Major Harden delivered one of

no answering him, in the main. We
think we never hwtrd so many
truths so effectually ham in tired into
so .small a space as -was se nn this
occasion. Every word gathered
weight as it passed awiiy and every
period of speech weighed ton
the crowded house was held spell

that two hours address, except
when it broke loose in peal after
peal of applause.^ Surely no citizen
who heard this speech ean fail to

no Dakotan except one steeped in
prejudice and blinded and being
consumed by party rancor, hiving

JUDGE OF PUOHATE
John Shippam, the independent
candidate for Judge of Probate, is
one of the most deserving young
men in liichland county, fie has
been here nearly nine years, hav
ing lirst unfortunately entereu a
low and almost worthless piece of
land, which he hanged on to for four
years, paying} taxes and trying to
meet expenses and make living
for his family, but being at last
forced to abandon it, came to town
where he has rustled about and is
to-day just about on his feet, hav
ough all these years shown
himself a willing tax payer, and
now having paid every claim ever
presented him for payment, goes
before his friends and the tax pay
ers of the county asking the cour
tesy of their suffrages in awarding
this o(fiue. It goes without saying
that no man could have passed
through what Mr. Shippam has ex
perienced and come out with so good
a record, without there having been
some bottom to him. First, a most
capable office deputy under Slier ill'
Ink second, deputy clerk ol' the dis
trict court third, established a laCl
oflice and was secretary of the Rich
land County Mutual Ilail Insurance
Company. Always discharging all
duties with Die greatest dispatch,
fidelity and satisfaction to all con
cerned. In truth no more capable
man ever held the oliice of Judge of
Probate in liichland county than
will prove Mr. Shippam. John
Shippam is a man of affairs and de
tails, methodical in all he does,
splendidly educated, writes a beau
tiful hand, has ideas and the gimp
to "gel there" with them and
on with a grip that knows
failure.

1HAX1) I'KjS vs. JJCKN'SIi.
Since the unquestioned failure of
the so-called Local Option which
carried in various counties of the
territory, it would seem that there
should be no question avout how
liichland county ought to go oil this
issue in the present canvass.
There is no possible use of an
honest man denying the fact that
up to the present time the attempt
at prohibition in the lied lliver
valley has been a dead failure.
There have positively been more
saloons doing business the past year
in these counties than under the
former
license system.
A
Not
the
few men
have been arrested and lined, but
by no means have the lines equalled
the thousands of dollars of court ex
penses which must be paid by the
people.
only this, but under
former
license system about
one-third of city revenue was
raised
by
the license feature in mu­
nicipal management bo that the
so-called Local Option lias been a
positive harm in these counties
lrom a revenue point ,1 view. And
we think it is perl'eeliy tir to pre
sume that the cost of prosecuting
liquor sellers tinder the local option
idea is many times greater than the
cost created from the sale where the
traffic is licensed and under proper
surveillance of the police. We think
there is no question about this, even
allowing that such violators wetc
always able and willing to pay lines,
which l'hey are not by a long shot.
And looking at the question from
the higher point of view, above dol
iars and cents, from tlmt moral
standpoint prohibitionists so like (o
expatiate upon and occupy-—wo (ind
that the iiliml Pig is infinitely more
dangerous to the young and to the
moderate drinker for lie feels that
he is /INL'TI from public intrusion iu
the piggery,- -and he is led on from
moderation into gambling and
other forms of corrupt'on and Vice,
It tends to make a shame-faced dis
honest man of him whom under
other circumstances—would retain
stronger lines of compunction
throughout his composition, on the
very question which so much inter
ests our prohibition friends.
Another very unfortunato feature
in this vexed question, is the fact
that the peopio who vote the thing
«:i to the towns and cities are in
the country and are not in a posi-
tion to .carry en the light in mak
ing nrrests and carrying out tthe vain
law. Any sort of a reformer
can cast a 'ballot, especially when
he lias nothing at^Btake, but it takes
a man of peculiar backbone to play
detective ami,i!isnoop around after
his fellow men,!lodging complaints
which no one will sustain him in,
all the time not only neglecting his
own business, but absolutely array
ing thiee-l'ourths of the business
community in a deadly strife agrin.-t
him,—cutting his throat at eveiy
turn That's the size of it. Or,
il an irresponsible non tax paying
and itinerant individual under
takes the job of snooper, no one cares
anything about him, and the only
outcome is. this nonentity has the
pleasure of shooting off his "bazoo,"
which neither benefits nor harms
onybodv, for he has nothing to lose
In short, Local Option by coun
ties is so obviously at variance with
good sense, and so obviously a dead
failure where tried, it would seem a
waste of time to discuss it, for sure
ly no considerable portion of our
people will vote for it with any idea
that it will be a moral benefit—or a
benefit in any other direction. It
is worse than a rank farce

The canvass goes bravely on, and
the Democrats are making it lively
tor their oppnents. Freeman .Or
cutt for sheriff is on the war path,
and together with his long acquain
tance and upright record in the
county is renewing old friendships
and making new ones and if not
elected will poll a big vote if lie is
elected will make one of the most
acceptable officers the county has
ever had in this position.
A. E. Sunderhauf, though an in
dependent candidate for auditor, is
stirring around among the boys,
and will undoubtedly be elected by
a handsome majority. Some oppo
nents talk about Sunderhauf run
ning the board and all that sort of
thing whereas, he does no more
than his duty, which does not in
clude "running the board"—he cer
tainly does not attempt such a thing
as that. Hut there is this much
about Sunderhauf, no man can ask
him a question on ordinary matters,
but that lie will at once furnish a
pointed answer, and this is paitrcu
larly true with reference to duties
{.'onnected with county matters,
and it is really fortunate for tl^e
county to have so active and well
posted a man in the auditor's office
as Mr. Sunderhauf has proven him
self to be. No man should be de
feated simply because he is a good
official and well informed. That's
why he should and will he elected
S. II. Snyder for district attorney
is making an aggressive canvass,
and iuJJy expects to he elected. As
we have said, Mr. Snyder has made
a very careful and judicious pro
secuting attorney the past term, and
if the voters again favor him with
this position, it goes without saying
that the duties of the office will be
well looked after.
W. J. VanDerveer for county
treasurer, goes right on looking
alter his banking business, but says
he'll get there just the same. Van
can furnish dead loads of bonds if
elected and he would take pride in
pushing the duties of the office.
J. A. Uickert ot Lidgerwood for
register of deeds, has hosts of friends
down in that section of the country,
whiph speaks fot him.
And Messrs. II. li, Crandall in
the First district, Frank Bauer in
the Second district and Fritz Wes
sej in the Third district should lie
elected for commissioners.
