Be sure ami make an for
Judge B. Spaulding for judge
of the supreme court.
Gov. Burke., former governor
of N. D. now U. S. treasurer, atl
tlie rally at Bismarck on the
26tJh, endorsed the. eandidacy^o
Judge Spaulding and urged thei
votea's1 to support him. This,
shows how popular the chief jus-s
tice is with everyone. The State
Bar. Association lias. endorsed,
him and the attorneys in each,
county are for him.
It seems that some of the peo
pie at Garrison cannot1 see Mc
Lean county divided on straight
lines, they can only see a diva-,
ston in the bootleg fashion. Theyj
are the fathers in all the county
division moves. No one in tihu
southern part of the country)
have ever cared about division
After being at' it for six months*
and having failed to carry theiij
bootleg proposition through,
tbey are now hard against IIan-(
na county.
When the people of Hanna
county sent,out their petition,
over three hundred who had
signed' the Nelson—Robinson pro
position withdrew their names.
This left the petition with some
over two hundred signers, which
was -the reason they were unable
to file their petition. To those
who signed this petition, Nelson
gave out more promises for posi
tions than would be enough to
fill complete offices in a dozen
counties. These men who reviv
ed the promises are the only
ones who are now opposed to-the
Banna county proposition.
Jv N 'l
mi-
Ml'..'
Evirv paper in the. county is
for county division but one re
cently resurrected from the de
funct list.—Dogden News.
In reference to state and coun-j
ty politics, the battle was fought^
in the June primaries. All that|
remains' is to mark a cross above,
the party ticket1 and let it go at
that.
The Hanna county petition
had 667 signers, all except 7
who lived in that part of the
county signed, which shows how
well it took with the people. The
Nelson—Robinson ibootleg propo
sition was left with about 200
signers. This shows when a
square proposition is put up be
'fore the people it 's endorsed.
From all reports coming in it
looks like the Hanna proposi
tion will carry 3 to 1.
J. E. Nelson, who is scattering
dope over the county trying to
defeat the Hanna county proposi
tion, is no tax payer of the coun
ty. He is simply out for the
revenue there is in it. He has no
interests in the county what
ever. The people ought to be
well posted in the division propo
sition as it has been before them
for the last ten years. They
ought now to put an end to it
by making a cross opposite
"YES" and stop the trouble amdj
let the people live in peace.
A report come® from Garrison
that J. E. Nelson wiil taike 'full,
charge of the Garrison Independ-*
ent this week and cover the en
tire county with his dope. The
readers should look over two ar-.
ticks in this week's isstue copied
from the Independent and see.
how strong they were for coun-v
ty division and then compare ki
with this week's issue of the.
Independent,. We feel sum
then that' you will' go to the
polls and make a cross for Han
na county.
Garrison is getting an awful
hustle on to defeat county divis
ion since, the supreme court has
kaiocked their main prop from,
under them. They were serenely
depending on the Enabling Act
to separate the reservation from
McLean and all other counties^
when, lo, behold, the supreme
court decides the reservation
belongs to the respective coun
ties in which it is located. Ii
is said the people of Garrison
are. so busy on the reservation
bucking county division that you
can play cards on their coat
tails.—Dogden News
We are again face to face with
a couaity division proposition..
It is now ten years since this
agitation was first started and
in some form or other it has
ibeen continuous. In the past
wei have been inclined to oppose
the final division of the county
for the reason that the lines
proposed have been such that
some section or other would be
isolated and in proposing bound
aries the question of the location
of some town which had county
seat aspirations has governed in
place of the wishes of the peo
ple which are to be affected by
the division. As a result every
proposition heretofore propose
has met with vigorous opposi
tion and consequent defeat, in
the Hanna county proposition,
however, which is now up for
the consideration of the voters
the general sentiment is entirely
different. Judging from the
tone of the county press and
from conversations that we hav
had with people from different
parts1 of the county the senti
ment for the creation of Hanna
County is practically unani
mous and we predict that the
proposition will receive a good
round majority of the popular
vlote. By consulting ths issue of
the Leader a fair idea can be
gained as to what the feeling is
in various parts of the county.
