this gentleman, and it didn't cos
him anything to get it either. H
was familiar with the facts when tn,
"embezzlement" took place.
Our county auditor has much t,
thank Mayor Dawson for.
Now, let us see what our auditor
with his record as close as Glasgow
tried to pull on his opponent, yer,
worthy farmers wife, Mrs. Beatric.
K. O'Grady, the farmers candidat.
for county auditor, and who will ps
elected in spite of her gentleman, op
ponent.
Now, in spite of this record, let thu
Producers News tell the people wha,
the man (?) Redmond does to show
how big man he is. How manly hi
is! :
Let us tell the story he is peddline
about his opponent, the farmers can
didate, Mrs. Beatrice K. O'Grady.
Mrs. O'Grady in 1914 was appoint.
ed postmistress of Oriska, North Da.
kota, succeeding the first cousin of
the editor of the Producers News
who quit the postofiice to become
cashier of the Oriska State Bank
For nine years Mrs. O'Grady held
the Office being appointed three times
Every six months for nine years the
Office was inspected and the accounts
We're found perfect.
During the latter years of her ten
ure of Office, her husband, John o.
Grady, came to Plentywood and took
up homestead, Mrs. O'Grady re-
naming at Oriska holding her office
as postmaster. In 1913, early in the
winter, she came out to Plentywood
to reside with her husband. Mrs.
McKibbin acting as her deputy while
she was gone.
In the spring, Mrs. O'Grady re-
turned to Oriska, North Dakota,
asked for an inspection of the office
because she intended to resign and
come to Plentywood to reside with
her husband.
The inspection was granted and the
books were found to be perfect. Ms.
resigned and prepared to
move to Plentywood to join her hus-
band, and when about to leave
month later, the inspector came back
and accused Mrs. O'Grady of padding
her cancellation accounts, and charg-
ed that she was short about eight
hundred dollars.
She denied the allegations and
stood trial. She presented the re-
cords of her predecessors, for the pre-
vious six months, to the Federal
Court at Fargo before Judge Amidon,
showing that in the six months prior
to her tenure her record showed that
the man she succeeded reported a
greater cancellation than she had re-
ported and that during the time of
ner absence her deputy showed an in
cancellation and that the
gentleman who succeeded her showed
! large increase in cancellation. The
entire trial lasted about two and a
lalf hours and the jury vindicated
Ter in just four minutes. Mrs.
then returned to her home
It Raymond, where she has lived the
anne exemplary life that she has al
Ways lived and to know the lady is to
owe and respect her.
Mrs. O'Grady, because of the fact
hat the farmers were acquainted
With her ability, and pleasant man
ers, and the fine inspiring life that
he lived, nominated her for the Office
f County Auditor.
J. F. Redmond ran away from his
ecord at Glasgow, and came to
'lentywood to get another start.
Iany people were acquainted with his
ecord and out of compassion for his
yife and himself, aided him into Of
ce here in order to give the man a
nance to start again in life, believ-
lg that one lesson would be enough
Or the young man with a very pleas
mt wife and a young son. How he
as respected his own wife and son,
is own official and private life is a
wing testimonial. It is both a dis
race to himself and Sheridan coun-
!.
Now, how does this gentleman, with
le Glasgow record, who owes so
uch to the tender heart of the May
. and officers of Glasgow, show his
nder and kind heart, and his appre-
alton Of the compassion shown to
