Ramsey County
Conventions ii \,

The Ramsey county central com
mittee held meeting at the court
house Saturday afternoon last, at
which all members were represented
in person or by proxy. Chairman
Watt presided.
Pat Merton, Jr.. the statesman,
lawyer and collection agent for the
International Harvester company,
who claims Bartlett as his home, was
90 hand with a proxy sigGed by Mr.,
Wilson. formerly Of Doyon. but now
Of Sioux City, Iowa. Pat had on q
full head Of steam and was ready to
demonstrate his ability as boss
buster. At previous meeting Of
the committee vasancy was declared
to exist on account of Mr.. Wilson 8
removal from the county and state and
at the request OF Geo. McLaip and NJ.
.. Simenstad. the remaining mem
bers of the committee from that dis
trict q. II. Doyon was elected to fill
the vacancy.
James Mccormick was anxious to
have the Wilson proxy admitted. A
committee was selected to look into
the affairs, and after due deliberation
they reported that Mr.. Doyon was
entitled to the seat. which report was
adopted by the committee by vote of
8 to 6.
Mccormick wanted mass con-
vention held for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the nationsl conven-
tion. This motion was opposed by g..
w. q. Davis, who insisted upon a
fair representation of the country.
He set up the claim that if d mass
convention were held the court house
woull be filed by people in Devils
Lake who could control the conven-
tion, and IN this way the country
would be deprived of a just and fair
representation. The Mccormick idea
was voted down and delegate con
vention was called for April 80, the
primaries to be held on April 20 from
5 to I p. m.
The convention to elect delegate
to the state convention at Grand
Forks. which dominates candidates

Convention, and for the purpose OF
nominating candidates for the legis.
lature, and one candidate for state
senator, was called for June IS at . p.
M. The primaries for this convention
were ordered held June 10 from q to 5
p. 10. at the usual places of voting
q. W. 81. Davis made fight for
extra representation for Starkweather,
Edmore and Crary, voting precincts
which have been organized since the
last election. IL was agreed to give
starkweather 9 delegates, ,Edmore 8,
Crary 2. 5 81. 4
The meeting was harmonious
throughout, EXCEPT for the little div
ersion of the statesman from Penn
, who invariably opposed everything
and insisted upon ballot most of the
, time ard resulted in showing q
strength Of 6 to g.
The convention to nominate candi-
dates for county officers was not called
at this meeting. The committee will
meet june IS for the purpose of cal
ling the convention.

This is the year the farmers are
economizing and spending their money
where they can get the best values for
their Investment. It is poor consola-
tion to buy piece Of farm machinery
which is won out by the time pay
ment for tue same comes due. The
stock Of farm machinery of Russell &
Schultz is not only of the pest makes,
but it is all new-and that helps
some.
The people living in the new vot.
ing precincts of Starkweather, Edmore
and Crary feel very kindly toward
Representative Davis who made sue
cessful fight for recognition Of these
precincts in the next county conven.
tion. They were accorded really
more than they were entitled to fol
the reason that other parts of the
county has increased in population
during the past two years.. The re-
presentation of these precincts was
based IN the vote cast this spring for
village Offices. On the same basis
Devils Lake would. be enlisted to sew
teral more delegates. Mi. Davis,
however, is always on the lookou, fol
the interests of the country, and he is
not to be blamed for getting all he
can-and he got it SO easy, too.

Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident is narrated
by John Oliver, of Philadelphia,
as follows: 81 was in an awful
condition. My skin was almost
yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coat
ed, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, growing weak
er day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Then I was
advised to use Electric Bitters !;
to my great joy, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three
weeks, and am now a well man.
I know they robbed the grave of
another victim" No one should
fail to try them. Only so cents

Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that is the order Of woman g pref
erences. Jewels form a magnetic
mighty power to the average wo-
man. Even that greatest Of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in
the strenuous effort to save the
money to purchase them. If a
woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her fortify
herself against the insiduous con-
sequences of coughs, colds and

use of DR.. Boschee's German Syr-
up. 1t will promptly arrest con.
sumption in its early stages and
heal the affected lungs and bron-

Latest Fad.

The newest fad out is a picture
of your sweetheart on your finger
nail. The nail picture is made by
a very delicate Photographic
process, and is indelible. So some
young women, who are certain
they love and can never love
again, have had the. picture of
their sweethearts photographed
on their thin, pink, translucent lit
tie nails. But the flower OF love
often withers. So it is lucky that
the human nail grows. And I'M
less a woman or man chooses to
wear the nails a la Chinois pho
tograph on one of them is bound
to disappear. This fact has en-
couraged fiirts, women and men,
to adopt the fad and to decorate
their nails with the features OF
their "newest flames. " /
