Last appeal to Reason Through
This Paper to The Republican
Voters Of Crittend,n

Dear friends:
You will soon enter the elec-
ton booths to cast your votes
for some man for each of the
county offices.
There are a number OF can.
didates for the various Offices
and Il Is your privilege TO make
your choice, I0r each place, Of
your own free will. and 70 man
has any right tc object.
] am seeking At your hands,
the Republican nomination for
r.2say Court Clerk, aud, as you
know. there only two OF US ask.
ing for this place; Mr.. Guess,
the present incumbent. and my.
self. ] want TO say now. ss
fase said at all times. that my
opponent is a gentleman and has
been an efficient officer; this
have never denied.
He and have always been
good friends; we are now and
will bein the future, whatever
the result Of this primary elec.
ton may be.
Now friends, rich. here,
want you TO be reasonable and
do a little sound thinking for
yourself.
When one man makes good, is
that any argument that he is the
only man in the county who can
or will? Haven't we always had
good County Clerks? Don't you
believe that there are Others in
the county who are just as good
% any who have been tried in
the past? II not, then, we must
conclude. that we are falling
back in matters of education aud
civilization.
| am not seeking this office be.
cause ] want to take anything
from my opponent that is his.
/, neither do ! want to lessen your
esteem for him; but. friends, ss
he has said in his letters to you,
this Is the peoples oflice;;" and
II is theirs to give to whoever
they will.
do otfeel that | am the only
one, other than my opponent, in
the county, that is qualified to
do this work; know there are
many other young men who are
just as well qualified and just as
deserving as either Of us, and
there will be many more as the
years 20 by because the people
are taking more interest In edu.
cation every year. s.
Perhaps you have children that
you are trying to educate and
you would like to see them have
somo opportunity In the future.
Do you think II 10 fair to the
public In general, TO give one
man THE Office for no many years,
thereby holding oil Others back.

Nothing But the Truth Proves Greatest
ifarcical Comedy Of the Season

Nothing But the Truth Proves Greatest
}Farcical Comedy Of tho Season
Bismarckers were given a real in
sight into joyland last night at the
Auditorium when Max Figman and
his strong supporting company pre-.
sented Nothing but the TRUTH" to a
large and representative audience.
Anderson and Weber, the producers,
knew what they were talking about
when they heralded this The first big
laughing show of the season with 3O4
laughs by the clock. They might ev-
en- have underestimate the number
as far as the audience could Judge as
they were too continuous to count
them. Max Figman, the star of the
evening kept mixing things up for
his cO-partners to such an extent that
each incident in the comedy was
worse than the preceding one.
Mac NJ. Barnes as e. M. Ralston of
the firm of Ralston & Company, Fred
erick as Richard DonnOlly, a
member of tAe firm, and Glen
Eevins as Clarence Van Dusen gave
splendid support to Mr.. Figman. Will
liam Friend portrayed the Bishop, Lo-
lta Robertson, Miss Ralston; AIDE
laide Hastings, Mrs. Ralston, and Mar
garet Allen neighbor girl Emily
Murray as Mabel, one of the varieties
was splendid in her part as was May
Doherty, her pal.

