Political Issues Discussed.

About hundred voters turned out
last evening to listen to some phases of
the political situation in this state as
discussed by Hon. G. M. Young of
Valley City, and Hon. Andrew Miller,
of Bismarck. the gentlemen were
making tour of the state in an auto,
but owing to the heavy rains of Tues
day night the auto was left at LaMoure
and they arrived from there by train
yesterday afternoon. Necessarily some
of their dates in this county had to be
cancelled.
The Times has not the space this
morning to give a synopsis of their
speeches in the opera house here, but
will go into the subject from time to
time between now and the primaries.
The paramount issue in this campaign,
they said, was whether the people
would be dictated to in their political
matters by the agents of public-service
corporations or whether they would
take the matter into their own hands.
The speakers were listened to atten-
lively and what they said was well re-
ceived.

TOM is GETTING BUSY
Congressman Marshall Back from Washing.
and Piun1es into Campaign.

Vx00RS& (AmD21R0.
Congressman Tom Marshall, after
two or three days at home, left for the
northwestern part of the state Tues
day, to take up actively his campaign.
Before leaving the congressman said:
II never felt better in my life and
am full of courage as far as the cam
paign is concerned. After the smoke
of the battle at Minot had cleared can
truthfully say that l am greatly en-
couraged. UP to the time Of the con-
vention I was, more or less, hampered,
but from now on am free to push my
individual campaign. l met hundreds
of supporters from every part of the
state there and it was apparent to all
that my support is state wide. 1t is in
no sense spotted. l have good loyal
workers in every county and in almost
every precinct. My own section of the
state stands by me solidly and my vote
in my home county will be fully up to
the total of the republican vote here.
81 am receiving numerous offers of
support from unexpected quarters and
there is no question but what I am in
the lead of the senatorial candidates.
Proof of this is found in the fact that
every move of the opposition indicates
that they realize fully my superior
strength.
"My entire time before the primaries
will be devoted to my campaign and
will cover the state as rapidly as pos
sible."

THE NEW oAKEs NATIONAL BANK BLOCK.

same size at considerable less cost,
but as the four corners on which this
building is to be located will al
ways be the business center of the CITY
it was deemed advisable to put the
building up of the very best construc-
tion possible and little expense has
been spared in making this a business
block to which all Oakes residents NAV
point with pride and which will be an
other illustration of the faith of Oakes
business men in the future of this CITY.
The Oakes National Bank was organ
lied in 1908 with capital of $25, 900 to,
which has since been added a surplus
fund of $4,000 in addition to the pay-
ment of substantial dividends. Each
year has witnessed steady and sub
stantlal growth in volume of business
transacted and, although the present
quarters, are ample for present needs,
it is only question of short time
when more room will be required for
the business and it was deemed advis-
able to make the change while it was
possible to secure a corner location
which is more desirable for an office
building than an inside lot on account
of the better opportunity which a
corner building affords in the way of
light and ventilation.
The new offices of the bank will have
corner entrance which will open in
toa commodious lobby at one end of which
will be direct entrance to the custo-
mers' room which will communicate
directly with the customers vault and
toilet rooms. The president and CASH
Ter will occupy open Offices at the front

The contract was let May 9Th to
r. K. Hafsos of Aberdeen for the con-
struction of the new Oakes National
Bank block to be erected in block 8 at
the corner of Union and Second streets.
The contract for the general construc-
tion work was let for $28,244, which,
with the additional cost of plumbing and
heating plants will make the entire cost
of the block approximate $35, 900. The
building will have a frontage on
Union street of rs feet and depth of
80 feet. The material will be pressed
brick with trimming of Kettle River
stone. The first 25 feet frontage on
Union street will be owned and occu-
pied by the Oakes National Bank, the
second Is feet frontage will be owned
by 3. j. Walton and probably occupied
by the j. w. Bush hardware store and
the third building will be owned by
ace Clothing House. The basement Of
the corner building will be finished and
rented for business purposes and the
second floors of all the buildings will be
finished and occupied as offices and flats.
The completion Of this building will
add one more to the number of excellent
business blocks of which Oakes feels
justly proud and this structure will be
one which will have few equals in the
state in point of beauty of architecture
and perfection in construction. The
construction of the block is somewhat
better than the present requirements
of the city demand and the owners of
this property could have erected a
building along cheaper lines of the

and rear of the main banking room.
The banking room will be finished in
birch with plaster beamed ceilings and
a mahogany counter. The wainscoat-
ing and counter base will be of white
Italian marble with green verde marble
base and counter top. Each of the
store buildings will be finished in red
oak and all of the second floors in birch
mahogany stained.
Mr.. S. Friedman, proprietor of the
Palace Clothing House, began business
in Oakes in 1903 and has handled line
Of clothing and gents furnishing goods
since that time to which was added a
large stock of shoes in 1906. The
Palace Clothing House, under Mr..
Friedman's management, has gained
reputation for fair and square dealing
which would be valuable asset to any
firm and on this reputation and with
the high class of goods handled by the
Palace. Mr.. Friedman has built up
magnificent business. When located
in the new building the Palace will be
better equipped to handle its large and
growing trade and with the close at
tention which Mr.. Friedman has al
ways given his trade the volume of
business will doubtless increase at a
more rapid rate than in the past.
The public spirit manifested by the
business men interested in the con-
struction of these buildings is worthy
of commentator and should furnish an
incentive to others in adding further
improvements to the city to the end
that we may have greater Oakes.

