County realignment prompts heated critique of Mr H F Douglas
A discussion on creating a new county calls on Mr H F Douglas of Fort Yates not Emmons county resident to pool issues. The speaker labels him a gentleman with an insinuating address but warns that if he persuades our representatives to divide a county where he is a citizen despite nine tenths of the people’s wishes he is a daisy.
