The Elma Vidette says: One of the
most beautiful drives we know of is
that from Saratoga to Cresco On
either side of the road are well i'm
proved, most exellently titled farms,
good groves, orchards, etc, and on
nearly every farm at present can be
found a nice bunch of young cattle,
a herd of good swine and what's more,
there seems to be plenty of feed to
winter them. Much corn has been
cut and the fields look fine.

A Convention.

EDITOR PRESS: appreciate the
fact that all the men seeking the
nomination for Representative are
worthy and 1 shall cheerfully sup
port the nominee. Bull as we al
ways want to do the best thing for
both people and candidates, l pre-
sumo a suggestion to the commit
tee which, l see, is called to meet
Monday, would not be out of place
1t occurs to me that a delegated
convention should be held for the
purpose of making. tie nomina-
ton, Let the Democrats of each
precinct meet and instruct dele
gates to attend the convention and
let first, second and third or more
instructions be given. By this
means each voter can express his
first choice, his second choice and
so on, and thus we get an express
sion fully, and following these in
structions the strongest man will
get the nomination. If we have
a primary, the vote will be so di-
vided up that nobody will get a
majority, and the man who might
be the last choice of very large
majority of the voters could win
the nomination. / offer this as a
suggestion. A Democrat.

In an official statement Russia
serves notice in plain terms on the
world that she is a great power
and will not permit any interfer|
ence with her plans regarding
Manchuria. This is a direct def
ance of Great Britain, which has
been foremost in trying to secure
united action on the part of the
other powers to prevent Russian
suzerainty over Manchuria. 1t
has been argued that Russian con-
troll of Manchuria would precipi-
tate the partition of the Chinese
empire, and Great Britain, the
United States and Germany have
taken ground in favor of preserv-
ing the territorial integrity of the
Flowry Kingdom, .Russia's action
therefore raises direct issue be-
tween the Cars Government and
the other Powers, land brings the
Eastern question to a crisis.

Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1901-11-22

Paris. Claims to be. Now, if this
ssbest" recommendation is worth
anything at all, it ought to be EVIL
dent when it comes to advertising
rates. The chest paper ought to
demand the best rates for it's adver-
tizing space, both from foreign and
domestic patrons and to get these
rates, too. But it don't. From
such people as Chamberlain, Buck
lin, Billiards. Snow Liniment, and
such, the EXAMINER gets from 25
to s34 per cent more than the Post
does, for their Advertising. On
local ads, from people in Mont
pelier, the EXAMINER gets from Is
to so per cent more per inch than
the Post does, and it carries more
inches of local advertising than the
Post, too. Its true the EXAMINER
columns are not crowded with Gas
toria," 'tDr. Taft Brothers." and
other ads, which pay nothing or
next to nothing for their space. We
could have all of these, but the
price isn't high enough, SO we run
eading matter instead.
After looking the matter all over
we have concluded that a mention
in the "Blue Book" as the .'best"
paper, means, to foreign advertisers
in particular, the best paper to
"work" for subscriptions and cheap
ad rates. The fellows outside the
Blue book arc not evidently the
'workable" kind.
We only cite one instance, but
suppose the entire IS "best,' papers
will easily come under the same
category.
