without trying to force

taxpayers of Golden Valley
county.
Mr. Kastien has asked for an
investigation of his public record,
and, if we are to judge from that
record, a vote for him for county
commissioner is an endorsement
of graft, and law violation—as
well as the elimination of the
north farmers from the board of
cdmmissioners.
A vote for Lewis Odland in
stead is a vote fcr honest official'
dealings and a square deal to the
north farmers*.
Let Beach show its good will
toward the north country by sup
porting Mr. Odland—and elim
inating Mr. Kastien. of water
works and sewer fame, and' the
defender of gangism, graft, and
official lawlessness.

candidates this year for some of
the state offices, while other state
offices have no opposition. Tom
Hall for secretary of state. Carl

Walter Taylor for insurance com

the tirypayers have already been

OECH AND CURL.
The republican voters of the
"eeord ard third commissioners
districts, should all rally behind
the candidacies of George Oech
end L. E. Curl, and see that they
are nominated foi county com
missioners. There will be a
court here to build and other
matters of g-eat Importance to be
tranascted by the commissioners
in the interests cf everv taxpay
er in the county. If Egan and
O'Keefe are elected you can ex
pect that it will be dene along
the same lines as the appoint
ments were made and commis
sioners districts created—for
the benefit of a few and with no
regard for the wishes of the cre?t
majority. Egan and O'Keefe
handed out the appointments
without regard to the wishes of
the vcfters as expressed at the
1912 primaries, and they created
the commissioners districts to
suit themselves and their politi
cal henchmen, who are now try
ing to control the board with the
court house contract and loca
tion in view. It has been rumor
ed to the Chronicle that if these
men are elected, the court house
will be located out in the Near
addition (in which Banker Egan
owr.es property) and that the
contract will be given to E. E
Salzman, one of the O'Keefe
Egan henchmen. From the rec
ord of these men in making ap
pointments and creating commis
sioners districts, just such a frame
up looks reasonable. The des
perate effort to- elect Kastien
(who also owns property in
Nenr's addition) further substan
tiates the rumor. Vote for Curl,
C'ech and Odland, and eliminate
such political manipulation of
public affairs for private inter-
ests.

Stark county, but 70, two years
urer's office—with the couhty
funds at your command? A
'Beach spcrt and former conduct
or of a gambling joint in Beach,
who is a candidate for county
treasurer, is anticipating that
pleasure. Stark county had a
poker player for auditor once up
on a time. He is now in the peni
tentiary—and Stark county is
thousands of dollars loser. Play
the safe side and vote for A. E.

vote for these two—and then
vote for Mr. Odland, the big
Golden Vallev countv farmer.
One of our contemporaries, in
speaking of the vacancy in the
auditor's office in the city of
Beach, says: "This office should
r.o longer be left without an in
cumbent to the confusion cf the
public business," The Chronicle
editor wants to heartily agree
with this statement. The mayor
first— and refused to act on the
second. .It's time they get down
to business—and cut out the
comedy. They should carry their
soreness about the recent city
election no farther. There is a
limit to all things.
The majority rules, not only
in city elections, but in co-opera
tive enterprises as well. The
'minority in both cases should
submit to the wish of the many
and assist them in the building
up cf their city or company, as
the case may be, instead of at
tempting to tear down—simply
because thev couldn't control the
majority. Be men!

A DOCTOR NEEDED.
There are two candidates this
year for coroner on the republi
can ticket, Dr. R. W. Stough be
ing one of the candidates. The
position of coroner should be
held by a doctor, and in most
counties it is. Dr. Stough will
make a splendid coroner and the
republicans cf Golden Valley
county should nominate him next
Wednesdav. He belongs to no
clique or faction and this is also
important, in case of another at
tempted stage play like the one
in which the present coroner
took a Drominent part last sum
mer—when a man was shot and
killed in Beach. Cast your vote
for Dr. Stough for coroner.
Vote for J. A. Miller, the only
fafmer candidate for county
judge, and a lawyer experienced
in probate matters. Remember
he is one of the foremost who
helped to put Golden Valley
county cn the map.

You must hand it to Tommy..
He is there with the clever stuff.
But why permit Tommy to se
lect North Dakota's governor?
Two years ago when Gover
nor Hanna rescued the governor
ship from the democracy, Tom
my wanted an "offis," For six
years he had not been able to
connect with the state treasury.
He began to see visions of a fat
place and was already figuring
how to spend his salary.
When he went to Governor
Hanna for a job he was badly
disappointed. The executive
told Tommy plainly, frankly,
bluntly, honestly, that his ap
pointment to a political job was
an absolute impossibility. The
governor stated, however, that if
he could be of any assistance in
securing Tommy a private posi
tion he would gladly help.
This didn't please Tommy. He
wanted a real, political "offis
He was peeved. He swore
mightly. He began to plan op
position to the governor. The

numbers among its most enthus

Tommy is out for Revenge
Do you want Tommy to put
his scheme over?
The way to prevent it, the way
to insure another clean, business,
decent and law-ohsernng ad
ministration in North Dakota is
to go to the polls June 24 and
vote for the renomination of
