SENATOR BRADLEY.

Governor Beckham'S failure of ell
ection to the United States senate
by the Kentucky Legislature, does
not signify, dear reader, that the
democratic party Of the bluegrass
state has lost any OF its viri1fty, SO
much as it indicates the desire Of the
people to have a voice in affairs Of
state They have grown weary OF
the autocratic airs assumed by the
previously undefeated candidate, and
enough Of them had the courage OF
their convictions to vote tor repub-
lican rather than heap additional
honors upon man who SO soon
scorned the base degrees by which he
did ascend.
The mantle could not have fallen
upon one better fitted to uphold the
dignity of the position, which so
many brilliant men have filed, than
Governor Bradley. National COM
mitteeman for his state for many
years, once the choice Of his delega-
tiCn for president and once the gov
ernor Of the state, he brings to the
senatorship that ripe experience
which can only come from participa~
ton in big things. That his eleva-
ton was made possible by democrat
&c votes detracts in no way from his
victory; rather, it shows the high re-
gard in which he is held by both Do-
litical friend and foe. Here's to Sen
ator Bradley. May he live long and
prosper.

Of Sheriff Of KanaWha county in the

next May. MIR. Cassidy has always
been staunch republican, and
should he be the choice Of his party
to the office to which he aspires, he
can be depended upon to bring to the
discharge OF the duties Of the office
the same business methods which
have proven so successful in the con-
duct Of his private affairs.

Editor The Advocate:
would like for your paper to
mention the fact that regardless Of
the fact that there has besf a so~cal-
ed boom for Taft m this state, 1t does
not express our sentiments. While
admitting that Taft is a great man,
our candidate iB the fearless, the
Hon. JOS. B. Foraker, who has stood
by us through all OF our battles. We
all glory in his bravery in upholding
our cause and all Of our people In
this safe are glad to take of our
hats and say may Foraker always
reign.

Up from the south comes til

Up from the south comes the re-
port that the representatives and
friends Of the other candidates for
the republican presidential nomina-
ton are having hard shedding in AL
ALBANIA because Booker Washington
is the high cockelorum in the politi-
cal barnyard down there, and he is
for Taft@:
Whether Mr.. Washington domi-
mates the situation and is for Taft,
We neither know nor care; but if he
is Taft man, no others need apply
for the job; for Mr.. Washington is
conservatism personified, and will
know, beyond the shadow Of a doubt,
which way the procession Is headed
before he gets into the band wagon.

Band Concert.

The South Dakota State Band con-
cert lsst evening was much enjoyed by
a house full Of people. Parties from
the surrounding towns were much in
evidence and they did not 60 away dis
appointed. The program as published
last week was carried out with the ex-
ception of one number, and this was
supplied by splendid violin solo by
Mr.. Algers. Some Of our local players
took part, which increased the number
The band is under the direction Of Mr..

were highly eomplimented by hearty
and spontaneous encores. The rendi.

tainly appreciated by our people.

Brush Made Good.

No entertainment that has appeared
in Oakes in many years was more en-
joyed and afforded more mystery than
that put on last Friday evening by
Edwin Brush, the prestodigitator. This
was the first of the series of entertain
ments to be put on this winter under
the auspices of the Boys Mutual Inn
provement Club and if the rest of the
numbers are like the first there is no
doubt as to their success. Brush is
certainly a wonder. A coin, orange,
bali or in fact most anything will ap-
pear as If by magic, only to disappear
at the flip of the fingers, and the on
locker is no wiser than before.
Several tricks with live animals were
performed very dexterously y-and some
of the onlookers are yet trying to figure
out how the tricks were done. Brush
is one Of the best slight of hand per-
formers we have seen, and we hope to
see him back in Oakes again in the
near future.

Good Flax Crops.

Forman Independent ]. P. William
son informed the writer, Tuesday,
that he had just COMPLETED threshing
on his Golden Hill Farm about nineteen
miles southwest of Forman. The crop,
together with that threshed by Fred
Chesley, who was working with him,
netted over 5000 bushels Of flax. Mr..
Chesley threshed out 70 acres and got
a yield of 20a bushels per acre, while
'tUncle Jim" Williamson 9 crop netted
. 'yfeld Of 183 bushels per acre. It is
safe to say that this is the largest crop
Of flax raised in the county this year.
Besides fax other grain was raised and
the yields were excellent. Mr.. William
son is perhaps one of the most success
full farmers in the state.

POLITICAL ISSUES ARE
DISCUSSED IN 0AKES

Hon. H. R. Turner of Fargo ad-
dressed the citizens of Oakes on the
political issues of the day at the opera
house last Thursday evening. Mr..
Turner confined his address mainly to
national issues, comparing the record of
the two leading parties while they
were in power. Especially did he COM
pare the condition Of the country today
under republican rule to that of ten
years ago when the democrats had full
sway in the nation.
Democratic spell binders will tell
you Of the purchasing power of the
dollar today" said he, ''as compared
with the purchasing power Of that unit
under the Cleveland administration,
but that is no comparison. The way to
compare them right is to ask yourselves
the questions: What will 20 pounds of
butter buy today as compared with
ten years ago. What will a hundred BUSH
els of wheat buy today as compared to
the 40 cent wheat of democratic times?
What is the purchasing power of cattle
and horses and everything that the
farm produces?" He showed that the
raise in price of all articles sold by the
farm had increased far beyond the
articles to be purchased or exchanged
for them.
He paid a high compliment to the
republican candidate for president and
put the deeds of Taft against the vision
ary theories Of Bryan. Taft had q
leading part in the Roosevelt policies
and there was no man that would
carry them out better than William
H. Taft.
Mr.. Turner spoke more than an hou,
and made good impression.
