WARMING UP in
KIDDER COUNTY
INFORMAL MEETING AT DAWSON
ENTHUSIASTIC FOR COL.
FUTILE

Kidder County Herald: Last Friday
evening about fifteen republicans from
Steele went down to Dawson to at
tend an informal meeting which was
held at that place for the purpose of
discussing the political situation and
the crop, avowed and probable can
didates.
The meeting was held in the capa-
cious dining room at the Sibley and
there were probably forty republicans.
chiefly from the east and west sides,
of the county, present. DR.. Pryse of
Dawson was chosen as president of
the meeting and Carl Adams was
chosen secretary.
No particular campaign issues were
taken up, the time being wholly de-
voted to the contemplation of the var
ious aspirants who will shy their cast.
ors into the political arena.
A motion that every republican
present pledge his vote and his hear
ty support to the candidacy Of w. B..
futile Of Dawson for representative
from the district, was carried enthus-
iastically and unanimously.
States Attorney Walker consented
to become candidate for reelection
It is understood that Attorney Stan
ley's health is such that he could not
accept the nomination and that At
torney Smith who recently located in
this city would not be candidate.
Mr.. Walkers conduct of the affairs
of his Office has been most satisfac-
tory, and his familiarity with the sew.
eral cases now pending in the courts
would otherwise make it unwise to
consider change in attorneys.
Among the candidates for the vari-
GUS county offices, Geo. G. Bope, for
auditor, M. F. Woessner for clerk OF
courts, Ora L. Hurd, for superintend-
ent Of schools, and F. P. Leamy, for
judge, were most fayorably comment
ed upon. Quite number Of candi.
dates are in the field for the remain
ing county offices. Some of them were
present at the meeting and the names
of others were presented and discuss
ed, no preference being expressed.
The greatest harmony and mutual
good will was anDarent in all Of the
many brief addresses. After the meet
ing had adjourned to meet again at
the same place on March 18th, e,
J. Raymond presented the gathering
with some fine cigars and the meet
ing quickly dispersed. Among those
present were Major Belden and John
Carrigan of Fort Yates.

IN THE SENATE

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25-Cur-
rency legislation was the chief topic
before the senate today. For nearly
three hours Senator Robert L. Owen
Of Oklahoma spoke on the Aldrich
bill, claiming that he had, through
former Senator Jones of Arkansas, in
1900, proposed legislation somewhat
similar to the bill under consideration.
but with essential differences which
he declared would have prevented the
recent panic had 1t been enacted into
law.
Mr.. Owen received close attention
from the senators and was frequently
interrupted with questions, which led
to spirited debate.

SOME INCIDENTS OF THE PRlM-
ARX

AIRY
Political campaigns have their ad-
vantages after all-perhaps most of
them to the plain people. They pro.
woke interest on the part of the can
didates in the affairs OF various sec.
lions of the state. They lead to trav-
ell from place to place, also on the
part of the candidates, and they have
a tendency to bring all persons-can
didates and voters-to the same level;
for woe be to the candidate who does
not seem to stand on the same ground
with the people whose votes he il
seeking. In the event Of any consid
cradle public gathering, the people
may feel certain that there will be
candidates in attendance, ready to
give advice and extend good will and
also to pass the glad hand. When the
district or the local convention of
any sort or kind meets we may feel
certain that the "Hon. Mr.. So-and,
SO, candidate for this or. that. then
responded to many and persistent
calls and made neat and happy ad-

The solicitor for various good pur-
poses, charitable, industrial or edu,
cational, is quietly advised to "ses
Mr.. So-and-So, he is candidate"
and Mr.. So-and-So is more than like,
ly to give OF his means as literally as
he feels that he should and perhaps
a little more so. In a primary CAM
paign, these incidents of campaigning
are perhaps even more striking and
numerous, for it is largely a personal
campaign and the candidate is out
early and late, making medicine from
the roots and herbs of popular favor.
The present primary campaign be.
gan several months ago and will lasS
for several months yet, SO there is
plenty Of travel, hand shaking, con.
tributing and speechmaking in store
for the candidates who may feel that
they have not had enough of it al,
ready. The campaign has been and
will be arduous, especially when it is
considered that it is only half Of a
campaign, and there is fall election
in store after the primaries. But in
serious way, it may have it's ad-
vantages. It gives the man who is

breadth and extent Of our own state
We get out of touch with the mass OF
the people, except those we meet or
dinarily in the course of business and
social intercourse. The primary cam
paign should change all this. It
should project the candidate into all
corners of the state and lead him to
meet people of all kinds and classes
and occupations. 1t should give him
a better idea of the needs of the peo-
pie in political way, what they think
of and talk of, and what are the in
terests of the different localities in
the state. All these bits of knowledge
should make better fitted public ser

all this knowledge may be consider.

