the statutes now in effect the mem
bers of the executive committee and
the respective county chairmen do re-
quest the solicitor to prosecute the
same in their respective counties.
"All of which is respectfully sub
mitted."
The committee investigated from
three sources: l. The evidence fur
nished by the contestants; 2. The in
formation coming from the public
generally; and 8. The evidence to be
got from the records of the Democrat
ic party. =.
The contestants offered no testl-
mony, says the report. Much evidence
was transmitted by the public in the
shape of general charges and specific
instances which helped the committee
in it's work. While some Of the coun-
ty chairmen refused to help. General
ly the results of the county commit
tees work were satisfactory.
The report says that the first cir.
cumstances that aroused suspicion OF
fraud was the enormous vote cast IN
the primary. The public taking the
position that there was a system OF
fraudulent voting which would vitlate
the election, the report says that this
suspicion seemed well-founded.
A report from the census is sub
mitted and comparisons made there
from with the primary vote. In An
derson there were many "repeaters'
and one name appeared eight times.
In all there were IS cases in this
county. Other instances of irregulari-
ty are given. There were good many
instances of votes for state offices put
in county boxes and being counted by
the managers.
In comment: : on Orangeburg
county the report states that it was
necessary to send two of the commit
tee members here for an investiga-
tion and a report on that is made.
"We do not think it possible or
profitable, in view of the results OBJ
tanned, to pursue the investigation any
further, and ask that we be discharg-
ed from further connection with the
same"
The vote for Congress in the Third
District, as declared by the commit
tee was as follows:

good at the wrestling game as he looks
should be able to land a couple of good
matches here.
Brockus will be one of the attrac-

Friday night. Deitz will be his oppon-

as much interest as the big bout it.

movement inaugurated by the Better
Farming asst ciation,, which covers the

q mass meeting of Minot business men
at the Commercial club rooms last
nigh, when Thomas Cooper, secre-

the association will carry out Mr..
Cooper talk which was one OF the
most practical expositions of the bet
ter farming movement ever given in
the city was listened to with the great
est Of Interest, and at the discussion
which followed, the business men
agreed that the plan Of the associa-
rion IS q most feasible one. y
The plan I'M brief is to carry the
better farming through the employment
OF expert farm superintendent who
will conduct experimental plats in the
various v townships and show the far
mers thems selves just how to apply sci

for the reason that the average farm:

given to his own farm, which had its
own peculiarities and problems. The
Ip plan Of the asso ciation is to send an
