Let the Dixon-C Campbell combine
tion-the personal expressions OF
special privilege-be beaten more
humiliatingly than men were ever
beaten, and let the victory of Tully
Scott be more overwhelming than any
in the state history.
1t is no longer question of part
isanship, but a clean-cut struggle
between the people and organized
greed. A vote for Dixon is q vote for
Campbell and the Coroporations-a
vote for Tully Scott is a vote for Fair

Dixon as an Independent.

There can be no shadow of doubt
that the announcement of John Il.
Dixon as IN independent candidate for
the supreme court Is in the interest OF
John Campbell, the present incumbent
and republican nominee forre-eiectton.
Nor is it any the less plain that the
Dixon candidacy Is in the interest OF
the bipartisan combination that has
held our courts in sinister grip for SO
many years.

Ifall the people in Colorado,
who have been benefited by the
diligent work of congressman at
large Edward T. Taylor during
the past four years should vote
for him on November 5th, he
would be reelected by $4,000
majority is the belief of the
leading democrats of this state
and the big chiefs at Washington
D. C.
He has made q most remark
able record during the four years
he has been in Congress and
thisrecord is in keeping with that
which he made during the twelve
years service he gave to Colo
RADIO citizens in the state senate.
Edward T. Taylor has been
serving the people of Colorado
for sixteen consecutive years and
curing that time there has been
but few days, if any that this
service has not been of very
material benefit to the people
and to the state.

kept up his record made in the

A Change in Banking Circles.

A consolidation OF the Traders State
Bank and the Cheyenne County State
Bank, both of Cheyenne Wells, was
effected Tuesday.
In reorganization of the two in
titutions J. F. Mccarthy was elected
president and W. r. Mccarthy, cash
Ter. 1t had been known for some time
past that the management OF the
Cheyenne County State Bank was en-
tirely out of harmony with the ,peo-
pie, and the result was heavy drain
on their deposits. Lately matters be-
came of such serious nature as to
make an immediate change necessary
which very happily resulted in the
consolidation of the two banks. Every
one will be paid in full who had mon
ey deposited in the old bank and the
banking business will now be on a
much more satisfactory and safe basis.
The doors of the Traders State Bank
are closed this week and Mr.. Mccarthy
is at the Cheyenne County State Bank.
Next Monday, however, the money
and books of the old bank will be
moved to the Traders State Bank
building, the name of the Traders
State Bank will be dropped and the
business opened under the name of
the Cheyenne County State Bank with
the above named officers in charge.
The conditions which brought about
the capitulation of the Cheyenne
County State Bank to its more worthy
competitor is sad commentary upon
the part of the officers of this bank to
control the politics of this county for
self aggrandizement personal
gain. The pernicious activity of this
bank in the channels of both business
and politics has lately caused the
withdrawal of scores of customers
who were independent of their power,
and the closing of its doors was inev-
table. The passing of the old Chey-
enne County State Bank leaves some
of our county candidates in pitiable
who had pinned
their hopes to an institution that has
dominated the political situation in
this county for years, but who are
now, poor fools and tools, left sus-
pended in an impenetrable erebus with
NO one to carry the water or give sue
cor to their dying ambitions.

federal statute books some twen-
ty five laws for the betterment of
the west in general and Colorado
in particular. His most important
service has been in the way of
relief to the settlers upon public
lands. The three year homestead
bill of which he is the father and
for which he had to fight the
secretary of interior and a gang
of land grafters for five months
before he finally secured its pas
sage, and which is one of the
greatest pieces of constructive
legislation ever enacted by con-
gress for the benefit of the west.
His work on this measure alone
has been praised by almost every
newspaper in the fifteen western
states, and by many thousand
public spirited citizens in all
parties.
What ever you do in the booth
when you cast your ballot, vote
for Edward T. Taylor, for it is
because there are such men in
public life as Edward T. Taylor
that make it possible for the peo-

FEED BARNS
ARE: DEMANDED /. ! / I:
FARMERS SAY THEY PAY TOO
MUCH FOE CARE OF TEAMS
WHEN VISITING IN CITY.

