There seems to have been a mixup
in dates between the Fargo and Win
nipeg fair people. Before any dates
were selected, President Scott wrote
the Winnipeg managers asking when
they were to hold their exposition at
the Manitoba metropolis. They re-
piled, the last week in July" The
Fargo people thereupon selected the
third week in July and, at once be-
gan advertising the same. The Win
nipeg people later selected the same
dates. Now the Winnipeg managers
are kicking. but they have no one to
blame but themselves.
Secretary Wilson informs the writer
that. owing to some dissatisfaction
with the managers of the Winnipeg fair
a number of entries for the races there
have been cancelled by the horsemen,
and that he has secured the string of
horses for the Fargo fair. He says
that Grand Forks can get these same
horses for the races at the fair there
if the management will get into COM
munication with him at once
Fargo is expecting Grand Forks day
to be the largest and best of the fair
and they will not be disappointed.
The street car line has been extend
ed to the fair grounds, and the serv-
ice will he ample to handle the large
crowds daily.
Manager Plumley of the Forum con-
templates making many important
improvements in his paper which he
confidently anticipates will place it
far in advance of any paper in the
state. The Forum certainly deserves
the geat prosperity it is now enjoying.
Jud Jordan. the fearless and able
editor of the Morning Call. will take
his position in the local land Office on
August l. He will erect new home
for the Call, add new machinery and
more complete news service that will
place the paper in advance of any other
paper occupying the morning field in
the state. The talk of the new insur-
gent morning paper in Fargo does
not scare Jud in the least. He says
if it is started, he will make the pro-
moters spend money faster than they
can dig it up. Jordan has, spent his
whole life in the newspaper harness
and knows what's what.
Speaking of insurgents, it was
Frank Lynch who threw such scare
into the stalwart camp at the primar-
les held recently when he came so near
carrying Cass county for the insur-
gents. He came down to Fargo with
about 600 majority for his delegation
which resulted in the election of him
self and nine of his colleagues to the
jamestown convention. Lynch is
striking personality and a man that
will have to be taken into considera-
ton by republicans in North Dakota
before long. He is small of stature,
but large of intellect and fighting
ability. He left Plainview, MINI,
twenty-five years ago and located in
Casselton with little means and start
ed in the farm machinery business.
Since then he has amassed a fortune
of over half a million dollars, but dur
ing all the years spent in acquiring
this snug amount, he has found con-
siderable time to devote to politics in
every campaign, spending his money
literally for the political advancement
of his friends or of some idea that he
believed would be of benefit to all the
people. But he has always been a
republican, and says that no matter
what the convention at jamestown
does, he will support the ticket.
Lynch is mild hammered man. He
would not cut a throat nor scuttle a
ship, but in that small package of
humanity there is enough political
dynamite to blow up a whole state,
and that Is what is likely to happen
some day and the possibilities are the
explosion will land Lynch in the gov
ernor's chair. He is strong advocate
of the enforcement of the prohibition
law, liberal giver to educational
and religious institutions, but above
all his popularity comes from his I'M
firing and unselfish devotion to his
friends.
