of the county. Next to the struggle
for bread the problem of the parents
is the education Of their children.
For almost four years Miss Sullivan
has been in charge of the educational
affairs of the county. During that
period she has done much to make it
easier for every child to get a more
liberal education. School buildings
and equipment have improved, more
teachers with better qualifications
are employed, school terms have been
made longer, teachers and school Off
GERS are working in harmony, eighth
grade graduates and commencement
exercises are annual events in many
of the schools, county fair and indus
trial contests have developed. Miss
Sullivan was in Bismarck last week
attending a meeting Of the North Da-
ota Educational association, where
she gave a paper before the superin-
tendents section. This county ranks
high in consolidated schools and ed
vocational progress in the opinion Of
the leading educators of the state.
Miss Sullivan is amply qualified for
the position and has given her entire
time and best efforts to the duties of
the office. She now calls for the sup
port of all, men and women, who be-
lieve in the aggressive policy she is
pursuing Hannah Moon.

A WARNING TO VOTERS

Here at the last hour right on the eve
of the election it is found necessary
to give warning through these columns
ofzsthe specious statements that have
been traced in their authorship to
certain candidates for office on the
republican ticket, who in order to Sc
cur their own glimmering chances of
being elected, are leading the
voter to believe where ever they can
that the only way in which a vote to
be cast for a republican candidate is
by the marking of an X in the square
at the head of the ballot. That's
carrying out the straight ticket idea
with a vengeance. They go so far as
to give it out that this is a new en-
actment of the last legislative assem-
bly,. Voters are again asked to dis
tinctly remember that an X in the
square after the name of the party
for whom you wish to vote means a
vote for that individual every time
and that the fact of there being an X
at the head of another column does
not in anywise affect the individual
vote marked in another column.

FARMERS RURAL CREDIT SYSTEM

What the farmers of North Dakota
need more than anything else perhaps
is the establishment of the rural
credit system. The rural credit sys-
ten is devised to permit farmers to
capitalize their assets and earning
power the same as the big corpora
lions or large business men can do
and at a lower rate of interest which
in this country would probably not
exceed five per cent. AS this reform
is so vital an issue, it is necessary to
elect men on Nov. Bird who are com
mitted to carry it through. The mi
tial legislation to bring about this will
have to come from congress so that
it is absolutely necessary for the
voters of North Dakota to send aman
who will be able to push it through.
There is no mar who will be SO ca
pable and energetic in handling this
great question as Senator VIM. E..
Purcell, the democratic nominee for
United States senator. The demo-
cratic party is committed to this great
reform for the farmers. With Sena-
tor Purcell, an acquaintance of Presi-
dent Wilson for more than fifteen
years and having once been a leader
in the upper house Of congress, it will
easily be seen how much good he can
accomplish for the North Dakota far
mer in the senate if they vote to send
him there on November Bird.
The details of the rural credit sys-
TEN will have to be worked out
through the state legislature, and
there the farmers will have a COVER
nor in sympathy with the reform and
using all his influence to bring it
about. 1t is a we'll known fact that
Governor Hanna has the reputation of
being the largest banker in the state.
It would therefore be unreasonable to
expect Of him that he would have any
real sympathy with a reform of this
kind. For this reason alone probably
