The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1918-05-09
From A Nonpartissnss Viewpoint.

Among the resolutions. indorsed at
the Lincoln Republicans league meet
in Minot on May LIST was one 70 the
effect that it would not stand for n
"secret caucus" and ut the same
meeting they held one and not a sim
gle newspaper man was allowed in,
nor anyone else who had not creden-
tials. Consistency thou art a Jewell -
We also learn that the meeting was
not very harmonious. They had the
same old trouble, too many Of them
wanted to sacrifice themselves for the
country's benefit.
Think Of it! Jerry Bacon support
ing a platform of State or Federal
Ownership of Public. Service Utilities.
Also Teigen, Garden, Berg, the rest of
that outfit who have been yawping
for some years back that this is So
cialism.
Jerry, Steen and the bunch want to
give us a real workable initiative re-
ferendum and recall law. Wonder if
the searchlight that the Leader and
League officials turned on the present
one they gave US had not something
to do with their promise to hand as
another lesson?
We-are glad though that Teigen
and his bunch have been able to get
such astute politicians as Jerry, Kraa-
bel and the rest of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce 1ackeys to take
over the leadership Of their party and
try and pilot it over the stormy politi-
cal sea. We knew all the time that
Teigen was just a ward heller" to
use a Tammany expression, and that
Matt had the foresight to have Tel
gen keep in his proper place.
The Farmers Advocate in last
weeks issue stated in it's editorial
column that one Of John Stems
strongest qualification for governor
was, that he had no selfish interests
to serve. Does the editor of the Ad-
vocate believe that Jerry Bacon has
no selfish interests to serve? It is
reported that MI. Burdick expressed
himself very strongly along this line
and what would happen any candidate
who had to carry Jerry Bacon on his
coat-tail. But then, politics, makes
strange bedfellows, and it is anus
ing to see Matt lay down with Jerry
and the old bunch.

Bottineau, May s, 1918.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1918-05-09

If the Courant had read the report from
Minot it would have known that Steen and
not Doyle is the candidate of the anti
Townleyites for governorA That name:
Doyle seems to have a terrifying effect on
the Courant crowd.-Advocate.
one of the main props of the Teigen gangs
hope of SUGGESTS not an anti Townleyite;
which assurance is a fair sample of our con-
temporary's usual attempt at veracity. AS to
the terrifying effect of the former gentle
mans name on "the Courant crowd" we have
no h~esitancy in stating that thus far it has
failed to cause anyone connected with this
paper to go into commissions, as appears to be
the case of the Advocate whenever it has oc-
casion to mention the lame of one Townley.
F. O. Hellstrom's conscience would not
permit him to keep still any longer and he
is rapping Townleyism. It looked good to
him for awhile; but no more for him.-Ad-
vocate. A /
No, "Hellstrom's conscience would not permit
him to keep. still a moment longer'-after he
had been virtually kicked out Of his job. Then,
too, there be those so inconsiderate as to con-
tend that ,Teigen would have been obliged to
have looked elsewhere for an editor for his or
gan had Burdick but have defeated Frazier for
the gubernatorial nomination two years ago.
And thus, as ever, does dire events from tri-
vial causes spring" .
House Bill A, the very mention of which
puts the kept press in a blue funk, does not ap-
pear to have any terrors for the rank and file
Of the honest tillers Of the s~oil4in fact it seems
to look mighty good to a great many as is evil
denced by the fact that upwards of $4,000 Of
them signed the petition praying for the sub
mission to the electors Of proposition to amend
the constitution, which proposed submission
amounts to practically the same thing as was
designed to have been accomplished by that
ubiquitous measure !.

CRISP Y'OVER
5000 BALE BEHIND

Crisp county is still more than g.
900 bales behind in cotton yield
compared with the cotton ginned dur
ing the previous year. Cotton ginned
prior to November IA this year a.
mounted to 14,911 bales.
This indicated a great falling off
as the season nears the end and there
is every indication that Crisp will run
$500 bales behind last year. Much of
the loss is attributed to the work of
the weevil this year as compared with
his work the previous year
There is every indication that the
acreage will be cut down in 1919 and
an effort will be made by those who
grow cotton to prevent the weevii
from destroying so much of it.

|CE0RGIAPAYS HONOR
ITO LATE JUDGE HART

Atlanta, Dec. 10.-The flags on the
public buildings of Georgia are at half
mast today, and will fly at half mast
for thirty days, in honor of Judge
John C. Hart, state Tax Commission
err, who accidently shot and killed
himself while hunting with two COM
panions last Saturday on his planta-
ton in Green county.
Judge Hart was splendid example
of the finest southern chivalry and
citizenship. His administration of
the tax equalization law of Georgia
as tax commissioner, has probably
accomplished more than any other
single influence toward the general
improvement of Georgia's system OF
taxation. His rule of conduct as a
public servant was simple and infiex-
ible, but yet a rule not always found
in these modern times when political
eXpediency so often dictates the
course of public officials. He kept
an eye single upon the interests of
the state, and no influence could
swerve him from his course. He stood
ike a giant oak in the forest, power
full and strong, and his loss leaves a
gap that is had to fill.
The funeral of Iudge Hart was held
yesterday afternoon in the Presbyter-
ian church at Union Point, and was
attended by large concourse of the
leading public men of Georgia.
