Now what does the farmer care whether it is the camel’s nose or the G. 0. P.’s trunk that is in the tent? ‘ The farmers of this state have been asking the Republican party for relief for years, have asked for terminal elevators, packing- establish- ments and a better method of marketing grain which will give a larger proportion of the price to the producer. But we all know the Republican machine papers (Bismarck Tribune, Mandan Pioneer, Courier-News, etc.) fought and defeated all' these things the farmer demanded. Now is it any wonder that the farmers of the state have sought relief where they have every reason to expect that relief?~ The whole story is told by the Courier-News when it said “What- ever the merjt of the candidates nominated by the N onpartisan League may be, the fact is that they are under the management of the tightest political machine ever constructed in the state, and the managers of that machine are not Republicans.” \ . ‘Why, of course, that machine would be just the thing, if the old Re- publican machine had it in hand. The farmers of the state waited and watied for years to get relief, but at last found that the old machine handed them a stone. Then in their manhood they said “We will help ourselves.” . No citizen can object to a nonpartisan move that says “Put the best men in office”independent of any and all political parties.” Do, it this time and let the old corporation owned papers howl from now on until the railroads stop their pay. s We here don’t care whether the old machine is against Mr. Langer or not the ofet%plefi m;a%firm gomg'Th to elecvf;lfiil;uhb a.nd‘ ‘{rll the other nominees e Non e. en 'we wi w “You machine Republicans” how it works when the people rule. : : SR : JOHN CAMERON. gocéooo_goo"oooo0'4"00oo_oodioootoooooooooooooo'oooooooooo ....0.....'........0........‘....._‘........O..O... ture for two terms and four years in also in the drug business with & theé: sta “senate. i i brother.

Drown of Page. indorsement of Mr. Drown, one of the' pioneers and most respected farmers. in. his community, is a typical instance of how party lines were disregarded by the League delegates in their district conventions. Mr. wn is a_ Demo- crat, living in an overwhelmingly Republican community, but was ins . dorsed for the senate by more than a two-thirds vote on the first ballot of a convention in which more than a majority were Republicans. .., .. Mr. Drown came to North Dakota on a “visit” in 1883 and has never left the state. He had previously taken - " up the study of law in Ohio, where he was born in 1857. His first, year he put in wheat on 660 acres in northe western Cass county acquired from a brother-in-law and was wiped out by, a hailstorm on July 25, 1884, just ‘one year to the day from the time he ar- rived in state. His crop was seo completely ruined that he never.sent a binder into the field. 5 RN vt He was not downed by adversity, but with his relative bought a thresh« ing outfit and cleaned up enough in. the season to be able to put in & crop, the following year.
