TO SING At
CHARITY EVENT

Mrs. Ike Binnard, who has
charge of the charity musicale to be
given this afternoon at the Hall of
the Doges, has been very fortunate
in securing the services of Miss
Alice Lloyd, the popular little
coincidence and songester playing
at the Orpheum this week. 1t was
with difficulty that Miss Lloyd was
obtained for the event, and those
attending will be enabled to hear
Miss Lloyd sing, and in addition
possibly gain a speaking acquaint-

for the musicale at o'clock, after
her regular afternoon performance
at the Orpheum.

The case of w. G. Parker, the
policeman under suspension for
beating his wife, will come up for
trial December 10 before Justice
Hyde. The woman, when she ap-
peared at the police station, wore
badly beaten up face and mouth as
evidences of the assault that is al
legged to have been committed on
her by her husband.
From surface indications, it is be-
lieved that there will be some
rather sensational facts developed
at the hearing. No action beyond
his suspension has yet been brought
against Parker before the police
commissioners, as Chief Doust is

IN NO GREAT DANGER.
Aero Club Officials Believe RaIIoonists
VIII Come Out All Right

New York, Oct. 25.-The belief that
the balloon America II and its passen
gers, Alan R. Hawley and Augustus
Post, nave suffered no harm and will
be heard from in the course of a few
days was expressed today by the aero
club officials who have been detailed TO
assist Mr.. Hawley's brother in the
quest for Information regarding the
missing aeronauts. A study of the
probable route of the balloon. and of
the country which it has traversed
has been made by these officials in
conference with explorers and hunters
familiar with the conditions in this
territory They declare that if no spe-
c1al mishap occurred in the landing Of
America II, the position of the aero
nauts is probably without any great
degree of danger at this time of the
year.
At least there is no great danger of
their starving to death, according to
these men.
cartridges and spruce grouse are
abundant throughout the region and
are so tame that they may be taken
with a moose on the end of a pole in
sufficient quantities for camp pur-
poses.
1t is noted, however, that there
might be difficulty in getting Indians
to carry the party back to civiliza-
ton, because the Indians are now
headed toward their trapping grounds
anu II d great zeal OF induce
ment to turn them back. especially if
one does not speak their language
There are plenty of wolves and bears
in much of the region, but they are
said to be generally harmless except
ing for camp fire story purposes.
Travelling through the woods to a
water course would be extremely diff
cult for the aeronauts, it is said, and
four or five days might be required in
localities where there are no Indian
trails, before one could get to water
It is this feature, the experts declare,
which is probably the cause for delay
in getting reports from the two aero
nauts.
Jacques Faure, whose balloon came
down on this side of the Canadian
line, is among those who believe the
aeronuats are safe. To the Aero club
officials he described how the America
II hal been provisioned for ten days
at least and said that the provisions
were in condensed form and could be
carried easily if the balloonists were
forced to make a journey on foot
He said that he knew that Mr.. Haw-
ley and Mr.. Post had taken unusual
precautions, apparently foreseeing a
probable landing in the wildern ess. He
thought that they had taken rifles and
a supply of ammunition along. He
was sure that the America II crew was
we'll supplied with warm clothing and
| the necessaries for long trek through
| the wilderness.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Hutchinson Man Is Making

Story From Oberlin Says Young
Is Making Gains.

Lynn Bloom, editor of the Concordia
Blade, while here in attendance at the
meeting of the executive committee OF
the State Press association, declared
that the race in the Fifth district be-
tween Judge Rees and HeIvering, his
young Democratic opponent for con-
gress, had developed into the closest
kind of contest.
Mr.. Bloom made the startling state
ment that Helvering had won such n
decided advantage in the debates that
the Cloud county political leaders were
considering an appeal to the state COM
mittee to stop the series of ten debates
agreed upon by the contesting candi-
dates. II heard that talk when I left
town Yesterday said Mr.. Bloom but
do not know whether or not the word
was sent to the committee. In the de-
bate in Cloud county the sentiment of
the crowd appeared to be for Helver-
ing. Judge Rees made the serious mis-
take of saying that he would be for
Cannon for speaker in the event that
Uncle Joe was the caucus nominee. The
people of my county of both parties
are talking about nothing else since
the debate. Rees made the primary
race as an insurgent dyed in the wool
Il believe that Rees will lose Cloud
county next month. The Republican
state ticket may carry the county. but
it will be close. A straw vote taken
Sunday night at the postoffice showed
eleven out of fifteen business men for
Hodges for governor.
This young man Helvering is MAX
ing a hard fight for congress and has
the money with which to make an eff
fective campaign. Rees is accused by
many insurgents of backing up on his
primary platform -
Mr.. Bloom is the editor of one of the
most influential Republican papers in
his section of the state.
The other side of the congressional
fight comes from Oberlin, Decatur
county, where Senator 7. D. Young,
insurgent candidate in the Big. Sixth,
held a rousing rally Monday. Decatur
county turned out and crowded the
court house IN the afternoon to hear
the senator and gave him a great ova-
ton. 1t is reported by Republicans
present that the senator made a very
strong speech. one of the best heard
in Oberlin for long time.

AGE OF REASON.
Day of Red Fire and Campaign But
tons Has Passed.

New York, Oct. 25-The passing of old
time campaign methods is apparently
marked by the present gubernatorial
and congressional campaign in New
York. Keen political observers have
several times noted that the campaign
is the quietest in many years and they
declare that it is not due to public
apathy, but merely to the fact that the
day of red fire, torchlight parades, ban
ners, bands and buttons, as well as
street corner spellbinders and cart tail
oratory. has gone by.
In all New York there are not more
than half dozen campaign banners
this year no American flags are used
for campaign advertising, and the man
wearing a button with the name and
picture of his favorite candidate on it
is a rarity
ION the whole. the new system of
campaigning is the better one" declar-
ed John A. Mason, secretary of the
Democratic committee. Red fire and
parades don't make votes. The quiet
campaign is more effective. With the
passing of time-honored customs and
methods, saner ways of doing the work
of the campaign are coming into vogue.
Newspapers and campaign literature
have taken the place of the old devices.
Appeals are now made to the voter
reason, not to his emotions
THE last time flags, bunting, banners
and buttons were used in large amounts
in this city was the McKinley-Bryan
campaign of 1896. In that year the
American flag was used extensively.
That was a national campaign, but IN
every campaign since, there has been
a constant tendency to get away from
the outward and visible sign of politi-
cal activity.
During the last mayoralty campaign
one party alone spent $1,000 on cam
paign buttons. Not a cent is being
used by the New York committees for
this purpose this year. Similarly with

chances on being found"

me they had enough food capsules to
