Lively Contest for Chairman.

Cedar Rapids, July 23.-Special:
The lively contest that has arisen over
the selection of chairman of the
state central committee promises to
greatly increase the attendance at the
democratic state convention here
Thursday. Des Moines will probably
send the largest crowd of Democratic
politicians that has attended state
convention from that city. They come
to boost for Henry Reigleman. of Des
Moines, as successor to Nick Reed, of
Ottumwa. Mr.. Reeds friends are al
so enthusiastic and there will be a
big crowd of Democrats from Ottum-
wa and other southern Iowa towns
working in his interests.

Des Moines, July 23,-Special: The

Thomas Hoskins. mayor Of North
Redwood, called the meeting to order
and introduced Grove E. Wilson as
chairman, who in turn introduced
Joseph R. Keefe. MIR. Keefe gave a
graphic account Of the Baltimore
convention and was warmly cheered.
Ciaeue Opposes Third Party
Senator Frank Clague was the next
speaker. Among other things Mr..
Clague said he did not believe there
was any present occasion for the or
ganization Of a third party. The
nomination Of Woodrow Wilson, he
said, made such move unnecessary.
Mr.. Clague did not say he would sup
port Wilson but that was the infer
ence to be drawn from his remarks.
Following the speaking Morgan
and Redwood Falls met in great
encounter on the ball field. After a
splendid exhibition Of playing and
talking the game ended in the sew

Those of Redwood Falls who did
not go to North Redwood to cele-

in the parks. In the Revening there
were large number of fire works
sent up from various points around
town and great many hot air bal
looms.
An appearance of rain sent the
celebrators home early
No accidents were reported.

wood county summer school. This is
better showing than Hutchinson

fifty, or Winthrop with twenty four

The school is in charge of Charles
E. Young of Wells, who is doing all
he can to give the students the work
of which they stand most in need.
In this effort he is being ably assis-
ted by Prof. w. C. Hermann.
This is the third week of the school
which closes on Friday, July 26.
This week F. A. Corniea, of Win

agriculture.
Mr.. Young expects Mrs. Young to

Minnesota was more than pas

They didn't get UP in the gallery and

No delegation did more to hold the
delegates in line for Wilson than

some uncomplimentary things about
his father but there was no fight.

still the moisture came in handily

Ideal weather followed the heavy

there was no chance for rust to get

Never in the history of the county
has grain surpassed the present

Corn is setting the pace. It has
shot ahead during the past ten Idays

Meanwhile prices for all farm
stuff are holding strong and

Plan to Keep 'em Awake
Deep and crafty plots are being
laid by certain enthusiastic autoists
to stir things up and keep the trav-
elers from falling asleep. There was
little snoring last year and there
promises to be less this season.
Meanwhile special Implications are
being made to the weather man in
an effort to secure reasonable brand
for entire four days. At least. say
the imploring ones, give US a fine
day Friday morning at 6 o'clock so
we can get started. This weather
business is the only thing now that
can spoil one of the best runs ever
planned.
How will You wake Friday?
BY the way, just how certain we'll
known late sleepers are to be aroused
on Friday morning is a problem with
which the touring committee is now
wrestling. The fire bell would be
used but experience has shown that
it wakes only about one in ten.
Charlie Huntsberry with his mega
phone might be pressed into service
but who would wake Charlie? There
is Jimmie Doyle's mules but they
can't be depended upon to sing at
the right time. Oliver Dunham's
dog would do but he'll be shut up in
the garage. The committee has
about decided that each man will
have to look out for himself.
Hark to the Alarm Clocks
In that event there will be the
worst purring Of alarm clocks on
Friday morning that has ever startled
Redwood Falls.
Austin is planning on giving the
tourists the time Of their young lives
