Political Advertisement 'FOR SHERIFF I hereby announce my candidacy for the Republican nomination for Sheriff for Slope county to be voted on at the primaries, June 28, 1916. I am a farmer and member of the Nonpar- tisan League and will sincerely ap- preciate any support given me. ] PETER OBERG Midway N. D. Political Advertisement J. H. ULSRUD REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE for the nomination to the office of STATE’S ATTORNEY of McHenry county, North Dakota, at the primary election, June 28, 1916. Although Mr. Ulsrud held the office but one term, it may be said of him that he treated all alike and made for himself an enviable reputation. .Because he' refused to obey the man- dates of the political ring at Towner, he was ‘beaten by 47 votes in his campaign for a second term. Things have taken a radical turn-since then; the voters are doing their own think- ing in this campaign, which makes it appear certain that Mr. Ulsrud will be ‘the nominee.—The Drake News. SABOTAGE : The official Hanna-Jimhill organ in Fargo: exuberates as follows: Tis sweet to waken in the morn With nature turning green And throw a great big monkey wrench In Townley’s own machine. -A CORRECTION : In the interest both of euphony and resemblance to the facts in the case the Leader suggests a slight alter- ation: How sweet to waken in the morn And earn some more long green By pulling chestnuts from the fire For the Hanna-Jimhill machine. CAN THANK THEMSELVES That the Nonpartisan League con- vention was a live one is evidenced by the fact that the newspapers still continue to print columns of com- ments on it, friendly and adverse, something which would not be done as to anything that was or is dead, or near dead. The fact that a num- ber of newspapers and the politicians they represent are sorely exercised about the influence of the League and the League nominations on politics in this state this year, is evidence that those newspapers and politicians wish the League had never come into exist- ence. Such newspapers and the poli- ticians who control them can thank themselves for the coming into being of the League and its present activity. —FARGO SEARCHLIGHT. THE FARMERS’ RIGHT The Nonpartisan League, contrary to the predictions of many, failed to run into breakers at the state conven- tion held .at Fargo last week. The League has grown like a mush- room. Never in the history of politics in any state, has such a movement grown so fast. p -Many - of the politicans are con- cerned. over the rapid growth of the organization. This does not cause the Independent the least concern. We have the utmost faith in the farmers of North Dakota. If they get into control of affairs of the state through the mission of the League or any other organization, we do not believe they will misuse their power. If they use that power to build up the farming industry of North Dakota, all well and .good. If any unscrupulous leaders show - a - tendency to “feather their nests” at the expense of the farmer, we believe that they will be taken gently by the ear and conducted to a rear seat. If this paper sees anything in connection with the League that does not appear right to us we are going to criticise it, but we are not going to condemn the movement, for the farmers have a perfect right to organize.—WARD COUNTY INDE- PENDENT. *© - I have read more valuable news in the Leader than in all the other papers 1 have read put together.— J. T. LIVINGSTON. Political Advertisement Democrats Should Register and Vote in the June Primary in Order to Have a Voice in Party Affairs It now seems to be a foregone conclusion that President Wilson will be renominated and elected to succeed himself as President. In the event that a Democrat is elected Senator from this state, he will be called upon to make recommendations to the President of applications for ap- pointment to the various appointive offices in the gift of the President. I am opposed to any favoritism in the distribution of the patronage. I favor a Democratic primary election for the:selection of Postmasters and ks THE NONPARTISAN LEADER other Federal appointive offices by a vote of the Democrats who register and vote the Democratic ticket in the June primary, such primary to be conducted by the regularly elected Democratic town; county.and state organization. _ Be careful and -elect only -knewm -Demoerats as precinct committee men. If you look out for this you will abolish petty bossism and favoritism in the distribution of Federal patronage. Let us take this step at the June primary and relegate to the rear the taint:of favoritism and bossism that.has prevailed during the last four years. The future-harmony of the Party rests with you. I pledge myself to put the Primary system into effect should you choose me as your Senator. . If you believe in my platform and want to see me nominated and elected sign your name to the following petition, fill in the name of the county in the blank spaces and mail to me at Bismarck, N.D. Frank_O. Hellstrom PETITION " To Thomas Hall, Secretary of State, Bismarck, North Dakota: We, the undersigned, do hercby certify that we are qualified Electors of the COUNEY OF oo , State of North Dakota, representing the’ Pemocratic party, and do hereby petition and request that the name of Frank O. Hellstrom, of Bismarck, in said 'State, be printed as a candidate for nomination to the office of United States Senator on the Democratic ballot, to be voted on at the Primary Election to be held on the 28th day of June, A.

That’s what circulation and reliability always bring. A live paper,.as the Leader is, filled with stories, cartoons and ‘pictures, telling of ond illustrating the real news of political and other events of intense interest to the farmers of North Dakota, always brings the best advertising results. - Especially is this true of the Leader, which advocates the cause of the farmers of this state, who are banded together nearly 40,000 strong to right some most grievous political wrongs, and they are pledging themselves to pat- ronize the advertisers in the Leader for the reason that -adwertising makes it possible to make a better pnd stronger advocate for them. The Leader goes into more farm homes in North Dakota than all the other publications circulating in the state put together, so real live, up-to-date mer- chants and business firms who want the patronage of the farmers and their families advertise in the Leader. A guaranteed paid circulation of an average of 85,000 per week. . There is one particular request we wish to make in this connection of mem- bers of the League and readers of the Leader, and that is.this: Read the Leader advertisements for the articles you wish to buy, and then tell the -mer- chant as you buy from him that the reason you are patronizing him is because you saw his advertisement in the Leader. Do this and you will render one more duty and service to the Leader and your own cause. Our business department is still being flooded with testimonials of the benefits received through advertising in the classified columns of the Leader. Here is the best opportunity ever presented for the farmers of this state to trade, buy and sell their produce, etc., among themselves, and they do it at half the regular advertising rates if they are members of the League. Try it and you will be convinced of the splendid results. Political Advertisement ‘m This is Candidate for Treasurer of Ramsey County.
