REPRESENTATIVE CONTEST
TAKING TESTIMONY IN THE CASE
AT BASSETT.
VIM. coRYELL VS.. J. J. cARLIN

Hearing is Being Held Before Hon. L.
X. Alder of Valentine and Hon. F.
N. Morgan of Bassett-Finish After
Christmas.
Bassctt, Neb., Dec 2l.-Special to
The News: The taking of dispositions
in the legislative contest Of VIM. Cory
ell against j. ]. Carlin, incumbent from
the Fifty-first representative district,
was resumed yesterday at Bassett, be-
fore Hon. l.. X. Alder of AinswOrth and
Hon. f. N. Morgan Of this place. The
witnesses examined were called by
the contestants and it will take all
day to finish with their testimony.
While contestant withdraws all of his
allegations of fraud, the examination
of his witnesses developed many mis-
takes in the count in Brown county.
Mr. A. w. Scattergood, attorney for
contestant, stated to your correspon-
dent that 1T is too early to prophesy
accurately the results, but now claims
enough mistakes in the count to
change the results and to seat Mr.
Coryell.
1t appears that in Brown county the
peoples Independent legislative dele
cation failed to endorse Carlin, the
democratic candidate, or at least did
not so certify to the county clerk, so
Mr. Carlins name appeared on the
ticket as the democratic candidate
only. Yet it Is claimed by contest
ants witnesses that when they found
a straight peoples independent ticket
| they counted 1t for Carlin, by mistake,
not thinking but that he was endorsed
as were all other democratic candi-
dates. Again in Rock county, the tick
ct showed Mr.. Carlin as the nominee
of both democratic and peoples indie
pendent conventions. While contest
ant claims that the peoples indepen-
dent never filed with the county clerk
any certificate of nomination, but that
the deputy county clerk, j. r. AFTER,
been made, placed Carlin on the ticket
as such fusion nominee. Testimony
will be resumed today and then ad-
journ to the Goth, when Mr.. Carlin will
make his showing.
1t would appear that recount will
result in Coryell's being seated, as
Carlin only had seventeen majority,
and if the independent vote is not to
be counted for him in Brown county
it surely means his defeat.

Town Has no Water System Little
Could be Done to Save il.
Newman Grove, Neb., Dec. 24.-Spe-
cial to The News: The electric light
plant at Lindsay was burned early yes
terday morning. The origin of the fire
is unknown and the loss is not given.
Lindsay is about six miles east of New
man Grove.
The burned plant had just been com
pleted and the lights turned on for the
first time last Tuesday. Lindsay has
no fire protection so that all that could
be done was to fight the flames with
bucket brigade, which proved inef-
fective, and the building was totally
destroyed and much of the machinery
damaged
The plant will be rebuilt at once.

by which labor unions seek to tie the
hands of our courts and prevent the issue
OF any order to restrain the members of
that trust from attacking men or de-
stroying property. Such a bill is per-
haps the most Infamous insult to our
courts and the common people ever laid
before Congress and the Representatives
In Congress must be held to strict ac-
copntability for their acts relating
thereto. But when bills come bef>re
Congress that are drawn in the interest
OF all the people they should receive the
active personal support of the people
and the representative be instructed
by the citizens. The Senators also
should be written to and instructed. If,
therefore, you will remember your priv
ilege and duty you will at once-now-
write to your Congressman and Senator
on this pure food bill. Clip and enclose
the copy herewith presented and ask
them to make business of following it
through the committee considering it.
Urge its being brought to vote and re-
questing that they vote for it.

facturer seeking by example, printing on

pie, and establishing an era of pure food.
but that procedure has not yet forced
those who adulterate and deceive to
change their methods hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show way
out of the presentcondition Of fraud, de-
ceit and harm.
The undersigned Is paying to the pub
llshers OF America about $20,O0O.00 to
print this announcement in practically
all OF the great papers and magazines, in
the conduct of what he chooses to term,
IAN educational campaign" esteemed to
be OF greater direct value to the people
than the establishments of many libraries.
That is held to be a worthy method of
using money for the public good. Tell
the people facts, show them way to
help themselves and rely upon them to
act intelligently and effectively.

The people have allowed the slow mur-
der of infants and adults, by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go on
about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to go per-
sonally to Washington to impress your
congressman, but you can, in most ef-
fective way tell him by letter how you
desire him to represent you. i.
Remember the Congressman is in Con-
gress to represent the people from his
district and IL goodly number of citi-
zens express their views to him, he se-
cures very sure guide to duty. Remem-
ber also that the safety of the people is
assured by insisting that the will of the
people be carried out, and not the ma
chinations Of the few for selfish inter-

Many pure food bills have been intro
duced and some passed by State legisla-
lures; many have been offered to Con-
gress but all thus far seem Objectionable.
It has seemed difficult for politicians to
formulate a satisfactory bill that would
protect the common people and yet avoid
harm to honest makers and prevent end
less trouble to retailers. No govt COM
mission or officer has the right to fix
flood standards" to define what the peo-
pie shall and shall not eat, for what agrees
with one may not agree with another and
such act would deprive the common
citizen of his personal liberty. The
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, perhaps the
largest makers of prepared foods in the
world, have naturally a close knowledge
of the needs of the people and the details
of the business of the rpurveyors, (the
retail grocery and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submission
to Congress which is intended to accom-
plish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a
citizen of the u. S. has right to food
protection even when he enters another
State it is deemed proper tnat the govt
take control of this matter and provide
national law to govern all the states. A
copy of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec. governs the maker whether the
food is put up In small packages sealed,
or in barrels, boxes or otherwise.
.Sec.. 2 governs the retailer who may
open, a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities: When he puts the
goods into paper bag he must also
enclose printed copy of the statement
Of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the
reailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as a
guarantee of his selling the food as it is
represented to him which relieves. the
retailer of responsibility of the truth of
the statement and throws it upon the
maker, where it properly belongs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning of it's
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact statement
of what the contents were made of in Or
der that the consumer might know pre-
cisely what he or she was eating. A per-
son desiring to buy, for instance, strictly
pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the
price has right to expect not only an
equivalent for the cost but further right
to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he
may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly
made part of fruit juices, sugar and
portion Of glucose. But he must be sup
piled with truthful Information Of the
ingredients and be permitted to use his
personal liberty to select his own food

about 300, 900 to 400, 900 of yearling
and aged wethers in the Territory

ed, leaving 1850, 900 head of ewes.

Tie demand for New Mexican sheep
by the packers and feeders nas been
far in excess of the supply. 1t is a
well-know1 fact that sheep from New
Mexico will dress out more pounds
of meat than any stock from other
sections of the United States. There
is much less waste when sheep are
killed tnan results from those of the
northern Territories. and for this rea-
sol the sheep from New Mexico are
preferred to all others. The demand
for New Mexico sheep this year is
greater than it has V e been in the
past. Sheep buyers are now in all
sections of New Mexico trying to con-
tract the 5-months' lambs at Az to 5
cents per pound, which will net the
growers from $2.75 to 1915 per head.
These prices are made for the sheep
on the ranges where they are run.
At this time buyers are in the Terri
tory from Colorado, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri, and Illinois, who are
eagerly competing with each other for
the lambs born this season.
