he q
corroborator, which shows that he also
knew that Warren was lying in these
articles. McGahan told me the next
day that the man referred to was
Peter Glovitch and on the following
day I sent him Glovitch's answer,
which has been printed.
1t is therefore the McGahan-War-
rem combination that has been en-
trapped which is also shown by the
fact that when the letter was sent to
the Democrat, they at once had War
rem, Murphy and others make an auto
mobile trip across the country to
Glovitch and Glovitch says that every
effort was made to get him to order
the letter kept out of the papers, as it
would hurt. They are getting desper-
ate as they feel that the people are
getting on to their lying tactics. For
the sake of the readers of the Demo-
crat I regret that McGahan does not
see fit to print my answer to his
charges and questions. I shall in
clude portion of it here which reads
as follows:
II never offered to dismiss the case
in case Warren should resign but ]
was informed by one of the Commits
sioners that Mr.. Warren had called
him into his Office and stated that if the
Commissioners would order me to drop
the cases that he would put his resig.
nation in their hands to take effect on
June 1st.
"The articles in your paper also
state that I have gone after the
crooked officials and "big guns" and
that l have evidence in my office
against some of them. I can not tell
of course, what your correspondent
considers the "big guns" but I will
say that have already gone after
some that consider themselves bigger
than the people of Minot and WARD
county and superior to the law. You
are right in saying that I have evi.
dence against them in my possession
Yes, and I am working to get more ev.
idence before the cases are started
Not only against crooked officials
within the county, but against private
citizens who have been grating By
furnishing inferior goods and less Of
it than their contracts called for anc
have charged for services not render.
ed, either to the county or to localities
and also against other violators of the
law. And these fellows seem to real
ize the situation and every one of then
is out fighting against my recollection
with all their might and dirt, in the
hope that I may he put out of office
before l get the evidence completed
and the cases started.
But I believe that the people alst
know this and that they propose tt
keep me in Office for two years more
so that I may complete the County
and Municipal house-cleaning, before
l turn the Office over to someone else
i presume that more lies will ap
pear in the Democrat and since a mar
has been denied the chance to answer
I trust the readers of the paper will
understand and place no faith in the
lying attacks.
Yours truly,
(Pol. Adv r. A. NESTOS.
