return for support for himself.
tickets were not in the bargain.
Jolt by having Christensen Elet
done to take the support from Ct
Mr.. Wheeler's stock argument is
that everybody opposed to him is own
ed by the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company or the profiteers. He charges
that Senator Myers sold his vote in
the Clark DAILY fight twenty years ago.
Mr.. Wheeler knows that this state
ment is untrue. This misrepresenta
tion of Senator Myers is made because
the Senator had the manhood to say
why he would not be party to de-
ceiving the people.
When Mr.. Wheeler was requested to
resign as United States Attorney be-
cause Senator Walsh would not ap-
prove his re-appointmend, he went
about the state charging that Senator
Walsh had sold out to big business.
For years he openly charged that
Governor Stewart was tool of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company. He
is now silent upon Senator Walsh and
Governor Stewart, but he thinks just
as much Of them as he does of rat
tlesnake.
His argument in his SUPPORT is. so
weak that school child can answer it.
He jokes about having his religion in
his wife's name and shows an aston
ishing knowledge of the cost of ladies
lingerie. His approval of the North
Dakota free-love program is inferred
from the rather stale joke about his
opponents buying tickets for North Da-
kota if that program was in force.
These are pretty lightweight argu-
ments for a candidate for the high
office of Governor to make.
The whole matter may be summed
I'D in one sentence. Wheeler wants
votes and he cares not how he gets
them. He wants to be Governor and
cares nothing for the State or County
ticket. Not word did he say in sup
port of the Cooperator News stock
halder candidates. Naturally he was
much disgusted with that bunch. He
could not fully appreciate this aggre-
cation trying to ride into office on his
coat-tail and at the same time failing
to give him their full support. When
he was talking about the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company's tools he
was looking earnestly at the Nonpar-
an-Anti-Nonpartisan candidate fol
judge, Mr.. Dignan, the "money lender
vice-president of two banks, who po-
litically, financially and otherwise is
bound up to that object of Mr.. Wheel
er's criticism. AS candidate for judge
Mr.. Dignan owes it to the people OF
this district to tell them just where
he stands on this question. Are yor
so obligated, Mr.. Dignan, that yor
cannot be free on the bench? Viii
you tell the people the whole truth
How could you honestly applaud Mr.
Wheelers attack upon the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company, knowing
what is has done for you? Tell the
people. Was Mr.. Wheeler fully sat
isfed with your Nonpartisan-Anti
Nonpartisan campaign? Why are yor
against the League in Valley County
as you say you are, and for it il
Phillips County? Why does the Coop
orator News say you are endorsed b!
the League and why do you say 20,
are not?
The judgeship is high honor. tt
fill the office requires high class law
yer. Mr.. Dignan does not posses.
the sound knowledge of the law or the
impartial temperament necessary fol
that office. He hopes that he can get
the League vote by having the Coop
orator News say that he has the
League endorsement. No man fit fol
Judge would permit this deception tt
be practiced upon the League or any
other organization or any voter.
Let there be no deception in this
campaign. The Republican nominees
by experience, ability and character
are better qualified to fill the offices
than their opponents. This is conced
ed throughout the county. The Coop.
orator News is silent on this subject
It can give no reason for the election
of any of its candidates except the fact
that they own stock in it or are mem
bers of stockholders families.
