A SPLENDID CAMPAIGN,

The Grand Forks Herald common,
ing on the campaign just closed pay
the following tribute to the man VIII
managed it:
It would not be fitting to permi
this election season to pass withou
word Of reference to the work which
has been performed by the republican
state chairman, Frank H. Sprague, o
Grafton. Mr.. Sprague did not seel
the position as chairman. He had NJ
political ambitions. He would have
preferred very much to devote hi!
time to his business, do his votins
like any other citizen. and let it e
at that. He yielded at last to the ur
gent solicitations of others, and &C
cepted the position, and under nj:
highly efficient supervision a mos
satisfactory and successful campaign
has just been brought to close.
The election of every candidate on
either state or congressional ticket
must be source of great satisfaction
to Mr.. Sprague, who has been cahrgeo
with the general management of the
campaign, and it is most gratifying to
all who are interested in the mainten-
ance Of the republican organization as
virile and efficient force in the state
But more has been accomplished in
this campaign that the election of
candidates. There has been set up in
the state Of North Dakota a standard
of efficiency, sound Judgment and mod
Grafton in the management of a po-
litical campaign which must have a
beneficial influence on future cam
paigns in the state.
Contrary to the practices so oft
en- followed, Mr.. Sprague has acted on
the conviction that the SAME rules /
which apply in the intercourse of /
citizens with each other in their other ;
relations ought to govern in the man
agement of political campaign. He !;
has accordingly confined the work of :.
his Office to the legitimate issues of i,
the campaign, has avoided offensive
personalities of every kind, has coun.
tenanced no attacks on the candidates
of other parties, and has concentrated
his efforts on the affirmative side of
the campaign-and he has shown that
this method can be made to win. If
any or all of the republican candidates
had been defeated, Mr.. Sprague would
have had the consciousness that every
proper effort had been made for their
success, and there would have been
no regrets with reference to the
methods followed. As it is, with all
the candidates elected, victory is &C.
cepted with qualification. OF course,
but with no gloating over the defeat.
ed, and with no occasion for the exis.
tence of any bitterness in the minds Of ,
those who fell short of success. Tae
judgment Of those who insisted on the
acceptance of the position of chairman
by Mr.. Sprague is amply INDICATED.
A word may be said about the sup
port given Mr. sprague in his work
Alone, one man could have done little. ,
But the chairman in this campaign has :,
had the hearty support and co-opera.
ton, not only in the degree of force :
put into it, but in the temper in which
this work was prosecuted, of earnest
and capable men in Ill sections of the
state. The judgment of the chairman
as to methods has appealed to them
as sound, and they have supported
him with will. Congratulations to
everybody.