We want our readers to have
the right idea of the proposition,
so we have copied liberally from

It Does Not cost any more—Use the BEST FLOUR. "EQUITY"—Washburn Milling Co.
the county press. Im our estima
tion the Hanna County proposi
tion is the very best that has
been offered the people. It ap
peals to us as fair in division
of the territory in the present
county of McLean and geogra
phically nothing more reasonable
or fair could not well be pro
posed. The territory, is. pra
ctically equally divided and the
shape of the old county will be
compact and accessible from all
quarters. The Hanna County
creation meets with the approval
of the
in the north end of
the county and it is generality
accepted that some town on thai
Soo running east and west will
be selected as the county seat
and whatever town this may
eventually prove to be it can be
easily reached from all parts
of the county by ra.il:. The coun
ty division proposed in the llama
County proposition appeal® to
us from all viewpoints as fair
and reayonab and we feel war
ranted in recommending it to
our readers as the right thing to
vote for. We feel that the time
for county division is opportune
and we feel that the Hanna
County proposition comes as
near meeting the requirements as
any proposition that can be pro
posed. We believe the voters
will do well to make final dis
position of county division Nov
ember 3rd and the way to- do
this is to vote YES on the pro
position to create Hanna Coun
ty.
They Asked For Meeting
As you remember some time,
ago thei people of Garrison tele-)
phoned Wlashburn they were
coming down to see about maki
ittg a proposition on county di
vision. This meeting was held/
as was stated in 'former papers,v
in the Haugeberg building with
several Washburn citizen, preen
ent. At that meeting, amongst
other things that were said, H:
F. O'Hare statled that the only)
object they had in getting coun
ty division was to get Giarrison(
as tllie county seat. The same,
statement was also made by two
other gentlemen from Garrison,
and we were again made to uny
derstand that that was the only
object they had for county dii-\
vision. At the same meeting)
they offered us ten townships^,
two rows that lay east of Max,*
if the Washburn people would,
go in. with tihem on county di-j
vision. They were willing to
sacrifice anything to help, defeat.,
the Hanna proposition. This wast
Hhe last place they viiisited audi
offered this proposition. They
were in. other places and made,
other propositions.
J. E. Nelson seems to be the,
moving spirit in the Garrison
delegation.
Now we see- by the resolution,i
said to be introduced in Btene-1
diet, that they claim tfce Maxi
people have sold out to McLean
county for the sole purpose of.
getting Iianna county and niak-y
ing Max thet county seat.
The people who- have followed
the county division know the
Glarrison people have tried tei
siell out everything in order to
get the county seat. Now they
are out howling about trading
and all kinds of tricks'. Thq
people, over the county are well
aware that the people who are
behind Hanna county have made*
no trade of any kind. They,
havle put up county' division on
a square deal of man to man.
and from all reports they will
find that all the people wiill en-t
dorse the only square deal on
county division that has eiver)
been, put up.
Glarrison people have no one.
to blame but themselves. Of allt
the propositions they havei puti
up one at least could have been
a square deal. In all the ex-,
periences they hava had in.
county division and all the ex
penses they have caused in thei
bootleg proposition^ it seems th
us that they could come out in.
the open like the people of Han
na have done and then there*
would be no trouble whatever.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
We, the members of the State Cevi
tral Committee, representing the Rar
publican party, in meeting assembled,
reaffirm our belief in, and oar loyaltj
to, the principles of the Republic®!
party as laid down by its founders, an4
exemplified by Its great leaders.
I. We affirm our loyalty to the Re
publican principles of protection and
believe that the tariff should be so r»
vised as to reduce the increasing cosl
of living, and at the same time pro.
tect more equitably our agricultural in.
terests that the tariff should be re
vised upon the principle that the du.
ties shall represent the actual differ
ence between the cost of production ia
the United States and in foreign com.
peting countries. We also recommend
and urge that tariff revision in the to
ture shall be by separate schedules.
