EIMONS CfOHTT IBGMD BV D. t. LiuUm, Ifmrth Dmkmtm, PIONEER PAPtK Of THE COVHTT. The Record la eateted at the UMM foet offlce —rtr A FEW "ADVOCATE" SPASMS. Below we gin a series of literary spasms thrown by tbe Advocate man last week. It will be raaenbered that tbls same Advocate man is tbe geqtleman that bas heretofore kept absolutely quiet ffhlle tbe otber news papers of the county were informing the people of tbe county that tbe board of county commissioners were running tbe affairs of tbe county with out any regard whatever for the law of the state, whenever such law came in conflict with their "own sweet will." We call particular attention to tbe artistic grammar and beautiful diction at the Advocate article. The rotten dope which Is being hashed and rehashed in some of the weekly and fortnightly periodicals of this county (at the instigation of the Czar of Emmons who has to let loose 'about so often) in their endeavors to try to besmirch the characters of our county commissioners—A BODY OF MEN THAT WOULD DO MUCH HONOR TO ANY COMMUNITY, has about as much weight with the peo ple, we believe, as a snow ball in Talk about a grand jury investiga tion, bring it on—no danger, they are merely wasting their wind on tbe des ert air. However, w^at could the average grand jury accomplish? LET'S HIRE SOMb EXPERT AC COUNTANT and have things inves tigated properly, because If there has been any crooked work we would all like to know about it, and while the leaning up is going on, let's make it general and thorough. Talk about law enforcement, it is truly amusing and at the same time disgusting. Our esteemed contemporary and his col leagues could find plenty of good material on this subject to write about, but no that would not do, they would be stepping on the toes of their most ardent supporters. While they are taking so much Inter est in the taxpayers' welfare, why don't they expose some of the real rottenness and doings that has been going on, and at the same time see that their own nose Is kept clean. The big hullabaloo being made In this county over nothing, Is certainly a disgrace and th|e people should not stand for such rot. The first real cause of all this dope being printed is due to the fact that the commis sioners are men with minds of their own and cannot be handled by the gang, and the next moat important reason is BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO CONSERVATIVE AND ARE LOOKING TOO MUCH TO THE IN TEREST OF THE TAXPAYERS OF EMMONS COUNTY. LITTLE DO THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS COUN TY REALIZE WHAT A CONSER VATIVE BODY OF COMMISSION ERS THEY HAVE, and we would like to see every taxpayer Investi gate for himself, in place of listen ing to the whimperings of a dyed-ln the-wool gang politician. People in vestigate for yourselves and put a quietus to this disgraceful tommyrot continually thrown upon you by this character defamer of a state wide re putation. In a recent issue he cornea out like a regular "sissy" and condemns the board for giving the Advocate the work of printing the election ballots. Now wasn't that awful? He also goes on to state tliait it was necessary for him to siend $100 several years ago to se cure enough extra material for the printing or these ballots. It seems so strange why some people will use such exorbitant figures, wben fflndr smaller ones would answer the pur pose much better. We have more than enough material to print the big ballots and it cost us between 930 to $40. Thus the people are deceived and he is pulling the wool over your eyes in the same manner, with re ference to other matters as with this, continually. IF THERE IS ANY PLACE IN HELL FOR LIAR8 STREETER WILL SURELY BE CHIEF OF THAT DEPARTMENT. —[Advocate. The editor of the Record made di reel and positive aaaertionsas to where tbe law was violated. We charged, and we still charge—that bridges were illegally built. Tbat they were illegally paid foi That while we have not charged tbat either of the commisioners was "boodled" by the Hennepin Bridge Company, we have asserted—and now avert—that were there dishonest men on tbe board they could have, in col lusion with the Minneapolis trust concern. turned a pretty penny by let ting contracts without submitting competitive bids. We have stated that there are many complaints as to the building of a road grade west of Hazelton—a grade cost ing with its culverts something like three tliousand, seven hundred dollars. And we have lately been informed that there is no bill for this work on file containing the statutory affidavit of tbe man who did the work as to Us being a just bill and tbat the work was honestly performed. If we have been wrongly informed, the Record would be only too glad to correct it if any county officer knowing the facts will show us in tbe columns of tbe Record wherein we have been misin formed. Ample space iu the