The ul1einl call for the Third An
nuaf convention of the Mississippi to
Atlantic Inland Waterway Associa-
ton, to be held at Apalachicola, Fla,
has been issued by the president, Uni
ted States Senator Duncan U. Fletch-
er as follows:
'In compliance with resolutions
adopted at the Jacksonville conven-
ton of the Mississippi to Atlantic In
land Waterway Association, the Third
Annual Convention of the Association
is called to meet in the city of Pensa-
cola, Fla, November IA, Is and 16,
1910.
Invitations to attend this conven-
ton have been accepted by notable
speakers from several States.
The Chamber of Commerce of Pen
sacola has organized a program of
entertainment for the distinguished
guests and delegates, which Win M
clude refreshemnts, visits to polnte
of interest and trip on the bny, o.
cupying the last day of the couv(A-
| ton. s
"The first two days will be devoted
to business sessions, and papers will
be presented by some Cf the most
eminent engineers and statesmen of
the country. Headquarters win be
at the San Carlos Hotel.
"The Third Annual Convention will
be held at a critical period in the his
tory of the Association. Within the
year the United States engineers will,
in all probability, report to Congress
their recommendations respecting
the inland waterway along the gulf
| coast, and this report will furnish
the basis for future action of the As
sociation.
Every member should attend the
Third Annual Convention and do ev-
erything in his power to strengthen
the Association, preparatory to the
final struggle for Congressional en-
dorsement of the project. We have
succeeded in getting an early survey
for the entire route from the Missis-
sippi river to the Atlantic and two
appropriations for construction of
parts of the project have been made.
We must follow up this advantage by
prompt action in securing Congress
sional approval of the entire project
and appropriations to begin the work
under continuing contracts.
Additional information respecting
convention arrangements will be fur
nished.
"The main thing now is for every
member to make up his mind that he
will, if possible, attend, and send word
to that effect to the Secretary for reg
istration. Firms are entitled to send
two delegates: trade bodies, etc, may
send as many delegates as they please,
their voting power being limited to
one vote for each two dollars paid as
dues; Governors of States, Mayors of
Cities and County Commissioners are
requested to appoint delegates.
I'VE want a big convention at Pen
sacola-A convention representative
of the business interests of the South
and we want you to do your share
towards making 1t entirely successful
from every point Of view.
DUNCAN U. FLETCHER,
president"

MINOT LIGHT AND POWER
co. BOUGHT BY CHICAGO
PARTIES

H. n. Bylesby & Co., of Chi.
cago have bought the light and
power plant at Minot. This is
the same company that has
lately secured the light and
power plants Of Fargo and
Grand Forks. The transfer of
the Minot plant will take place
on the Goth of January.
After this company secured
possession of the Fargo and
Grand Forks plant they reduc-
ed the rates at those places, so
that the cities down the Red
have cheaper light and power,
all generated by steam, than we
have in Wahpeton, where un
der normal condition our power
is all generatedby water. Under
right conditions our water pow
err should be our best asset as
a city, but when neighboring
cities are furnished cheaper
service, then the water power
ceases to be municipal re-
source.