A prominent Ramsey county farmer
called 1t The World Office Saturday
afternoon and asked the question whe-
ther or not we wanted farmers to come
to our city. On being told that we
certainly did, he asked us to take the
initiative in securing cheaper and bet
ter shelter fpr teams from the coun-
Try. The gentleman claims that farm.
ers are being charged all the way from
e5 cents to one dollar by the LEGAL feed
barns for caring for teams from the
country and that many times these
prices are charged and neither feed o,
water furnished. If what he says is
true, here is certainly something which
our Commercial club could take hold
OF. and straighten out with undoubted
benefit to the city, and we would sug
gest that the club investigate the mat
ter at once. The farmers trade is the
life blood Of Devils Lake, and farm
ers should be encouraged in every pos
side way to come here to buy theil
supplies and to market their produce

The fact that man after man who
would support Roosevelt is also Han

reformer who is after Hanna's goat,
Roosevelt in turn being close friend
Of Mr.. Hanna's.
With the possibility of third par

date is being considered, while the
fact that G. A. johnson has again
become identified in the newspaper
game, having purchased the Minot
Reporter from Dorr Carol, secretary
Of the third party movement in this
state has been looked upon by many to
mean that G. A. johnson would like to
be timber for governor in the event
that the third party state tickle was
decided upon. This in he face Of the
hope Of some in bringing about Blu.
chanans election by the Fargo Cour-
ier-News, ct al investigation, makes
a middle in political affairs which not
only assures Hanna's election, but at
the same time keeps he voting popu.

not Dragging about what they are
going to do along the line Of national
affairs, but will remain steadfast in
support Of the state ticket as nom.

Of EN||NG Of
SCHOOL MAY
Be DELAYED
THIS YEAR

The Devils Lake schools will very
likely not be opened until September
9, this year, instead Of September 3rd
as is usually 4he case. This matter is
under consideration of the local school
board who will likely decide to ex-
tend the year longer at the other end.
While the matter is not definitely
decided the fact that the new school
building will not be completed septem-
Der End and will likely be finished hv
September 9, is the reason for the de-
lay.
The large attendance at all schools
will make classes very crowded if the
room provided by the new school
building and while work is being rush.
ed it is not likely chat the building
will be completed in time for the
scheduled time of opening school.

SOME PIPE DREAMER BELIEVES
THAT MIR. BUCHANAN STILL
HAS A CHANCE,
OFFICIAL COUNT HAS NEVER
BEEN GIVEN OUT, BUT
SHOULD COME SOON.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Aug. TO-
Anything to beat L. B. Hanna, seems
to be the purpose Of the movement
now under way in North Dakota, &C.
cording to advices coming thick and
fast relative to the political situation
in this state following the Third party
convention at Chicago.
Unable to arrive at anything def
nit as far as mapping out state
ticket is concerned at the last meeting
called for the purpose Of electing del
egates to the Chicago Bull Moose con
vention, it is understood that a few
have set to work to investigate the
election of June 26, and hope by
"hook or crook" to change the re-
suit and make Buchanan the victor 70,
the republican nomination for gov
ernor.
According to word passed out by
Manager Baker Of the Fargo Courier
News, there will be smething "pop
ping" in few days, but just what
grounds tae Buchananites hope to base
their victory on, can not be imagined
Some say the second choice votes will
have something to do with it, but il
the second choice votes thrown out
then Hanna is an easier winner thar
under present circumstances.
While no official returns have beer
given out as to the exact count or
the nomination for governor, still il
is hardly pssible that the figures
which the secretary of state has in hi,
possession will show any materia
change and it is expected the ofacia
count, which is due now, will be forth
coming most any day.

been called to find out where tho cleo

for this purpose alone, but rather t.