Record Is at the command of any county officer or any one else who can throw light on the mystery connected with the building of tbe costly grade west of Hazelton. All the Record or tbe pub lic wants to know is the trutb regard ing this and other public transactions by tbe county officers. We have stated that there is abso lutely no law authorizing tbe with holding of ^commissioner's resignation for months, until after an election had been held, so tbat an alleged "appoint ment" could be made of a man as com missioner simply because he was in full accord with the members of the board, tbe treasurer and their field agent, tbe clerk of court, and could be depended on to indorse everything tbat tbey bad done or might d. We claimed that it was not right for a man to actually reside for months in Linton, as Mr. Sherwood lias done, and, knowing (hat he would leave his old home for permanent residence elsewhere, neglect to present his resig nation in time to allow the people of bis district to chouse his successor at tbe last general election. It is such things as these—such feverish anxiety to keep the choice of commissioners from the electors and fiill tbe same by appointment—that leads the people to think that there may be very grave reasons for believ Ing that there are other things be sides illegal bridge-building and road making that need investigation. in his circular before the rettular election Treasurer ilerolz iterated and reiterated, "Streeter lies!" "Streeter lies!" In tbe article given above, the Advocate editor yells, "Streeter lies!" "Streeter lies!" But neither of tliem gives particulars wherein he lies. It is eaay to shout "Czar!" and "Liar! But thatdoes does not prove anytbing, and It certainly does not refute the assertions made by tbe Record as to the illegal acts of the commissioners. "The ass knoweth its master's crib" is an old saying. But in this instance VOTE FOR WILLIAM P. TUTTLE KIDDER COUNTY'S CHOICE The Man Who Carried His Own Precinct, Storeys Precinct, and the County of Kidder, at the Recent Election. lection December 28 NEXT MONDAY it seema that tbe animal took a time about finding It. Several asontbs bare passed since tbe three other county newspapers began to call at tention to tbe fact tbat the oounty board'were running things at a pretty lively gait in doing the bmlaws of tbe oounty. But In all that time, up to last week, tbe Advocate nan bad not succeeded io accumulating sufficient nerve, or gall, or whatever it may be, to attempt to defend the hoard la ita clear violation of lav. It is probable that the near approach of the date for appointing official newspapers for the county has caused the asa to appre ciate tbe fact tbat Its masters* crib la full of patronage in tbe way of official corn. And Isn't It a tea siaio of affairs wben violations of the law in the oon duct of oounty business havebeoome so much a habit that a oounty newspaper attempts to create a prejudice against those oounty officers who have Insisted tbat tbey have no right to disobey the plain letter of the law in the matter of holding the special election? Tbe Advocate howls dolefully regarding the natter of aipense, and claims tbat the holding of the election should bave been "prevented." But our esteemed economical friend of tbe Advocate failed to throw a fit or fits as to "expense" wben tbe commission ers were illegally building expensive bridges and paying at one meeting more than a bridge company bad asked for practically the sasse work at a previous meeting. Tbe trouble Is that there baa been too much Ignoring of tbe law in the conduct of county busi ness but we hardly believe that the people of tbe county would indorse tbe application of bridge-building methods to tbe holding of elections. Tbe law says: Wben a tie shall exist between two or more persons for tbe senate or bouse of representatives, the county auditor tkall give notice to tbe sheriff of tbe county, who 'hall immediately advertise another election, giving at least ten days' notice." Thatlsall there is to tbe law. Itglvea the officers no option in the matter. It doesn't say that they "may," or tbatthqy are "athorlsed if they think proper," "to call another election," but that they "thall call another elec tion." As an article from the Steele Herald says"— On Mbndmy, December 28, 1908, a special election will be held in the Twenty-sixth senatorial district, and the voters of Kidder and Emmons counties will be called upon to elect member of the house of representa tives. There would seem to be consider able misunderstanding in regard to this special election. From remarks which the writer bas heard one would infer that it is merely the scheme of one political faction to plaice. an other faction, at some kind of a disad vantage. This is not tbe case, bow ever, as anyone who will take the trouble to look up the law In regard to the peculiar circumstances