tory has repeated itself time and
again and will ever continue to do so,
in that the dairy farm and creamery
are two of the greatest stepping
stones which ultimately lead to sue
cess, and mako a community prosper
GUS. The farmer who keeps a few
COWS and sells the cream to the cream
! cry, is sure to find at the end Of the
year a fine balance on the credit side
of his ledger. The prevailing low
prices of grain and other farm pro-
ducts have caused many farmers in
the northwest to devote more atten-
ton to dairying. Under present con-
d%itions, dairying in connection with
cooperative creameries. provided
they are properly built and operated,
is the most reliable and profitable
branch of farming that can be pur-
sued in the northwest. In some sec
tions of Minnesota the establishment
of cooperative creameries has chang
ed the character of the whole com
munity.

MEETING CALLED
IN USUAL WAY

Select Few Were Invited
DUE NOTIFICATION WAS GIVEN
Editorial in Daily Republican Was Mis-
leadina-Those Who Opposed the
Repeater Could Not Make a Showing
and Stayed Away.

aHo oNeJtu away.
An editorial which appeared in the
Daily Republican yesterday implied
that the meeting held az the Young
Mems Republican Club ON Wednesday
night, when resolutions were adopted
unging Governor Hum to sign thIe
Voters Assistant repeater, was not
called in the usual way, and that only
those were invited who were known to
favor IT, Il also stated that President
Rudolph's statement in his letter to
Governor Hum. that the meeting was
called after thorough advertisement,
WAS gratuitous and inaccurate.
An investigation OF the matter was
made this morning, and It WAS learned
that the referred to editorial was false
and misleading in every particular.
President Rudolph, of the Republi-
can Club, when seen, was not inclined
to talk on the subject. as he did not
consider it worth discussing. He said.
however, that under tho clubs nfIw
constitution, Il is necessary to have mo-
tices put in the local papers five days
before the election, and nothing more
is required. In this case the notice was
given in favor OF the local papers and
appeared I'M several of them. Mr.. Ru-
do'ph said that he told one OF the Ver-
mons, who is employed ON the Daily
Republican. about the notice on last
Thursday, the day the delegation went
to Dover. This IS evidence enough that
the Republican knew Of the insisting al
least six days before IL was held
From other PARTIES il las learned
that all the members knew Of the meet
ing, and that an attempt was made
to get enough Union Republicans q
block the resolutions, but. failing in
this scheme, they all stayed away.
