He worked at Delmar and walked
four miles morning and evening to and
from his work. It was while he was
on his way home Thursday evening af-
ter a hard days labor that he dropped
dead almost within sight Of his own
door. Heart disease the verdict says.

and controlled the balance. The con-
vention was at Watertown. Balloting

without result A recess was then
taken and the final struggle began to
take shape. Allen and his lieutenants
were doing some tall hustling and

THE LATE GEN. ALLEN.
A Remfniscence by an Old
Political Friend and
Admirer.

We found the following item in the
Sioux City Journal of recent date writ.
ten by M. B. Kent Of Elk Point.
While General Allen was all that our
old friend Kent claims for him, he is in
error as 10 Geoage Mathews, who is
still an honored citizen of Brookings.
and the writer. while warm personal
friend Of Gen. Allen, was not backing
him in his fight for congress against
Mathews or Clifford:
The late General Harrison Allen
was possessed of many traits Of
character that were Cheetertieldian.
He was man Of interesting and
striking personality. just about the
size of Gen. Logan, with springy steps,
fine carriage, straight black hair,
musical voice and graceful gesture when
engaged in an animated conversation,
and withal an elegant gentleman.
His army record in the civil war had
been of high standard. and after the
war he had been elected auditor of the
great state Of Pennsylvania twice dur.
ing the regime Of Gov. John A. Hart.
ranft. Later the general had been ap.
pointed U. S. marshall by President
Harrison. He made . good record a.
officer, and In about 1886 was can
didate for congress, Fargo being bis
home. He had some good workers like
Arthur Linn, Jud Lamour, Alex Nc
Kinzie, Charlie Little, John E. Hsg.

ballot registered 40 votes. Judge Gift

The Tuesday After the First
Monday.

Why should the law prescribe "the
Tuesday next after the first Monday in
November, +" instead of saying "the first
Tuesday," Like many other small
things. this provision introduces an in
teresting picture of the past.
Although the Constitution requires
the electors in all the states to meet and
choose President on the same day, 1t
was,not until 1S45 that law was
passed By Congress providing that the
clad 3sahould be chosen on the same
dsy Bughout the United States.
Wh9n William Henry Harrison was
the Whig candidate in 1840, Now York
began 20 vote on the first Monday in
November and the polls were kept
open until Wednesday night. Election
day in Massachusetts was the second
Monday, but before that day, in this
instance, enough states had voted to
decide the contest. The National In
telligencer of that year records that
several thousand aged and intirm
Wings in Massachusetts did not bother
to 60 to the polls.
Delaware voted a day later than
Massachusetts,. Illinois. Indiana and
Pennsylvania were among the early
voting states, Alabama was one OF the
last. This diversity combined with
slow methods of transmitting news.
left the election results in doubt for
many days.
The system was not satisfactory.
The states that voted early had an
undue influence on the result. Especi-
ally was this true as communication be-
cansesmore rapid, and by 1s4o an en-
~ ssiastic editor told how the news
10 qittsburg had been brought to
New York in thirty five hours. This,
he added, significantly, 'is . sign Of
the times
Congress accordingly decided to es-
tablish . uniform day. The original
bill named the first Tuesday in Novem-
Der, but it was found necessary TO har-
monize this with the requirement that
not more than thirty days should elapse
before the meeting of the electoral col.
leges in the different states, which had
been set for the first Wednesday in
December. When Tuesday is the first
day of November, December will have
/. no Wednesday till the seventh. The
interval is thirtv.seven days Under
the law as it was passed in lS45 not
more than twenty mine days can elapse
between election day and the first
Wednesday in December Under the
law of 1887 the electors do not meet to
give their votes until the second Mon.
day in January.

Buy Registered Cattle Now.

When speculation in improved cattle
was rife two or three years ago We
were not advising the good average
farmer to invest. We knew very well
that it was largely speculative craze
and that the prices Of such cattle must
decline. Now, however, is the time
to buy, when good young we'll bred
cows can be bought at public sale. we'll
on in calf or with calf at foot, for from
s75 to 1920 No good farmer need
hesitate for a single moment.
If the calf is bull. 1t will. II prop
erly fed and cared for. sell in twelve
months, or less. for from one-half to
two. thirds Of the price Of COW and
calf If it should be heifer, it is
needed on the farm. It seems to us
a plain open and shut case. Do not,
however. buy any kind Of COWS merely
because she sports pedigree. Buy
q COW with three or four months old
calf at foot should be a bit thin in
flesh. That is Recommendation 10
the COW and also to the calf. It shows
that the COW is a good mixer; some
thing very much to be desired in i'm.
proved cattle.
There is q class Of men. however,
whom we advise not to buy these cat
tie; the poor farmer. the farmer who
Is not prepared to give them proper
shelter, the farmer who evidently does
not feed his cattle enough, the farmer
on thin land with poor grass. That
man should keep out Of thoroughbred
cattle. They will not do will with
him. The very ordinances of nature
are dead set against it. He had better
confine himself to scrub cattle.
There are thousands of our readers
who have good farms, good shelter,
good grass, who can afford to go in
now and lay the foundation Of herds
and gradually secure complete pedi-
gree herd of cattle on the farm. We
doubt If they will ever do it cheaper
than now. There is plenty of hay,
plenty Of grain, and there is no reason
why in the course of two or three
years they should not have enough
profit to pay for the first cos. and for
the keep. Better put your money into
good cattle Of anv Of the improved
breeds than put it in gold mines, or
silver mines, or oil wells, or on the
Board Of Trade, or in any other specu-
lative venture. The buying of cattle
of the kind we describe at the present
time is not speculation but plain,
straight, common sense business.
The foregoing extract is from
Wallaces' Farmer, and it is safe to as
sert that there is no man in the west
better posted on farm matters than the
Editor Of Wallaces' Farmer,
In this connection the editor of the
LEADER desires to say word and it is
for the benefit OF our farmers that we
write. No one questions the value of

Governor ElrOd.

The successor of Gov Herried is 4
man whom the people Of this slate will
have reason to be proud Of as he will
take up the duties of his high Office
free from entangling alliances with
faction or section, and Sam Elrod
could be no other kind Of governor
His independence and Unborn love Of
justice will make him an ideal execu.
tive. He cares nothing for pomp or
passing glory -he loves to be recogniz-
ed as one Of the people-ome Of the men
who came in territorial days to help
make this q great and glorious state
and he has done his full share in EN-.
pire building.
Governor Elrod will do his plain duty
without fear or hope Of reward, other
than the reward that is due an upright.
honorable citizen, commissioned by the
people to look after their interests.
That he will be as firm as the Rock Of
Ages when 1t comes to . faithful and
conscientious discharge of duty none
will question who know him,
and those who know him best--love
him best-becsuse Of bis sturdy honor
able manhood and sterling qualities as
Q christian gentleman, whose aim
through life has been to set q good ex-
ample for Others
Such is the man who will fill the ex.
ecutive chair for the next four years.
and the people are indeed fortunate in
having such governor-one In whom
they can place confidence at all times
and under all circumstances. and know
in advance that their interests as tax
payers will be protected. He will pro.
tect the state treasury against needless
and expensive raids by all combines,
and the backbone required to do this he
possesses. and the people Of the state
will have additional reason to be proud
Of him because he has said there must
be economy In all departments and his
assertion in this direction will be car
ried out
What he has said before election
with reference to reforms and needed
legislation in behalf of the taxpayers
will be carried ont to the letter.
He loves the people because he is one
Of them and his big heart beats in
sympathy with the struggling masses.
The LEADER is proud of him as
friend and proud of his record as
citizen and the people Of the state will
be proud of his record as governor.
