HOltVlIle Mass Meeting

On last Saturday afternoon a mass meeting of the people sf the Eastslde was called for the purpose of forming a voters league for the promotion of the political interests of the Eastslde. A large number of voters were present and officers were elected as follows: pr. C. T. Greenleaf, chairman and Ed. E. Boyd. secretary and an executive committee of five members was ap- pointed by the chairman.
 As HoltVllle Is not a candidate for the new county seat 1t was decided that the league would devote Its entire strength to the promotion of proper candidates for the offices of the pro- posed new county of Imperial and see that all eligible voters were registered
 Upon motion of F. N Chaplin, duly seconded, 1t was unanimously resolved that Franklin J Cole be endorsed for the office of judge of the superior court and that a committee of five members of the league be appointed to confer with committees and cit zens of other parts of the valley for the pur- pose of securing like endorsement.
 Much interest and enthusiasm was shown and 1t Is very evident that Holt vile and vicinity will take an active part in the campaign now at hand. It was voted that the league hold regular weekly meetings

Change for twenty or thirty years say
they have never witnessed anything

no q of estimating the volume Of

Underlying the present speculative
a is the belief that there will be
l serious shortage Of bread supplies
the world over this season., owing to
heavy crop losses both in this country
and Europe. The present indications
are that the United States and Canada
will have a greatly reduced eXportable
surplus. The weather in the North
west still is so cold as to retard the
work Of seeding, and each day of delay
row mean a further reduction in the
acreage. '.
Little wheat has beer seeded In Min
Ieapolis and North Dakota north OF
Fargo. Only about two-thirds the
crop has beer seeded on the Preston
and Dalrymple farms in the Red Riv-
er valley and the owners. say they will
not seed any more. This means a+heayy
spring wheat shortage in this country.
Such wheat as is seeded in the south

Dakota is laying unsprOuted and much

Isaac Stephenson of Marinette upon
the first ballot Thursday night was
made the Republican -nominee, for Uni
ted States Senator from Wisconsin.
The final selection vas marked by sen
sational episodes. The vote had been
taken and still lacked several of the
requisite ffty-two, when Assemblyman
Goldsworthy, who had been comforting
with Lieut.. Gov. Conner, came into the
room and asked If it was too late to
cast a vote. Goldsworthy Wednesday
pladged his vote to Hatten. The clerk
was instructed to call his name and he
announced his choice to be Stephenson,
his announcement being greeted with
applause by the Stephenson men. Other
votes then swung to Stephenson and
gave him the nomination.
Following are features Of Isaac Ste
rhenson's remarkable career

for years and corrupted scores of pub
