Dick Pugh, who has edited the
Nome Tribune for some years, has
sold out to V. McGilvry, who publish
ed the first issue under the new man
agement last week. The first issue
under the new management looks
good and would indicate that the new
man understood his business. We
wish the new editor success.
Mr.. Townley has taken five books
on physical culture to Jail with him
and says that he has been run down
the past five years and is all shot to
pieces, but now that he has little
spare time or his hands he will put
a lot of that time in in getting in
shape physically. No doubt he in
tends getting in such shape that he
can come back and lick Liederbach,
Lemke and few others he put on the
top when the league movement was
in it's prime and who seem to have
pushed Mr.. Townley out of control.
Mr.. Nestos is the recipient of many
little parties in his behalf in various
parts of the state, and tonight is to be
the guest of the Fargo people. In all
the speeches he has made since cleo
ton he makes it very plain that he
will carry out the wishes of the voters
as he sees it. He says, further, that
he is against selling our state bonds
for less than par and is firmly of the
opinion that he can sell them at 100
cents on the dollar. That is the right
system. North Dakota bonds under
safe and sane government are worth
100 cents on the dollar and these is no
reason we should sell them for 95 per
cent. We like Mr.. Nestos' attitude
very much and look for some real
good to come out of his electin.
Since few Dunn county radicals
want the newly elected officials of
the state stopped from taking their
Offices, Mr. Lemke has made it known
that he does not think that there were
enough petitioners signed on the re-
call petitions. This is rather a late
day for him to come out with any such
silly statement as that. When the pc
titions were filed as attorney general
he had all the chance in the world
to look them over and pass upon them.
He decided to let it go to the election
and now that he has been whipped to
a fragile he wants to cry baby over
the petitions 1t is too late, William.
A majority Of the voters of the state
have kicked vou out of office and you
should accept their verdict as final
because that will be the final result if
you try to stop Nestos, johnson and
Kitchen from going in: This playing
the baby act like Macdonald does not
90 down with the people of North Da
kota.
There is disposition on the part
of few radical leaguers to throw out
the hint that the independents have
been elected to office and that there
is no more money in sight
and no les taxes. These
same fellows should also tell
the people that the independents will
not be in office for at least three
weeks yet, that Frazier is still COVER
nor, that for five years the leaguers
nave had control of the state govern
ment and after promising the people
a better administration they have
given them trebled taxes and will go
out Of office with the state practically
bankrupt as a result of mismanage-
ment. They expect the new officials
to 90 into office and inside of five
days undo what the bunch now in has
taken five years to do. They should
be decent enough to give the new Off
Gals time to be inaugurated and to
do something before they commence
to complain. 1t certainly cannot be
any worse than it has been. There is
one thing that has happened since
election and that is that investors are
already inquiring about state bonds
they wish to purchase and it will not
be necessary to spend two or three
hundred thousand dollars hawking
the bonds all over the United States.
They are going to be sold and at a
par value.
Mrs. Esther Liederbach, writing in
the Courier-News this morning sends
up a wall like the last sad notes OF
diving swan. She says that the defeat
Of the nonpartisans last Friday week
was not a Waterloo but Bunker
Hill. The lady has her wires crossed
somewhat, she meant "bunco hill,'' be-
cause her bunch of socialists have
been buncoing the people OF North
Dakota for the past five years, put
they have gotten the scales pulled
from their eyes and have put a stop
to any more Of it: Mrs. Liederb s,
who we presume is the wife of Aaron
says that the independents won by
intimidation. 1t is not so very long
ago that one A. C. Townley said in
public speech here that if the bus
mess men voted the independent tick
ct he would come back and put them
out of business. Intimidation for
sooth. What do you call that. But
the business men did not vote the
league ticket and they are still IN bus
mess and Townley is in Jail. Then
Lemke tried to intimidate the voters
nv saving if thew signed petitions he
