MURRAY URGED TO
BECOME CANDIDATE
BERTHOLD FARMER MAY ENTER
RACE FOR THE LEGISLATURE
FROM HIS DISTRlCT-STATE-
MENT TO THE VOTERS.

Geo. T. Murray, the Berthold farm
err, passed thru Minot Monday en-
route to his farm from Fessenden,
near which city he has been in charge
of school during the past winter. Mr..
was considering entering the race or
not and in reply gave us the follow
ing statement:
| admit that have received large
number of requests from the voters of
my district, the second, urging me to
make the race for the Senate or House.
I have no inclination to be an Office
seeker, still when have positive evil
dence that states are in the making to
secure candidates in all parties, who
can be relied upon to remember the
High Interest benefciaries, | have
modified my conclusions to such an ex-
tent as to designate the principles
that candidates for the Assembly shall
favor openly on the stump and thru
the press, if my vote is desired, and
they are:
l. Reducing the contract rate of
interest to 8 per cent. This would
save the farmers of the state at least
pA ,OOO,OoO pei diIIluul.
2. A law regulating the amount a
county superintendent of schools may
spend for mileage. This would save
expensive actions, taxes, and make the
law clear to the superintendent.
3. Selecting uniform system of
school books on this plan: The Gov
ernor and presidents of four state in
stitutions shall select a school book
commission of fifteen leading educat-
ors of the state, who shall select all
the school books to be used in the
schools. The price of the books shall
be regulated by contract between the
state and the publishers under bond,
and who shall maintain repositories
of their books in all towns of 100 or
more population for the convenience
of the people. This would aid the pu-
pill, the teacher, and save to the people
of the state at least 100000 per an
mum.
4. Payment in full value for stock
killed by order of the state. This will
do justice to the man who yields his
property for protection to all the peo-
pie of the state.
5. Restore and retain our represen-
tative in district No. 2, lost in the 1911
session, by the party representing our
part of the county being asleep or will
fully giving it away, the Journals do
not disclose which,
6. In case Congress fails to pro-
vide a satisfactory Farm Credit plan,
the state should make provisions so
that farmers can get farm loans at 6
per cent or less. This would save to
the farmers of this state at least $780,
100000 per annum, the larger per cent
Of which now goes to the Interest Cat
alog Houses. Hence this saving to
the farmers would also be benefit to
the merchants.

He did not keep this one. Maybe a
grand jury indictment interviewed, but
that is another story.
The business of the sheriff is pri-
marily the enforcement of law. Here
we find former sheriff, now asking
for reelection, breaking the law-Sec-
ton 1888 Revised Statutes of 1905.
That was way back in 1904. The
purpose of the agreement was to Sc
cure Carroll's endorsement and in
fluence, also to prevent CAROLS run
ming in opposition to Lee. ~
Lee never intended to keep this
promise, and it was in writing and
acknowledged before a notary public.
Following the same mental impulse
he collected lot of illegal fees. This
is also another story. It will appear
in due season. Watch this space.
The agreement referred to reads as
follows:

which he raised, and exhibited 1t al
the South Dakota state fair. This
plant stood four feet in height and
there were about 200 roots on it. 1T
was also exhibited at county fairs in

Wood took a ninety-six-day-old Cos
