SAVES THE GRAIN.
New Model Thresher Now Exhibited by
the Langdon Implement Co.


the Langdon Implement Co.
rhe Langdon Implement Co. are first
and foremost to introduce to Cavalier
county farmers this season, and particu-
larly to threshermen, the latest improve
ments for the coming season in the
line of threshing machinery. They will
sell this summer, as in seasons past, the
we'll known j. I. Case make and have
this week received direct from the fac.
tory at Racine, Wis.,, complete outfit of
the latest pattern. To old thrsshermen
and other prospective buyers the Lang
don Implement Co., is directing arten-
ton particularly to the radical change
in the get up of the cylinder end of their
new separator, now being placed on the
market for the first time, though given
repeated and thorough tests in the field
last fall. The new separator has twen-
ty bar cylinder against the twelve bar OF
last year, while the crate and concave
surface is the largest ever, being in
creased from 81 to So inches, so that their
SO inch cylinder machines now have q
cylinder of 81 inches diameter instead
of ~ inches as heretofore. The number
of teeth is $50 against 1O8 on the old
pattern and the fact that the increased
diameter of the cylinder reduces the
necessary number of revolutions from
1915 per minute to $50 is where the
operator can figure the new pattern as
capable of doing much in the matter of
saving grain that it was impossible to
save heretofore.

THEY FEAR DEFEAT.

Senator Rannai is justified, from
the personal point of view, in re-
fusing to accept the Craftsmanship
of the republican congressional
committee, in which Office he
would be responsible for the out
come of the national congressional
campaign, soon to be under full
Roadway.
The republican apprehension of
disaster in this campaign Is one of
the most significant signs of re-
publican weakness and dissensioD.
On all sides the party organs are
betraying fear of defeat. An
endeavor is made to conceal this
truth by means of repeated warn
ings against "overconfdence" on
the part of republican managers
in the various congressional dis
trists. These managers "must not
be too sure of victory tho appeals
run; they must prosecute their
campaigns exactly as if there were
a strong likelihood Of big demo-
cratic gains.
And that there is an exceeding
strong likelihood of such gains
every well-posted republican news
paper and worker knows thorough
ly. An undercurrent of panic is
responsible for the warnings now
being issued. There is no Cover
confidence" in republican minds.
The increasingaggressivenessofthe
democratic party, it's repeated and
unfailing proofs Of party harmony,
the discomfort of the American
people with the republican trust
dictated policies Of imperialism
and colonialism, and with the par
TVS stubborn refusal te consider
tariff amendment, the rebellious
spirit of republican congressman
from the Northwest render "over-
confidence" impossible on the part
Of the republican managers. Mark
Hanna justly fears to shoulder the
responsibility for congressional
campaign which looks SO ominous
for republican interests.
The managers of the democratic
party cannot but be encouraged to
extraordinary effort in the con-
gressional campaign by this fact
of republican panic. The demo.
cratic party is welded into splen-
did solidarity by the vital issues
Of trustism, of Imperialism and of
colonialism, of a reform of che
tariff which shall terminate the
taxation of the people for the en-
richment of the trusts. The party
formation is compact and the par
~ spirit aggressive. The Ameri-
can people lock to democracy for
Rslief from republican misrule and
for q return to the true American
policies. Democratic leadership
which recognizes this truth and
acts upon it aggrsssively will, be-
