cases Of Joseph B. Fleming VS.. Mar
tin Jacobson were called for trial.
Attorney Lacy of Fargo represented
the plaintiff and Atty. II. A. Halvor-
son of Minot represented the defend
ant. Both cases were upon promis-
sorry notes amounting to S1,705.50,
given for farm machinery. and the
two cases were merged in one for
convenience. The trial was had be-
fore Judge Burke and a jury. After
both sides had rested late yesterday
afternoon, Attorney Lacy moved for
a directed verdict for the plaintiff
for the full amount upon the grounds
that the undisputed evidence showed
plaintiff to be an innocent purchaser
of the notes in question. After a hot
legal contest the motion was granted.

new BUILDINGS
FOR SEMINARY
ANNUAL MEETING AND ELECTION
or OFFICERS AT OAK GROVE
SEMINARY DAY
SCHOOL IN EXCELLENT SHAPE
AND WILL ENLARGE CAPACITY.

New buildings are imperative and
will be built at once at Oak Grove sem
mary. This was the conclusion reached
yesterday afternoon at the annual bus
mess meeting Of the board of trustees
OF that institution. The meeting was
held at the seminary and was largely
attended. The officials were taken over
the buildings and were greatly surpris-
ed and pleased at the excellent Sondi-
ton of affairs.
One of the most important matters
of business was the annual election of
officers.
There were three Of the nine trus-
tees elected as follows: Miss Mabel
F1aten of Renville. Mimi; p N. kors-
mo, Northwood, N. D., and Rev. o.
Swenson of Binford, N. d.
The trustees then elected the fol-
lowing officers for the ensuing year:
President-O. Torvik Gre elected),
Morris Mimi
Vice President--H. S. ouanbeck, Fin
ley, N. d.
Secretary-Rev. o. swenson, Binford.
A great deal of enthusiasm was
shown over the prospects for the COM
ing year, and quite a sum of money
subscribed. building committee was
appointed as follows; Hon. Fingal En-
ger Of Hatton; Professor Fossum, Far
go; T. Osby, Fargo. 1t will be the bust
ness of this committee to devise wcys
and means for securing new buildings,
as the present institution Is entirely
too small to accommodate those who
would like TO become students. In fact
the statement was made that nearly
seventy five young ladies who desired
to enter the institution were prevented
from doing so, the accommodations be
ing entirely inadequate.
During the year there were, in the
neighborhood of 175 lady students in
the seminary and as stated above there
could have been many more admitted
had the institution been large enough.
All of the trustees and friends of the
seminary are more than pleased at the
great progress that has been made dur
ing the past year and at the prospects
foc the next.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION

From returns so far received it now
seems certain that Geo. W. Egan, of
Sioux Falls, will be the republican
nominee for Governor. The figures
as published in the Argus-Leader
Wednesday give Egan 1851; Nessey,
12,l54, and Elrod 1912.
The same authority says the con-
gressmen are in doubt. Johnson, the
present state treasurer, is probably a
winner, while the balance of the ticket
is still in doubt.
In this county the following repub,
licrns were nominated:
4 State Senator Martin Madison

WHEN addressing the graduates at
the Northern Ohio university last
week President Taft took occasion to
refer to ''muck raking" among certain
newspapers, and later in his speech
again referred to what appeared to
him to be some undesirable features
of journalism. 1t has got to be pop
ular with some men to refer to GER
tain class of newspapers as muck
rskers." But the fact is that If there
were no muck, there would be no
rakers. And the removal OF the muck
is necessity to good civil and politi-
cal life. and the removal would sell
dom if ever occur unless the atten-
ton of the public was called to it.
Usually the term "muckraker' is used
by the party who is profiting by the
existence of the muck andit is hoped
thereby to discredit work for the
public good, but against the financial
interests of one who is responsible.
This talk about undertaking is full
sister to the idea some attempt to
convey to the effect that newspapers
in these days are not to be believed
in their statements upon many public
questions, and many times as to items
of news. The latter is an idea start

shall represent the county IN the up
per branch of the legislature. Yet
in this county il has long been Gus
tomary to allow each candidate TO
make out a ticket of delegates and to
voters choose between rival lists with
out any idea how they are voting for
any other candidate for Office except
that for senator.
There ought to be some simpler way
than the roundabout way now en-
plOyed to exclude the members of one
party from the caucus of another par
ty. At the present time it is neces-
sary in the early part of the year
when nobody thinks of politics to cir
culate petition and secure the sig
natures Of five per cent OF the legal
voters in order to make it possible
to us a party check list. When this
plan is adopted it becomes necessary
for every voter when he makes out his
list for taxation and when there is no
political issue at stake to remind him
to indicate his political preferences
and many are thus DISTINGUISHED.
Moreover there is just as much rea-
son for closing liquor saloons on eau
Gus days as on regular election days.
| the adoption of this regulation would
be hailed with satisfaction by all low
ers Of law and order and it would
really be along the line of the steps
now being taken by the brewers as
ISOLATION in Ohio for example, for
their own protection. The following
Cincinnati despatch shows why this
pohcy is being adopted by the brew
ers:
-Four saloon keepers of Cincinnati
were indicted today after the grand
jury had heard evidence collected by

They are charged with maintaining
