In fairness, 1 must say that consider
The Globe did most effective work for
its candidates in the state campaign.
The paper made the most of the rumors
relating to the Republican campaign
and candidates. and it kept within the
lines and did not have to take back any,
thing during the campaign. Much of
the value of a newspaper in political
campaign is to provide something for
the leaders in the various districts on
which to make their arguments from
day to day. and The Globe did this work
very we'll. indeed. The Globe was GER
tainly in the fight up to the last minute.

The Globe made good fight and is
largely responsible for the election of
johnson. am frank to say that there
was no abuse or villifcation Of Mr..
Dunn in The Globe. It took smart ad-
vantage of the news as it transpired, but
1 saw no sign of personal abuse. 1t
would not be too much to say that no
better newspaper campaign has been
made in this state in years than was
made by The Globe in the governorship
contest, and, although l regret the re-
suit, l do congratulate The Globe on
the fight it made.-F. C. Stevens.
It would be difficult to overestimate
the value of the services of The Globe
in the recent campaign. 1t was ag-
gressive. 1t made no mistakes. 1t had
the faculty to present the facts in a
terse, vigorous style. SO they quickly
caught the eye of the voter. The Globe
furnished the keynote of the CAMPAIGN

The outlook around here is that both
oats and hay will be scarce around here
from now until the next crop is har-
vested.
Horses and stock have begun to stray
loose around the neighbhorhood since
winter set in and those who have hay
and grain in stack find them a nuisance
as well as an expense. Some farmers
threaten to shoot stock if they are not
kept at home. The herd Law in this
state is anything but satisfactory to the
farmers and should be amended by our
Law makers this winter, at least that is
the opinion of your humble correspond

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

The coming session of the legislature
promises to be an exceedingly interest
ing one, and beyond the election of a
United States senator the voters will
desire to keep posted regarding all pro-
posed laws or changes in present laws
and how the members stand on all
questions. The Daily Tribune, of Bis
marck, will have special reporters in
each house and in the lobby and read
ers of that paper will get all the news
more than can possibly be obtained
elsewhere. The paper will be sent from
now until 0the end of the session for
sl-costs no more to begin now than
later on. Send orders to The Tribune.

through thei west. His return is
heartily greeted by old friends.
Now is the time that the ice is on the
pond, but you don't see many of the
boys and girls around here out skating.
John Derkson has gone to the North
west Territories to see if he can find
any land there to suit him. Everyone
here wishes bin the best of luck.
The auction sales held around here
have demonstrated the fact that j.
Schultz is quite regular bidder for
everything that is put up under the
hammer.
Wintry weather has not set IN hard
enough yet to prevent c. Krohn and 1.
Kitchin having what might be termed
just about as much fun as anyone in the
settlement.
The auction sale held lately at the
farm of Jacob Spenst Sr. was given
quite large attendance and every
thing sold at satisfactory figures to
all parties.
Miss Sophie Carsten is now back at
the home of her parents again after hav-
ing been engaged in work for the past
couple of months at the McHugh farm
near Dresden.
We regret very much to have to re-
port that j. Toews has been on the sick
list the greater part of the fall and
winter. His poor health may largely
be attributed to the approach of old
age.
Everybody is wondering what the
name of 1. ". Toew's new baby will be.
All of these interesting additions to the
population of our community furnish
the neighbors with topic that makes
