COMMUNICATION.
To Editor Courier Democrat:

10 Editor Courier Democrats:
| notice that the republican papers
are every day giving space to long
articles in which they make strenuous
efforts to justify their attitude in
editorially condemning the political
policy of the Wilson administration.
Before the starting in Of this falls
campaign there was hardly a paper
that came within the reach Of the
reading public of the whole northwest
but what from time to time would be
found to have something in its col.
umns commendatory of the policy be-
ing pursued by President Wilson and
his administration, for the efforts that
they were successfully carrying out
that kept this nation out of the
worlds war, and the home policies
that We're saving this country diplo-
matte trouble and expense to the
people.
Now since the election campaign
has started this fall nearly any re-
publican paper that you pick up is
attempting to tell its readers how
President Wilson has just done some
thing that is entirely the opposite to
what he should have done, thereby
casting disgrace and dishonor upon
the whole country either by not de-
c!arlng war or by not having used his
authority to force some of the war.
ring nations to come to time in a way
that would cater to their individual
ideas of what was right-the demand
usually being that either Germany or
England was the aggressor.
President Wilson has no fight with
Germany or any other country that is
mixed up in this affair 80 long as the
international law is observed; further.
more we are not going to war and the
interests of the farmers are going to
be looked after just as closely as all
of the other business interests of the
country so long as President Wilson
IS the official executive of the United
States and holding down the White
House.
The papers that were so loud in his
praise before the election campaign
started, and at that time we're oppos-
ing the prospective candidacy of
Hughes and his knocking tactics,
seem to have been "fxed' and many
of them are saying the very opposite
to what their utterances were regard
ing these tactics a matter of less
than six months ago.
Here in North Dakota there are
only about a half dozen democratic
papers, the state and Minnesota com.
bined possess two dailies to represent
that party, the balance of the papers,

CaHa1dafe for Clerk Of D1sh76 court
Charles S. Robertson seeks the
suffrage of the voters of Cavalier
county at the election on Tuesday.
November 7th, in his candidacy for
reelection to the office of Clerk of
the District Court upon a record dur
ing his present incumbency of EX-
perience. Efficiency and Economy.
A reeident of the county all his life
he is generally known by his consti-
tuent. The office is being given his
whole time and attention, with no
other interests to interior with a
faithful performance of the duties of
the office. Those who feel themselves
as being satisfied with his conduct of
the office in the past are respectfully
asked for their vote and support at
the polls on election day.

representing as many hundreds, being
republican. This IS the reason that
the democratic press finds such a
di 1~ficulty in reaching the voter, with
the facts of what is right and what
is wrong in this campaign. They
admit, however, that North Dakota is
n of the close states with almost
an even chance of it being carried for
Wilson and John Burke on November
7th. This is one of the states that
they are most anxious to carry for
Hughes, or in fact any other man,
no matter what kind of a poor stick
he is, just Sc long as he is a republi-
can. The slogan is "Anything to
Beat Wilson,
If the people of North Dakota are
left to their own judgment they will
vote for the reelection of President
Wilson, for the maintenance of
the present standard of just laws and
to keep us out of the worlds war,
which would mean the shedding of
the nations blood unnecessarily and
the piling up of a big debt on the
country.

THE HUGHES TEMPERAMENT.

When Taft became President he
was widely hailed as a posaessor of
the judicial temperament" Great
things were expected of him. After
four years of Taft the nation regis
tered it's dissatisfaction with his
methods by its overwhelming selec-
ton of Woodrow Wilson, virile
doer-of- the thing that needs. to be-
done who lets the %quibbling come
afterwards. Now comes Hon. Charles
Gvens Hughes, another possessor of
the rattan temperament, who wants
the populace to substitute his methods
for the practical accomplishment of
Woodrow Wilson. That Hughes would
out-Taft Taft in his disposition to an
ticipate the rulings of courts and de-
prlve the country of much practical
Legislation is the logical conclusion of
students Of comparative administra-
Eion records who consider that the
election Of another Taft. They point
ott that Hughes recently published
veto record furnishes conspicuous evil
dences of technical vacillation on
needed measures which he refused to
aIgn. In view of Hughes disposition
TO technical objection, they assume
that he would have vetoed the Adam
aor eight-hour law with grave ey-
pressjons of constitutional doubt. -
al least, and would have let the i'm.
pending strike and catastrophe take
place. In this connection, the Omaha
World.Herald' we'll illustrates the
greater safety to the nation of Will
sons executive directness over the
webbing evasions characteristic of
hughes, by saying: That strike
would have stopped here in the Mis-.
souri, valley and throughout the
country, the shipments of live stock,
poultry and dairy produce to market.
1t would have closed the markets to
the newly harvested crops. In South
Omaha alone it would have thrown
several thousand men out ofwork. 1t
*ould nave demorallZed business in
every city and town, and produced
Widespread suffering and restitution.

Would the Taft.Hughes tempera.

John l.. Schwarts, whose defeat for
a second term as Register Of Deeds
at the election Of two years ago was
a political accident, as evidenced bv
his opponent S bare majority Of four
votes, is the candidate of the demo-
Gratis for that office at the election of
Tuesday, November 7th, AS in the
campaign of two years ago, it may
he just as t%ruthfully stated that Mr..
Schwartz is the logical candidate for
this Court House job. Years of clerical
training as office deputy make his en-
dorsement for efficiency the strongest
possible kind of one. joni Schwartz
has an official record of one term that
as viewed by the people Of the county
deserves another and the way in
which his candidacy is being received
over the county forecasts that he will
be accorded a more decisive majority
than the bare four votes of a lead that
Register of Deeds John McGauvran
had to be satisfied with two years, ago
In voting for John Schwartz for regis
ter of deeds the tax payer knows from
past experience that untiring service
of unquestioned ability will be given.
His record as a public servant has
not the length Of that Of his opponent,
