SAUTER'S SPEECH.
Earnest Appeal for Bryan Which
Convention Missed.

Joseph Sauter. of Synnes, attended
the Democratic state convention at
Duluth as one of the delegates from
Stevens county. He addressed the
convention in the interest of W. J.
Bryan. but on account of the difficulty
he had in being heard and the result
ing disorder, some Of the newspaper
correspondents. especially the one for
the Minneapolis Journal. spoke slight
ingly of Mr.. Sauter's remarks. The
Duluth papers, however. caught the
spirit of Mr.. Sauter's earnest appeal,
treated the incident more sympathetic
cally, and printed Mr.. Sauter's speech.
The following account is taken from
the Duluth News-Tribune =

Kill the Roosters.

Minnesota has surplus from her
farms, annually, of over a million
and a half cases Of eggs. Three-fifths
of these are produced before Septem-
her 1st of each year. The Government
experts consider that there is a loss of
5 per cent in value because of "chick
Development or because roosters
run with the laying flock. This COM
mon practice causes a loss of about
ST, 900, 600, annually, to the farmers
of Minnesota. What should be done ?
A few breeding cocks. the best pro-
duced, should be kept for exchange
with other farmers, or for sale. These
should be confined by themselves, like
all the other breeding stock of the
farm; and the rest shonld be killed
or sold at once. They should never be
allowed to run with the flock. You
will get just as many eggs; they will
cost you less; they are more easily
preserved; will withstand heat longer
| are better for shipping: are better
for storage; will save the hens from
injury during the molt; and they will &c
to laying sooner. Mate up your breeding
pens; keep two or three extra birds
for emergencies; then sell or kill all
the rest of the roosters on the farm.
Help save that million dollars: anc
perchance save yourself from paying
d fine of $50 for marketing eggs unfit
for human food. Let there be {
mighty slaughter of these non .produc
tive greedy. useless roosters on the
farm. E. Chapman, PouItryman

Present Offer On New Subscriptions is Positively the Highest
Vote Offer That Will Be Made During the Contest.
10000 Extra Votes for Every 20 New Ones
Under This Offer 100 New Subscribers will Count 600
Votes. If you Want a Piano Try Get 100
New Subscribers Before June 19.

The present offer of 10000 extra
votes for every 25 new local sub
scribers is positively the highest vote
offer that will be made during the
contest. At this rate 100 new sub
scribers will count candidate 22O,-
900 votes. Just think 100000 votes
for 100 new subscribers living in
Stevens or any other county adjacent
to Morris county. This offer makes it
possible for a girl to start working
hard now and win one of the Pianos
regardless of her present standing.
On June 20 we are going to award
to the candidates, absolutely free,
over $4,000 in Prizes. Among
the many valuable prizes are two
high grade Pianos. Two of the candi-
dates in our big contest are each going

Why not win one for yourself. Any
of the candidates can win one of the
Pianos by working hard from now
until the close. If you want one of
the Pianos work hard every day and
get all your friends to work for YOU.
The paramount object of our big
Piano Contest and the only reason we
inaugurated this mammoth subscrip-

greatly increase the circulation of the

TALLY SHEET.
First Choice
Second Choice

Necessary to elect, majority of
all votes cast or 121 votes.
At a glance it is apparent that none
of the candidates received a majority
of the votes cast for first choice.
If one had, the second choice feature
of the law would be imperative and
the candidate securing majority of
the votes cast in first choice votes
would be declared nominated.
ELIMINATE THE LOW MAN.
Now begins the elimination feature
over which so much controversy
wages. The candidate receiving the
lowest number of votes, which in this
hypothetical instance proves to be
Spooner. is dropped and his support
is thrown to Lee as the tally sheet
indicates that the ten people who
voted for Spooner as first choice Sc
lected Lee as second choice.
The same process is often followed
in an open caucus when the result of
the first canvass is announced. The
low man sees the handwriting on the
wall and withdraws and his support
goes to the man who is the second
choice of those supporting him.
No better example of this operation
can be given than the recent halloting
J for bishops at the general conference

RIFT IN ALLIANCE.
Between Dunn and Spooner
Dunn Leans to Progressives.

