 MT. Johnson's address in part dealt with problems relating to the merchant, the retailer, especially. He advocated the abolition out of the trading stamp, and the removal of special concessions to preachers, lawyers, relatives. and ev- erybody else, placing the prices at one level for everyone, regardless. This, he said, was only sound business policy and the only way by which a merchant could hope to conduct a business along practical lines.

He expressed the appreciation his association felt for the entertainment which had been provided for it, and out lined some of the methods by which the merchants association hopes to establish closer lines of business relationship with the local jobbers and manufacturers.

sue with every legislature for years
to come.
Following Wishek's announcement,
until the last few days, there was un-
doubtedly strong sentiment favoring
his candidacy, in certain elements Of
the state, especially in the western
part. Within the week, however,
many Of his supporters have taken &C.
cond thought and have come to a reali
cation of what his nomination will real
ly mean to the state. There are hun
dreds who are not prohibitionists who
would oppose the saloon in North Da
kota and these are coming back to
support the candidacy of L. B. Hanna.
Any man who makes his campaign
upon a platform which has for its
principal plank the reestablishment Of
the saloon is not made Of gubernator
ial timber, and cannot hold a large
political support.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1914-06-18

AS the primary campaign nears its
close, there is every indication that
there will be strong swing to L. B.
Hanna, both from the Burdick and
Wishek forces in the state. The Bur
dick faction realizes that it Is hopeless
for them to think seriously of nomina
ing their man. While it is q laudable
ambition for any man to wish to be
governor of North Dakota, and Mr..
Burdick is man Of ability, there can
be no comparison between the abilities
Of the two men, and the voter of the
state will take no action which will
deprive him Of the services Of one
who could draw a $4,000 salary, when
he can be secured for $1,000 a year.
AS regards. Wishek the situation lisa
little different. Wishek has come out
6atfooted on a resubmission platform,
and frankly makes his appeal to the
element which would restore the ga
loon and q wide open policy. In case
of his nomination there lie not . doubt
but that resubmission would be IN IL.

UP TO THE VOTER.

The primary campaign is nearly
over, and on June "a the verdict will
be rendered. It's up to the people of
Barnes county to determine whether
they shall let politics influence their
votes, or whether they shall send
back to Office, one of the best, If not
the best county auditor in the state.
In another column Mr.. Nelson
makes what is perhaps the strongest
statement that can be made regarding
his candidacy. He has avoided per.
sonal attacks of any kind, stands on
his record during the past eight years,
and asks for support on the platform
Of service rendered and value receiv.
ed given for the ofncial honors which
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1914-06-18

back Of Wishek for governor. Those
who favor resubmission, the rehabilita
ton of the saloon, are united and are
voting for one man. Those who are for
prohibition, law and order, content
themselves with the statement that
both Hanna and Burdick are alright on
prohibition and that conditions will be
safe with either nominee.
Should not the opponents Of liquor
traffic take pointer from the opposi-
ton, and, like them, unite on one can
didate? Both Hanna and Burdick are
regarded as favorable to prohibition.
The general public knows Governor
Hannas position. BY his frank and
manly declarations for state and nat
tional prohibition and his firm stand
for law enforcement he has become
the target for the resubmissionists.
Their attacks are centered upon him.
However true and loyal Burdick's
friends may insist he would be under
fire, the people of the state have al
ready seen Governor Hanna tried and
tested. They know where he stands.
Would it not be sensible thing to do
as we'll as wise from the standpoint
of political expediency, to get behind
the man who has proven himself right,
rather than experiment with an un'
known quantity, an uncertainty.
The foes of liquor know they can
rely absolutely on Governor Hanna. All
citizens who wish to see the prohibi-
ton laws retained, who wish to see
the laws of North Dakota fairly and
firmly enforced, who wish to prevent
the possibility of saloons in this state
should vote June "a for the renomina
ton of Governor Hanna. The duty
they owe to their children, to their
fellowmen, to decency and upright Hv
ing, demands they take no chance mi

MAKE NO MISTAKE.

