LEACUERS NOMINATE
C0UNys' TICKET

met in the court hOU :. yesterday fore
noon at ten o'clock I E formulate plans
for the coming poll ) Al campaign and
to nominate a leg 8 tive and county
ticket. This year sc league for the
first time decided 50 go into county
politics and yes 8 lay nominated a
full ticket for 2 ne various offices.
There was goc = delegation of men,
bers from varior ections of the coun-
ty present at tl Cgathering. The fol-
low.ny legislative ticket was nomi-
mated:
Senator Fifteenth District
LOUIS NOLTIMIER
Representative Fifteenth District
S. JOHNSON. 70.
The nominee for the senate has re-
Gently moved to Valley City from the
Farm in Noltimier township where he
mas lived for long time. He needs
10 introduction at our hands and it is
certain he will get no support from us.
MIR. johnson is farmer living near
Wimbledon. We believe that he is
also president Of the bank owned and
controlled by league members. We
do not know the gentleman at all but
ne is said to be nice man and compe-
tent so far as knowledge is concerned
but the question is as to whether If
he were elected he would be rubber
stamp like the last bunch or whether
he would have the courage to vote as
his conscience dictates. Our opinion
is that no man nominated and controll
ed by the Townley forces dare do a
thing but vote as they are told to. We
have lot Of experience in this direc-
ton the past two years and the result
is that "by their works ye shall know
them" and as result of their work
the farmers are paying II per cent of
the taxes. Do you want any more OF
this? And if Mr.. johnson is bank
er does he not come under the head of
big business? Or is it only big bust
ness when a banker is nominated on
the other ticket Then we come down
to the thirty eighth district. Senator
Charles Noltimier is hold over there
fore we have to stand for him for two
years more anyhow. Enough said.
For representative c. j. Olson, who so
successfully nodded his head when the
red headed clerk read bill in the
house and shook his head very posi-
ively when the black haired fellow
read a bill, thus establishing his fit
ness to make laws for the people of
Barnes county, was renominated. ne,
also made splendid record OF
achievement in the last house by his
vote to muzzle the press and to create
a monopoly for the fifty-three news
papers controlled and over stocked by
the Townley- -Brinton combination and
also voted to kill the red flag bill and
other great things accomplished by
this truly Representative Of the people"
would take long time to tell: We
will wait until later in the campaign.
The matter of county ticket then
came up and here is the result:
County Audior-%
JOHN KRUG.
Mr.. Krug is now deputy county
treasurer. He distinguished himself
about two years ago by heading a
bunch of fellows into the Times-Rec-
ord Office in an attempt to boycott this
paper with the result that we have a
larger circulation than ever. He will
nc doubt borrow today's paper from
a neighbor to see what good things
we have to say about him. The re-
suit of Mr.. Krug's, boycott has left
the Times-R Record with larger circu-
lation than ever. We have memory
equal to an elephant-which natural
lists assert has the best memory OF any
animal alive. We shall head boy
colt on John Krug during the summer.
Charley Nelson. the best county audi
tor in the state, should have easy sail
ing for reelection. We are strong for
Charley.
County Treasurer
c. A. FISHER.
Mr.: Fisher is a fine man and we
have not word to say against him:
If he is elected treasurer he will I'LL
the Office with credit
For Sheriff
ENGLEBRET LARSON.
The convention certainly showed ex-
ceslent diplomacy in endorsing Sheriff
Larson, In the first place the bunch
Knew there was absolutely no show
to put Engebret out of the sherlft's
Office, therefore he was very wisely
We want to say that Sherln
Larson has made good, an excellent
sheriff, and he is by all rights entitled
to the other term, the law allowing the
sheriff to only hold two terms.
For Register of Deeds
GEO. A. LEMLEY, of Pillsbury.
This is gentleman we do not know:
He is said to be competent and If
elected will fill the Office efficiently
but we are going to stand by Mr. Roe
in the coming fight. He is making
good as register Of deeds and we see
no reason at this time to vote against
him Just to please few fellows who
feel that they want to "clean up the
court house. We look to see Olaf run
like scared jackrabbit in the COM
ing primaries.
Clerk of Court
HARRY OLSBY.
We might say the same about Harry
They knew he would be a winner so
they endorsed him. It showed excel
lent political acumen-you got to give
it to them on this point. Harry is a
dandy clerk of court and it would be
a waste of time to try and get his
"goat" t"-they knew it.
County Judge -
O. H deS. 1RGENS.
