VETERANS FAVOR
HOUSE CANDIDACY
CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE is A VETERAN OF THE
CIVIL WAR AND DID SOME
STRENUOUS SERVICE FOR HIS
COUNTRY.

Wahpeton, N. D.--The supporters of
w. M. House appeal to the people on
the ground of his being strong factor
in the upbuilding of the state. His
past and present work is for advance
ment of the material, moral and edu-
cational interests of North Dakota. He
is we'll known and those who know
him are for him.
He enlisted in the war when men
were most needed, and did hard serv-
ice. His company and regiment were
among those that fought to the last
ditch.
w. M House does his work well. He
has always been a reliable and ag-
gressive republican. He is especially
well qualified for the position of secre-
tary of state.
While the G.. A r. is not in politics,
1t would please the veterans Of that
state to see comrade honored by the
republicans of North Dakota Mr..
House is one of the two Civil war
veterans seeking a nomination for
state Office.
Alexander Hay,
SoLi ueE summer, Post NO. q, u. A II.
The editor of The Linton Record
also veteran Of the Civil war, has
the following:
Among the many candidates that
are being considered throughout the
state, none seems to be assuming
more prominence for a state position
than Comrade w. M. House of Wynd-
mere, who aspires to be secretary of
state. Mr.. House is not only an old
Civil war soldier, but he is an educated
gentlemen and fine business man.
People who know him personally say
that, If he reaches the position, the
state will have one of the best secre-
taries that has ever served the peo-
pie of North Dakota.

Hines and Lovett Say State
Laws Are Inadequate

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Walker D.
Hines, chairman of the executive com
mittee, and general counsel of the
Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe railway.
told the members of the railway Sc
curities commission today that he was
not disposed to oppose congressional
regulation of railroads engaged in in
terstate commerce.
State regulation was inadequate,
Hines said, as some states regulate too
much and others not enough, and
therefore he was heartily in favor of
federal regulation.
Hines believed the existing evils
were few, and that conditions in the
railroad world were constantly improv-
ing owing to the constant scrutiny to
which the roads were subjected by the
interstate commerce commission. pub
lie officials and the public generally.
Robert S. Lovett, president of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads said he too was in favor OF

Immediately following the passage of
the Mann -Elkins law, the commission
began to exercise the most far reach
ing power conferred upon it, the au-
thority to suspend proposed advances
in rates pending investigation. In the
first half of 1910. numerous carriers
had given notice of general advances
in rates.
Since the last annual report, the
commission has announced decisions

REIGN OF Terror

Chinese Rob and Slay to

VICTORIA B. c., Dec. 21-News was
brought by the steamship Aymeric to-
day of floods causing large loss of life
and of severe famine following the
flooding of the crops in the Anhui
province of China, affecting $500, 900
people. Rev. E. C. Lobensteine, a mis-
sionary from north Anhui. said:
so desperate were the people who
saw starvation ahead that thousands
were banded together, robbing any who
had food supplies. and for weeks
scarcely night passed without many
murders. A reign of terror prevailed.
En- bankments were thrown around vii

Hooked to these places from the
countryside for protection.

that the same conditions existed as far
as the borders of Honan.
The floods caused great loss of life
During my trip learned that the
rapid rise of water over the fiat
countryside had swept away scores of
villages, thousands of persons being
drowned. The railroad engineers at
Kuchen reported that one of the
bridges near there had been choked
up with bodies of drowned and he had
been imprisoned for two days in the
upper part of temple before being
rescued by a boatman.
