Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1916-11-02

ASAAASS~ -
Nominees for Court House Jobs
Given Tremendous Support With
Big Landslide Majorities.
The battle of the ballots that will
be nation wide in its extent of area
next Tuesday, portends, as near as
can be forecast by the estimates form
ed from pre-election polls taken in all
of the presumably close states the
election of Wilson and Marshalls by
presidential electoral vote that will
be handsome endorsement of the
tempestuous four years incumbency
of the White House that has fallen
to the lot of President Woodrow Will
son. The vote on Tuesday is pretty
certain to show that the majority,
and big majority at that, are we'll
satisfied with the achievements Of our
president and his administration.
In the state it locks as though
North Dakota this year will readily
fall into the stride of the majority of
the states of the Union and send five
democrats to the electoral college to
cast their ballot to give President
Wilson q second term. The North
Dakota democratic bandwagon is also
for certain reserving a seat for Honest
J John Burke to succeed Senator Porter
ID. McCumher in the United States
Senate
Getting down closer to home the
campaign waged against Congressman
Helgeson by the democratic nominee,
Attorney George A. Bangs, OF Grand
! For 3, is now developing into such a
, spa4l lid one that the First Congress.
sional District is conceded by the
state republican committee as the one
lone district of the entire state where
there is a great chance of our can
didate making good when it comes
to the voter registering their say sc
ar the polls on Tuesday.
Owing to the withdrawal by Mr..
J. s. Boyd of his name from the bal.
lot, the democrats have but two in.
stead of three candidates for the
Legislature at the approaching elec,
tion. They are Mr.. Robert Robertson,
of Elkwood, and Mr. w. G. Mcbride
of Milton. Both of these gentlemen
have a statement in this issue which
we hope that every reader of the
paper will take the time to give g
careful reading, as what they say
shows the sincerity Of their purpose
to give their constituents if elected :
faithful and efficient service for the
best interests of all classes Messrs
Robertson and Mcbride have botl
resided in the county for the greater
part of the past thirty years and a:
te~their honesty and integrity theil
ism t a Wurd.-that we can say tina
will add to the high standing eacl
has in the communities in which the.
| live.
To briefly here once more review
the candidates on the democratic
ticket for county office there is little
that now needs to be added. Every
man, whom we as party endorse ant
ask the consideration of the voter:
for can show ability, character and is
each in his way particularly adapted
to serve the tax payers of the county
in the position for which he is can
didate. With nothing derogatory t,
the opponents of these men we assert
and feel we can do so truthfully, tha
the democratic county nominees ar,
the right men tor the voters to elect
if their first motive is to best serv.
their own interests.
For county treasurer, Donald Nc
Lauchlin. is making a campaign fol
votes that cannot do anything else
than make those on the ticket with
him feel that the fact of having {
real farmer for a teammate is mos
decidedly more of a boost than hind
erance. This is the second introduc
tion of Mac into county polite.
and the trial heat that he trottec
with such good showing in a prior
campaign, although he then finished
in second place, makes his chances al
the brighter this year. He has the
further advantage over his opponent
of not having been an office holder,
is new man seeking a job in the
court house and is now picked as 8
winner when the votes are counted.
In the place ON the ticket 70,
sheriff, in the democratic column viii
be found the name of Allan h. Nc,
