The Minot convention settles moth
ing so far as the candidates for the
senate are concerned. 1t has been the
intention of Mckenzie and his cohorts
to make as much of a showing Of pow
er as possible at this time in the be-
lief that in this way they can scare
the people of the state into line for
Little. 1t is an assured fact that con-
siderably over half of the people of
the state are against Mckenzie and his
corporation allies domination, but If
they can make the people of this state
believe that Mckenzie can by word
of command force the voters to do his
bidding and support any candidate he
may suggest, it will give him some
prestige in the future. Candidates who
have in the past been forced to bow
to Mckenzie because he controlled
conventions are fast DESERVING his
ranks and appealing to the people di.
rect and the hoodo of his power is
practically set to naught

Band Stand is Built

Permission has been granted to the
Eagles band to erect their band stand
on the Jacobson estate site on the cor
ner Of Fifty and Kelly avenue. This
is an ideal location and all the ar
rangements are now complete for the
erection Of the stand and work will
start at once. Alderman Halgren came
to the rescue at the eleventh hour
and guaranteed the lumber for the
stand and in all probability Mr.. Ker-
lin will install number of lights on
the platform for the benefit of the
band. The people of Devils Lake will
be treated to fine music this summer
and after the band stand is erected
the musicians will not be handicapped
as previously, and will be able to give
much better account of themselves,

that many times IKE children are not

have and also that the whole life of the

This may all sound good but there :

theory that it surely would not be con-.

the poor classes in order to own a
