Whereas a few office seekers
ct Max in Mclean County, North
Dakota, " NJ "" have made a
combination to foster upon the
people Of Mclean county new
County by the name of Hanna,
said proposed new County, being
"a miles in length and II miles
wide for 60 miles and trifle
wider on the TT. Berthold Reser-
vatlon, said new county having
the shape of a Tomahawk or
hatchet; **
They have given Mclean
County about 81 townships of
taxable property and kept twent
townships Of taxable property
and the Ft. Berthold Reservation
(all Of which is practically unta&
able at this time and the Indian
dand not being taxable for 25
ytars), and given Mclean Coun-
ty Z Of the largest villages and
cities in the County and retain
ed or kept 4 towns and villages
for the new County, and they
have given Mclean county about
2-3 Of the assessed valuation of
the County and kept about 1-3
for the new County of Hanna;
"And whereas The assessed
valuation Of +he new County of
Hanna would be $2,311, ,453.N ali,
the assessed valuation of the old
County, would be $3,897,637.N
which in itself shows the in
equality of the division proposed
under the name of Hanna Coun-
ty;
And whereas the proposed new
Great Northern extention from
New Rockford, N. Dak., to Elbo-
woods will lie entirely in the old
County, thus giving said county
additional assessed valuation
and there seems to be very little
chance Of the proposed new coun
Ity obtaining any additional as
sessed valuation Of property ex-
cept at the end of 25 years from
now when the Indian land be
comes taxable;"

week we warned our readers
that it was to be expected that
from certain sources Scares,

come and we suggested that The
people be prepared for all kinds
of ''roorbacks''. The anti-divi-
sicnists at Garrison (and there
really are anti-divisionists at Gal
risen have organized and elect
ed j. E. Nelson to captain the
opposition to division and he is
getting busy with a vengeance
and the purported Benedict Com
mercial Club resolution is a
Nelson production. Others will
follow. Nelson is a man with a
grievance. Ever since he was
dismissed from the county pay
roll he has been trying to work
off his grudge. Over night Mel

to create Robinson County and
the next morning all Of Garri-
sen under the direction of Mel
son went forth in automobiles to
obtain signers to the petition so
that it could be filed with the
county board at the last minute

be kept off the ballot. Nelson,

Il Candidate for Judge of
supreme Court on Non
Partisan Judicial Ballot.

Chief Justice B. F. Spaulding
Of the supreme court gave up a
! lucrative law practice to accept
an appointment on the bench,
rendered him by Governor Burke
and was shortly thereafter elect
ed for full term which will ex-
pire this year. It is assumed
that he will be . candidate for
denomination and election on
the non-partisan ticket provided
for the Judiciary. From the ex-
preston of many attorneys and
numerous 'lawmen, it is evident
that he has made an eminently
satisfactory record and all his
acquaintances knew he would.
Numerous papers without regard
i to party or faction have tender
Led him their support.
| The representative meeting of
progressive republicans which
met last week in Fargo, without
suggestion or solicitation unan
imously and enthusiastically en-
dorsed him for reelection, not as
a. party or factional candidate,
but on his record, and expressed
the opinion that it ought to be
done unanimously.
His entire professional life was
spent in Fargo and he is known
and respected here for his integ-
rity, his honesty and ability. The
voters ought to, and the Forum
believes will, place the question
above mere partisanship OF even
friendship fer those that might
like to be candidates and con-
slider the reputation Of his high
court, the necessity for uniform
ity and stability in the interpret
alton Ct the laws, and also that
while the law does not change,
except by legislative action, facts
and conditions change and often
make old precedents inapplicable
and new applications Oh old laws
necessary. Judge Spaulding has
been alive to all these considera-
tions, as his record shows.-Far-
go Forum.
Chief Justice Spaulding Of the
! Supreme Court is a candidate
for reelection this fall. Judge
Spaulding has served on the
Supreme Court for nearly eight
years, during which time he has
gained the reputation of being
one of the fairest and most COM
petent judges who ever served
on the bench in North Daota.
He is a hard worker and his
services are invaluable to the
people of the state and we be-
lieve that he, should be- returned
to the office at the coming ell
lection. Politics shcnld play no
part in the election Of the judges
Of the Supreme Court. The mat
tiers to be taken into conaderatio
are competency Of the man for
the position. No more compet-
ent man ould be found for the
position, we believe. than judge
Spau!ding, and the people Of this
state could not show their ap-
probation for the services he. has
rendered them during the past
8 years in any better manner
than by re-electing him this fall.

people have had enough Of Nell.
sons manufacture. The article
from the Banner follows:
just eleven more days before
election. Eleven more days to-
think over how you should vote,
both for county officers county,
division. We have thought this:
county division proposition over
from every point and are unable
to find one single reason why
the voters in the new proposed
county can vote against it. TheI
new county embraces thirty-two
townships and the old Mclean,
as proposed, is composed Of the:
same number Of townships while
a few fractions along the river

southern part Of Hanna county.'
1t is claimed that the new coun->
ty embraces a great amounts
of Indian land which will not be,
taxable for twenty-five yearsk
During the last Summer congress
passed bill for the opening Of,
this land which will come il for
settlement in very short time
and already a great amount Of
this so called "hdian land" is
on the tax books. In the year:
of 1912 it cost Mclean county,
100000 for the running ex,
pense Of the county. How much.
of this 100000 expense did you
or any of your neighbors get
How much of this $80,OO0.O0 cam
into the part Of Mclean county,
now embraced in the proposed
Hanna 5scountyY In all of 1his
territory Of thirty -one townships
in the proposed Hanna county,
there was one little petty coun-
tg officer who drew a small sal
ary, the county commissioner. Dc
vnn not think II ie ahont time,
some Of that money which il
being paid every year into the
county treasury for taxes came
toward the northern part Of the;
county? Think it over and if
you are not satisfied to pay,
for something you don t get ano
feel that you would rather pay
for something that You had a.
chance to get, then vote eyes
on the division proposition.
