WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR
J. B. CHRISTOPHERSON


paraded up and down the streets of
Glasgow announcing to the world that
he and his crowd had the old guard
down and out. He said: "The old
guard have not a move they can make.
They never could do anything in poll
tics except go to a saloon and 'holler'
and spend money. When the saloon
was closed they were done. They can
not make a move" Daddy Cutting did
not say who composer the cold guard"
but from statements he has been max
ing in the campaign we presume that
he referred to all those splendid
women and men in Valley County who
are opposed to the handpicked stock
holder-candidate gang. Notwithstand-
ing this unwarranted charge against
the integrity of the vast majority of
the voters of this county, Daddy Gut
ting now appeals for their support on
the ground that Son Cutting fought
in the trenches of France.
At last the public is let into the
secret of the alleged endorsement of
Son Cutting by the Cooperator News,
which afterwards published as a fact
that the Nonpartison League had en-
dorsed Son Cutting. Ever since Son
Cutting returned from France he had
been openly against the League, but
Daddy told him that he MUST accept
the League endorsement. The Courier
yields to no one in it's respect for the
soldiers who fought for the eternal
principles upon which this government
is founded. America owes them a
debt of gratitude. In turn they owe
it to the people of this county cour-
ageously to stand against the decep-
ton and misrepresentation of the
notwithstanding outfit. Son Cut
ting should not be permitted to de-
tract from his military record by be-
ing elected to office by misrepresen-
tation of the manhood and woman
hood of this county. Another thing.
Joe Sternhagen, Judge Hall and Chris
Hansen were candidates with Son
Cutting on the Democratic ticket at
the primary. They have unsullied mill
tary records. The Cutting family
fought them. They were defeated by
Son Cuttings notwithstanding
gang.
This fight is n of principle. No
voter of this county should permit
himself or herself to be DETECTED from
the path of duty. Largely the League
is now against the acknowledgements
date gang, which represents only a
few would-be office holders trying to
hoodwink the farmers. The League
realizes that it is necessary to vote
against all candidates who are merely
trying to gain the League votes by
deception. Daddy Cutting has many
times remarked that the League will
soon go to pieces and he will be the
biggest power in the Democrat party.
Working to that end he had himself
elected State Central Committeema.
If Daddy Cutting could wreck the
League to aid in his purpose he
would do so today. The way to meet
this issue is for the League to say with
its ballot: "We are for J. B. CHRIS
topherson for Clerk of the District
Court. We are for priciple against
petty politics and we will rid r
selves of the Cutting influence for our
W protection"
This is a fight for principle. All
those who are against the campaign
OF distrust propaganda, and the mis-
representation of the good women and
men of this county; all those who see
in the stockholder-candidate gangs
schemes only perpetuation of the fam
lily job and furnishing deputyships to
the fathers, mothers, sons and daugh-
ters in their family; all those who be-
lieve in electing the most competent
persons to office should vote straight
down the Republican ticket.
Only by this course can the League
rid itself of its Dunns, it's Buddens, it's
Arnolds, its Dignans, and it's group of
office hunters who would trade the
League for an office at any moment.
Only by this method can the good citi-
zens rid the county of propagandists
of d~istrust, f%alsehood, misrepresen-
tatiOn and deceit.
The stakeholder : candidate gang
says: "Vote as the card tells you"
Budden's card says: "Vote for every
League candidate" Remember these
political memberships are trying to
knife your friends. We appeal to you
to vote straight down the ticket
against them. Those who will vote
the League ticket say they are voting
not for individuals but for principle.
The self-same argument applies to all
who are opposed to this office-seeking
gang who misrepresent the League as
well as everything and everybody else,
