A few weeks ago quite national
sensation was aroused by the break
between Woodrow Wilson, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
president, and Col. George B. M. Har-

break came when Col. Harvey with
drew his support from Gov. Wilson,
which withdrawal was followed by an
explanation by Col. Watterson, who
stated that the support was with
drawn because Gov. Wilson requested

the support of Col. Harvey. whose

Hurry following this rupture, Col.

Washington, Jan 26.-Interest in
the controversy between Woodrow

to Col Watterson's appeal for fran

A BIG DAY AT HOPE.
Fourth Of July Celebration
was a Big Success.
Hundreds of People En-
Joy Hospitality of City.

Joy Hospitality of City.
In spite of the threatening
clouds, early Thursday morning
there were hundreds of teams
and automobiles loaded to capa
city on the road to Hope to attend
the big celebration and when they
arrived found every thing ready
for their pleasure. The HopeCon-
cert Band, under the direction of
Prof. Bilden, opened the day with
a concert lasting almost an hour
and then marched to the Base
Ball Grounds where teams repre-
senting Pillsbury and Colgate
we're to struggle for the purse
offered by the Committee.
The Game was one of the best
ever seen on the Hope Diamond.
Both teams were in the pink of
condition and were loaded for the
game, as it was the rubber. each
one having previously won a
game. The result wasa victory
forPillsburyiby a score of 10 to 9.
G. 3, F%othergill, manager of the
victors vas the star for them and
did more than his share toward
winning the game by hitting the
ball on the nose whenever he had
a chance. Paul Roney for Col
gate was the champion clouter.
Messers. Knoblauch and Ed. W.
Hanson gave very good s~atisfac-
ton as arbitarbiters.
Following dinner was the treat
of the day, the Grafton at the
Opera house by DR.. J. Nj. Walters
of Fargo, He is one of the finest
orators in the state and his ad-
dress was worth coming miles to
hear.
The Ball Game between Lu-
verne and Hope, owing to some
unfortunate circumference in
the first innings, was too slow,
but never the.less after things
got started was quite interesting
Hope was the winner by a score
of { to 5. The game was a tight
one and both pitchers. Palfrey
for Hope and Jensen for Luverne,
did excellent work.
The Field Sports after supper
closed the out door exc, ci ,es
There was plenty of competition
i'll every event and the crowd en-
joyed them as much as the parti-
cipants.
The Grand Ball at the opera
house closed the day and every.
one wl'o was there enjoyed the
best Fourth of July dance that
they ever attended. About
eighty couples were on the floor.
Carpenters Dance Orchestra
furnished the music and played
until the sky in the east gave
warning that day light was at
hand.
Other features that provided
excellent entertainment for the
crowds we're the Bjnu, Hopes
popular motion picture theatre
and the Merry go round. Both
places we're ,aJronized freely and

people await their turns.
The celebration as "A whole wa,
a great success and, during the.
whole day we heard no word of
complaint from any visitor. The
weather, altho threatening with
black clouds at times, was
ideal and so there was nothing to
spoil any good time. Let's all
do it again next year.