existing in this district can very readily deter mine. It is true that this special election will cost a considerable sum of moiey, which is to be regretted but it Is a matter quite beyond the manipulation of any political faction, and a pro ceeding for which the legal talent of the district has been unable to find any legal alternative. The state of Xorth Dakota -has a code of laws for the government and guidance of its people—its officials as well as its private citizens—and a part of one of the sections of that code reads as follows: "When a tie shall exist between two or more persons for the sen ate or house of representatives, the county auditor shall give no tice to tbe sheriff of the oounty, who shall immediately advertise another election." In the Twenty-sixth District there has been a tie between two persona for the house of representatives. Now, if you were on of the above-mention' ed officers of either of the two coun ties involved, what would you do? This cry of "Csar" by Mr. Patter son's paper Is not original. It was first applied by Field Agent Books, the gentleman of leisure wbo can be seen preaching politics on the street cornera at almost any time of any year, and wbo for elgbt years, although democratic oounty chairman a large part of the time, has never foiled to do the work mapped out for him as a member of the oomblne with no party politics originated elgbt yean ago, and whlcb during that time haa sue eeeded In keeping Messrs. Books and Herolz continuously In office. It tbe cry of the same Books wbo en tered into a conspiracy with Mr. Pat terson to attempt to control certain populous preclncte at the late election by having both judges work together for Heroic and Storey, and also for Books. The "GVir" cry as applied to the Record editor Is altogether too funny A czar, or boas, as tbe term Is general' lv understood In polltlcs( is a gentle man of leisure such as Mr. Books. A bass Is out working for his combine all tbe time. He frequently spa more or less correctly two or throe languages, and uses that fact for tbe purpoeeof creating and bringing to his aid race prejudice wherever possi ble. He generally has or claims to have a lot of votes In his pocket be cause of consanguinity In the nutter of nationality, and be uses tbls In fluence for tbe purpose of "throwing the scare" Into candidates with wobbly backbone who may be running forofflce. If Messrs. Herolz and Books do not It the populsr conception of a political boe». where Is tbe man wbo does fit it? Streeter hardly possesses the quali fications of a cztr In this respect. He speaks but one language, although he admits tbat he wishes he could spsak more. Tbe requirements of his occupation demand tbat he stick elate ly to business. He esnnot, like Mr. Books, hire some one to do his official work and gad about tbe oounty mak ing political Medicine. In fact, he hasn't the time. The ideal boss is different In this respect. True, the editor, like the pictures we sea of the typical political boas In the papers, hss a bay-window, hut be his no diamond shirt-stud as big as a bsan. The po litical boas also hath many men who owe blm shekels for which he cbargeth In interest maximum rates, but sue oeedeth in convincing his victim that such vietlm is under great obllgatio ns for the loan of tbe money and must therefore vote as the loaner wishes. But It is our "friend" Herolz and not the editor In this county that loans tbe money to tbe multitude. Tben, again, the typical county bass is sup posed to be powerful at the county bouse he takea snuff that bis under lings may sneese be Is -present when tbe dsds meet be has all to say as to wbo shall be janitor, who shall do this and who shall do that, from shoveling a bit of coal to the giving out of a few dollars' worthof printing. Surely, theo, it must be bis friend Qua—wbo wouldn't loan blm hisautomoblle—to whom Mr. Patterson makes reference, for tbe editor does not visit the county build ing half a dozen times a year, and hss never asked a favor from tbe members the county board, and doesn't In tend to. Seriously, these cries of "boas'' and •czar," as applied to tbe editor of the Beoord, cut little ice. Tbey bave no bearing whatever on the question aa to whether Herolz used county currency with which tp make loans, or whether tbe oounty board let bridge contracts Illegally. Mr. Patterson says tbat the Record complained because be (Mr. P.) was given tbe election ballots to print. It did nothimr of the kind. Tbe Rec ord called attention to the fact tbat tbe plain letter of tbe law was violated —aa It had been repeatedly violated— by sending work out of tbe county that oould be done here. Ia tbere anytbing wrong io asking tbat the county offi cers obey the law in relation to bav in* oounty printing tbat can here done by be done tome county? print-shop In the The fact of tbe matter Is that the entire Rooks-Herolz-Patterson bunch are so sore over the result of tbe re cent election tbat, In tbe absence of everything with which to disprove wbat tbe editor of the Record has ebarged, their Newspaper Organ and the Field Agent of tbe bunch, follow ing the precedent set by tbe former Big Boss in his German circular, now yell at tbe top of their voices: "He lies! lie lies He is a csar!