isWhere the Examiner Stands.

that The Examiner read the re-
pods in the daily newspapers in
forming us that the democrats,
assembled in state convention at
Heena, had Endorsed the Nom
pat4isan league candidates. In all
that body, assembled at Helena,
there was but one man who went on
record as wanting to repudiate the
Noalpartisan league ticket and prin-
ciples. That man was Mr.. Jones of
Forsyth and we congratulate him for
talking the stand he did against that
element, who used the obnoxious and
aborninable primary election as a
subterfuge through which to nomin-
ates their candidates and thus steal
thSelection from honest and deserving
Democrats. While Mr.. Jones was given
nossupport at the state convention and
his.notion was overwhelmingly voted
doWn, he spoke the sentiment of thous-
anls of good democrats of this great
staAe and he spoke the sentiment of
this newspaper
Eor almost two score years The
EWminer has extolled the splendid
priA tiples of democracy. 1t has
beef the organ of that party in
Beaverhead county and it has
stMnchly supported democratic can
didates in nation, state and county.
1t Unsupported the candidates endorsed
blythe state central committee before
thkl primary nominating election when
thu concentrated effort of the dem5ES
crafts throughout the state was CEN
tered upon one candidate for each Of
fig for the specific purpose of defeat
ing the Nonpartisan league candidates,
seeking to destroy the democratic or
ganization.
The candidates, who received the
nominations on the democratic
Ticket at the primary nominating
ELECTION, are not democrats. They
dos not stand for the doctrines Of
democracy. They chose to make,
the race upon the democratic tick
etlbecause they thought that "Box
Kar'' Wheeler had the better chance
o. receiving the nomination and would
CARRY the Nonpartisan bunch to victory
more easily than if the republican
TICKET was chosen. With the exception
ofJudge John A. Mathews there is not
aEsingle candidate who received the
nomination on the democratic state
ticket worthy Of the support Of the
democratic party in this state DUR
ing the present campaign or deserving
of democratic votes on election day.
Every one of them was endorsed by
the Nonpartisan league and stand for
those principles formulated by A. G,
Tpwnley and his bunch Of political
cbrruptionists, who have not only
plunged the state Of North Dakota into
chaos, and who are not only seeking
To- destroy the identity OF the demo-
cratic party in this great Treasure
sstte but who are DESTROYS of obliter-
ating its very existence.
And it Is rot necessary to go out
Sfaq Of the city of Dillon to find the

Partisan league ticket. Harlow Pease
of this city is seeking the election fol
the six-year term of associate JUSTICE
Eyer since his residence in Beaver
head county until the present time Mr.
Iaease has professed to be a republi
can. In 1912 he ran on the republi
can ticket for judge of the fifth judi
cisl district and at that time was over
Whelmingly defeated. But no Mr.
hase Lelongs to the Nonpartisan lea
euse and so he is seeking election on thu
democratic ticket. We do not con,
INier him q democrat and we do no
Consider him worthy of the democratic
slpport in this county. At the pr
mary election held in this county las
August 1919 votes were cast. Harlow
Pease received but 1853 votes in tn
entire county. Mr.. Pease has lons
Been a resident of this county and i
R generally the custom to give a man
seeking high state honors, a big com
plimeatary vote. And yet-Harlov
Pease received but 100 votes in hi
home town and did not even carry hi
own precinct. On August 16 Harloy
Pease applied in the district court TO
