WORN

For three years John Burke cam
paigned o,er this state and each year
his great campaign argument was that
no had succeeded in raising the as
sessed valuations of railroads in tho
state. Since he graduated from state
politics and became a national figure
down at Washington he has evidently
turned this now %threadbare argument
over to Andrew Miller, who is 1ow a
candidate for the U. S. Senate. Mr..
Miller is going about the state using
this same buncomb among the people
and in the state publicity phamplet
he spreads this on rather thick, prob
ably with the thought that it will
fool the farmers. Burke claimed all
the credit for raising the valuation Of
railroads and now Miller whistles the
same tune. But have you heard
either Burke or Miller telling the
farmers how much they raised the as
sessed valuation of farm lands at the
same time they raised the valuation
of railroads. Oh, no. That would
not do, for it might be the means of
putting the farmers wise. But we ar
here to tell you that while they rails.
ed the valuation of railroads they
took a slap at the farmers of the
state at the same time by raising the
valuation of the farm lands, so that
as a result the farmers were the ones
who suffered much more than the rail
roads. What has been the results Of
course Miller will tell you that it in,
creased the revenue for the state, but
who is paying the larger part Of that
revenue, the railroads. Not so. The
farmers are the ones who are doing
it. Smooth Andy. Crying Progress.

and he is claiming the credit, and af-
ter he gets through this campaign he
can pass it along to another one Of

Alex Mckenzie and his. coterie Of
politicians are backing Andy Miller
for the U. S. Senate, and it is given
out that they are going to do their
utmost to elect him. They have not
been able to use Gronna, and therefore
they have come out against him and
for Andrew. Miller. Letters are be-
ing sent out to try and line up those
who have, been for Mckenzie in the
past, but we doubt if they can get
them in line for Miller. This is no
political dope, but the actual truth and
we caution every voter in the state
that if they cast a vote for Miller
they are voting in favor Of the Nc
Kenzie machine. Are the people of
North Dakota going to do it, We be
lieve not, but on the other hand they
are going to return A. j. Gronna to

Bernt Anderson, Norman Morrison aud
P. H. Kelly, who are seeking the Re

all farmers, they are able mon and
will be good representative men to
send to. Bismarck. Both Anderson and
Morrison have served in the legisla'
ture and have done their duty well.
Mr.. Kelly is a large farmer living
near Brocket and is known to be a
good business man as well as a most
successful farmer. He is the only
candidate from the east side of the
county, and should be elected. The
farming interests of this county real
" demand that they should be repre-
sented in the legislature, and here il

swer any charges made at the last
moment. We caution. the voters of
Ramsey county and the state of North
Dakota to pay no attention to any
thing that may appear in such papers
We have now had a political campaign
on for the past three months and
there has been ample time to cover
the field, but certain newspapers are
always ready and willing to spread a
lot of lies at the last moment, when
no candidate can make answer before
the primary election is held. Such
methods should not be tolerated for
a moment by any good citizen, and
we are cautioning all not to be mis-
led by anything of the kind. Every
candidate should have a square deal
and if anything is said to his detri,
ment he should be given an opportu,
nifty to make his defense, and any
| newspaper that wants to deal fairly.
will not try to spring anything against
any candidate without doing it in
plenty of time before the primaries
so as to give a chance to answer. But
there are so called newspapers who are
not willing to be fair. hence we are
calling special attention to this matter
SO that voters may be On their guard.

who are opposing the confirmation Of

the case then there are about 500
patrons of this postofice who are in
the above class, including rs per cent
Of our business men. We do not care
to go into details at this time, as VIC
believe that the public and u senat.
ors are able to handle the matter, and
the only reason we take the matter
up at all at this time is to show tina:
Senator Gronna has acted entirely
within his rightful capacity as a rep
resentative of the people.

For the first time since the matte

For the first time since the matter
came up. the local postoffice fight
crept into the newspapers of this city
last week when the sheet down tho
street going under the title Of "1nter-
Ocean, but better known as the
uGall Bladder' contained a long I'll
rade of abuse against a large number
of our citizens, as well as Senator A..
J. Gronna, for the part they have
taken in the matter. We had hoped
that it would not be necessary to have
this matter aired in the local press,
and up to the present time the editor
of this paper has had nothing to say
one way or another. hut the long tt
rade against Senator Gronna and masy
of the hest citizens of Devils Lake
and vicinity demands that ONE expla
ton be given relative to the matter.
We believe that Senator Gronna could
take no other position thar he has
taken and be fair to his constituents.
He is a public official, the senator of
our state, and u representative in
Washington, and therefore the logical
man for the people of this or any
other community to cali upon in mat
tiers of this kind. and so lar as we
can learn he is simply carrying out
the wishes of a majority Of the pa
irons Of the Devils Lake po~stofice.
he has been called upon by nearly
500 patrons of this postofice, in the
way Of a petition demonstrating
against the appointment of MI. Bloom
as postmaster, and besides this a
large number Of other objections have
been filed with him and the postofice
department. Could Senator Gronna
do otherwise and represent this elm.
munity fairly, than to take the matter
up and hold up the appointment until
such time as the charges are disproved
OF it is shown that Mr.. Bloom is the
choice of the people here for the 20
sitionf Mr.. dronna has gone so far
as to state that any time the people
who are patrons Of this postifice can
show that they want Mr.. Bloom for
postmaster, he is willing to step aside
and he has ven recommended that
1t be decided by a primary election.
And vet the sheet down the street has
the gall to say that it is ex:b1indpig-

The time for the primary election
is drawing near and so far as this pa
per is concerned we will probably not
have much more to say politically IN
til after the primaries, unless some
emergency calls for it, as our next is
sue will be the last one before the PR
maries and anything we may have to
say in that issue will be so late, that
should occasion demand it there will
be no time for an answer. For that
reason we will practically close the
campaign so far as we are concerned
with this issue. We have aimed to
give our support to the candidates
whom we believe are qualified for the
various offices they seek and those
whom we believe should be elected,
but in doing this we have tried to be
entirely fair and have let no personal
abuse creep into u columns. When
the primaries are over we presume tina
we will find that some of our friends
have fallen by the wayside, and that
some of the candidates whom we have
opposed will have the nomination tuck
ed safely away. Our position is that
we are running a Republican paper
and after the primaries are over and
a ticket is nominated we shall give
that ticket u hearty support from
top to bottom. Any individual who
goes into a primary as a Republican.
Democrat, Socialist, or any other po'
litical party and takes a part in nom
mating a ticket should support the
ticket as nominated, whether all his
friends secure a victory or not, and il
he does not do that he is not trottine

lieve we have reason to feel proud Of
this big issue, it is not as good as we
would like to have made it. The
first copy of this issue came into the

We urge that every voter go to the
polls on June "a and cast a ballot for
the men of his choice thereby doing
his duty as a good citizen. At those

it is not only d privilege but the duty
of every good citizen to take part
in the primaries. Whether he be Re

what not, he should exercise his right
Of franchise both at the primaries
and the general election, casting his
vote for the men who he believes will
best represent the people.
