SECOND DISTRICT
CONGRESSMAN

From sources which nave been
bitterly opposed to each other. in
the last six years, the encouraging
word comes that past differences
have been settled and all Is serene
in the second district-tas relates
the office OF Congressman. Strange
as this may seem. coming from a
district which has had the most
bitter opposition the last cam
paign from each side, one mus.
look to the cause for the burying
of the Ratchet. TO unite upon one
man satisfactory to members Of
both parties Is no little trick, but
it is very apparent now that
regular prairie fire is going to
sweep through the second distric;
in the next primaries in the sec
ond with an avalanche Os votes
sending Gerald Nye OF CoOper3-
town to the next Congress after
election. When the name OF Mr..
Nye was first mentioned to us by
member who has been 1907 IVA
for the past six years, We didn't
believe there was such an animal.
We listened, hoFfully we'll admit,
to the tale but didn't take much
stock in it. Then from league
sources comes the radio that Ger
aid Nye is the unanimous choice
Of every member OF the league in
the district And thus for several
weeks We have been writing a
number of letters and find that
Geo. NJ. Young, who has held the
job for many years. Is going to
face the hardest battle of his CT
reer when he tangles for the re-
publican nomination with Mr.. Nye.
Who is this Mr.. Nye? Readers,
we will sum his standards under
the heading Fair. Square, Tried,
and True, the Golden Rule Policy
To All" Mr.. Nye is a North Da-
kota man of years standing and
has spent his life in the newspaper
business. During the recent cam
paigns he conducted nonpartislr
newspaper in the state in strone
IVA city. And when the people OF
that city, found him the square
shooter that he is, they STAYED of
all IVA attempts to establish an
other newspaper there. But he did
not edit one Of those rabbi, radi-
cal, bolshevik sheets, but instead
gave a paper to his readers which
was fair to both sides and sane
minded. His was paper which
won the esteem of both factions in
the battles of the past and today
the policy would he classed as
supporter of Ne..os for his poll
cies today are almost the same as
those that iNye espoused for years.
But aside from his business ef-
forts, Mr.. Nye has taken a great
lead in community, life. He has
the united support tof all folks Of
his county, and the entire esteem
as we'll. They know him to be opel,
honest, above board, in fact, they
know that as a. Congressman he
will represent his state and district
as few ever have in the past
Watch Nye's campaign, voters of
the second district.
The above is from the Tower
City Topics. and If we didn't know
that George J. Heinze was sup
posed to be the editor of that pa
per, we would say that it sounds
like the ,evaporings of one William
LANCER. However we have heard
of this great surprise ,in political
circles for some time and have
been waiting for it to be sprung.
We have no fight to make on Ger
aid P. Nye, but we do want to say
that We cannot see any remote
possibility of the voters of the sec
ond congressional district sending
him to congress in the place Of
George NJ Young. The present
congressman has attained posi-
ton in congress where he Is get
ting to be of real service to the
people of the state and in addition
to that is doing all That any hu-
man being can do to give service
to the people of the right sort
Mr.. Nye may be the unanimous
choice of the league members OF
the second district and all that
but We very much doubt it, but If
should b. when the votes ara
counted he will still be short sew
eral Thousand of having enough to
defeat Congressman Young. We
Go no twant to go into any details
of the newspaper situation al
Cooperstown, but We could write
quite story OF conditions there
were We so disposed, but We will
let that rest. For some time now
Heinze or some one else furnishing
the motive power for his vaporings
have been seeing things, and We
suggest that he or they. or who
ever it is, go and get some req
medical attention before they ge
too serious a case of brain storm
