FOR THE OFFICE OF SHERIFF

To The Voters of Richland County:
In making this announcement and
asking the support of the people of
Richland County for reelection to the
office of Sheriff, do so feeling that
during the past two years, that have
held the Office, it has been my aim and
desire to render to you honest and
faithful service; that l have endeav.
ored to perform every duty imposed
upon me without fear or favor. Hav-
ing held the Office for but one term, 1
feel that am not asking too much
from the voters of this county, in So
liciting their support for another
term.
The work that is heaped upon me At
this time, BY reason Of my position on

ohice, will make it impossible for me
to make a canvass of the county,
which under normal conditions I
would gladly do. I feel that my first
duty is to my country, and this duty
will be given my first and best con-
sideration, for to win this war is our

This Is to call your attention to the
fact that I am a candidate for County
Superintendent of Schools.
My education was obtained in rural
school, high school, normal school and
university. Twenty-Five years of ex-
perience In school work-including
seven as rural teacher and sixteen as
supervisor-have added to my interest
in educational problems, and can
render better service because Of that
experience. am one of the compare
lively few men who are giving their
lives to educational work, and there
seems no call for arguing at length
the question of my fitness for that
work.
am grateful for past favors and
earnestly ask for your votes on Nov

Sincerely yours,
CHAs. HANSON:
The Wahpeton times., 1918-10-31

To The Voters:
have hesitated, for some time, to
come before you and make any plea
in behalf of my candidacy for cleo
tion to the Office Of Judge of the
County Court. A good reason lies
behind this hesitation. That reason
rests upon my belief that this is not a
time for political rivalries nor for
squabbles over ONCE. This 10 a time
for service; service to our country,
service to our homes and service to
our God. War. sickness, saddened
homes and aching hearts surround
us. Our sons are dying in Flanders
Fields, giving up their lives to make =
whole world free. How then can We,
who seek public Office, come among
you to call your attention away from
the most awful and the most wonder
full moments in the life of this nation?
How can we accord to our duty to
our country and the need for service
it holds, by asking you to remember
us; when there are a hundred things,
more needful of your attention, more
worthy of your remembrance? Such
a sentiment has held me back from
what, at other times and in other
years, would have been my privilege
that of soliciting your vote and sup
port.
Yet, would seem ungrateful and
unmindful of the kindness shown me
by the people of Richland County,
were I to remain silent and dumb at
this time. I have striven, with every
power in me, both as an official and as
a citizen to be of service to you, to
meet every demand made upon me on
behalf of Our Common Country and
to serve without wavering the Land I
love. That is not uncommon or to
be taken as a boast. It has been my
plain duty, as saw 1t. No person can
do more than his duty. and one might
do less.
II my course has met with your ap-
proval; If I have kept the faith of our
fathers; If you believe that will con-
tinue to give faithful and eflicient
service as County Judge and that /
will continue to render to my country
the service, which as an American
citizen I owe it, I ask your continued
friendship and support now and on
election day.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE VAN ARNAM. I

This Is the last issue of the Times
before election. The Joint Committee 2
back of Mr. Doyle has conducted a
new kind of campaign for North Dako-
ia. The influenza made it impossible
for a speaking campaign. So the com
mittee depended upon the newspapers
Of the state, with display advertising,
to carry their messages to the vot, rs.
They will not put out any pre-clec-
tAon} mud-slinging canards. They
have given the facts the best they can
and now it is up to the voters, who
will decide the fate of the ten amend

10 entirely false. know of no cas-.
when Mr.. Townley or any other Of

vote of any member Of the legislature
nor where the opinion of any officer
OF the League has been permitted to

Der OF the legislature. wish to have
1t known and understood throughout
this district that shall use my own
judgment on legislation, and shall not
accept the opinions or dictation OF
any person connected with the Leasue
and shall pay attention only to the
wishes and desires of the people of
my home district and shall act onlv
for their interests.
1t has been intimated, also, that
my election will mean the bankruptcy
OF this state, the plunging of it into a
tremendous debt. I have been for
thirty years farming in this district,
paying for my farm and working hard.
1t Is a poor compliment to my good
Judgment to suggest that I should,
if elected to the legislature, assent to
or vote for any measure that would
wipe out the work of lifetime for
myself-if were not to consider NV
neighbors and the friends of thirty
years in the district. The election Of
a man to the legislature does not, I
am sure, change him from a careful,
hard-working and reasonably honest
man into foolish, lazy and dishonest
man, and l see no reason why I should
not be able to care for your interests
and mine in Bismarck as efficiently
as I care for my own farm In Rich
land County.
I solicit your support on the above
basis and trust may have your votes

-fk This |: paper has enlisted
with the government in the
oa16e Of america for the
eex1od Of the war

Upon the threshold of the coming
election, we believe it to be our duty
to say word concerning public Office.
Among the men in the field we find
Gustav Schuler, who is candidate for
States Attorney. Mr.. Schuler was not
a candidate before the primaries, but
those who believed that he would give
the best service nominated him and
he consented to run for that office;
this was a case of the office looking
for the man.
We believe no mistake was made
by those who desired him for their
States Attorney, because MIR. Schuler
is eminently fitted for the position,
being one of the oldest lawyers in the
county and being one of the men who
has materially assisted in the up
building Of the county.
Being a taxpayer himself he has
always shown himself ready to bear
his burden as such, and the taxpayer
will appreciate the fact to be, that so
far as the tax proposition coming be-
fore that Office, all interests will be
safe-guarded.
M r. Schuler is no doubt one of the
most widely and favorably known men
OF this county and having known his
activity for generation we know that
he has ever viewed with the utmost
liberality any question, whether pub
lie or private. which has agitated the
minds of his fellow citizens and his
MOTTO ever was that whatevtr is
best for the majority of the citizen
ship ought to be endorsed by all.
In his legal practice. while exten.
sfve, he has been known as fair and
Just man. which is borne out by the
fact that Notwithstanding his many
cases in court. he today. perhaps, has
more friends in the community than
the great majority of men in active
business
His fairness and liberality are pro-
verbal and no one. whoever he may
be has ever hesitated laying matters
which needed rectification before
him.
We believe owing to his ability and
fafrmindedness he ought to be elected
to the office of States Attorney and we
predict his election. And this haIiaf
seems to be shared by nearly all with
whom we have had occasion to ex-
change opinion upon that weighty
proposition.
