^lieves in Taking Plenty of Time to '^Decide Important Qus*tons Wi»e. jy—Will Join Neither the Wilton Party Nop the Nv/v Progreasive Party. Minot, N. D., Aug. 14, 1912. ir. George .T. Smith, Plaza, N. D. Dear Sir: iMy attention has been ailed to a recent issue of one ot ,our papers, wherein you request me to answer certain questions, for the information of your readers, as you lege. While it is still early in the cam paign and the issues as yet too vague and undefined to permit of the close comparisons and the accurate politi cal thinking that would enable a man to decide wisely between the con tending candidates for the presiden cy, yet I can see no reason why I should not answer some of your questions now and then answer the remainder as soon as the various candidates for president and vice president, by interviews and speech es have so far definied their position •mm 'V\ HIS POLITICAL STAND I THIS BANK FURNISHES ALL NECESSARY SUPPLIES FOR YOUR CHECK ACCOUNT.

D., is in on the great questions of the day, that we will have something more definite to guide us than the strad dles and equivocations of a political platform. I have been a progressive repub lican for many years and worked loy ally for LaFollettie in the recent presidential primaries. 1 believe that it would ultimately have been for the 'best interests of the progres sive cause, for the progressives to have accielpted the defeat at the re publican convention in Chicago with out bolting, even though that defeai was accomplished by Taft and chic anery, and then in two and tour years from now to have come back and wiped out the disgrace of rhat. convention by forever eliminating the reactionaries from control in the re publican party and so make that the real progressive party in the United Slates. But the separation has come. The new party has been organized. Their platform has beiem issued and bears all the earmarks of true republican. IX TOWNS IN BOTTINEAU COUNTY, N.

PAUL, MINN., ism, declaring for just such doctrines as the rank and file of the republic an party has held for the past six years a more republican platform than the one promulgated by the re actionaries at the rep.iblic.vri couven lion at Chicago. If a progressive republican were to rltcide hastily therefore he would be J'ke'y to join the new party as the only one really coni'uV.tert to repub lican doctrines, but by waiting for the interviews and speeches through which the different candidates inter pret the platform and define theii position on the great questions of the day, thTs attltudje may change ana the voter may discover that the re publican party is still republican in more than name and that it still holds to the Isame fundamental proposition that the republican party was created and is maintained, not for the purpose of making a few men rich, but to help make all men free. It may give the voter a chancy to discover whether the progressive par ly is really a new party, or only the real ifepulblican party with a new name. I am still a republican. I owe no allegiance to any other political par ty. I do not. intend to join the Wil son party as you call it. Neither do I intend to join the new progressive party. My present intention is to re. main a progressive republican, fight ing the people's battles whenever tho opportunity presents itself. But the fact that I am a republic an does not necessarily m»an that am going to vote for every nominee on the republican ticket. The fact that a man is the nominee of my par ty is one of the many factors that shall consider in determining wneti. er 1 am going to vote for ihe man. it would be a very great i,uasure co me to iind that .vach nominations jiati Leen made that could consci entiously ana consistently vote tor eveiy nominee on the republican t1 ket, but sad experience baa taught me that such is hardly ever the case. Honest, faithiul and efficient service is what the people demand and it their own nominee does not give promise of that, no party line will 6top an intelligent citizenship from getting it. You do me the honor to predict my election as state's attorney of Wara county this fall. Therein I believe you are correct. The fact that I am the nominee of the majority party will undoubtedly help. But the as surances I have had during the pasi few weeks from prominent members of both the other parties, that I may rely not only on getting their vote, but on their earnest support as weli, leads me to believe that my platforn, meets with the approval of the tax payers of the county regardless ci pjfrty and that many outside of 0wn party will join in giving me tiit effiance to prove that I both will ana Cm serve the people of the county estly, faithfully and well. I ely hope that all the republicans 1 feel that my election will serve best interests of the people and ttyat I may count on their united sup port. Very truly yours, R. A. NESTOS, LOGAN. On Tuesday, August (itta, as the dawn of a fair summer's morn drew ntgh, the soul of a lovely being scarcely formed or moulded a rose bud with all its sweetest loaves un folded was plucked by angel's touch to bloom in realms above. Mr. aud Mrs. Ed Woods of Norwich mourn the loss of their infant daughter, Marian Hetty, who was taken sud denly ill, and despite ail that loving hands and medical skill could accom plish passed to her Spirit home be yond the skies.

Many a time he hath danced thee on his knee, Sinfc thee to sleep, his loving breasf thy pillow, Many a matter hath he told to thee. Meeting and agreeing with thy in fancy. Time that devours all things, dis closes all things and we may find comfort in the thought that while earth mistily fades Uke a cloud against the sunset line, at last oui paths approach, and suddenly one HalvorL. Halvorson The new Eicctric Grill space shall hold us both. The funeral took place from the residence of Mr. Reece Dickie of Norwich and an impressive yet con soling address was delivered by the Rev. W. Hall. The musical portion of the service was sweetly rendered by Miss Hazel Gibson, Mrs. Middle ton, .Miss Grace Middetcn, Mis3 Maibel Miller, and Mr. Sanford Tim anson and Mr. Krinkle. The resting place of the little one was lined tastefully with most lovely flowers and the church could scarcely accom modate the many who were desirous of paying a last respect to a child whose absence all Norwich will keen, ly feel. To the casual observer, denied the time necessary for more than super ficial view Logan Is but a little burg, differing in no wise from many such little burgs which punctuate the chassy and serve as arteries In some great railroad system.

But the wondrous fertility of her fields, bur dened as they appear today with a truly bounteous harvest, creates the need, of a ready market and good transportation. And it is in this re spect that Logan stands pre-eminent. Good roads so essential, lead from cach compass point direct to Logan, the hills and coulees which add to the cost of hauling to either the Magic City or 'our eastern neighbor, giving place to level roads for tha condition of wh-'eh an enterprising elevator manager is in a measure re sponsible. From the hills southeast or southwest. Logsn is reached by easy roads and this advantage alone. the belief that the little berg of today is to be the town of torn or* row. Elevator managers share, as a rule, with local correspondents any spare knocks the community ha* to bestow upon home boosters. But there are exceptions and a notable in. stan is to be found in the genial H. C. Kwchenibecker, who for sev eral years has reigned supeme at th? local elevator. Possessing, prema turely, a thorough knowledge of ill that appertains to the position, cou pled with an energetic, tactful and obliging disposition and as a pracii cal farmer, blessed with a mania for PIONEER GAS ENGINES a square d,eal for the producer, amounting almost to a religion. .Small wonder that such a man, has Leen requested, cajoled, bribed by en. terprising Logan to give of his serv ices in the upbuilding of the town, Ccod roads have brought some grain* but truth .to tell the market price, grade and weight at Logan have been just that much more advantageous to the farmer, as to treble the amount of grain hauled diuring the present management, despite poor years Lo* can owes much to the restless, untir ing efforts of the uhiquitious Kuch enbecker, and if you know not Logan but the man, gel acquainted with our town and your best interests.
