If Beltrami county wants to con-
tinue the lead it has attained in the
conduct of it's business, there is no
better solution than the continued
administration of it's present county
auditor, James L. George. That he
is competent auditor is self evil
dent and it is admitted by those
who have not been ardent sup
porters, and even men who are not
of the same party. Voters of this
county have reached that stage
where what they want is the man
who is most capable to conduct the
office.
James L. George has brought his

Fourteen years ago Antoine 5ideault, a French immigrant, bought fifty acres of worn-out sand barren near Fort Worthx Texzs. He paid sl0 an acre for 1t. It had been in cotton and grain till it refused to produce either, any more. No man who knew it would take 1t as a gift and the previous owner felt that he was finding money to get anything for it. They called it "the Ffenchman's Folly" Now it is the most famoss farm in the state. One practical farm ex- pert declares that 1t would pay the government of Texas to send every farmer there, on free trip, just for the increased production which it's in spection would stimulate.

 But, when we have arrived at con- clusion in that fundamental stratum of our sub -liminal~ consciousness,- when we really know what we are after-then it may very well be ju- dicious for us to study and sometimes to initiate the methods of those whose aims are practically identical with our own, whose opportunities have been

Written Specially for the BulIetln.)
 Eve often expressed my belief that fl is plum foolishness for us farm e,s to set about any blind imitation of ar other fellow. just because sald other fellow happens to have made success of his own peculiar methods. Every tub must stand on it's own DOL tom, and every farmer must WorK ms own farm according to his own ea- pacity.
 it is not only because no two farms are just alike: nor is it only because y.o two farmers are just alike:-it IS also because no two successes are the same The thing which one man may consider eminent success another may catalogue as pitiful failure. For ln- stance I know farmer whose farm IS having him wages every year and. with fair regularity and certainty. ten per cent. interest on the money 1n- vested in it. He puts a tidy sum into the bank, every season. His deposit now amounts to such an aggregate that bankers in the neighboring city find 1t worth their while to compete for his business. In other words, he has accumulated quite pot Of money.
 He has also accumulated prena- tcrely bent back, and lame legs, ana fingers so cramped and stiffened and crooked that they are fit for nothing but to hook on to dirt or title-deeds or setting hens or money, or some thing of that general sort
 1e has also accumulated T.am- moth greed and simple giganti~tef- hshness.
 He has still further acoumulatedfhe distrust and suspicion and more or less open hostility of all his neighbors.
 This farmer would be put down by the hbookkeeping statisticians of the depaGtnent of agriculture as having achieved success.
 I should rather incline to pity him as a miserable and monumental fail- ure a~.
 What you would think of him don't know, and don't care. The point Pm tryig to make is that our ideas of wbat constitutes success are likely to differ, and that we are wiser not to attempt imitation of what is labell- cd success in somebody else till we are sure that if is what we ourselves re- gard in that light.
 When I'm shooting at woodehuek almost always hit something ;-s stump or a COW or, at any rate, the landscape. But that doesn't make mt out good shot, just because I al ways hit something. It's hitting the thing you aim at which counts ai successful markmanship.
 If you're aiming after money singiy solely and sempiternally, 1t might wei be advisable for you to initiate in som, measure the methods of the chap wft has been successful in bagging tha / sort of game. But if you happen tt be aiming at good farming, good citi xenship, good development of you manhood, then you'd better look fo another kind of model to initiate.

NEW LONDON'S POLITICAL CONTEST Mayor Mahan Has Opposition For Head
 Of City Government PRENTIS EXPECTED TO MAKE BIG RUN Large Vote Looked for at Eection-Lihle Chance For Prohibtionists- Council Fares Appropriations Keep Inside of Tax-Location of New Fire Apparatus Left to New Committee.
,ENTIS EXPECTED TO MAKE BIG RUN