Convention Notes.

The Dickey county delegation voted
with the progressives on all PROPOSE
tions.
Alex. Mckenzie is again "vindi-
Gated" We suppose he will come up
for another vindication two years
hence.
The Potter delegation from Dickey
county were allowed in the convention
hall wearing q ''press" badge. This
was the way of getting the Mckenzie
partisans into the hall this year. Two
years ago Sergeant at Arms was
the only thing that allowed of admis-
sion.
Geo. H. Keyes was promised a chance
to 60 to Chicago as delegate if he
could carry Dickey county, but as he
could not carry his county and Potter
could not seat his delegation the very
best Alex. could do for them was to
give Geo. Keyes a place as alternate
from the Fourth district.
There was considerable rallying
around the candidates for United States
senatorship, and it could easily be seen
lead. If Tom does not get the nee

will not lack many votes. The votes
in the western counties will be mainly
divided between Marshall and Hans
brough. Little at the present time is
low man in the race.
When it comes to making extempor-
aneous speeches Mayor Clark of Minot
is the best ever. He made short
speech, while the convention was wait
ing for the committees to report, and
he carried the convention clear off it's
feet. Mr.. Clark is editor of the Minot
Reporter and was elected mayor at the
spring election after hard fight. He
is making good as mayor and as a
booster has few equals.
It was hard to tell whom the stall
warts would put up for national commit
teeman: The place had been promised
to Jim Kennedy, but they were doubt
full as to- what action the convention
would take if the names Of Sprague
and Kennedy were put up as opposing
Candidates. AS soon as the convention
adjourned, however, the delegates
met and elected Kennedy to the pos
ition. Query? Why were the stall
VAAo SAVkV6AIAVuS
One Of the laughable incidents of the
convention was the occupying of the
same room by Tom Marshall and M. N.
johnson. johnson arrived at Minot
first and was assigned to room 224 in
the Leland. Marshall reached there
direct from Washington at one o'clock
Tuesday night. Joe Divine had seen
about engaging room for him and on
arrival Mr.. Marshall asked to be shown
up. The hotel clerk informed him that
he would have to share his room with
another man as they were crowded and
on further inquiry it developed that
the bedfellow was none other than
M. N. johnson, one of the candidates
for the United States senate. Before
long both We're in the same room and
in in the same bed snoozing happily and
they occupied the same quarters during
their stay in Minot. 1t created quite a
little merriment around the hotel cor
ridors.

Two Conventions for Oakes.

Two conventions are scheduled for

dent.

point at issue, the selection of ma
tional committeeman, come on the
p rogram while all the delegates were
present and on vote the stalwart
program was adopted by the vote of
266 to $50.
The third test came under the head
of miscellaneous business when the pro-
gressives brought out the name of
Frank A. Sprague of Grafton for
national committeeman as against leav-
ing the choice for this position to the
delegation elected to Chicago. BY a
vote, $50 to 1873, the convention decided
to leave the matter to the national dele
gates.
The following is the vote on the last
propositions:

ton to Oakes High School.
Miss Beatrice Smith. Principal Of Our Schools,
Accompanied the Contestant and Was
Well Pleased With Their Treatment.

To the ninth annual declamatory con-
test at Grand Forks twenty schools
from the state sent representatives.
For the first time this year boys and
girls prizes were awarded discontinuing
the practice of competing against each
other. Two preliminary contests were
held for the girls from each of which
two girls were chosen to speak in the
evening. AS there were only four boys
contesting no preliminary was held for
them. The program for the evening
was as follows:

Judges for young men-Rev. ]. H.
Batten, Mr.. Sidney Clark, Mr.. H. L.
Whithed.
President Merrifeld presided. The
judges were people of eminent literary
ability, Mrs. Cooley being an author
of text books in English.
Faculty, pupils and patrons feel very
proud of our representative at Grand
Forks and well they may, not only from
standpoint of honor won but from
the fact that not once were we be-
trayed in the confidence which we
placed in Miss Smith. On the train, in
the hotels in the streets with the other
contestants she was always the same
perfect lady. In her kind solicitude
for the unsuccessful candidates, the
words recurred to us often "kind hearts
are more than coronets." In every
way we can be proud of our contestant.
Had Miss Smith won in the prelimin-
aries alone, the honor to herself and to
the school would have been great as
she strove against no mean contestants.
One of the judges in the preliminaries
praised her work very highly saying
that her gesticulation was perfect.
After the final Mrs. Cooley spoke in
very high terms of her work in general,
but commended especially her perfec-
tion of gesticulation and naturalness of
gestures. Miss Smiths marks were
SO, 95 and 100.
There was no mistake about marks
in the girls contest but it was thought
that the tellers made mistake in the
boys. If there was one it will be an
nounced officially later.
In honor of Miss Sunie Smith an auto
party was given after school hours on
Monday and many of the school children
enjoyed the treat, along with the
teachers and board of education. The
autos had flags flying and the children
made the air ring with their series of
yells of which the following is sample:

republicans, with one or two omissions,
and the inserting of one or two planks