most hearty reception Mr. McGee an
nounced that the share of the dividend
of the Methodist Book concern which
comes to the Maine conference this
year is $1005. Mr.. Evans was
particularly happy in his brief re-
marks, and long continued applause
greeted his closing remark that the
Congregationalsts recognize the
Methodists as the denomination to go
to for great preachers. Mr. Hope and
Mr.. Marsh both made a hit by their
pleasing method of bringing the greet
ings of their respective denominations.
Bishop Hamilton in response to these
fraternal greetings said "The spirit of
union is in the air. 1t is wonderful in
how many things the denominations
agree and in how few they differ. In
Canada and Australia the movement
for union is going forward and it is
felt in this country. 1t will be great
thing when we have the Presbyterian
money and when they have our num-
bers. AS things are going now the
Congregationalists will soon have most

posed to prohibition and temperance
while the Democrats of the South will
endeavor to have a prohibition plank
inserted in the platform at the next
Democratic national convention.
I'VE are at this time facing a con-
dition of affairs unparalleled in the
history of the temperance movement.
State Legislatures have never before
been so eager to listen to temperance
peopl as thy are today and the saloon
is better controlled in this State than
ever. but l am not foolish enough to
say that no liquor is sold, for it is sold
and will be as long as man has an APP
petite for it. The Waterville Sentinel
says that there are 200 open saloons III
the city of Bangor. That is not so.
There may be 200 places or houses in
the city Of Bangor where there may
be a pint OF liquor but the wide open
conditions are greatly exaggerated.
There is not a crime that has ever
been eliminated by legal processes nor
will there ever be. What are the forces
of the saloon today? There is no other
way to deal with the temperance ques-
ton except by prohibition. After every
StOOll Ill Tie Sldlc UteIl ClOSCd
there will then be opportunities for
the man to get his appetite satisfied.
There are thousands of barrels of cider
in the cellars Of our Maine farmers and
the cider drunkard is the worst kind Of
drunkard. Then there are the vari-
Gus political manipulations. Liquor is
poured out at caucuses and elections
with the widest debauchery. The pur-
chasable vote is got by rum and l
could name number of politicians
whose way to success has been carved
by the rum bottle and the rum barrel.
Clubs are so operated that they can
sell liquor without fear of molestation
fl ON the law.
THE State of Maine is flooded with
letters and circulars from other states
to send for something to fortify your
nerves. When postal card from some
distant state comes for the names of
the students at my school l do not re-
ply to it, and I have a letter at home

united on this great question the laws
became vigorously enforced, but we
cannot do ii unless we have in training
the boys and girls who will be the men
and women of tomorrow There is but
one mayor of city in the State of
Maine who has given orders for the po-

"You people are agreed on one thing
and that is that the saloon must so in
America. You might differ about the
tariff the digging of the Panama ca
nal or the government ownership of
public utilities, but in this proposition
that the saloon is debauching there
arc not two opinions. No party has
the right to ask for the support of any
of it's candidates unless they stand
for the moral reforms, for the home.
You should not nominate men who
would not barter their conScienceS. The
Anti-SalOon League is not a political
organization. 1t only hopes that every
Republican, every Democrat. every
Socialist and every member of any 9TH
er political party would see their way
fit to vote its ticket straight. No hon
est man has tile right to be in a par
ty that mas a majority of bad people
in it.

pioneer in this reform. You were the
fist to raise the beacon light in this
nation. You have held it there for half
century and other states are now
following the lead made by you. Down

have entered the ranks of prohibition
with tine state of Maine and within five
years Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee.
South Carolina and Virginia will swing
into line and no matter what may be
done in the effete East or in the West
or Northwest, the saloons must go
from the sunny Southland.

name of each of the three presiding
elders was called and as each was
called the ministers of his district
replied in chorus Nothing against

and supernumerary preacher in the
conference was called in turn, and at
the mention of each the presiding
elder of his district responded
Nothing against him!" If there is
any charge against a man the presid-

Thursday afternoon was devoted to
the cause of temperance, being desig-

admitted that all collections had not
been taken according to the "disciplin-
airy plan. Said the bishop: Il admire
your honesty in admitting it, but
honesty is not always the best policy
1t was voted that the annuity plan
adopted in 1905 be continued. This
was on motion of Rev. ID. B. Holt of
Bath. The plan provides that each
minister desiring to do so shall con-
tribute one per cent of his salary to
an old age insurance plan. 1t was also
voted upon the suggestion of Mr.. Berry
of Kent's Hill that 500 be taken from
the general education fund for needy
pupils at the school.

number of visitors and fraternal
delegates to the conference. These in
