DELEGATIONS From This State Arrive
at Capital and Get Ready for
Opening Of Congress

Washington. Nov. 29,-Pre-
pared for another strenuous session

pearing hale and hearty, has re-
turned to Washington to resume

Farrer of Wahpeton, W.. L. Van
Horn Of Fargo, Theodore Schlen-
ker of Goodrich and j. r. Wagner,
Senator McCumber has not yet
made known his legislative pro-
gramme for North Dakota, but
there is good authority for the
statement that he will renew his
efforts in behalf of his grain
inspection bill this winter. An ef-
fort probably will be made to in
.terest President Taft in the move.

unlikely that some mention of the
matter will be made in the presl-
dents forthcoming message to
congress.
Those in a position to know de-
clare that the short session of
congress which will convene here
Monday, December, 5, will be one
of the most prolific in legislation
in years. In past years it has
been customary to do little else
than enact the various supply
bills necessary to keep the wheels
of government IN motion, but an
entirely different policy will be
pursued this year. President
Taft is determined to carry out
his platform pledges to tie utmost
detail and with democratic con-
gress ahead he realizes that the
short session now fast approach.

this direction.

What One Acre Did

Warwick Sentiner: Fred John.
son, who resides south of Warwick
did stunt at experimental farm
ing the past season and came out
extremely lucky on one crop.
He sowed an entire acre to ruta.
bagas as an experiment and his
crop yielded an even 5l8 bushels.
Having no market for the bagas
at home, he shipped carload to
Fargo and disposed of the entire
lot on ain average of IS cents a
bushel, which netted him over $500.
We suggest that farmers in this
locality branch out a little for there
are some who depend entirely too
much on one crop proposition.
Mr.. Johnson's success in this in
stance proves that diversified farm.
ing is what we want.

changed hands. 1t was sold at
auction last week and only had
one bidder-B. G.. Tenneson.

James Gray has the courage of his
convictions. Some members of his
party may not agree with his opinions
on regulating the liquor traffic, but
surely they cannot withhold admlra-
tlon for the sincerity Of the man.
They agree with him on every vital
national and state issue. He IS
opposed to the domination of special
interests. So is every good citizen.
He does not believe In a tariff that
robs the many to benefit the few. Most
Minnesotans agree with him.
He believes in conservation policy
that conserves. not in, locking the
stable after the horse is gone. So do
all good citizens. He is in this cam
paign opposed by every special interest
in Minnesota. He is appealing to the
independent manhood of the state; he
is opposed by the monopolist and the
standpatter. Do you want to JOIN
those ranks?

There is every indication that. next
Tuesday will show democratic VIC

among others the great state of New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Ohio Will elect democratic governors
and possibly democratic legislatures.
.Ihe Maine elections and congressional
elections held this year to fill vacant
seats in various states have shown that
the people are protesting against
present conditions, and are turning
toward the democratic party. 1t Is q
critical time for the democratic party,
and it can only hope for continued
approval by meriting the confidence
the people will give this year. The

'Minnesota's senior senator failed to

in which that paper charges him with
shielding Ballinger IN the recent in

allowed Ballinger to furnish him with
type written questions to be asked
Balllnger during the investigation.
