Has anybody heard Hanna say
where he will deposit the staet
money if elected governor?
Alex McKenzie and the Jim Hill
interests were behind Hanna in
the state legislature and in con
gress. Do you think they have
deserted him
So long as the people have said
they want a change, make it com
plete by voting the entire Dem
ocratic ticket from top to bot
tom. "Turn about is fair play."
The Bismarck State says that
the Taft-Hanna idea of politics
and |fhe iVfoldtte idea of the
same can't jwalk on the same
side of the street.
Mr. Bryan in his Fargo ad
dresses asked the question if any
one could inform him of any
political boss of note, now boss,
ing for Taft that hadn't previous
ly bossed for Roosevelt. This
question remained unanswered,
because as a matter of fact the
present Taft bosses are the prev
ious Roosevelt bosses.
There are four Franks on the
Democratic ticket this year, and
they are a tandem team to be
proud of. They are Frank Hell
strom, Frank Brandt, Frank
Lish and Frank Shanley. For all
around ability and sturdy man
hood they will hold their own a
gainst any similar team the
world over. Don' forget to vote
for them on election day.

TAFT HEADQUARTERS
Political headquarters in the
interest, exclusively, of President
Taft have been opened in the
Merchants hotel in this city by
Senator (McCumber and his sec
retary, Mr. Farrar. The Republi
can state committee repudiated
Taft on the ground of fraud in
his nomination and the county
committee did practically the
the same thing.... Therefore, un
less Taft were to be left out'en

McCuri¥b$r^Shd his clerk came to

At the primary Taft'received
less than one vote in fifty that
were cast. That just about e
qualed the federal office holders
and theft immediate friends. It
is thoughtthat with the energet

and his secretary Taft will prob
ably be as able to do as well as
he did^t the primary.
0. E. WOLFE'S OANDIDAOY
C. E.' Wolfe of Wahpeton is
making an active canvass of the
Fourth Judicial district for the
position of district judge. Mr.
Wolfe is one of the prominent
attorney of the -state, and it is
'generair£niconceded that he is
well equipped by training and ex
perience for the position which
he aspires. He expects to carry
his own county, Richland county
by a large majority,. and also
Mcintosh county. He will have
some opposition in Sargent coun
ty, because of the famous county
fee cases which he was employ
ed -by t-he county commissioners
tojiandle list year. It will"'be
femefflbered Mr. Wolfe obtain
ed a judgment in several cases,
and all the cases are now pend
ing action by the supreme court.
Mr. Wolfe, however, was simply
doing his duty by his client,
namely, Sargent county, in said
cases in district court, and we
find many taxpayers willing to
give him credit for good work.
The fact is, Mr. Wolfe has been
employed many times in the past
to push county cases, and has
always performed his duty with
zeal, discretion and ability^—
Forman Independent News.
CHASf E. WOLPE FOR
DISTRICT JUDGE
There still seems to be some
confusion in the puulic mind in
regard to the election of district
judge. Some of the voters are
still under the impression that
that the candidates for district
judge will run as pary condidaes
•that is, as eoither Republican
or Democratic. This, as we have
already tried to explain, is a mis.
take. Under the new law, for the
election of judges the candidates
do not run and are not permitted
to run either as Republicans or
Democrats. The names of the
candidates are printed on a sep
arate ballot, and are printed with
out any party designation. This
law was enacted for the purpose
of taking the judgeship entirely
out of party politics.
In this district there are two
candidates for disjtrict judge—
Charles E. Wolfe of this city and
Frank P. Allen of Ransom coun.
ty. In politics both of these men
are Republicans. There is no
candidate- for district judge in
this district who is a Democrat.
Necessarily, therefore, either Mr.
Wolfe or Mr. Allen will be elec
ted, and, from a purely paijty
standpoint, there is no reason
why any Democrat should vote
for Mr. Allen rather than Mr.
Wolfe. Mr. Allen is just as
strong a Republican as Mr.
Wolfe ever was, and just as ac
tive on behalf of his party.
Therefore, the Democrats of the
county will not in any way aid
their party by voting for Mr. Al
len.
As stated in the beginning, the
office of judge has been taken
entirely out of politics, and the
oidf ^UMtion 'that th«
to oonaidervJs-itaqualiQoations
of the candidates to flit taexpf
flce. Mr.-Wolfe has been ln.the
active practice.Voir. the Uifj^or
nearly thirty years he is one
of-the ablest lawyers in the *.tate
and has had a wide and varied
experience in the trial of impor
tant cases, and, if elected,, will
make one of the best Judges in
the state. The voter« o/Jfliiqb
land oounty should stan4.i)jr Mr.
Wolfe to a man, without and re
gard to party considerations.

