Dpar SIR.

U. NJ. Davis,
Ruso, N. D.
Dear Sir:
Geo. L. Yackey of this town
is out for election for treasurer
of the county, and my reason for
writing you this: On Sunday
after the trial Of w. T. Ander-
son on the charge Of numbering
F. E. Funk, Yackey came to my
place and we had an argument
on the outcome Of that case, and
he made this statement: "Do
you know what Judge Crawford
said? He said there wasn't a
MAN on that jury, that he was
ashamed Of every one Of theE.,
and didn't want to meet single
one Of them again. just look
them over. Is there a d. one
of them that has any brains?''
Now this man is looking for
your vote and / don't think he
is entitled to it because he show
ed plainly in his statement what
sort of a selfish man he is, and
he is just what l say, a MEAN
selfish CUSS-I am ready to TAX
my oath on these statements.
Yours truly,
Ludwig Peterson.

Anderson-Funk murder case. |
got the above letter at the con-
sent Of Mr.. Davis and am pub
fishing it to show the public the
malicious manner in which one
element is trying to defeat me
for county treasurer.
Mr.. Peterson will be remem-
bered as the man tried for per-
jury, When he was trying to
get bondsme n to bail him out
Of Jail, he came to Mr.. Holtan,
the senior member of the firm in
which I am interested and want
ed him to go his bonds, to which
/ objected and tried to keep Mr..
Holtan from doing, considering
it very roor business. Ever
since, Mr.. F.. tnson has been
very bitter against me.
All l ask of the people is to
lcok up Mr.. Peter son s record. Il:

burn. Also lbok up mine; you
can go back to Shelby county,

Harlan or Defiance, Ia, or any
business man in WasIhburn, and
I am sure you will be satisfied
that the falsehoods Mr.. Peterson
has signed-whether he wrote it
or not, l do not knOw-will have
no weight with you.

HANNA HAS EVADED
SOME QUESTIONS

II ght between the forces OF tae'
present incumbent L. B. Hanna
and those of U. L. Burdick are
lined up in battle array, and
each side is training it's heaviest
guns ON the enemy. With the
primary election but month
away, it would seem, that in
stead of making claims and
counter claims that cannot be
substantiated, the candidates
might quit "playing" politics,
and give the voters some straight
sound sense, and instead Of tell
ing us that what the other fellow
has not done, to give us a state
ment of what will be done.
In the case of Governor Hanna,
we are bored to death with but
one statement and that is '.busl-
ness administration That g
what he was elected for. But
has that business administra-
tion" been all his own, or has
he been finishing up the work Of
his predecessor? The records
seem to prove that the latter is
a true explanation of the "bua-
ness" that has been performed.
If the claim had, been made that
he had given us political ad-
ministration, we think every
voter in the state would have be
lieMed it. AS it is, there are, We
fear, great many who are in
serious doubt regarding the claim
of "business administration. !.
The wholesale appointment OF
commissioners to unveil the Lam
coin statue, at Christiania, Nor
way, is but one evidence Of the
..tpohtical administl alton Of the
past year especially. Mr.. Hanna s s
evasion of the interstate rate "
discussion has done much to ere
ate a feeling of. distrust in his
Gains and unless he comes out
square, either for or, against the
changing of the legal and con,
tract rate of interest from . and
IL per cent, to 6 and 10 per cent
respectively he will, we believe,
fall far short Of the nomination.
The farmer vote is place where
It is willing to be shown and
it is up to the Governor to
.saaew where he stands on this
matter. On the other hand, Mr..
! Burdick has shown his position
as a-man asking for a public ia
vpr should, and unless we mis-
take the siens Of the times, the
! republican nomination Of gov
ernor will go to Mr.. Burdick. His
record is clean and entirely free
from anything that can be con-
str,led as opFpsing the real vel
fare of the people, and after all,
lit is the people, the common peo-
|.pae, who are in the majority
who should be served and con-
suited. Where are you at Gov

Dickinson, N. d.

dear Sir:-I am in receipt OF
your favor of the 10Th inst. in
which you propose that the three
republican candidates for At
torney General attend a meet
ing to be held in Mandan and
there publicly announce just wher
each stands on the question Of
enforcing the laws Of North Da-
hota. My statement Of where /
stand on the law enforcement
will appear in the publicity pam
phlet which will be mailed to
the voters according to law, and
it has already appeared in the
press of the state.
No person is authorized, di-
rectly or indire city, to say or.
even intimate that 1 am net in
favor Of the strict enforcement
Of the laws Of the state and any
such statements or intimations
are without my authority or
sanction. You know, and want
every person in the state to
know, that I stand for law en-
forcement in each and every
county, city, town and village. in.
the state without any exception
or reservation whatsoever. You
are and for a long time have
been aware Of them, and there
is absolutely no reason why you
and I, you claiming to stand for
the same things in this respect,
should have any meeting at
which to discuss the question. If
you want to hold a meeting at,
Mandan or any other place to
discuss the matter with Mr..
Linde, that is a matter between
Mr.. inde and yourself to deter
mine.

LIVE STOCK TRAIN
HERE ON WEDNESDAY

Wednesday morning; June 10th,
from 8 a. m. to 10 aym.
The train wild be made up of
five or six stock cars which will
carry all kinds Of live stock,
several flat cars, which will be
used for demonstration purpos-
es and two Pullmans for the
demonstrators who will accom-
phny: 9& ',.as. (.
. The party will be made up Of
professors Of the Agricultural
college, who will have. charge Of
the demonstrations, each taking
stock which he is a specialist in.
The purpose of the train is to
show the farmers what kind Of
stock to raise and tell them how
best to do it, and also to induce
them to raise more. There is a
strong movement in the state for
more live stock which is
progressing every year and
it is to further it that the demon
stration train has been arranged.
Thousands Of farmers in the
western and central states have
been benefited by the alfalfa,
corn and clover specials, which
have been sent out under diff
ferent organizations, and it is the
same manner of move, only with
live stock, that ;e being made in
this case, and there is no doubt
but that as good results will
give the lecturers and men who
have spent years Of study on
stock and have had. years Of ex-
perence in breeding in this state

and stockmen can be taken at
full face value, w.

It. is rumored that Governor
Hanna is likely Ito be taken
seriously sea-eick long before he
smells the b1iny air Of the ocean,
on the trip to Norway. That or
appendicitis, or some such all
ment, ,is likely to- compel him to
seek r cuge in a hospital just be-
fore the ship sails June 10. 1t
the campaign looks dubious in
its result, such contingency
might arise. 1t arose in one leg
islative session, when Mr.. Hanna
was confined to the hospital
while a bill was in his committee,
and he was only cured when he
discovered that the bill would
come UP in committee whether
he was present or absent. The
cure was swift and speedy, in
that instance. Who knows-it
might happen again--Minot

Mayor Harrison was present during
part of the hearing. He asserted that
the railroads should bear all of the ex.
pense of extending Canal street to the
North Side. The officials of the rail.
roads interested disputed this, declar-
ing that they now were bearing all the
financial burdens they could stand.
II is estimated that the cost of the

that is in dispute. will be about $780,.

Memories Of Toulon.

Toulon, now feting the British tars'
has reason to remember a previous
visit of our fleet In 1898, remarks the
London Chronicle. The city was held
by the royalsts, who admitted a band
of sailors from the English and Span
ish fleets to assist in their defense
against the republican army. Toulon
fell after q six-month siege, and there
followed a terrible scene of plumber
and massacre. 1t was during this
sieg, that young Corsican captain
of artillery gave first proof OF the
military genius that was to hold Eu'
rome in terror for 90 years to come.
