Let US have loyalty
Loyalty to our town is good personal business
to every soul in the community. Every dollar you
spend here makes the man you spend il with the
more able to spend money with you for the things
you have to sell, whether you sell livestock, dry
goods, potatoes, butter or the labor Of your hands.
Sending money to the big city, except where
it cantbe avoided, is helping the big city and max
ing the whole people Of the big city that much more
prosperous. Let's keep the money IN oH own town
and make ourselves more prosperous. The big
town never does anything for our community save
to milk it.
This town and neighborhood is our home.
Here we are bringing up OH families and educating
thcm. Here is where our happiness lies. Here IS
also where our duty lies--a duty to do everything
in our power to advance the interests Of our home
and community.
This editor believes tha, he can serve his home
community in no better way than by urging every
man and woman to patronize the merchants Of this
town. Therefore, beginning today, this newspaper
will prin, series Of important articles on loyalty to
our town-Ioyalty to ourselves. We believe that
every subscriber viii fund them interesting, worth
while reading.

Auditors Want Text
OF Supreme Courts
Decision On Ballot

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 25.-Numer-
Gus inquiries have been directed to
state officials and to the supreme
court asking for the text Of the de-
cision given by the court in the three
column ballot case. Most of these in
quiries come from county auditors
who are uncertain as to what course
to follow.
1t appears that although William
Lemke charged tina There was wide
spread fraud. and although his news
paper announced that he won a vic
tory before the supreme court in the
case. he did not consider the matter
of sufficient importance to send copies
Of the decision to the various audi
tors, who nave charge OF printing the
ballots.
1t is not customary for the supreme
court in such to send copies of
the writ to each person affected.
Thirty county auditors were named.
1t was expected that Mr.. Lemke,
claiming the matter Of the three and
the four-column ballots to be Of such
great importance would have notified
the auditors. but apparently he forgot
about the matter after the charges of
fraud had been made.

Townley was in anything but a good

smoke Of battle has cleared away
after November 2. find out that you
with your votes have helped to de-
feat me, I am coming back here to
see that not n of you fellows will
