editor he has heaped abuse upon abuse until it is time
to call halt and say:

right or not ~ ~
The memory of Mr. JEWELL his sacrifices his grasp of pub
lie affairs and his constructive ability before us when
view with contempt the cheap and tawy attack Con-
gresham Young is making upon u.s.
The Tribune believes under primary law it is necessary
to restrain improper expenditures by law We are for clean

1t is unfortunate that the corrupt practices act does not
protect the against the oobacs sanderous
ments sent out in the closing hours poison the minds of
the voters who rely upon honest press.
The fact that the advertising department of certain daies
IN North Dakota will accept advertising matter sanderng
contemporary, is a lamentable condition.
Lies published under the guse of advertising are as cor
rupting as money spent beyond the limit of the law The
next legislature should amend the corrupt practices act max
ing criminaly liable candidates who charge that paper
has been bribed, without producngs proofs
1oung will have opportunity furnish the proofs or
else retract ,r.... .fv
