G. S. WOOLEDGE
G. S. WOOLEDGE,
For States Attorney.


G.. S. Wooledge, Democratic candi-
date for States Attorney, has been
engaged in the active practice of law
in this judicial district for the past
nine years. He is one of the best law
yers in Northwestern North Dakota.
Mr. Wooledge was a candidate for
County Judge in 1910 and was defeat
ed by Judge Davis by bare hundred
votes. He is graduate of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin; is thirty-four years
Of age; is married; lives in Minot and
formerly lived in Kenmare. Mr.. Wool
edge has always been independent and
progressive in politics, and his plan of
conducting the office Of states attor-
ney means a large saving to the tax
payers. Read his platform and then
investigate the facts he has stated. Mr..
Wooledge's platform is as follows:
"To the voters of Ward county: /
am candidate for states attorney.
If you will make an honest and fair
Investigation of the work of this Of
fee, you will agree with me that the
Office Of states attorney can be effic-
iently conducted on the plan here
stated. If elected | shall carry out
every promise and statement herein
made, namely:
81 shall impartially enforce all laws.
shall save the taxpayers lot Of I'M
necessary expense which should have
been stopped long before this, some OF
which is as follows:
"The equity should not furnish
special prosecutors. If the states at
torney is incompetent, and needs assis-
tance, he should pay the special pros
ecutor out Of his own salary, because
the county has paid him to handle all
county business. IS.
Furthermore, the duties of states
attorney of Ward county have decreas-
ed at least one-half during the past
few years, owing to the county divis-
ion and the fact that the county is no
longer new settlement. A competent
states attorney that is, an attorney
Of average ability, but who likes to
work does not need an assistant
states attorney in this county. While
the statute permits the appointment of
an assistant states attorney, the stat
ute is not mandatory, and should not
ask the county commissioners to en-
ploy an assistant states attorney.
can handle all the duties Of this office
efficiently without an assistant states
attorney, and can still have some time
left for the private practice Of law.
& again, the county should not en-
ploy stenographers and pay office rent,
and furnish supplies, light, telephone,
etc, for states attorney to engage
in the private practice Of law. If the

states attorney has the time and does
engage in private practice, he should
pay a just proportion of the stenogra-
piers salary out Of his earnings from
this private business. He should not
use county supplies, stationery and
postage in his private practice, nor ask
the county commissioners to buy him
roll top desks and Office fixtures.
Lastly, the states attorney should
take care of all county business before
any private business. He should stay
on the job the year round and at all
times remember that he has been hired
and paid by the taxpayers of this
county to take care of the county bus
mess, promptly and efficiently, and yet
with as little expense as possible.

RETIRING COTTON.

The Swift Specific company OF At
lanta. Ga, which is one of the larg-
est wholesale houses in the United
States handling proprietary medi-
cines has announced to all its GUS
toners that it will take in pay
ment of its accounts cotton at ten
cents a pound The company will un-
der this plan purchase and retire
from the market from 100000 to
100000 worth of cotton between now
and the first day of January. This
plan may not bring to the farmers
any more money as the merchants
can purchase the cotton for less
sum than 10c., but the plan VIII
take off the market many bales OF
cotton which will help in the move
ment to force cotton to a higher
price. If enough large companies
will take the same action the south
ern merchant can pay his debts with
warehouse receipts and the farmer
can pay his debts in the same way
and that means there will be a mar
ket for every bale of cotton pro-
duced.

While Judge John H. Burford, the

States gtnate, and John Fields. the
republican candidate for governor.
are discussing questions of economy
and throwing brickbats at the state
administration, We would like to ask
Judge Burford to explain just one
little matter
On October IS, 1908, Judge John
II. Burford, then chief justice of the
teri litorial supreme court, gave a con-
tract to Mr.. Frank Greer for 1000
volumes of the report of the SUI
preme court, at $264 each. In No
vember, 1908, a year later, Judge
Robert L. Williams, the present dem
ocratic candidate for governor, gave
contract to this same Mr.. Greer
to publish another volume of the
supreme court reports at $109 each.
The books are identical as to bind
ing, printing, paper and other items
of expense with a single exception,
that the book printed for Justice
Williams was about $50 pages larger
than the one Judge Burford had
printed, though the expense of print
ing was considerably less than half.

INCREASING DEMAND FOR
COTTON,

The American Sugar Refining com
pany of New Orleans, has written
a letter to Tyler & Simpson Co, their
customers here, that from this time
on they will discard jute as material
for sugar bags and will use cotton.
This movement will result in using
thousands OF bales of cotton where
none has been used heretofore. The
cotton emergency that is before the
public at this time has resulted in
bringing TO the surface many plans
for handling cotton and also many
plans for increasing the consumption,
and none of the plans will amount to
as much as the substitution of cot
ton for bags that have formerly been
manufactured of jute. Cotton is
cleaner than iute and looks cleaner,
no material could be used that would
make a better bag than cotton and
it is to be hoped that bagging for
bales of cotton will be made Of cot
ton instead of jute.
The southern cotton farmer should
rejoice at the loyalty of the people
of the south and the efforts they have
made to help care for the crop.
