It is a silly argument that his enemies make against Robert C. Dunn when they say the lumber- ing interests of the state are working for Dunn’s election, to pay him for past favors. Itis a fact that some of the heaviest lumbermen never know how to pay a tax until anditor Dunn taught them. We need not go far for an il- lustrative case and corroborative witness. A, R. Button, Ripple’s foremost citizen, can testify as to one instance whén Bob Dunn got after tax-dodgers in Beltrami county a few years ago and, in conjunction with the county at- torney there, closed down four or five logging camps for Walker & Akeley until they paid their taxes.

We will remark, in passing, that Dunn, in opposi- tion to the Ilumbermen was largely instrumental in securing the passage of this same law. Mr. Button was living at Be- midjiin the winter of 1899, and when T. B. Walker’s loggers be- gan to remove logs from a neigh- boring tract before the taxes were paid, Mr. Button notified the state auditor by letter. Audi- tor Dunn at once got busy, with the result that Beltrami county soon received into its treasury thousands of dollars of tax money which the lumbermen sought to avoid paying until a reduction was made by the county, which reduction they had demanded. The correspondence between Dunn and Button in this case, which the latter still retains, is the best kind of proof that Dunn is under no obligations to the big lumbermen. If they desire his election to the governorship, they are not prompted by gratitude, but probably by admiration for a fearless man, who will not neg- lect duty to favor friends, nor use hypocrisy to defeat foes— The Big Forks Compass. The Republican Ticket. The republican county ticket nominated by the republicansand the democrats and the populists County consin and divers other states is composed of good men who will make good officials. So far as we know the nominees are all good republicans, and although the republican voters of Beltrami county had very little to do with their selection, nevertheless, the men named on the ticket will discharge the duties of the re- spective offices to which they as- pire with credit to themselves and to the republican party which they represent and it may fairly be said that they should receive the full republican vote of the county. The republicans of the county owe it to their party to give the county ticket earnest support. and although in recent years voters of all parties have grown much more independent, which is well, the integrity of parties is as essential to good government as is the selection of good men. The primary election cannot be taken asan indication of the strength of the republican party in Beltrami county, but there can bo no doubt that the | | | { No matter who is running, you will have to walk.
