The Record is the Linton North Dakota newspaper published by D R Streeter & Son with D R Streeter P F Streeter listed as editors. It is designated as the pioneer paper of the county and reentered at the Linton Postoffice on second class matter.
The piece argues Republicans should reunite to contest next year’s congressional race led by Senator Cummins of Iowa and former Governor Hadley of Missouri. It defends protectionist policy, notes past reforms, and discusses factional divides over delegate rules and tariff policy. It also endorses a Supreme Court ruling requiring disclosure of newspaper owners and financiers, framing it as public accountability and not an erosion of press rights.

An old Record extract recalls a June 1888 Williamsport election where Farmer Boutillier and the local printer contested ballots. The scene centers on a sugar box ballot box, a rustled clerk, and a cramped polling at Schoolhouse No. 1 as both candidates for re election sought to cast votes before closing the suffrage shop.
Voters made improvised ballots from copy-book sheets and printers tickets, writing verses on the back. Ballots showed quirky lines as voters endorsed themselves and each other, then the clock was advanced to five as polls closed and a post election telegram hailed a republican victory in Precinct No 1.
