STUART KNOWS NOT FEAR.
tchariton Herald Patriot, (rep0 ].

IChariton Herald Patriot, (rep.)
There have been limitations in some
newspapers that Frank @. Stuart
withdrew as the progressive candidate
for United States senator because he
feared and dreaded defeat. People who
are really acquainted with Nj. Stuart
know very we'll that he never entered a
race-or retired from one. either
where fear had any place in his sys-
tenn. He has faced heavy odds and
certain defeat-before, so il may be
dismissed from thought that Frank
Stuart WAS afraid of the results.

Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1914-10-29

This year for the first time, the
office of state superintendent of public
instruction is outside the line of par
tisan lines. The present occupant of
the office, Ell Taylor, was chosen for
the position on :: party ballot and
stands as a candidate for reelection.
He has as his opponent, Richard Hey
ward OF Grand Forks, who in addition
to being one of the best known educa-
tors in the state, is able to look for
his candidacy being favorably received
by the people Of Cavalier county, ow-
ing to his many years of residence
here during which he with unquestion-
ed ability presided over the Langdon
city schools. Since this time his ex-
p%erience and knowledge of the educa-
tional affairs Of the state have been
given considerable greater length and
breadth by his years of work as state
Inspector of high schools. People Of
Cavalier county do not need to be told
anything Of the ability of Mr.. Hey
ward upon the lines which qualify him
in coming before them as a non-parti-
san candidate for the position to which
he aspires and is SO eminently quail
fled to fill. Ii an impartial survey of
the present incumbent's record is
taken the fact is disclosed that it con
tains nothing which recommends his
retention in the Office as a non-par-
tisan official. An excess Of passivity
in an official, especially SO when his
duties are along educational lines does
not operate toward progress. 1t is
our belief that the department of
education is of too great an impor-
lance to be entrusted to a mere poll
tician. 1t is with no small an amount
of local pride that we state that the
candidate for this non-partisan state
office whom we would like to see at
the head of the school affairs of this
state is Richard Hayward. Cavalier
county should and naturally may be
looked to give his candidacy a bigger
majority than it did at the June prim-
aries when he was seeking the nomi-
nation. His many friends here in
Langdon and over the county will
fully agree with US when we say that
Mr.. Hayward is a man of force and
personal initiative, possesses eminent
educational qualifications, and a clean
cut record in his public service. His
election the voter may feel assured
would greatly advance the educational
interests of our state. The present
occupant Of the office, Mr.. Taylor F.,
is serving as a partisan in the fullest
sense Of the term and it is good
sound logic that a non-partisan mar
should be chosen to fill a non-par-
tisan public office.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1914-10-29

If you are for Woodrow Wilson and
his policies you should vote for demo-
cratic candidates for the senate and
house of representatives who will
support and aid him in the execution
of those policies. You cannot uphold
him by voting for republicans who will
oppose him in the next congress, as
they have in the present congress.
If you believe that President Wilson
is a safe man; if you believe that he
is working for the best interests of
the country; if you believe that the
things which he has done are based
upon right principals; if you believe
that he should be allowed to continue
the work which he has begun, you
should vote for the men who will up
hold him. Republicans in the next
senate and house, for political pur-
poses will oppose him and his poll
cies. Democrats will sustain him.
A vote for democratic candidates fol
the senate and for democratic mem
bers Of the house is a vote for Wilson
A vote for republican candidates is a
vote against Wilson. There is ne
middle ground. Vote for your owr
interests. Vote for Wilson; men!
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1914-10-29

In 1907 Governor Burke, recognize
ing the integrity and superior ability
as an interpreter of law of Judge
%Spalding, appointed him a member of
the state supreme court, and a year
following he was elected to the office
for a term of six years, which expires
next January. He has been chief
justice for three years and acted as
such two years more. He is a candi-
date for a place on the supreme bench
reelection. He is endorsed by near
ly every district judge, by over four
hundred lawyers over the state and
became "a candidate at the personal
solicitation Of over three thousand
of the leading citizens of the state.
Not long since one Of the leading
papers of the state remarked hat nc
man who had been so long in the pub
lie eye had eve 80 constantly retained
the entire confidence and respect of
the people of this state. This is
borne out by the fact that in localities
where he is most intimately known
he received overwhelming majorities
at the primaries, and at that without
any effort made by him on his own
behalf.