We favor the creation of a perm&
sent non-partisan Tariff Commissios
with ample powers and charged with
the duty of investigating the cost of
production, both at home and abroad,
and whose findings shall be made di
rect to Congress.
We charge the national Democratic
administration witfc bad faith in th«
enactment of the present tariff law.
That tariff has flooded our market*
with the products of foreign factoriei
and farms, while the serious question
of advancing cost of living still re.
mains unsettled and unanswered.
II. We condemn the present nation,
al Democratic congress for its wasteful
extravagance of public funds.
III. We favor such national and
state legislation as will develop a mod
ern system of farm credits^
IV. We believe that the disastrous
effects of Democratic misrule upon ths
Industries of this nation have convinc
ed our people of the folly of party dis
sension, and that all electors who have
In the past affiliated with the party
should now unite in a determination
to relieve the country from Democratic
mlsgovernment. Experience convinces
ns that it is only by means of the rule
of the Republican party that industrial
prosperity can be restored and main* Waydeman of Ana moose were

VI We heartily endorse Governor places in the county.
L. B. Hanna, and we commend the,
present Republican state administra
tion as an honest, efficient, and eco
nomical administration of the public
affairs of this state.
We pledge our support to the Repub-.
lican state and congressional tickets
nominated by the people at the Junq'
primaries.
VII. The primary election law being

In the political affairs of the state, w# 'J P^P1t of the Method-llt
pledge ourselves to the maintenance ol ist church at Turtle' Lake and
the primary principle, and favor only jn the evening gave a sacred
such modification of the law as wisdom
reading
aud practical experience clearly dem-,
onstrate will serve to strengthen and!,
IX. Good roads are of the greatest votes for the cause
possible importance to the proper de
velopment of our state. The extent
and excellence of good roads is the
measure of wise economy in the ex
penditure of state funds. We endorse
and urge prompt legislation of this
character.
X. A growing and grave necessity
of our state is the pressing need of
getting more people to settle and build
homes upon our rich, extensive vacant
lands. We therefore urge the next!
legislative assembly to pass such lawaj
as will intelligently and speedily ao^
complish this much desired, far-reach*
Ing and important purpose^
XI. We believe that the time has
arrived when a certain limited portion
of our school, institution and capitol
building lands should be sold annually
for the express purpose of creating a
farm loan fund, thus affording a safe
and ready means of investing these
trust funds, and giving our farmers a
longer loan-time period at low rates
of Interest.
XIL North Dakota is, and always
will be, an agricultural state. We are
therefore in hearty sympathy with ev
ery movement that has for its pur
pose the organization and co-operation
of the farmers within our common
wealth. We pledge them our hearty
and earnest support in securing such
helpful legislation, both state and na
tional, as will secure for them Just
compensation for the products of their
Ldll.
XIII. We favor legislation reducing
the maximum contract rate of interest
from 12 per cent to not to exceed 10
per cent, and the legal rate of interest
from 7 per cent to 6 per cent. We
also favor a strengthening of our usury
laws with proper penalties attached.
XIV. We endorse the principle of
the tax commission as an instrument
of government
XV. The Republican party, believ
ing the people competent to settle just
ly and intelligently all questions per
taining to their collective and indi
vidual welfare, and the legislative as
sembly having given the electors the
opportunity to vote at the next general
^election upon the question of woman
suffrage, we earnestly urge upon the
attention of the electors the import
ance of this question, to the end that
the same may be intelligently settled.
XVL We earnestly favor a policy of
strict enforcement of the prohibition
lav and all other laws on our statute
books.
XVIL We believe that party pledges
Bust be redeemed and platform prem
ises fulfilled.
Believing that the ultimate reliance
at free proper government is obedience
to law and the maintenance of liberty
and justice among our people, we, as
Republicans, submit this statement of
principles and policies and ask the In
telligent consideration and Judgment
«C the people e! the state.
