he will be honest as a Judge, and if he
is dishonest as man he will without
doubt dishonor the ermine of the
bench. Judge Leighton is honest. In
all the time he has been on the bench
no finger of suspicion has been pointed
at him, and whatever his decision has
been in any case it has been his hon
est Judgment. Judge Leighton is not
only honest but he is appropriated and
unbiased. He sees in litigation neither
friend or foe. His worst enemy need
not fear coming into Judge Leighton's
court. He will get square deal. He
has judicial mind and temperament.
He brings good common horse sense to
the consideration of every case. He
is sympathetic. He recognizes that
men at most are frail human beings
and tempers his justice with mercy so
necessary for the reformation of the
unfortunate. He recognizes that every
man brought before the bar of justice
charged with crime is not a hardened
criminal When he finds some young
hayward man or unfortunate who has
gone wrong through unfortunate cir
cumstances, he seeks rather to regain
him for good citizenship and tries to
show the young offender that by right
doing he can become good respected
citizen. Judge Leighton is an execu-
tive, and has the happy faculty of
cleaning up court business with dis
patch. Until Judge Leighton came in
to office the court calendar of Ward
county was never cleaned up but the
work was at the last term entirely
completed and there is now on the cal
endar only the accumulated work of
the past few months. Litigants can
not complain of the laws delay in this
court. He is a good lawyer and of
the thousands of cases that have been
tried and disposed of in his court dur
ing his term of office only few cases
have been appealed and his record of
reversals in the supreme court is as
good as any judge in the state. -,
The people of this district are we'll
satisfied with his administration Of the
Office he holds. They do not want a
change. They say leave well enough
alone. We are better served now in
the capacity of judge of this district
than ever before. We need no change.
There should be no change.

UTILIZING OUR ADVANTAGES.
In it's climate, it's soil and it's min

states, and which in many particu-

BIGGEST FARM SALE OF SEASON

Prediction reports from the Eighth
Judicial district tend to favor Judge
Leighton's candidacy. The judge will
receive a good majority in Renville,
Burke and Divide counties and in his
home county he will break even or bet
ter. He will come out of Minot with
a majority of several hundred and will
have an even break or better in the
country precincts. Mr.. Lambert, who
opposes Mr.. Leighton, has demonstra-
ted that he is some campaigner and is
not passing up any opportunities. The
fight has got to the sizzling-hot stage.

the old-time campaign torch process

enthusiasm for candidate or set of

selves hoarse for certain candidates
who didn't deserve the confidence of
the people. In these days of close
study and hard thinking, candidates
must give good reasons before expect
