THREE DEMS. in RACE
Three Democrats Considered in Race
at Mass Meeting Saturday Night
Wilson, Harmon and Bryan.

That three prominent democrats
are considered in the race for the
presidential nomination at Baltimore
by Fargoans was shown by the straw
vote taken at the meeting held at the
z. M. c. A. Saturday night, when the
names Of candidates were mentioned
in speeches setting forth the q~ualifi-
cations Of each for the presidency.
The result of the straw vote was
Wilson IA, Harmon 6. and Bryan 1.
From this it was evident that both
the Ohio and New Jersey governors
are either greater favorites or are
considered more in the light of pos
sibilities than the Nebraskan who was
so recently in the city.
Melvin d. Hildreth presented the
name Of Gov. Woodrow Wilson at the
meeting in a most able address. en-
phasizing the Princeton mans stand
for clean politics and his defeat of
Boss Smith, the democratic candidate
for the senate. In the talk for Gov.
Judson Harmon, made by Robert G..
Paterson, attention was called to the
experience and record of the buckeye
as a state executive and as a cabinet
official. Denial was made of his
rumored allegiance with Wall street.

MANY FAMILIES
COMING BACK
500 RESIDENTS or sAskATcHE-
WAN WANT TO LOCATE IN
AMERICAN NORTHWESTERN
REsENTATlvE IS VISITING VAR.
Ious CITIES IN NORTHWEST.

Grand Forks Herald: Coming back
to North Dakota. This is the slogan
of no less than 500 former residents
of North Dakota and Minnesota who
have been existing the last few a
in Saskatchewan. These former resi-
dents Of the American northwest have
become convinced that they cannot
make good in the region of Saskatche-
wan that they settled in because of
the early frost and sent back as their
special agent J. Albert Johnson. MI.
Johnson lived for some time In the
vicinity OF Langdon.
Mr.. Johnson spent several days j n
Grand Forks last week. He says that
crops which look fine in July do not
mature, their loss being due to frosts
and freezing weather in early August.
Mr.. Johnson is visiting different To-
calities in the northwest looking for
land that can be obtained on easy
terms for the prodigal sons are COM
ing back as did the prodigal son Of
Biblical times.
According to Mr.. Johnson, there is
no place where the crops are surer or
the living better than North Dakota
and Minnesota. He says that hun
dreds would be on their way back now
IL it were not for the fact that they
have their entire savings invested in
Canada and feeling that they must
stay with the project. Naturally every
effort is being made by land men and
commercial organizations to make the
return home easy. ..,

knockers, as enemies to be "unmask-
ed. His insulting references to me,
both while / was at the meeting and
after / went out, 1 care nothing about,
personally. / only refer to them to
show how much actions stir up bad
blood. An enthusiastic supporter of
the Sunday revival, a man not of my
congregation, said to one Of the mem
bers of this church, "For that insult
ing treatment Of DR.. Beard hat man
(refeEring to Mr.. Sundays advance
agent) ought to be made to apologize"
But IL he had been gentleman enough
to apologize the fact would still re-
main that his insulting manner and
method are predominant characteris-
tics of this campaign thus far.
Why was it necessary for him to slur
DR.. GLADDEN. of Columbus, o.? Some
body called attention to the fact that 1
had received some yer damaging let
tiers concerning the results of Mr.. Sun
days work. He retorted, in a most
impudent way. Eyes, he has beer or
responding with DR.. GLADDEN., an old
man in his dotage.' The simple fact
is / did not write to DR.. GLADDEN.,
neither did he write to me.
DR.. GLADDEN. is one of the ablest and
saintliest men in any denomination,
the world over, and his intellectual and
spiritual power was never greater and
more effective than it is today.
I now discover that those of my
people who cannot conscientiously in
dorse Mr.. Sundays methods are not
to be allowed freedom to follow their
own convictions, undisturbed. They

wrong. 1t does not become any of us
to dogmatise and to be cocksure that
one opinion is right rather than anoth-
er. The only course for an honest man
is to follow his convictions.
One of the glories Of the Congrega-
tional church is the fact that in 1t mem
with the most widely divergent opin-
ions can live together in peace, as
can respect and love each other as
brethren.
Some of those who believe in Mr..
Sundays methods are among the best
friends I ever had, or ever expect to
have. I earnestly ask all such to pay
me the compliment Of saying by your
actions that you believe me when I
say that / will respect you and love
you all the more IL you follow your
own convictions, rather than to try to
show you loyalty to me by doing as 1
do because I do 1t.
One final word-whatever Is said or
done by others let us as members of
this church and congregation, whether
participants or non-participants in the
Sunday meetings, strive to be patient,
tolerant and kind. And may our heav-
emily Father guide and help us all to
do His holy will.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-03-11

must stifle their convictions and come
out and take an active part in pro-
noting these meetings or be treated as
knockers, hypocrites and enemies to
be "unmasked'. They do not wish to
put a straw in the way of those who
believe in Mr.. Sundays methods, but
pating in a type Of revival they do
not believe in.
One of the unfortunate things about
the occurrences Of the last few days is
the fact that more bad blood has been
shown than I nave seen before in my
thirty years acquaintance with the
people of Fargo.
/ love my brethren, members and
ministers of all the churches, and 1t
grieves me beyond expression to have
outside influences come in to work
alienation among brethren.
In view OF all these facts which I
have mentioned and many others which
/ might have mentioned, further par
ticipation by me in this movement is
simply impossible. From this point on
/ shall have nothing to do. in any way,
with the revival campaign Of Mr.. Sun
day,
Now 1 want to say a very special
word to those Of my church who be-
lieve in the methods Of Mr.. Sunday. 1
ask you, 1 beg Of you, to express your
confidence in my fairness to those who
differ with me, in opinion, by going
right on'in this work, and rendering all
the service you possibly can. God will

Little Trouble to Dehorn.

Just now Is the time to look over
the herd and attend to dehorning.
There is no question any longer about
the value OF dehorning as means of
quieting the animals and removing
danger both to the animals themselves
and to the men. who handle them.
Those who are opposed to the process
on the ground of cruelty have not in
yestigated the subject sufficiently and
are not familiar with actual condi-
tions.
The simplest way to dehorn the
heifers is to take them when from one
to three DAYS old and apply caustic
potash to the place where the horn
will come. There will be slight
bump or button" at the place, and
this should first be scraped thin with
a knife. Then it should be slightly
moistened and little of the potash
rubbed on. Do not let any of the
caustic get in the eyes or run down
the cheeks CT the calf, as it will make
unsightly scars and cause some pain.
For the older heifers or steers up to
two or three months, it is quite easy
to cut off the small stubs and apply
caustic This is not always so satisfac-
tory, however, as a deformed horn
sometimes grows.
It is not generally advisable to de-
horn the bull until he is older. The
reason is not that he will not develop
full masculinity, although some good
breeders claim this to be true. The
reason is that il he is dehorned when
calf, he will soon learn to butt with
his head, and will always be more or
less dangerous II he is not dehorned
until after his horns have developed,
he will be deprived of his only weap-
ons and will be comparatively safe.
Any other horns, however, can be
neatly and easily removed with a
clipper.
The clipper used at the college of
agriculture Is one which has four cut
ting edges. We always apply vase
line at the base OF the horn before
clipping. and pine tar afterward.
Occasionally a cow will bleed exces-
sively from the cut end. This can
generally be stopped by putting a
strong cord around the poll and twist
ing a stick in 1t until the artery Is
compressed.