LIQUOR QUESTION AT MHOR
The city council, of Breckeit
ridge is experiencing some trovib
le in furnishing the proprietors
•of jthe. new hotel at that place
with a liquor license. The Ga
zette of that city says:
"Our city oouncil seems to
have gotten into, a saloon license
tangle that they may find diffi
culty in straightening out. At
the last meeting of the board a
license was granted to T. Grav
elle in the new hotel building and
now the mayor states that he
will not sign it. The grantee
says he is ready to take the li
cense according to the applica
tion and pay in his $1,000 at any
time. As it now stands we are
informed that the city cannot
allow another license as the lim
it, by law, has been reached, and
if this difficulty cannot be patch,
ed up the city will be out about
$980 of its revenue, which was
taken into consideration when the
tax levy was authorized for its
running expenses during the en
suing year."
8. 8. 8. VS. VALLEY OITY
The football game last Satur
day afternoon between the Val
ley City team and the local S. S.
S. eleven was a very much one
sided affair, the visitors being
outclassed at every stage of the
game. Our boys played some ex
cellent football and it goes with
out saying that before the seas
on closes Coach Ward will have
some team. The final score was
30 and-nothing.
TO THE VOTERS:
Two weeks ago I told you gener
ally through the press why I de4
.Sired to be elected to the legis
lature. Now I am going to tell
you a few reasons why the peo
ple of the district and. the coun
ty as a whole should desire it.
In the conduct of a law busi
ness extending into every part
pf the state I have been brought
in contact with the people of all
sections and I think few men in
private life have a larger circle
acquaintances. During almost
he entire session four years ago
was in Bismarck conducting the
legislative investigation into the
(ftiarges of' mismanagement of
|l® penitentiary. During most
of the session of two years ago
I was there c&nducting the Cow
an impeachment proceedings. In
this extended experience I have
become acquainted with every
public man in the state and will
enter the legislature knowing
personally and well more than
two-thirds of the members. I
assert that this acquaintance
will give me an influence and a
standing in legislative proceed
ings that could no^ possibly be
possessed without it. «Neither of
the old members from this dis
trict are candidates for re-elec
tion, hence, whoever is eleoted
must enter upon his duties un.
"experienced and without the ad
vantage of legislative acquain
tances acquired in a former term,
possess that advantage to start
with from my other experience.
Because of my extended ac
quaintance I have received al.
ready many flattering invitations
to become a candidate for speak
er of the house and have receiv
ed voluntary offers of support
to such an. extent, that to say the
least I could, if elected, become
such candidate with good prom
ises of success. This part of the
state has never been honored by
'having one of its members elec
ted to the speakership. It is a
position of considerable honor

Men Have their preferences
mong lawyers as among othiir
men to serve them and some mett

I sincerely believe there is noi'
a man in Richland oounty wh&
would hesitate to entrust m^
with the conduct of important
law business if his regular at

there is no man in the county
who would question but that 1
would faithfully represent him
as an attorney to the best of my
ability.
I now offer myself for em*,

district with the belief that such
employment calls for the same
fidelity and faithfulnes.s to
interests of my employer ,asi
would be called for by an indiU

of any one of you.

ple the same endeavor to serve
their best interests that I would
make to serve any one of thj&i
if retained to serve him in tfie
capacity of a lawyer. I may not

every one on every thing. I dp
not always agree with my clients
as to what is best for them in
a law suit. I sometimes insist
they should settle when they
want to fight and sometimes in
they want to settle. In the end
they haye to trust to my judg^