wAHPEToN,

eight votes cast. at the late
election was illegal, fraudulent
and void! What a corrupt mess
we are living in! And it is furth-
er charged that every last liv.
ing one of these four hundred
twenty-five illegal votes were
cast for Moody and not a soli-
tary one for Heley! What an
extraordinary coincidence that
the line separating the sinners
from the saints was so accur.
ately drawn that every last sin
ner was found in Moody's yard
aud not a single one managed
to stray into Heley's pasture!
A n d another unaccountable,
thing is that not one of these
four hundred twenty. five men
who voted illegally aud corrupt
ly has been prosecuted! Just
think of it-fou~ hundred TWEEN
ty five criminals running loose
in Richland county aud not a
single prosecution! What in
the world is the matter with
our prosecuting officers? What
dwelling nonsense!
1t is next charged that three
hundred twenty six votes that
were actually c .st for Mr.. Heley
were not counted for him, and
it is charged that this thing &C.
Cured in every one of the pre-
cincts in the county! 1t is also
charged that one hundred fifty
one votes that were cast tor
Heley we're in fact counted for
Moody. 1t is also charged that
two hundred eleven votes were
counted for Moody which in
tact were not cast for him. From
all this we must infer either
that the election officers of the
county were either stupid asses
or crooked scoundrels! Which?
Who ever suspected that in
Richiand county the election
officers were made up of such
crooked scoundrels7 There are
some forty-six election precincts
in the county and four election
officers for each precinct max
ing in all one hundred eighty.
four election officers all guilty
of corruption, and not a single
one or them prosecuted! Sure.
ly our able States Attorney
and his efficient assistant must
have gone to sleep!
And finally it is charged that
the election officers in h e
townships of Antelope, Ibsen,
Sheyenne, Freeman, West End.
Barney, Duerr and Elma all en-
tered into conspiracy with
Moody and his eco. conspira-
tors" to bride in Moody's inter.
est the voters in those several
precincts, and otherwise to vio-
late the law of the state.
And it is further charged that
in these eight precincts the
election officers and Moody and
his said eco conspirators," &C.
tually bribed two hundred
eighty voters to vote for Moody!
Now the returns show that
Moody received in the several
precincts named, exactly two
hundred eighty votes. 1t fol-
lows therefore, if this document
is true, that every single vote
cast for Mr.. Moody in these
eight precincts were actually
bribed to vote for him! And, as
Mr.. Moody carried each one of
these precincts by large major
tiles it follows that the voters
in these precincts are practical
" all rotten, corrupt scalawags!
And 1t will be remembered that
these precincts are strictly rur.
al and, that the voters are al.
most exclusively farmers. What
a rotten set the farmers of Rich
land county must be-accord-
ing to Mr.. Heley's notice of

CONTEST STARTED
AGAINST MOODY
Although he was Defeated at the
Poles on Election Day, Kelley
to Hold the Office Of
Sheriff

an0 the result announced the
people, or most of them, took it
for granted that the agony was
over, but in this it seems they
were mistaken.
On Tuesday last a formidable
document bearing h e title
"Notice of Election Contest
and signed by Sheriff Heley
was served upon Mr.. George E.
Moody, from which it appears
that Mr.. Moody's right to the
office of sheriff, to which the
people of this county elected
him, is being challenged.
The editor of this paper is
not lawyer and we have had
very little experience in exam
lining law papers but we have
read this Notice of Election
Contest from beginning TO end
and we must say that it is the
Inostremarkatle document that
we ever read or read about. It
contains eighteen typewriter
pages and sets forth ten distinct
reasons or grounds why Mr..
Mood y should not be allowed to
hold the Office of sheriff not
withstanding his election by
the people.
In the first place it is charged
that some time before the cleo.
tion, Mr.. Moody promised to
make a small contributions to
assist in the construction of a
church building in the Town.
ship of Garborg which was be
ing erected by the Norwegian
Lutheran church society OF
that place, and that by this act
Moody was guilty of briber,
and corruption, and he thereby
corruptly bribed twenty-five of
the voters of said Garborg town
ship. This. we must confess,
is the first time we ever heard
it charged that by contributing,
or promising to contribute to
the construction of a church
building man was guilty OF
bribery. And, as the bride soli-
citor is equally guilty with the
bride giver, hereafter our
church friends will have to be
very cautious about election
time in asking for contributions
either to build or maintain their
churches! However, it develops
so we have been told that in
this particular case Mr.. Heley
not only promised but actually
made a contribution to the con,
struction of this same identical
church! But no doubt the poll
tical "gang" in this county will
be able to make it very plain
that promising a contribution,
Moody acted unlawfully and
corruptly but that in doing the
same thing Heley acted the
part of a christian gentleman!
There is however, in relation
to THE charge, another very
peculiar circumstance. A 9
stated, it 10 charged that by
making the contribution Moody
bribed twenty-five voters 0 +
Garborg township. Now the
official returns Of the election
show that in this township,
Moody received only nineteen
votes! It follows therefore, that
Moody must have bribed six of
the voters of Garborg township
to vote for his opponent! What
insufferable rot to incorporate
in a legal document!
This legal document further
charges that at the late election
in this county, four hundred
and twenty-aye illegal vote.
