Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1914-1915, 1914-05-29

ways had a true friend for the cause
Mr.. Hanna, both as state senator,
congressman at Washington and as
governor Of this state, and they are
not going to be fooled at this time by
the remarks of the Democratic scav-
anger. He says that Hanna is in
league with the liquor machine Of
Ramsey county. Who is the liquor
machine of Ramsey countyf Does any
fairminded citizen Of this county know
Of or believe that there is any such
machine in this county, Think Of it,
Mr.. Voter. This great moral sheet
says that the law-breakers Of this
county are Stalwart Republicans. The
records of this county according to the
returns Of the assessment books show
that about IS per cent of the voters
Of the county are Republicans, and
the democratic sheet down the street
openly states that they are the law
breakers. How do you like to have
such a sheet published in your com
munity and allowed to 60 into you
homes for your children to readf If
the "only democratic daily'' wanted
to tell the truth and place the blame
where it belongs it would go after An
drew Miller, who has been the attor-
sney general of this state for the past
number of years and is now seeking
to break into the U. s. Senate. Mil
Ter has posed as the great reformer,
and yet it is a well known fact that
when he had cases to prosecute in this
county, that at the last moment when
the cases he had started came on for
trial Miller was "unavoidably alb.
SENT" and his deputy was sent here
to make a farce of the whole thing.
And yet the democratic daily" is
boosting Miller, and every other can
didate Of his ilk. Miller was chas,
ing up to Ramsey county to make a
izzle Of things, and yet down at Bis.
marck, the capital Of the state, beer
was selling for 81 per, and houses of
i'll fame were running rampant, but
did anyone ever hear much about
Miller making any stir about those
things down in his home towns Han
ma, while in Congress was recognized
by the prohibition people as a cham
pion Of the prohibition cause and was
ever found working for it, and since
he has been governor of. this state he
has taken the same position, and the
leading prohibition people of the state
! well know that he stands ~squarely or
the prohibition side Of every question
but the democratic daily'' is peeve'
just at this time for the reason tina:
Governor Hanna recently removed sew
eral democratic officials from oHic,
down at Hankinson for the reaso,
that they wire allowing the violatio,
of the prohibition law. Think of thi
statement: "Mr. Cuthbert is the lo
cal representative of the lawless ele
ment." We rise to ask, is there
county in the state where the prc
hibition law is better and more RIG
idly enforced than Ramsey county
' There is not a blind pig running i
this county at the present time, an
much Of the credit is due Mr.. Cutl
bert and Sheriff Mclean for the ma,
ner in which they have gotten aftt
the piggers. The daily refers to IL
''liquor men of Devils Lake" Az
the %"liquor machine" Pray tell i,
who the liquor men and the liquor mi
!. chine of this city are. If such a M
chine exists, perhaps you could e
Il tighten our city officials, as it is
Il well known fact that they are keepir
Il a close watch to see that our laws a:
observed. To sum the whole matt
4 up, the statements of the daily re.
i tive to Hanna and his prohibition I
cord is just as true as many of Il
other lying statements it makes-al
will be paid just about as much q
%tention to by the prohibition people
Ramsey county.