Mondays Pioneer Press. Failure
of H. H. Dunn to place L. C. Spooner
on the important elections committee
in his reorganization of the House
has given rise to the gossip that the
alliance so evident between the Speak
er and the man from Morris at the
last session has been broken. Mr..
Spooner entered the speakership fight
at the last moment and broke the
strength of ]. A. A. Burnquist, which
aroused the first resentment of the
Progressves against Mr.. Dunn.
"Spooner was given important
places on the committee on general
legislation and the committee on ap-
preparations. He was made chairman
of the latter committee. When
Klemer made his memorable charges.
Mr.. Spooner was one of the House
leaders selected by Mr. Dunn to dis
cipli1e the man from Rice county.
In this session Mr.. Spooner has
risen to his feet to address the House
only once, and that was Saturday to
make a minor suggestion relative to
the gross earnings tax bill. In the
committee on general legislation
Saturday Mr.. Spooner was able to
put insa few licks in support of the
Woodmen's bill.
Speaker Dunn did not appoint
Spooner to the elections committee,
neither did he place him on the en-
larged tax committee.
THE enlarged tax committee was
dominated by insurgents, who saw nc
reason for giving the Spooner guber-
material boom any impetus by permit
ing the man from Morris to introduce
the 5 per cent gross earnings bill.
Instead Messrs. Rines and Warner,
northern representatives, drew the
gross earnings bill and headed the
maneuvering that carried it through
the House.
"Ihe Speaker and Mr.. Spoonel
have been seen seldom in conference.
and it is said that the Albert Lee
man has been leaning toward the Pro-
gressiVe bunch in preference to the
croWdtWhich handled matters during
the regular session.

a. st. Paul Pioneer Press :-Legis-
lators are buried up to their ears in
the discussion of the first and second
choice features of the proposed state
wide primary. AS soon as the bodies
adjourn each day the members gather
in groups and with pencil and pad try
to figure out just how this innovation
will work out. 1t has the hare and
hound problem backed off the boards
for interest and when the theory of
the operation of a first and second
choice primary is grasped, its simpli-
city is apparent.
HOW 1T WOULD WORK.
To give graphic illustration of
the workings of the law the Pioneer
Press has taken the candidates for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor now in the field and applied to
them hypothetical example how the
law would operate. Just for illustra-
tion the First precinct is the smallest
unit of the primary law. If the Hay
craft Senate bill passes voter at the
primaries next September would be
handed a ballot which as regards CUB.
ernatorial candidates would look like
this:

Kerns-James.

The following is taken from the
Pend O'reille Review, of Standpoint,
Idaho =
One of the most beautiful we'd
Gings of the season was celebrated
Wednesday at high noon at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard on South
Second avenue.a The contracting
parties were Milton j. Kerns and
Miss Essie James both well-known
residents of Standpoint. The home
was beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion with bridal-wreath flowers and
carnations. The groom, dressed in
conventional black. and the bride,
beautifully gowned in white, appeared
before Rev. George Bray who pro
nounced the words which made them
man and wife. After the ceremony
beautiful six-course wedding dinner
was served. Only a few relatives
and friends witnessed the ceremony.
The couple left on the afternoon train
for short trip to Spokane and other
points.
The bride who has resided with hel
sisters in Standpoint for a year or more
has made many friends by her many
fine qualities of mind and heart. The
groom is connected with the Thoma.
son Bros. hardware company and has
host of friends to join in the con.
gratulations.

Unwarranted Criticism.

the criticism levelled at the build
er of the state road between here and
Donnelly. which appeared in last
week Sun. was entirely uwnarranted.
Pat Sweeney, who is in charge of
this work. is one OF the best road
builders in the county, and is doing
the best work possible with the money
he has available. 1t is not true that
sods were piled into the road and left
there, as is done by inexperienced
road builders, but Mr.. Sweeney did
not have the money to strip the sod,
so he moved the sods and dirt to the
grade and then put on disc and cut
the sods into very small pieces, sc
that already the road is smooth and
hard.
The very best roads cost money
and lots of it, and it is unfortunate
that we cannot afford more of them,
but so long as the road builders make
the best use of the money which is
given them. they are entitled tc
praise rather than criticism.
Assistant state engineer Johnson
expressed himself yesterday as we'll
pleased with the work on this road.
And it might be added that one OF
the smallest automobiles in Morris
came over this road recently at the
rate of 20 miles an hour without any
discomfort to the passengers at all.
