He is a man who is well known to all of the people of the county, having been here since the big immigration of 1901. He has been successful as an attor ney, is trusted by his friends and clients and is well known to be active in enforcement of the law. The people of Ward county are ask ed to support him, in this election, for the reason that, of all the candidates for the place, he is the best. He is not only the home candidate, but is the best fitted for the position, not only in experience and success in the prac tice of his profession, but because he stands for the principles which the great majority of people demand: strict law enforcement and impartial effort to build up a bigger, better and cleaner state. Pol. Advt. G. S. WOOLEDGE STATE'S ATTORNEY. My platform provides for law en forcement. Will reduce expenses: How? No iissistant State's* Attorney. No special prosecutors. No private practice at County's expense. Why not adopt this plan now? Read my platform in another column of this paper. —Pol. advt. G. S. WOOLEDGE, For State's Attorney. G. S. Wooledge, Democratic candi date for State's Attorney, has been engaged in the active practice of law in this judicial district for the past nine years. He is one of the best law yers in Northwestern North Dakota. Mr. Wooledge was a candidate for County Judge in 1910 and was defeat ed by Judge Davis by a bare hundred votes. He is a graduate of the Univer sity of Wisconsin is thirty-four years of age is married lives in Minot and formerly lived in Kenmare. Mr. Wool edge has always been independent and progressive in politics, and his plan of conducting the office of state's attor ney means a large saving to the tax payers. Read his platform and then investigate the facts he has stated. Mr. Wooledge's platform is as follows: "To the voters of Ward county: I am a candidate for state's attorney. If you will make an honest and fair investigation of the work of this of fice, you will agree with me that the office of state's attorney can be effic iently conducted on the plan here stated. If elected I shall carry out every promise and statement herein made, namely: "I shall impartially enforce all laws. I shall save the taxpayers a lot of un necessary expense which should have been stopped long before this, some of which is as follows: "The couty should not furnish special prosecutors. If the state's at torney is incompetent, and needs assis tance, he should pay the special pros ecutor out of his own salary, because the county has paid him to handle all county business. Furthermore, the duties of state's attorney of Ward county have decreas ed at least one-half during the past few years, owing to the county divis ion and the fact that the county is no longer anew settlement. A competent state's attorney—that is, ftn attorney of average ability, but who likes to work—does not need an assistant state's attorney in this county. While the statute permits the appointment of an assistant state's attorney, the stat ute is not mandatory, and I should not ask the county commissioners to em ploy an assistant state's attorney. I can handle all the duties of this office efficiently without an assistant state's attorney, and can still have some time left for the private practice of law. "Again, the county should not em-| ploy stenographers and pay office rent,! and furnish supplies, light, telephone,! etc., for a states attorney to engage in the private practice of law. If tne state's attorney has the time and does engage in private practice, he should pay a just proportion of the stenogra pher's salary out of his earnings from this private business. He should not use county supplies, stationery and postage in his private practice, nor ask the county commissioners to buy him 'roll top desks' and office fixtures. "Lastly, the state's attorney should tak6 carc of all county business before any private business. He should stay on the job the year round and at all times lemember that he has been hir«d and paid by the taxpayers of this county to take care of the county bus iness, promptly and efficiently, and yet with as little expense as possible. "I ask you specially to investigate the above matters ana if my plan of conducting this office appears to you to be fair and reasonable, I shall do my part if you will vote for me on November 3rd and elect me to thin office. "Yours sincerely, "G. S. WOOLEDGE. "Minot, N. D., Oct. 1, 1914." N. J. ENGESETH REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE REGISTER OF DEEDS WARD COUNTY I lincorely appreciate the aup port given me bjr my frienda in the paat, and truat that you will remember me at the November election.
