A notice records that the document is entered at the Linton Post Office as second class matter, indicating its intended mailing status and processing category. The entry confirms the postal handling designation for the item in question.
The piece notes calls for Republican county and state conventions at Fargo and hints at intra party strife. It reports Attorney Armstrong courting a Democratic delegation under conditions, mentions a U.S. senator election, and contrasts Editor Tuttle with Patterson as partisan figures amid heated rhetoric.
The Record notes Mr. Armstrong is depended on by Democratic Office Holder Patterson to keep the northern county in line for the upcoming Republican county conventions. It recalls Armstrong’s 1900 attempt to defeat his old ally Major Pitts and claims Armstrong repeatedly aims to rule or ruin the county’s Republican party.
Tom Record states he will not urge voters to back an incompetent Republican over a competent Democrat for county office.

Kipper county margins show McKinley winning Emmons by 122 amid efforts by Mr. Patterson to sway voters toward monarchy. The two counties merge into a single district, and Republicans vow unity for the legislature while one prominent county figure contemplates voting Democratic. The county GOP aims to ensure the legislative ticket wins despite internal divisions and the so called Political Pirates.
When the editor of the Record lost his office he accepted the result, honoring the ballot as the backbone of republicanism. He asserts his past duties were fulfilled and pledges not to submit to misrepresentations by Armstrong's law and the Pirate's paper, threatening campaign intensity if needed.
The Record challenged Armstrong’s fitness for office, citing four year old statements and documents it published to support charges. Armstrong promised legal action but did not pursue it, arguing he would sue only if the published material were false.
The Record refuses to promise support for a specific ticket while pledging to back the senatorial nominees of the Twenty sixth district, regardless of personal preferences. It condemns unworthy Republicans against worthy Democrats, urging every Republican vote for the nominees with a U.S. senator election at stake.
A letter from D. Streeter to Republicans urges unity for the upcoming legislative ticket. Streeter says Hi A Armstrong dismisses harmony and accuses Streeter of prior false printing, warning that he and a ally cannot blame others for any post campaign consequences.
