County Auditer R. C. Hayner submits the following open letter as a political advertisement. *“Now that the race is practically run and we await the decision I wish to take this opporunity of thanking the voters of Beltramicounty who have so kindly given me their sup- port and to say to those who opposed me thatI have nothing but the kindest of feeling. -While I have deemed it advisable to set forth cer- tain reasons, in circulars and letters why T thought that I should have the support of the taxpayers I did it with the purest of motives, as I firmly believe that the statements are true. *“I have been accused of being an office seeker and perhaps to the voters and citizens I have seemed over zeal? ous and such may be the fact. I will admit that I have fought to the last ditch not particularly because I have been blinded by the glare of a pub- lic office or that I .wish to become a leech to Beltrami county. “But perhaps the greatest incen- tive that induced me to keep up the fight, to the very last, is the fact of the many friends that myself and family have made since I have mov ed to Bemidji and the hope that I might give my children the advant- ages of Bemidji’s public schools. “But if I have erred I hope my friends will overlook my errors, and that; be the outcome what it may, that these who have opposed me will forger. the ‘opposition, as soon as their ballots are cast, and will meet me as a’ friend and citizen of Bel- trami county. ’ *And to my opponents in the race for Auditor, while we may differ in opinions, I trust that we may become friends and as we meet in the daily walks of life we may greet one an-| other with a hearty handshake. “Yours very truly R.