In the campaign for legislative hon.
ors in this district, there is little
doubt but that Frank E. Ployhar, who
has for number of years been NOM
mated almost without opposition, will
be sent again to Bismarck. This is
one of the offices which carries much
honor and little pay, and Mr.. Ployhar
has not been able to devote the time
necessary to personal campaign
throughout the county. Nevertheless
he assures the Times Record that he
will appreciate the support Of bis
friends, and We believe that his past
record deserves endorsement, without
regard to his own efforts.

two candidates are in the field, one
an official who has given excellent
service to the county during his ad
ministration, and who is a candidate
for re election, the other business
man Of Valley City who by long con

years Of residence in Barnes county
is familiar with local conditions, and
could render the county good service
o. M. Roe and Henry Beal will both

SHALL NORTH DAKOTA GO
BACK?

The activity of the resubmission'
lists in some sections of North Dakota
should be promptly met by those who
believe in prohibition and the enforce.
ment of law and order in North Da'
kota.

keepers, the ignorant and the un.

with impunity, it is up to the law.
abiding, the decent, the intelligent and
the home-lovng voters of North Da
kota to Illustrate their efforts.
Governor Hanna has stood back OF
the prohibition law, both state and
national, because his personal views,
his private business, political and Of
fetal experiences have convinced hin
temperance and prohibition are pre-
ferable to the open saloon. He has
supported the enforcement Of the pro
hibition and other laws. He took an
oath to do that. He would have been
false both to himself and the people
had he done less.
Should Governor Hanna be penal
lied, defeated or politically crucifet
because he has been true to the sol
emn obligation he assumed at his in
auguration?
It is up to the people Of North Da
kota to see that he shall not suffer TO
daring to do right that he shall not b.
defeated for denomination because b
stood foursquare for the enforcement
! of the law.
If the believers in prohibition, il
decency and in law and order II
North Dakota get together, the blin'
| piggers, the law breakers, the div
keepers, will not be successful in taei
efforts to saddle the saloon, with al
, its prostituting and demoralizing IN
fuences, on this fair state.
North Dakota's best interests car
not be jeopardized nor the physica

to criticise his handling of the finances
of the state is not only ludicrous, it
is painful, and more than anything
else marks the unfitness of the oppos.
ing candidate for governor to deal with
the finances of the state. 1t is the
politicians criticism Of the business
man.
One Of the most influential men in
the state who is closely associated
with Gov. Henna in the conduct of the
states business has very APPLY said
that the people of North Dakota
should congratulate themselves on be-
ing able to get the services of $780,.
900 man at a salary of $4,000, for
though this official did not support
Hanna two years ago he has by as.
ISOLATION with the governor during
the year and a half Of his administra.
ton been convinced that his abilities
as an executive and as financial
manager for the state are invaluable,
and that despite the carping criticisms
OF men who want his job, and the few
jobs he has at his disposal, the voters
OF North Dakota would do themselves
the grossest kind of an injustice
should they fail to avail themselves
Of the opportunity of securing his
services for two years more.
It is unfortunate TOT North Dakota
that the executive is SO hedged about
with restrictions that he is not per.
mitted to take and run the finances
of the state as he would his own bus
mess. 1t would be indeed to the states
great financial gain with a governor
of Hanna's ability could he be allow
ed to use the funds here and there t
secure the best results to the state
as he would in the conduct Of hi
private business. But even with 'tht
restrictions imposed the results OBJ
tanned show a master hand at the helm
Of the ship of state, and the Pioneel
cannot believe that the people are 81
Indifferent other interests that the!
will be unmindful of the services rem
dered them and the porfit ard homo
that accrues to the state by virtue c
havina 1T its head a governor of tn
ability Of L. B. Hanna.
Perhaps the greatest assurance tn
people can have of the straightfor
wardness of Hanna's administrator
lies in the fact that right at the cru
cial moment of the campaign, he ha
been willing to leave the state TO
a foreign country accompanying man,
of the best citizens of the state t
their native land to be present at tn
unwilling of statue of one of tn
worlds greatest men. Does this lool
as though there were anything crook
ed or wrong in his administration
The governors record is an open bool
and there is nothing he needs stay an
apologize for. He has left the stat
to remain until after the primarie
with nothing further to say for him
self in his campaign than the simpl
statement published IL this issue.
It's an evidence that the governo
has a confidence in the people to az
preciate his services as their execu
tive, and that whether at home o
abroad, they will show their conf
dence in him by their vote on Jun
9th.
