No Second Choice.

1.-THE delegates will be instructed to
vote for Secretary Taft, and they will
not have any second choice. There is
not a Republican in Alabama who Is
not an enthusiastic Taft man, and
I'm not so sure that We have not Il
big bunch of Democrats down our way
who will give their votes for the sec
rotary of war.
I'VE gave $4,000 votes to President
Roosevelt from Alabama, and our par.
ty has grown tremendously in strength
since then. may say that among the
business people that. If you scratch a
Democrat. you are very likely to find n
Republican. and with them as with
the professed Republicans. Taft is the
word and Taft is the man. The Re-
publican party in Alabama has not
thought OF any other candidate.
Governor Hughes? No, not now /
have no doubt the governor of this
State is n very excellent man, and
while do not wish to say anything
about him, must say that to us as
to the country at large he is practi-
cally an unknown man. He is not in
the national eye. Secretary Taft Is.
He is not mere local man; he is ii
man known to all the nation. stand,
ing in the forefront, man indeed Of
international greatness.
Secretary Taft is man dIstin-
guished before the world man who
has served his country with dignity
and success. He is the big man of
our country to-day.
II pin my faith solely In Secretary
Taft: my State is for him; the. South
is for him. although l have no right to
speak for any State but my own. Taft
is the only man before the nation. and
we take 20 one else into consideration
we do not doubt Republican victory
and we hail Secretary Taft as on:

Additional Editorial.

The Fargo State Fair management
announces better and bigger fair than
ever for this year, and judging from
the premium list just issued and the
announcement on the next page Of this
issue, we are forced to conclude that
such is indeed fact. The fairs held
at Fargo for the past two years have,
each in turn, proved that the Fargo
Association means to give the people
the best show that money, push and en-
ergy can command, so that when they
announce something better than ever
for this year, we feel no hesitancy in
saying to our readers, that they will
see something novel, instructive and
amusing during the week Of July 1925
at Fargo State Fair, and our advice to
all is, to arrange their affairs so that
they and their families may enjoy a
week Of thorough recreation at Fargo
during the Fair.

THE EXPERT SHOEMAKER.

Usually He Can Tell by Customers
Shoes Where the Customer Lives.
The expert shoemaker is in his way
q sort of Sherlock Holmes; he can
tell by looking at a customers shoes
something about where the customer
lives, and this not by mud on the
shoes or the absence Of it, or any such
commonplace evidence as that, but by
the manner in which the shoes show
wear. But he is not infallible.
Here, for instance, is a woman who
wears the soles of her shoes very thin
up at their forward end, at their very
tips, there. at the toe; and to her:
''You live in the country" says the
. shoe expert.
: NO." says the woman. II live in
the city. Why did you think I lived
in the country?"
because your shoes are worn SO. at
the toes. thought you walked on
macadam roads,"
So here the expert slipped, misled
in this case by not making due allow.
ance for habit of these shoes wear.
or; tut usually he can tell.
