The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-04-20

In last weeks Courant we
published a news story from
the Minot Independent relative
to the conference of republicans
held in that city, which stated
in substance that the meeting
was called by supporters of
Burdick and Frame for the
purpose of eliminating one of
these two candidates from the
gubernatorial race. We pub
lished the story for it's news
value, supposing it to be au-
theniC, but now find that it
contained little, if any truth,
and desire to correct any false
impression that may have been
left. The Independent, which
has always been fair in things
political, likely guessed at the
significance of the meeting, as
so many others have done since
it was held.

these with an energetic desire

have the right combination for
