Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate.
MEDFoRD, ND, June a.
Your correspondent was in your town on Monday
last and had the pleasure of good hand shake
with the next governor, Hon. Frank Brown. He
surely is a man of the people. We have talked to
many persons and they all say Brown and Bennett
are for the working people. We want such a man
as the Hon. p j. Bennett to represent us in the State
Senate. Mr.. Bennett wants every to pay his
own taxes and not some else to pay 1t for him.
We are tired Of paying mems taxes and they having
more to say in politics than any else. Senator
Bennett has been tried. We know his worth; he is
not all for himself he favors equal taxation As to
the other candidates, we expect to send good men
to the House of Delegates. that will be In harmony
with our Governor and Senator. As a working
people we think we have been neglected and will
modestly demand our rights. 1t has been said the
candidates for Judge all of sufficient ability
to fill the position. As to Mr. Browns popularity
every one knows that Mr.. Bennett is the choice of
the majority in this county. 1 have chance to
know. We viii nse all honorable means to secure
his nomination and election,

Fun Among the Bows.

A large sewer runs across Main street to
Sycamore street, opposite the City Hotel, tn is
city, and the boys have been having some fun
with the adults. Their plan has been to get
one boy 10 go to the Sycamore street end and
call in the sewer for help, that he is suffocating
and will die soon if not rescued. Several
others go to the opposite end, at the CRATE,
and appear very excited at the situation,
When some young man is attracted by them,
they name some boy who is in the sewer in a
perilous position. This naturally exeites the
adult When he gets worked to high pitch,
the boys change their serious expressions TO
grins and guy him numerically. They have
played the trick on number of persons.
