In EMMONS COUNTY RECORD Linton North Dakota F B STREETER criticizes the primary process as a joke and notes taxpayer expense. He cites Kregerius and disputed clerical hires and costly efforts to block lawful claims as examples of Subscriber’s jokes.
The letter criticizes aSubscriber and associates over public printing rates and a 1911 law. It argues D R Streeter could not control legislative votes or the governor John Burke. It notes political enmities, earlier allies now opposing, and mocks Subscriber while praising farmers. The piece also comments on last week's election showing La Follette gains but questions North Dakota’s presidential prospects. It ends with local references to Asselman and German residents.
Readers label the Record man insensed while many urge skepticism about Subscriber being out of sense as debate sparks over the columnist’s phrasing and public reaction.
The text suggests Subscriber desires legislative changes to newspaper laws so a paper must publish at least once in three or four months to keep legal standing. It reflects nostalgia for past days and a push for delayed publication rules.
