L'SUEUR MAY Be
CANDIDATE FOR PRES
SOCIALISTS STRONG FOR FOR
MER MINOT ATTORNEY, WHO
IS ONE OF THE MOST PROMI-
NENT MEMBERS OF HIS PAR
TY.

Arthur LeSueur, formerly an at
torney of this city and for several
years president of the city commits
sion, appears to be the favoritc candi-
date for the nomination for president
Of the United States on the Socialist
ticket. There are four candidates, all
prominent men.
The New York Daily Call favors
LeSueur and says he is the most like
ly candidate, being more prominent
among the Socialists than any other
candidate. L. Benson, magazine
writer from Yonkers, N. Y, appears
to be the next strongest candidate,
The Daily Call publishes history of
the life of the former Minot man and
states that he was the first Socialist
mayor elected west of the Mississippi
river, at Minot; the second city in i'm
portance in North Dakota. LeSueur
is now dean of a law college at Fort
Scott, Kansas.

Plaza Editor Will Make Race in

Plaza, N. D., Feb. 16.-Geo. J. Smith
gubernatorial candidate, when seen to-
day, made the following statement re-
garding the articles published IN the
NOn-Partisan Leader:
Eyes, have seen the Leader article
and was very much surprised to learn
that it was a part of the league pro-
gram to prohibit candidate from ask
ing the support OF any league member.
am also surprised to know that 1t
is considered bad form. The league
officials claim that they have enough
members to decide the next election;
if this is true, their convention. to be
held at Fargo in the spring, will be a
deciding factor; it will make joke
out of the primary election law. The
league evidently expects the common
citizen of the state to sit back and
wait for their Endorsement and wait
for them to tell the people OF the state
just whom to vote for.
They intend to make some candi-
date a Christmas present of some
10000 votes, and yet they do not want
any candidate to hang up his stocking.
Not Surprised. ....
am not particularly surprised at
the Leader. | have feared that the
man who built up this organization
would try to handle it. knew that
the destiny Of the organization would
rest with Mr.. Townley, but | hoped
that he would use his power for the
betterment of the farmer of this state.
Since the Leader has posed as the
only paper in the state, that was
manned by honest men, that was guild
ed by honest motives and that was
honestly trying to assist the farmers,
we began to grow suspicious. There is
something wrong with a man who
climbs upon the Common Plain Of
Honesty, and crowds his fellows of,
asserting that he alone islworthy.
Refused to Publish. -..
Sometime ago sent the Leader my
announcement, as did all other news
papers in the state. They refused to
publish it. while all the dailies and
many of the small weeklies ran it. In
talking with Mr.. Townley he said
that he would not run anybody's an.
