II wouldn't 10 right to let thu efsc.
ton period pass without . word Of ap-
probation Of r. A. Nestos, Of Ntnot,
ana the people Of that district who are
his warm friends and supporters.
MI. Nestos was urged by local
friends and many others throughout
the stase - the standard bearer Of the
Independent forces in this campaign.
He was generally recognised ~ q man
possessing the qualities which . gov
ernor Of North Dakota needs. Friends
built up around him . strong organi-
ntion, and sought to have him en-
dorsed for the gubernatorial position.
In tho Judgment Of the convention
which met at Ninot and made . care
full survey Of the state. Mr.. LANCER
was. all things considered, tho more
available candidate, and he WA en-
dor1ed.
From time to time efforts have
been made by Socialist cam%paigners
to create the impression that Mr.. Mes
tos and his friends resented this de-
cision % greatly that they would con-
tribute nothing toward tho success OF
the independent ticket. but would, on
the contrary. knife 1t at the polls. The
attitude Of Mr.. Nestos and his close
friends all through the campaign has
Of itself been a sufficient denial Of
this charge. They took off their coat.
and went to work for the ticket, and
the work which they did contributed
in so small measure toward Its meas.
ure toward its success. And we have
seen the results ~ the polls in the
splendid vote which the city Of Minot
and the county Of Ward gave to the
independent ticket. Mr.. Nestos and
the mon who have been close to him
are to be congratulated on the splendid
work which they have done and or
the results which have followed 1t.

"A AND GUEsswoRK.

Yesterday morning The Herald pre-
scented to its readers the fact that on
the vote reported up to the time Of
going to press from as many Of the
precincts of the state as could be
reached at that time, LAnger's total
was 1s.4oS and Frazier's s,s49. This
gave LANCER a lead of over 5000. This
was the latest information available.
and it included figures as was stated,
received too late to be included in the
published table. Not only were these
totals given, but, with the exceptions
noted, Information was given as to
where the votes were cast, 80 many
precincts ip each county delivering so
many votes. Those were the facts, and
they were given to the public Just as
they stood. with the explanation that
the figures included a larger portion
of, the city than of the rural vote,
hence that it could not be expected
that this lead would be maintained.
In the several editions Of yesterday
the same method was pursued. read
ers of the paper being given from time
to time the latest exact information
available: and care was taken to &C.
quaint the reader. not merely with
the total vote cas- up to that time, but
with the places where the votes were
cast. In other words, The Herald act
ed ~ a purveyor of real news to its
readers, and 1t provided them with
such information that, If they were in
clined to make estimates on the final
result, they could approach the sub
ject intelligently.
The Fargo Courier News yesterday
morning attempted to thrill its readers
with the assertion blAxoned across Its
front page, that Frazier had carried
the state by 10000. No figures were
presented to justify such a claim
There were no such figures. The
statement cannot be dignified by beins
called a guess, for guessing implies ar
effort to get somewhere near the facts
No such effort was made by the Cour.
Ter News, or by Its echo. the Grand
Forks American, which repeated the
Fargo papers wild story later in thu
day at a time when exact figures were
to be had for the trouble of picking
them up.
The Herald mentions these facts
just now in order to call attention tt
the different manner in which new,
is treated in the Townley press and il
the Independent papers. The forme,
habitually seek to deceive their read
ers, and they seem TO have become s,
confirmed in the habit as to be incap
able Of telling the truth even wher
lying will serve no purpose whatever
The independent papers have souRh
to supply their readers with real news
and to present the facts in a manner
which could be understood.