—a csar!" All of which howls of pain and rage do not explain jrby the Illegal bridge building was done or why the people of tbe First District were not allowed to choose their own commissioner. That is all there Is to it. Tbe. ed' itor of tbe Beoord Is in the Becord of fice practically a|l of the time. He has his living to make, and therefore he not have the leisure time In which to go about tbe oounty striving In two or three lsngusges to cref.te anybody a boas. Tbe funny Advocate editor doesn't want a grand Jury because it would be expensive." How remarkable that he has not said anything about the "expense" of paying a thousand dollars more for a bridge at one meeting than the bidder bad offered to do the work for a few weeka before, or tbe thirty' eeven hundred dollars paid for tbe Imperfect road west of Haselton that no commissioner seems to know any thing about? Does tbe Advocate ed itor believe tbat the taxpayers of Em mons county are going to allow these methods of conducting public busi to go on forever without ascer taining from an authoritative source just wbat Is being* done? Tbe Advo cate wants "an eipert accountant" Inatead of a grand Jury. Imagine an eipert accountant seeking informa tion as to whether work paid for waa honestly done,or how mucbcouoty cash used by Treasurer Herolz (with his personal obecks substituted there for) during those weeks In tbe fall and winter a year ago wben no depoaitor or would-be borrower In tbe United States could obtain money from tbe banks. Or Imagine an expert account ant measuring the costly road west of Hazelton to ascertain whether it was honestly built snd honestly paid for! 'It is to laugb!" The Advocate editor may rest as sured that tbere will be a grand Jury at the May term of court. He Intl mates in his paper tbat there are oth or violations of law by otber county officers. If so, wbjr does be not do as the Bocord editor bss done—mske bis allegations public In tbe columns of hla newspaper? __L_ Tan first issue of the People's Her aid, published at Tempelton, bss reached the Beoord office.

Cast lid* of Broadway THE SPECIAL ELECTMMI. Extracts from an Article Week's Haselton The much-talked-of special election to settle the legislative tangle and give the Twenty-sixth its full quoto of representatives has been called at last, the formal notice appearing else where in this issue. Just what Mr. Herolz will do is problematical al though It was stated some time ago that he would not make any active campaign in view of the fact that Em mons county now has the senator and one representative—since the state canvassing board seated Mr. Streeter. Mr. Tuttle will run again—a fact which caused Messrs. Herolz and Storey and their supporters to use every method known to prevent the special election being held, even trying to fix matters so that the district would not be rep resented in the lower house at the beginning of the session, in the hope that one of them might be seated. As it is, the special election will be held, and the people will have a chance to say which they wish to rep resent them—a political trickster who is willing to let the district suffer to further his own selfish ends, or a man against whom his enemies can bring nothing except that fortunately he has money, made in legitimate business, and, unfortunately, has a wife with whom he is unable to agree.

Tbere is an amusing English defini tion of "gentleman." It is "a man wbo wean a silk hat and if be has no other title Insists upon having 'Esq.* to his name when letters are addressed to him." The west end Londoner of social pretensions accepts this definition in practice. Summer and winter. In rain or shine, he wears a blgb silk hat in the streets of London and carries It Into the drawing room wbeu he pays an afternoon call, ft Is only when be takes a train for the provinces or for the continent that he ventures to use more comfortable headgear. He also expects to have the distinction of "es quire" when a letter is addressed to blm and is highly offended if be finds en tbe envelope the prefix "Mr." As a matter of fact, the number of Eng ilsh gentlemen who are legally en titled to tbe mediaeval honor of "es quire" Is Insignificant It la a self as sumed title which signifies nothing that Is substantial In rank or privilege, In common use In London "esquire" simply means that the person so ad dressed does not choose to be associ ated with tradesmen and ordinary working people and that be is a "gen tleman" who Invariably wears a eilk hat.
