Hutchinson Recor Visitor at Pioneer Celebration Had Longest Record of Any Person in Service “Fifty years ago an old lady with white hair and work hardened hands, tugging with her a decrepit chair, stopped before the door of a small frame building and sat down. Two nights and a day she sat there, and when the door of the building was opened on the second morning, Annie Elfstader, ‘Old Annie’ as we called her, was the first to enter and to file her claim for 80 acres of land. To- cay that 80 acres is a part of the city of Minot, N. D.” The incident is one recalled by Myron W. Hutchinson of Great Falls, Mont., who with Mrs. Hutchinson, sis- ter of Mrs. H. W. Richholt, 223% Seventh St., attended’ the Burleigh County Pioneer association’s 21st an- nual banquet Thursday night. Has Service Record Mr. Hutchinson, clerk in the Great Falls land office, started his 51st con- secutive year with the service on Sept. 6. He has been with the United States land office longer than any employe of that department in the United States. The happening related by Mr. Hut- chinson took place at Bismarck, D. T., where he first entered the govern- ment land service, During the career started here that year, he has observed and aided in the development of the public lands of the great northwest from barren wastes to rich and fertile farmlands. He has aided and counseled hundreds and probably thousands of people who have settled in this and in the Montana territory and who count him among their friends. Tells 1886 Invtident “I was only 19 when I started work- ing in the land office at Bismarck in 1886,” said Mr. Hutchinson, “and when the government announced that it would open up additional land in Dakota Territory, I didn’t dream that today there would be cities where lit- | Call 234 Free Transportation to the Polls (Pol.

The line was halted there until a bridge could be built over the Missouri river to con- tinue west to the Pacific coast. This bridge connected Bismarck and Man- dan, named for an Indian tribe by that name, and was completed in 1881. The Northern Pacific raliway was completed two years later. “Prior to the completion of this road a large amount of freight and supplies of all kinds was sent by rail te Bismarck and then sent north and west as far as Fort Benton, and south to Fort Yates and Standing Rock In- dian agency, the Sioux reservation, by Steamboat. A considerable amount of steamboat traffic was carried on until late in the ‘90's, however, but. with the advent of the railroad, the first great step had been taken to- ward conquering ‘the great American desert’ and the old steamboats finally disappeared altogether.

I won’t forget that cel- ebration. My future wife, than Miss Gertrude Griffin of Bismarck, took part in the parade which was staged at Bismarck. With three other young women, each of them representing one of the newly admitted states, and each of them expert riders, she rode \down the streets of the town. “That parade was good enough for —————— C.

Eliminate Langerism and gang politics once and for all by adding your vote to the majority that will be piled up for Welford! Misleading Propaganda—“Last-Minute Stuff”—Will Not Change the Tide. IN A DESPERATE, BUT MISTAKEN EFFORT TO MISLEAD THE VOTERS INTO BELIEVING THAT THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR HAD A CHANCE AT ELECTION, THE PRIME MOVERS IN THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN PRINTED ALLEGED TELEGRAMS FROM VARIOUS COUNTIES WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SWING TO MOSES. BUT THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE FAILED TO EVEN CONFER WITH THOSE WHOSE NAMES WERE SIGNED TO THE ALLEGED TELEGRAMS!

OPEN LETTER TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ‘To vote intelligently people ought to know the true facts Here are five facts of startling importance: Ist 2nd 3rd 5th The last criminal action tried for Burleigh County was in February, 1934, more than two years ago. At the last jury term of that court there were 94 criminal cases on the calendar that were not tried or disposed of. Not one of. those 94 cases was settled in-or out of . court. Criminal cases once in District Court can- not be settled except by order of court. (See Code. 11169.) The criminal who will not plead guilty is usually the dangerous one, The tax litigation (Civil action) settled out of court December 31, 1935, gave one party a clear gift of $12,613.09, of which about $6,000.00 belonged to the City Schools. This money was all 100% collectible. (The foregoing is all a matter of record in the court house The crime conditions and lack of law enforcement’ in high and low places is well known in a general way to all of you. : Is it net time, high time, for a change in the office of State’s Atterney . > in Burleigh County? Respectfully, F.'E, McCURDY, Candidate for State’s Attorney. And Thus Another Bugaboo of the Campaign Has Blown Up! Welford’s election will be a landslide! P. O. Sathre will be elected attorney general by a large majority! : T. H. H. Thoresen will be elected lieutenant governor by a wide margin! How About Relief In North Dakota? WOULD A DEMOCRATIC GOVER- NOR HELP US IN OUR RELIEF PROBLEM? NO! In the “solid South”—where the Democrats are always in control—relief workers get a maxi- mum of about $19 a month! The Democratic gov- ernment doesn’t have to curry favor in states where they are continually in power. BUT In North Dakota—a normally Republican state— a state with an honest governor who holds the respect and the confidence of the federal govern- ment—federal relief works get a minimum of about $40 a month—and up! Retain Welford and Adequate Relief! WOULD LANGER’S ELECTION HELP US IN OUR RELIEF PROBLEM? , NO! Secretary Willson of the State Welfare Board, a non-political relief. organization which admin- isters federal and state relief funds in North Da- kota, has already indicated that federal funds will be taken entirely out of the hands of the state if Langer is elected governor. The whole author- ity for relief would be removed from North Da- kota—where it belongs—and placed in the hands of federal officials with centralized power at Washington. The federal government has no confidence in Langer nor in his administration of financial mat- ters. THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES DO NOT The Swing Has Been All To Welford! Moses failed to carry his own county—Mer- cer—at the primary election. In TWO Mercer county precincts Moses failed to get a single vote! Langer failed to carry his own county—Bur- leigh—at the primary election. He cannot carry Burleigh county Tuesday! But Welford carried his county—Pembina— by a wide margin! Is there a chance for the Democratic candi- didate to win? Not achance! Here are a few tele- graphic comments selected from many received over the week-end from Mercer county—Moses’ own county: Telegram IN MY TALKS WITH MY NEIGHBORS I KNOW MOSES WILL BE IN THIRD PLACE AS HE WAS IN THE PRIMARY. Christ Voegele (Beulah farmer) Telegram MOSES WILL BE IN THIRD PLACE IN OUR COUNTY. F. L, Flemmer (Beulah businessman) Telegram WE HAVE MADE AN EXTENSIVE TRIP OVER THE COUNTY AND FIND THAT GOVER- NOR WELFORD HAS MADE VERY DECIDED GAIN. MOSES WILL BE IN THIRD PLACE. D. L. Ford, Ben Kittler (Beulah) Telegram MOSES WILL BE IN THIRD PLACE IN OUR COUNTY, Tony Binek (Beulah) DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE! VOTE WELFORD! Important to Burleigh County Voters It is important that a Legislature favorable to Governor Welford—a Progressive Legislature —be elected tomorrow. Great problems will face the next Legislature—problems of relief, our schools, our farms, the moratorium ... Elect men to the Legislature who KNOW our problems. VOTE FOR . State Senator MILTON RUE TRUST HIM. Retain Welford and Adequate Relief! Mark Your Ballots! Governor Walter Welford Lieutenant Governor & House of Representatives JAKE SWENSON & ALEX ASBRIDGE & GOVERNOR WELFORD IS AN HONEST MAN. EVEN HIS PO- LITICAL ENEMIES WILL ADMIT THAT! His administration has been a Business Administration. It has been efficient; it has been ecofiomical; TAXES HAVE BREEN REDUCED; schools have been kept open in the face of financial distress; the needy have been cared for; social security has been put into effect. _T.H.H.
