Tnls morning the board OF commits
Sioners of Cass county were again ask
cd to give financial aid to assist in
putting out an exhibit Of Cass county
and Red river valley products as an
advertising medium at industrial exhi-
pitlons and land shows. The matter
was before the board at the September
meeting and was at that time turned
down.
A committee consisting OF E. J.
Weiser, r. s. Lewis. Treadwel Twi-
chell' III. w. Gearey, Morton Page.
James Holes, Alex Stern and William
Lehman appeared before the commits
sloners and made the plea for aid
from the county.
Mr.. Twichell was the chief speaker
from the laity and ne gave his usual
characteristic talk before the commits
sioners covering the field almost en-
tlreiy. He urged the commissioners.
az agents of the people of the county
20 give his exhibit aid, as 1t would
increase the value Of their lands. and
undoubtedly bring In more people TO
Cass county to till the soil, dividing
the now large farms into smaller ones.
The Mapleton man stated that In his
belief, very few people brought into
the county to settle, would repay the
county in taxes for all the money
that would ever be given to promote
the county advertising proposition. He
cited figures to back his statements
that by advertising at the land shows
and industrial exhibitions, the people
brought here by such displays, would
replace In the county 1ofreEg, 4las non-
ey used In the advertising venture.
r. .. Lewis spoke for a time on the
subject and showed what the feeling
was over the state because the REQ
river valley counties had no exhibit on
at Bismarck. He showed how the eff
forts of Ransom county had resulted
In that county being populated. where
as before any advertising had been
done, every few OF the farms were
occupied In the county.
County Auditor Leech remarked
that he had talked with from $50 to
500 farmers since the last meeting of
the commissioners and found them all |
favorable towards an appropriation. |
Some OF the farmers had been adverse |
to 1t before. but on having the pro-
position explained. felt disposed to-
wards giving the exhibit $1,000 or
more If need be.
Commissioner Heath stated that al |
though he personally was In favor of /
the appropriation, yet his constituents.
with the exception Of four Of the num-
Der that he had seen, were decidedly
opposed to II. They believed 1t to be
4 scheme Of real estate men, and not
anything that would materially bene-
1t the farmer.
The board Of commissioners will

EDMUNDS
EXPLAINS
No Corruption Money Says
StephenSon'S Manager
USED ONLY At PRIMARY
STEPHENSON AND HE FRIENDS
FEARED THE OPPOSITION AND
PUT UP A STRONG FIGHT, BUT
DENY USING ANY CORRUPTION
METHODS.

Milwaukee, Oct. s.-That the s107,-
1913 which was expended by United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson in his
campaign for nomination at the pri-
maries was used for legitimate adver-
Using and was not employed corrupt
" was the gist of testimony given to-
day before the senatorial investigation
committee.
The committee, which is investigat-
ing the charges that Stephenson SCI
cured his seat in the senate by bribery
and other corrupt use of money. az :
amined Il. "A. Edmunds, manager of
the Stephenson campaign in 1908. Ed
munds described In detail the methods
OF organizing in the state.
Knowing that the senator was desir-
GUS OF reelection and fearing the on
position would be strong, the witness
said a thorough organization was de-
termined upon. This resulted in
Stephenson's nomination at the pri-
mariee and his election by the legis-
lature the year following.
The thoroughnesg of the campaign
explained the large amount of money
spent, but all OF it was for nomination
and none OF 1t for the election by the
legislature, he said.
Edmunds said that none OF the cam
paign workers rendered detailed re-
port OF the expenditures. No such re-
port was required OF them.
It was pointed out by the witness
that, with 1900 precincts in the state
there were $3.50 republican party or
ganizers This was intended to show
that Stephenson's expenditures were
not excessive. There was keen COM
petition among the republican candi-
dates and Stephenson had to work
hard to get out the voters to insure
his nomination, the witness said.
