The elevators at Lennon are
proving ad oculos the reason for
their existence. The roads lead
ing to town, especially from the
north are worn broad and black
by the many loads of grain that
now find their way hither for
market. Many of these people
come from the Cannonball, and
even beyond, Lennon being
given the benefit as to distance
over against Northern Pacific
points. AS high as eighty loads
have been marketed here in a
single day, and rarely do the re-
ceipts fall below fifty loads.

Burke won out by a majority Of
barely 5,OOO-but enough is as
good as a mile.
Big Ward county gave Burke a
majority Of 1000 over Johnson,
whose residence is in that county.
Marshall had a handsome major
ity of 1,50O there.
Tom Marshall and NJ. N. John
son ran very, very close, and at
this writing it is not safe to say
who is endorsed for election. Mr..
Marshall does not admit defeat,
but admits that an official count
will probably be necessary to de-
termine the point. His was a
splendid single handed campaign,
but he had to fight the combined
interests of the Republican mach
inc and the railroads.
The election in Missouri is very
close-both parties claim the vic
tory. But it is granted that Taft
won out where folks have to be
shown.
And now the Dems have it that
Gov. John Burke will be North
Dakota's next senator.
Eighteen of the % election pre-
cincts of Butte county have rolled
up a fine majority of 726 for div
ision. The remaining IL are not
likely to reduce this splendid
showing very much, if at all.

Cannon triumphantly to Congress

John Burke is governor for
two years more in North Dakota.
Every good Republican bows to
the decree of the majority
though we still claim, the Repub-
lican choice of c. A. Johnson for
governor needed no apology. We
know from the record which
John Burke has made during the
two years just past, that he will
make a splendid executive, fitted
in heart head and hand for the
office, and compliment him,
though we labored for the other
fellow, upon his brilliant victory
and the confidence harbored by
the state towards him, which
the result Of the election evinces.
County Option failed to pass
muster in South Dakota.
Does anybody want any more
evidence of the perniciousness of
the continuance of obsolete Butte
county and its long arm manage
ment. Look to Seim, the oldest
community of Northern BUTT.
When the polls We're opened, there
were found to be on hand thirty
official ballots thirty ballots, and
at least 2OO bona fida voters in
the precinct. Down there the
people voted with a vengeance.
Specimen ballots were used until
they ran out, and then voters
wrote their own ballots on wrapp-
ing paper, tomato can wrappers
and any other old material that
would bear the impress of a pen
Gil. Some thirty voters found
themselves disfranchised through
the criminal negligence of the
county authorities. which had
failed to provide ballots for the
election.

even though on the wrong side

but receive a goodly share Of

out Of the success of the cam

the west.side BLACK Handler" wrote to
the Rutland railroad, threatening dire
things if booty was not deposited for
his benefit, the scheme lacked the ability
to invoke personal fear since it was di-
rected against a corporation rather than
against man or group of men. There.
fobe, too, since the attack WAS not
against a single person but against a
powerful corporation, the efforts toward
apprehending the perpetrator were the
more persistent and far.reaching. That
the criminal was rounded up before he
had succeeded in doing any dastardly
work granted that he possessed the
courage to carry cut his nefarious de-
signs-is a matter for eongatulation.
1t is expected that the failure, thus
caused, OF the first Black Hand" at
tempts at extortion in Vermont will
serve to discourage further efforts in a
work which finds its most fertile field in
the large and cosmopolitan cities like
New York and Chicago, and which really
has no place in Vermont
