To the Voters of Cavalier County
As Il candidate for the office of Representa-
tive to the State Legislature on the Democra-
tic ticket. l respectfully ask your support and
vote at the General Election to be held on Tues
day November 18th.
One of the important matters coming up at
the next session will be legislation for good
roads. North Dakota's share of federal aid for
..,",d roads in five years amounts to 81 142, 150.O0
OF this amount S76, 143. 90 will be available on
June 3otl, 1917, provided that the Stat, con-
tributes a like amount. I favor the plan out
lined 10y the State Engineer to turn over the
procer,is of the motor license fees to the state
highway department. Legislation along this
line will have my unqualified support. 1 believe
it will benefit more people than anything else

Have you seer a sample of the big
ballot that will be used by the voter
on election day? There js one thing
certain. the high cost of living is not
going to affect the official ballot that
will be used in North Dakota this
fall. That "scrap of paper" will
be a sheet three and one half feet
long and eighteen inches in width;
it will contain the names of three
hundred candidates, representing three
different parties and two other parties
will have complete legislative and
county candidates in certain counties
of the state. After the voter has
conned over this big ballot, there will
still remain for his consideration the
non PARTISAN school, and judiciary
ballots and the small constitutional
amendment ballots. The job that the
voter takes into the booth with him
this fall is to say the least a mans
sized job.

Donald MCLAUGHLIN is the candidate
of the democratic party for the office
of county treasurer at the approaching
election. All indications point to the
fact that this is the farmers year.
In the years that are past it has been
the candidates from the towns that
have shook down the plums from the
political plum tree in the biennial
campaign for a court house job. This
year, however, the farmers are max
ing a band wagon campaign and it
looks as if quite a number of them
will be on the job after January LIST,
1917. There is no need for us to tell
the reading public of Cavalier county
that Donald MCLAUGHLIN is a farmer
and has been one in this county for
the past thirty odd years. They also
are aware of the fact that he is fully
capable and that his work in,thel court
house. if elected, will be just as
thoroughly and competently done as
has his actual work on the farm in
years past. Vote for him on Novem-
Der 7th.