jury to indict him would be vindica
Lancer Used State Funds,

|
The Bismarck situation leading vi
to the circulation Of grand jury petit
tons was largely political and purely
local, according to the affidaVits filed
by the defense. Attorney Stutsman
however, shows that Attorney General
LANCER mixed in this situation to the
extent of paying Charles w. Litteu
and Henry l.. Gilbert of Bismarck
several hundred dollars out Of the
state funds for affidavits executed
by workmen employed here and at MI
not by Hanlon & Okes. After buying
these affidavits, alleging fraud on the
part of the contractors, LANCER for
some reason pigeon-holed them, ana
he declined to give them up, although
August p, 1917, Edward S. Allen,
representing certain property holders,
filed a formal, written demand for the
same on the attorney general.
All of these affidavits, Mr.. Aliens
letter and vouchers showing payment
of $3.50 apiece to Messrs. Litten and
Gilbert are included in the affidavit
Of Attorney Stutsman. 1t was to in
vestigate this paving matter and the
attorney generals reasons for a sud
den loss of interest, state the atfi-
davits of Mr.. Stutsman, that petitions
calling for grand jury were circu-
lated in Bismarck.
Were Not For Hall.
K. Fl. Thistlethwaite, who signed
one of the petitions, presented an al
fidavit> this morning setting forth that
he had did so in connection with allie
cations as to Attorney General
Langer's refusal to investigate the
paving matter, as above set forth, ana
with view to finding out why these
affidavits were not disclosed. The
former city auditor under oath says
he had no thought Of Thomas Hall,
secretary Of state, at the time the
the grand jury petition, and that so
far as he knows, no other citizen of
Bismarck had such thought.
William McCrorie, proprietor Of the
Dewey house, makes affidavit that he
was interested in procuring the paw
ing afidavits last summer, and that
he believes all such affidavits were
pres ented to Mr.. LANCER, and that the
latter neglected to take any action
regarding them, or to return them to
the persons who presented them to
him. The affiant says that because of
these facts he signed the grand jury
petition presented for his signature in
November because the attorney gen.
eral had used the states money in buy
ing these paving affidavits, and he,
was anxious to have :;
grand jury investigation of this situa-
ton and find out why the affidavits
were not disclosed.
An affidavit of similar tenor was
filed by r. H. Everts, who denied any
thought Of Tom Hall when he.. the af-
fiant. signed petition asking for /.
grand jury. C. G.. SWEET and Anton:
Beer, who signed the grand jury pc.
titions as affirming the correctness OF
the signatures appearing thereupon,
tell of calling on Judge Nuessle in
company with Harry A. Thompson;
who stood sponsor for the petitions,
and of Mr.. Thompson's explanation 10
Judge Nuessle Of the reason for ask
ing a grand jury. which was Mr..
Langer's refusal to return or to act
upon the paving affidavits which he
had in his possession.

Camp life is very monotonous, as it
is, but without these two organiza-

are a great many temptations in a
soldiers life. He can not go to the
best places, nor mix with the best
people, such as he did at home. But
when our trials are the heaviest and
the temptations seem the harder, we
come to the K, c. building and forget

KNIGHTS Of COLUMBUS
RAISING BIG WAR FUND
Councils of State Plan to Raise
$4,000 as Quota for War
Work

The Bismarck council, knights of
Columbus, will shortly start a CAM
paign for funds for the carrying on
OF the war work in this country and
in France. North Dakota has been
assessed $4,000 as it's quota for the
big war fund which the knights of the
United States are trying to raise. Il.
e. Flaherty, grand knight Of the local
council, with the assistance Of. the
other members of the board, is out
lining plans for the campaign. The
local council has already raised $500
for war work and have been assist
ing in the work of the general council
since the entrance OF United States
into the great conflict. North Dako-
ta's assessment of $26,60O represents
approximately $40 per capita.
Mckenna Working.
George M. Mckenna of Napoleon,
and a big figure in the work of the
knights in the state, has been adj
dressing big meetings in Underwood
and Wilton. Underwood has contrib
uted 1855 and hopes to bring it up
well oyersthe $500 mark. Wilton 50
far has subscribe,l 5000, but hopes q
double it. MrsfMcKenna will devote
considerable of his time in working
for the campaign.
Soldier Tells of Work.
An interesting communication has
been received from Romanus j. Dow
ney of Devils Lake telling of the great
work of the K. of C.. and the Y. NJ.
C. A. at Camp Greene. He urges his
brother knights to push the war fund
and adds that he don't know what the
soldier would do without the K. of c.
and the Y. M. C. A. His message
follows:
when our trials are heaviest and
