we S1dnQ LOT Sd16 advertising,
Any other kind is unnecessary.
The day when advertising was specu-
1ation is over for the man who knows.
A newspaper campaign can be proved
out in six towns just as we'll as in six hum

A magazine campaign can be proved in
six mediums just as well as in sixty.

to a certainty what the results will be.
going to spend?
Though our revenue, as with all agents,
is a commission, paid largely to us by
magazines and newspapers, on the ex-
penditure.
We ask ourselves, rather, What are the
possibilities?
And we accept or refuse an account on
our Judgment of them.
We can do this because we command
the ability to make a success of any
thing possible.
We are willing to abide by results.
The largest accounts we have were
started with small expenditures.
On many, we spent ten times our COM
mission in working out the first cam
paign.
Each dollar spent came back with a
profit. We proved it beyond any ques-
ton.
Then the advertiser, naturally, spent
all the dollars he could.
We are ready to do the same with you,
if your line has possibilities.
We have spent 35 years in advertising.
Yet every week we learn something
new of what it can do.
Note how advertising has multiplied in
the past few years.
Note the vast variety of little and big
things now being made to pay.
Ten years ago most of these things
seemed impossible.
Hundreds of these new accounts, in I'M
explored fields, are due to our develop
ments
We have done so many things, never
done before, that we have come to be-
1ieve that almost anything can now be
done by advertising.
But it cannot be done, in these days,
without experience and ability.

CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.

Congressman Halvor. Steener-
son of Crookston, was a visitor at
Republican State headquarters in
St. Paul today, comforting with
Chairman Brown and Secretary
Martin.
There is very decided
change in political sentiment in
the Ninth district" said Mr..
Stevenson in an interview, com
pared with two years ago. Many
who were Johnson Republicans,
are now lined up for the Repub-
lican ticket from top to bottom.
1t is generally recognized in my
district at least, that Johnson is
not running for governor this
year for any other reason than
to carry the Democratic party
and Bryan, if possible, through
the coming election in Minnesota.
No Republican can vote for him
this fall as a candidate who is
supporting the Rooseveltian plat
form and beliefs. Johnson can
not parade a letter from Roose-
welt this time, as he did two
years ago, to catch Republican
votes. He is now, and must so
stand, an out and out apostle Of
Democracy and things Demo-
cratic, including Bryan and Bry-
anism this time, instead of Roose-
welt and a Rooseveltian platform.
I'm the Ninth district | find
that Jacobson is especially strong
throughout the rural districts.
Jacobson has been the choice Of
the farmers for several years for
governor. They now have him,
and will stand by him. This be
ing presidential year, voters will
not allow personalities to infu-
ence their votes. They recognize
that national issues are at stake.
"Bryan's speech at Crookston
was a great disappointment. He
actually lost ground there for
Democracy. Thousands of people
were there to hear him, and wait
ed till 10 p. m. before he appeared.
The address was a narrow appeal
to farmers, a harangue, trying to
prejudice them against Republic
anism. 1t didn't take at all.
Only once was there the slightest
symptoms of applause. He spoke
to silent, disappointed, audi
ence. minneapolis Tribune.

PRIMARIES
Vote in Ely Very Light
Tuesday
Strangely Said, Some Sur
prises Sprung

The long-looked for primary
election has went. Ely did not
cast it's usual vote, the average man
not seeming to understand that his
vote was required for nomination.
The same condition applies
throughout the entire country.
The most surprising runs in the
whole list were those of c. B. Mil
Ter and Judge Martin. Ely had
always been tabulated as Bede
stronghold but Miller broke the
slate. Judge Martin of Virginia,
who aspired to the position of
Clerk of the Court, was compar-
atively unknown here, yet he made
one of the strongest runs On the
ticket against the present incum-
bent, J. P. Johnson.
The polls opened at six O'Clock
a. m. and closed at 9 O'Clock p. m.
17o ballots were cast in the First
ward, one of which was a Demo
cratic ballot. The Second ward
cast Al and the Third 116. Two
Democratic tickets were voted in
the Second ward and two in the
Third. One Public Ownership
ticket was cast in the city, in the
Third ward. The vote by wards
was as follows:

WILL FOUND IN AN Old TRUNK.
Nineiand, N. -, Jnearths q Mystery, and
Maybe a Crime,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. i4.-By the dis
covery in an old trunk OF will disposing
OF considerable property and dozen
photographs OF man supposed to be the
testator, II. c. Harvey, retired business
man of Vineland, n. j., believes he has
unearthed a mystery which may have
hidden for twenty years an impo rtant
story.
When Mr.. Harvey cleaned out the store
room Of his old building, 12e South Sixth
street. this city, he found the trunk, one
OF antiquated pattern. which apparently
had been there for years. 1t was learned
that eighteen years ago stra niger asked
the janitress of the Harvey building late
one night il he might leave the trunk
there overnight. He never returned
and the trunk was forgotten until the
bu ilding changed hands.
In the trunk were found a quantity Of
clothing. several letters and will signed
by Edward w. Jewett. There were also
the photographs supposed to be those Of
Jewett.
The will was written in 1887, by White
and Simmons. attorneys in Buffalo. 1t
bequeathed SIS a month TO Edward NJ.
Jewett, father of the testator, and the
remainder of the estate, the value OF
which was not mentioned. to Juliet Jewett,
his sister.
According to papers in the trunk Jewett
was a member Of Washington Lodge No
"a F. and A NJ, of Few York 1t ap-
peared also that he was engaged In mica
mining in California and owned several
hundred acres of land and many valu-
able houses in and around Buffalo.

Daughters OF the Confederacy Had u
Right Smart Debate About IL.

ATLANTA Nov. 4.-After bitter debate,
which at times became almost riotous.
the national convention Of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy voted this
afternoon to admit Northern women TO
membership. The daughters became so
excited in their discussion that chairman
was named in each delegation to keep
order. and even this step was not effective.
The trouble lay in the proposition as
to whether Northern women who are the
wives of Confederate veterans or their
lineal descendants and who desire to be
admitted to the United Daughters of the
Confederacy should be received.
Mrs. James Henry Parker, president
OF the New York chapter, the next to the
