j. II. Meyer of Denver, who is
interested in the Terrace Reser-
voir proposition, holding quite an
extensive tract of land in that
vicinity, was seriously injured
Tuesday while looking after his
interests. 1t is supposed he was
standing beside the vehicle when
the horse became suddenly fright
eped and started to run, throwing
him against the bank of earth close
by and rupturing a kidney. He
was brought to the Schailer hos
pital where he was attended by
Drs. Trueblood and Pollock who
report his condition AS improving
and some hopes are entertained
for his recovery.

soil and much work and labor in
the handling of the crop.
The farmers in Northern Colo
RADIO always spend forty five dol
lars an acre in the raising of the
beet crop, but this will produce a
crop that will sell for $4,000.
Think what it would mean to the
San Luis Valley if $1,000 acres of
beets were raised this year at an
expense of $675, 10000, and returns
to the farmer amounting to 81 ,5OO,-
600. These amounts added 10 the
expense of operating the Factory
would distribute such an enormous
amount of money throughout the
country that the financial prosper
ity of our people could hardly be
realized.
The raising of this acreage would
start railroad construction through
out the valley to deliver the crop,
and increase several times the
present population of the valley.
With the Sugar Factory al
ready built and in operation, this
valley should go forward with leaps
and bounds, and we cannot but
believe that if every man knew the
wonderful possibilities that the
Sugar Beet Industry will bring to
this valley, that the San Luis Val
Icy Sugar Company would pay out
81, 00,O0O0O for beets next year

Assumed Power TO Nominate.

Had it been the intention OF the del
egates in convention assembled to con.
fer such powers as the executive COM
mittee of the state central committee,
assisted by Mr.. Carroll, assumed in
nominating Mayor Sweet, it is presum-
able that they would have incorporat-
ed the authority in the resolution
adopted. The TACT that it was omit
ted is taken for granted that the con-
vention did not care to go on record
as broadening the powers OF the ex-
ecutive committee, assisted by Mr..
Carroll, to that extent.
Section 632, of the Revised Code of
North Dakota, clearly says that va
cancies occurring on ballot prior to
election may only be filled by the
state central committee when author
lied by action of the nominating con-
venuon. If such powers are not con-
ferred by the nominating convention,
then the vacancies must be filled by a
regularly called convention. IT,.
If the letter of the law is adhered to,
the third state party can have no can
didate for governor except by calling
another convention. 1t is always Gus
tomary at political conventions to con-
slider the possibility of vacancy oc-
curing on the ballot before election
day, by death or otherwise, and dele.
gate the powers of filling such vacan-
cies to the state central committee
of the party holding the convention.
The Progressive Republicans recog-
nized this fundamental principal OF
empowered their state central COM
mittee. -

Alfalfa Promising
Crop In North Dakota
Dieter Farming Special service.)

Dieter Farming Special Service.)
Grand Forks. Sept. Although
North Dakota farmers have been grow
ing clover for some time, alfalfa as q
North Dakota crop is having his first
real test by the farmers this year.
Secretary Cooper is especially enthu-
siastic over the predicted success OF
this crop and reports received by the
Better Farming Special Service bureau
at Grand Forks indicate rapid prog
ress. ..a<s s@,,s
Farmers of Wells county, according
to J. V. Bopp, the Better Farming ex-
pert, are greatly interested in alfalfa
growing this year. There are already
good fields in some sections, but about
100 farmers seeded new fields. The
new fields vary in size from a frac-
tional acre to so acres. Approximate
ly $50 acres were sown this year and
undoubtedly the alfalfa acreage is
near the $50 acre mark. The favor
able season caused the alfalfa to make
a large and rapid growth so that a
number of farmers made crop of
hay this year. They had some bene-
fit or an income for the use of the
land this year. Weeds were big fac
tor and some fields were clipped two
or three times to keep them under
control Farmers are enthusiastic and
if the alfalfa winters as it now prom
Uses, the present acreage will cut much
hay and hundreds of acres will be
soWn next year.

