seekers composed Of Andy Miller,
Alfred Zuger, the democratic tax
commission, Bloom, the Devils Lake
democrat. and few of their bench
men. They are labeled the Pro
gressive Republican League of
North Dakota, and are composed of
smooth politicians, cut-throat repub-
licans and shrewd democrats. They
are not true republicans and do not
care rap for the welfare of the

there all campaign literature is to

Secretary of State Hall calls at
tention to new law covering NOM
nations passed by the last legisla-
ture, which does not seem to be well
known, in the following open letter:
March Is, 1914.-Mr. r. Gilbert
son, Publisher, The Advance, Glen
burn, N. d. Dear Sir:
Our attention has been called to
the enclosed clipping which ap-
peared in The Fargo Forum on
March "a, purporting to be a copy
of an article which appeared in The
Glenburn Advance for last week.
and relating to the village. town and
school elections.
Under the law passed by the 1913
legislature, known as chapter 73 of
the 1918 session laws. provision was
made for the non-partisan nom
ination of city. town or village Of
ficers in this state. This act repeals
all acts or parts of acts which con-
flict with it. and provides that NOM
nations for city, town or village Of
ficers are made by the filing of petit
tions with the city or town clerk,
which petition must be signed by
not less than ten per cent Of the
qualified electors in the ward or the
precinct for which such officer or Of
ficers are to be elected. Provision
is also made for the printing Of Il
ballot similar to that used at the
general elections, by which the voter
signifies his choice by marking an x
after the same.
This law does away with the OBJ
jections which you have we'll stated.
to a caucus, and it is to be regretted
that the existence of this law was
not more generally known through
out the state this year.
With regard to the caucus nom
ination for school elections the 1911
law provides that for common school
districts such election shall be con-
Quoted and the votes canvassed as
provided by law for general cleo
tions.' See section 50 of chapter
266. 1911 session laws. For special
districts section l59 of the same
chapter canvassed in the manner
provided by law for election of
county officers"
For independent school districts
section 1872 provides that such cleo
lions shall be conducted in all re-
spects and the polls closed, and the
votes canvassed in the same manner
as municipal elections" Chapter
73 of the 1918 law would therefore
govern school elections in cities and
villages. Where there is an indie

Why! The Progressive League of
North Dakota cares not one iota for
the Republican party. 1t simply
proposes to force the candidates it
supports into Office. In order to
make it win. republicans and dem
ocrats alike are to be used. Hence,
the only good Progressive Repub-
lican" its headquarters knew at Lin
ton is Scott Cameron. This article
isn't in the nature of emnity to Mr.
Cameron. 1t is meant simply TO in
form the Republicans of this county
of some of the real facts regarding
the methods and aims of the socaled
Progressive Republican machine. 1t
is simply the remains of the iron
clad machine built up by John
Burke out of disRruntled republican
offlce-seekers and democrats. The
Record has no use for the PRO
gressive Republican League" There
are good men affiliated with it and
some of them we shall support for
certain Offices. There are good men
out of it and some of them we shall
also support. Just because man is
labeled Progressive Republican, !"
don't vote for him. Make him show
something elsa to recommend him.
Good, sound republicans in or out of
the so-called league are those deserv-
ing of support at the hands of re-
publican voters.

Now that the question of city cor
poration has been settled, it be-
hooves the voters Of this town to
forget any petty grievances arising
out of the recent election and get to-
gether for the purpose of getting
good men for the various city of
fices-and then stand back of these
men in securing results.
1t is to be presumed that those
who were against the proposition
were actuated by honest motives and
desire to do what they thought
was best for the general welfare.
Then, it is necessary for them to
work for the best men for the places
at the coming election Of Offices.
Since such officers are to be elected,
every person in Linton owes it to
himself and to his neighbors to take
an interest and see that the best re-
suits possible are secured at that
time.
AS will be seen by the letter from
Thos. Hall printed elsewhere in this
issue, every candidate which goes
on the ticket for city Offices must do
80 by petition filed with the
proper authorities and containing at
least ten per cent of the legal voters
of the city. In this very fact there
lies danger that the men generally
recognized as the best fitted to fill
the offices may not be on the ticket
at all. Many of the men best suited
for the Offices are the very ones who
would not circulate the necessary
petition.
There has been considerable SEN
timent that the commercial club
should call an open meeting of the
voters of the city and then discuss
the matter of candidates. Then.
the most suitable could be secured
as candidates by enough of those
present signing petitions for them
to insure their names going on the
ballot.
The men who will fill the various
offices for the first time are the ones
who will have more to do with the
success or failure of the new move.
If the mayor, city councilmen and
the officers do their level hest the
writer believes that it will not re-
quire year to demonstrate to the
most skeptical that the change in
the local municipal government was
a change in the right direction.
Let's boost for the best men, now,
no matter whether they were among
those for or against the proposition
originally, without personal preju-
dice and to the end that the men
elected will be the best material
available.

RADIUM CAN'T
ALWAYS CURE
Society for Control Of Cancer
Warns against Optimism.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 30-The OPP
Grafton performed last Friday al
Johns Hopkins university, in Balti
more, upon Congressman II. G. Brem
ner, in which radium was used as &
treatment for cancer, is giving wide
spread publicity that is decried by the
American Society for the Control o.
Cancer, of which DR.. Reuben Peter
son, of the University of Michigan. is
member of the executive committee
The society has just sent out note
of warning against exaggerated asser
tions as to the value of radium for
treatment, which reads in part as fol
lows:
Curative Qualities Limited.
"The curative effects of radium are
practically limited today to superb.
cial cancers of the skin, to superficial
growths of mucous membrane, which
are not true cancers, and to sCme
deeper-lying tumors of bone, ETC..
which are not very malignant.
THE problem Of constitutional treat
ment of advanced inoperable cancer
Is still untouched by any method yet
devised, or likely to be devised for ad.
ministering radium.
Even among the so-called radium
cures, 1t still remains to be determined
in many cases whether the favorable
result is permanent, or It to be follow
ed by the usual recurrence. The
most competent surgeons do not dare
to pronounce case cured until FIVE
years have elapsed, after an apparent.
ly successful operation. The same
test must be applied before we can
fully determine the real value Of ra-
dunn.
No Help to Generalixed Cancer.
ut should be emphasized especially,
that radium cannot at present exert
any permanent benefit on generalized
cancer, and since cancer Is widely dis.
seminated in the body, in the course
of the disease, this entire group OF
cases can expect no important relief
from radium.
Another large group OF cancers is
comparatively inaccessible to the ap.
plication of radium, so that the ulti-
mate course of the disease is not af.
fected, although certain portions OF
the tumor may be reduced in size
Again, there are many forms of can
Ger, although localized and accessible
to radium, which grow very rapidly,
and resist the curative action Of this
agent, so that no real benefit can be
expected from its USE"