The democratic city convention did the expected and renominated Bryan F. Mahan for mayor of New London,
 in order that he would be in position
 to carry to completion the big things
 that he has undertaken for the ad-
 vancement of his native city, It was
 supposed, too, that in compliance with
 what seemed on the surface to be the
 public sentiment. that the republican
 city convention would make the noTll-
 ination unanimous. Many ef the
 party leaders were willing to take this
 unprecedented step under the existing
 conditions, but prior to the assembling
 of the convention 1t was made plain
 that such 8 move would meet with de-
 termined opposition. for there were al
 least two republicans who were seek
 ing the nomination. They were Ex-
 Mayor N. Wilson Dart who unex-
 pectediy defeated Mr. Mahan for the
 may orally when he was first a can
 didate for the ofice, and the other
 candidate was Alderman Samuel M.
 Prentis who has taken pride in op-
 posing almost every measure sug-
 gested by Mayor Mahan and ciashed
 with him on sidewalk construction that resulted in Alderman Prentis de- ciiuing to serve on the important standing committee to which he was appointed by the mayor.
 With candidates in the field. the re- publican city convention could not avoid naming q party candidate for mayor, and elected MT. Prentis, the nomination being made with unani- mity A notification committees had no difsculfy in locating MT. Prentis and escorting him to the convention where he made brief speech of ac- | eeptance and appreciation of the | honor that carried with the nominal 4 ton. MT. Prentis said he had a I platform for his campaign and that he | would have it printed and placed in | the possession of every voter of the cfty before the week ended. and that he expected to be the next mayor of l, New London.
 Mir. Prentis, like Mayor Mahan, is I native of the cit~ is somewhat younger and less experienced in pub 1 lie affairs in politics and public af- l fairs, but ia ambitious and something 1 of a worker himself It is given out that MT. Prentts expects the support 1 of the Armstrong wing Of the republi- l can party in the campaign against 1 Mayor MahRn as small army or spec | ial workers whose motto will be: l Anything to defeat Nahan." and he also is counting on the vigorous SUD- 1 port of the few prominent but not | over influential anti Mahan demo- erats, In fact, it was quietly .circu- lated at the convention that if MT l Prentis was not nominated by the re- publican party he would be urged te
Norwich bulletin., 1912-09-21

be the candidate on an independent ticket backed by these same forces.
 So the fight for the mayoralty is now on and Mayor Mahan believes that he will be elected in recognition of what he has aided in doing for the advancement of the city and his connection with the commission on the development of New London har- bor that was. made possible by the state appropriation of $1.00o,0oe that was secured partially if not wholly through his efforts. MT. Prentis on the other hand believes that the peo- pie of New London want a change In the mayoralty and is of the evident opinion that the mayoralty shoes are none too large for him.
 Both rspubIieans and dsmserats nominated strong city ard town tickets and if is now believed that there will be very little difference between the number of votes boiled at the November and October elections In the first ward the nominee for re- publican alderman is Charles c. Per kins, the present senior alderman, and pitted against him Is Edward Barry, who has served several terms in the council. In the second ward, Richard
 
 has been nominated for alderman by the republicans, and the democrats
 named as his opponent Andrew Maher,
 former member of the park commis- sion but whose political strength was never subjected to the ballot test. Mir. Maher although wanting the nomina- ton before the the caucus has since declined and the town committee had not at this writing flied the vacancy This declining of nominations seems | to be the rule in this ward and the I fellow who holds on is usually elect ed and practically without opposition. Last year the democrats first nonain- ated a socialist and he soon foun3 ! out that he was not eligible for dem ocratic nomination and at the eleventh | hour an unwilling candidate was se- cured. At the preceding election 1 there was another declination of a 1 democrat and substitution and the other fellow had an easy route to the | council chamber
 l In the third ward the republicans l introduced another who Is new to
 the political game. and John H. Root l Is named as the opponent of John J. l Ryan, the present alderman from that i ward.
 In the fourth ward the republicans
 have nominated Patrick J. Ryan who 1 has had service in the city council | and was an official in the highway de partment during the Armstrong ad- l minisIration, He Is considered g streng candidate and specially select 1 to to oppose Alderman James F. o. l tcontinued on Page Fiftesn.)