DID POLITICAL CHICANERy PLAY
PART IN Third STATE MEETING?
These Are Questions That Must Be Answered In
Connection With Choosing Mayor Sweet,
OF Fargo, As Candidate.

of the convention to be suppressed
longer, the executive committee of the
third state party, assisted by Dorr H.
Carroll, last night placed Mayor Sweet
on the ticket as candidate for gov
ernor.
Even if the executive committee and
Mr.. Carroll did not know of DR.. GREGG
ans qualifications at the time he was
nominated, the fact that they learned
of his disqualification the same night
the convention adjourned, is regarded
as a breach of good faith on their part
by supporters who were sincere in en-
trusting them with the safe conduct of
the convention.
The strong play of the promoters
and organizers of the third state party
movement has been that they are the
original, simon pure, progressives and
only supporters Of Colonel Roosevelt.
At the same time, their caucus ar
rangement to nominate Mayor Sweet
was planned and held in allegiance IN
til the arrival of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Colonel Roosevelt was not advised of
the Disqualification of DR.. Creegan,
when he requested the educators NOM
ination, so, to assume an attitude of
acquiescence, the executive commit
tee, assisted by Mr.. Carroll, threw
their hats in the air and shouted for
DR.. Creegan.
Must Explain.
The executive committee, assisted
by Mr.. Carroll, will now have to de-
vote great part of their campaign,
which would otherwise be spent in ex-
pounding reasons for third state
ticket, explaining taht Colonel Roose-
welt was not double crossed.
The faint of political chicanery does
not end with the putting over of Mayor
Sweet. Delegates to the third party
state convention do not recall of any
resolution being adopted authorizing
the state central committee, or it's ex-
ecutive committee, assisted by Mr..
Carroll, to nominate candidate for
governor or any other state Office,
should vacancy occur. 1t was either
an Intentional or unintentional omis-
sion on the part Of the managers Of
the convention and the executive COM
mfttee, assisted by Mr.. Carroll. The
convention did authorize tl1a state cen.
trail committee to nominate . candi-
date for the Office OF commissions Of
agriculture and labor. and the resolu-
ton was specific in limiting the powers
Of that committee to the one nomina-
ton.

Was Colonel Roosevelt buncoed?
This is the question being asked in
all parts of the state, following the
announcement that DR.. c. C. Creegan,
Roosevelt's choice for candidate for
governor on the third party state tick
ct and declared the nominee of the
third state party, is disqualified because
of lack of five years residence in North
Dakota, as provided by the state con-
stitution. The executive committee of
the state central committee, assisted
by Chairman Dorr H. Carroll, without
authority conferred by the state con-
vention which met at Fargo last Fri
day, have now placed Mayor Sweet of
Fargo, in nomination.
The fact that Mayor Sweet was the
unanimous choice of the promoters
and managers Of the third state con-
vention until the arrival of Colonel
Roosevelt, and it had been planned to
nominate him as candidate for gov
ernor until Roosevelt requested that
his old friend, DIR. Creegan, be named,
leads to the question:
Was Colonel Roosevelt Runcoed?
1t is well founded belief that the pro-
moters/ and managers of the third
party state convention knew of DR..
Creegan's disqualification long before
Colonel Roosevelt's arrival, knew he
could not legally be a candidate at
the time he was nominated, but sup
pressed al these facts until the colonel
was well out of the state. From re.
liable sources it is learned that DR..
Creegan was advised of his disquaiif-
cation on the night Of his nomination.
or learned of it, and rendered his res.
ignation to the state central commit
tee that night, but Colonel Roosevelt
was not yet out of the state and the
matter was kept under cover until the
leader of the national third party was
well on his way to the Pacific coast.
All Saturday night, Sunday, Sunday
night and Monday, attempts were
made to keep the matter of DR.. Creeg.
ans qualifications quiet. ostensibly Tor

Roosevelt being communicated with
and interfering with the program that
had been mapped ont by the promoters
and managers Of the Third party state
convention.

without significance further than that
the grass is fine out there, and Ma
