To the Souris Messenger:
Dear Sir: In your reply to
MI. Stairs communication in a
previous issue of the Mes
senger, you hasten to assure
your readers that you have no
quarrel with Mr.. Stair. Well,
then, who do you wish to quar-
rel with? With the precinct
delegates, and through them
with the League members? In
your column and and a half
editorial you try to blame some
person or set of persons for the
cause that Mr.. Stair was chosen
a county delegate to the state
convention
All through this article your
insinuations are so grossly mis-
leading and unfair, not to Mr..
Stair, but to the twenty-nine
delegates who met at the New
burg convention. If they were
weak and as easily led as you
wish to insinuate, go back and
blame the League members
farmers of twenty-nine town
ships of Bottineau county for
sending them.
In our township on the 22nd
day of February, fifty-six farm
ers. all league members, met to
select a delegate to the county
convention. They had all paid
their little old six dollars, which
seem to worry you and your
friends and the Chamber Of
Commerce so much, and had
their tickets.
Now this caucus or conven-
ton, Lou, was different from
the old-time republican caucus

The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-06-15

The subject of this sketch
was born April s, 1867, at Ha-
mar, Norway, and was educat-
ed at the University of Chris
tiana, from which institution
of learning he received his de.
gree of NJ. ID. Soon after his
graduation he sailed for the
United. States, coming directly
to North Dakota in 1893. His
first four years residence was at
Cooperstown. and from there
he moved to Valley City, where
he has since continued to re-
side, except for one year, which
he spent in Germany and Au-
stria, taking a post graduate
course in surgery. Besides en-
joying an extensive medical
and surgical practice, DR..
Platou is the owner and per-
sonally operates several large
farms in Barnes and LaMoure
counties. He also erected and
furnished at his own expense,
a 40 bed hospital in his home
city, at the expense of $40, 600.
That DR.. Platou is held in high
esteet by his townsmen and
neighbors is evidenced by the
fact that Valley City has three
consecutive terms selected him
as mayor, an office he has fill
ed worthily and to the general
satisfaction of his fellow citi-
zens. DIR. Platou's personal
platform is short and to the
point. In public announce
ment of his candidacy, as pub
lished in several newspapers
throughout the state, he says:
Il am a candidate for nominal
ton for governor on the demo-
cratic ticket. If nominated
and elected | promise to give
the state an administration for
all the people based on good
business principles, and will
administer the affairs of the
state as economically as is con.
sistent with good government.
l have no pledges to make than
that / will perform the duties
of governor solely in the inter-
est of all the people of the
State.' Good democratic doc
trine! Good common sense
pledges. Those who know DIR.
Platou best and who have fol-
lowed his career, say that his
performance will be greater
than his pledges. His selec-
ton by the Democrats at the
primary in June, will insure
the Republican nominee a real
fight at the November election.

Although the Deutschland stin was

ternoon, the Apache's commander was
asked by officials who are looking af.
ter the submarines interests, il he
could convoy the Deutschland to the

officials were referred to the navy de.
partment. Today the Apache's com.
mander said he had received no orders
to convoy the submarine. and had no
official interest in her.
