Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1914-06-11
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY CANDIDATES

democrat VINO want the distinction OF
representing Cavalier countyln the state
senate when the North Dakota law
makers gather at Bismarck next winter
The honor, and that's all there is, or
ought to be about 1t, is something that
only one of them can attain and we
quite naturally have a democrat picked
out as a winner in the fall. The warning
factions of the republicans have oppos.
ing candidates for the nomination IN
Senator Henry Mclean and Magnus
Snowtield and it would take a pretty
good guesser to say which one VIII
have the chance to say IN the fall that
he vent down to defeat before a
good democrat. The democrats have
no split in the head of their Legislative
ticket but with the reception given the
name Of John Mahon as the party can
didate for its standard bearer presages
he will have an easy walk-oGer for a seat
in that august body. The new leglsla-
sive ap%portionment which forms Cava-
bier county into one legislative district
gives US three representatives as candl-
dates for the loWerhouse. The democrats
have four good men asking the vote and
influence of their democratic friends at
the primaries, hailing from different Sec
tions of the county: They are D. Nc
McLa uch!in, of Harvey; ", j. Mcbride,
of East Alma, j. D. Soper. OF Iona; and
Hon. Fred Borusky, OF Mimic. The latter
seeks re- election for a second term and
is tagged as one of the party war horses
who will be accounted for as a victor
in the fall. AS will be noted there are
,cording to racing parlance. The repub-
tlicans who will ASK the dear people
what they think about it are Ole Axvig,
of Milton, John Balsdon, of Osnabrock
and James Morgan of Clyde. The first
two have already occupied seats among
our law makers at Bismarck and may
nook for something interesting about
their legislative record Just before the
Battle mother dear"

A glance over the county ticket shows
the names Of several good men who at
present are holding office in a manner
that we believe we can honestly say has
been entirely satisfactory to the large
majority of the people who vote
and pay the taxes. We refer to County
Auditor Hamilton, Treasurer Robert
Work. Register of Deeds Schwartz, and
County Judge Dorval, all of whom have
filed their various positions with honor,
credit and efficiency, Thenthere's Clerk
of Court Robertson who has a clear field
and no opposition. Ask a republican
why this has been left vacant on their
ticket and he will tell you that the office
of clerk of court has so small a salary
shat it isn't worth lighting about. But
it does not take much of a guesser to
figure out the real reason for the office
being left vacant on the republican

Clerk of Court Robertson rolled up on
November 5th, 1912, in the opinion of
some OF us had something to do with it.
The Office of county superintendent of
schools is now on what is styled a mon
partisan ballot and now out of the
political game, or at least is supposed to
he, but the signs even this early would
indicate that there will be something in

Che attention of the voter for a minute

filled the office with the unqualified ap-

out foe reelection and her official record

endorsement for her being returned for
another term. Miss Sullivans opponent
in the fall! will be Mr.. Fred j.. Reher of
Alsen, who though having experience
along scholastic lines has been engaged
In other employment since coming to
Cavalier county. 1t Is also natural to
anticipate in this year of democratic sue
