If the vets of this country are so
anxious to re-establish the saloon why
not nominate Anheuser or Busch for
president and Val Blatz for vice pres
ident. That certainly should appeal
very strongly to the wet element OF
the country.
We had little editorial on rabbits
in Yesterdays Times-Record winch
seems to have gotten under the skin
of certain individual who dropped
into the Office this morning with the
avowed purpose of taking the hide OF
the editor, lacking it to barn door
and rubbing some salt on 1t. We are
still editing the old sheet in the regu-
lar way. The irate gentleman's only
criticism of the editorial was that he
thought it was little strong, so that
in the main we infer that we were not
very far from the mark.
The little city of Cooperstown is
progressive to say the least. Yester-
day the city council Of that place let
the contract for sewer swstem the
contract price being one hundred and
seventy-five thousand dollars. The peo-
ple up there want modern con-
yeniences and while these things cost
money after they get them in they
would not have them taken out again
FOR many times the money it cost them
TO put them in We are pleased to
note this evidence Of progressiveness
on the part Of the people of Coopcrs-
twp.
no matter how much the Fargo
Courier-News tries to show that the
league ticket is the progressive ticket
Of the state the fact remains that no
matter which side wins out they are
both committed to the candidacy Of
Senator johnson for the presidency
because he is the only candidate that
has filed and he is the only presiden-
tial candidate that we can vote for.
Mr.. johnson will carry North Dako
ia at the primary election next Tues
day and either set Of delegates elected
will be pledged by the vote Of the
state to 20 to the Chicago convention
to vote for johnson So that bunk
from the league papers will fall short
of the mark.
We are publishing elsewhere in this
issue of the Times-Record the regular
democratic ticket of electors and dele
gates. We are not democrat but we
stand for ti-Townleyism and want
the real democrats of the state to beat
out the socialist bunch who are trying
to gain control of the democratic
party in the state like they have done
with the republican party. The ticket
we publish represents the safe and
sane and patriotic wing Of the demo-
cratic party of this state and all good
democrats that believe in putting
North Dakota back into the place
where it rightfully belongs should
support this ticket at the polls next
Tuesday, Cut this ticket out Mr.
Democrat and be posted on how to
vote at the primaries.
The partial destruction of the NJ. E.
church by fire did not close the revival
which was drawing hundreds of people
for the splendid folks Of the Congre-
gational church came to the rescue and
threw wide the doors Of their beauti-
full edifce where the meeting moved
on with undated momentum. Last
night the auditorium would not ac-
commodate the vast crowd-the Sun
day school room caught the overflow.
The evangelist delivered splendid
discourse on the Life of Moses Many
Normal students and part Of the fac
ulty attending. Prof. Edwards got
some fine singing out of the big
chorus. They sure can sing! Tonight
the business men will be our guests.
The men of the church are responsible
for the attendance but everybody is
welcome. Come on time. This is the
last week of the Miller Edwards cam
paign.
The league press papers are running
what they term progressive republi-
can ticket headed by Hiram johnson
for presdent--using Mr.. johnson as
the catch on the ticket to fool the vot-
ers. The fact Of the matter is that |,
Mr.. johnson most emphatically refus- |
ed to become the candidate of the |
league but the bosses drafted him
without his consent and placed him at |
the head of their ticket. The regular
anti Townley republican ticket is be- |
ing published at the head Of our edi-
torial column and if you are opposed |
to socialism and extravaganza in state
affairs that is the ticket you should
vote at the primaries next Tuesday.
If you have no regular ticket sent to
you in the meantime cut this out of !
the Times Record it will make it easy
for you to vote The way the various
names will appear on the ballot next
no man unless he is personal
y acquainted with the candidates can
tell Lacquer from the other fellow so
that everybody will become confused
and vote blindly. There is only one
distinct issue next week-Towleyism
versus clean requblicanism.
The time has come when the voters
