Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1912-05-16

Official figures show that the demo-
cratic campaign committee was supplied
with ample funds for conducting a
legitimate campaign in 1896, when
Bryan was a candidate for the first time.
The amount expended during the cam
palgn was $675,O00. The republican
party had money to burn. The total sum
Of the committees expenditures during
the campaign was s16,5 100000. Just
think of the enormous fund and the cor
rupting influence it must have had.
The republican party managed to pull
its candidate through, but this sixteen
and a half millions does not represent
the full financial energy required.
Nearly as much more was spent by
private individuals in purchasing nearly
all of the democratic daily paper of the
country. There was scarcely a news
paper OF general circulation, north of
the Mason and Dixon line, favorable to
Mr.. Bryan when the campaign was in
"AA6' l Dlyou was O0IoaC6Q Tor
president, but neither the man nor his
principles were defeated. He is prob
ably the most influential man in the
world today, and the principles he ad-
Vocated were so much in consonance
with the best interests of a democratic
form of government that most of them
have been accepted and enacted into
law and the rest are recognized by both
parties by declarations favorable to
them in their platforms and they too
will soon find place in the state and
national statutes. This bears out LIN
coins statement that you cannot fool
all of the people all of tho time. Nearly
all of the democrats and the great
majority of the republicans favor politi-
cal progression along] the lines always
advocated by Mr.. Bryan. Knowing that
he has been always right, through all
these years, is it any wonder that the
rank and file of democracy will follow
his lead blindly?

When Christmas gifts bear with them kindly thoughts or careful work on the part of their donor and recog hilton of good taste in those to whom them are given, the recipients are sure to be pleased. And. whether the purse be fat or lean, good manage ment and cleverness make 1t possible to embody these ideas in all gifts. Those which are the handiwork of the giver are whose which make the strongest appeal to our hearts and bring home the sweet, gracious spirit of Christmas.
 What taxes us most each year is the matter of deciding on what to give. After this has been settled upon and our list made out. the rest is easy and the work pleasure. There are innumerable pretty things for women and girls. All of them love articles made to decorate their homes, and those made for their personal adorn- ment; SO the choice is not so hard. It does require some thing to find out gifts for men. But we won't go far wrong if we stick to things which add to their comfort. And they like. too, those things which add to the attrac- tiveness of their rooms.
 About the prettiest and easiest gift to make Is the bewitching breakfast cap. Everybody, that Is anybody, has little frivolous and dainty cap for morning wear these days. They are delight to the eye and anybody may own one. Some people call them boudoir caps and, furthermore, there are caps made of nicer materials which are worn in the evening and are called opera caps. They are all simply made. It isn't bad idea t0 decide on gift of this kind and make them up for all ones girl or women friends. Each one may have some little individual touch to make 1t diff ferent from the others. By planning to make several caps at one sitting there is saving in material and time.
 These caps are very inexpensive. They are made of plain or dotted net. all-over lace. thin silk, null, batiste. embroidery and chiffon and edged with narrow plaitings of net or lace. A square of the fabric used makes the crown, that is a piece of goods IS inches wide and of the same length is all that is required for the crown. The corners are trimmed away mak- ing the pieces somewhat circular. A narrow binding Is sewed about the edge of this piece and an elastic cord run in. It is long enough to reach about the head with little stretch ing. A single or a double fall of plaited net or lace is sewed about the edge. one row being slightly wider than the others and falling a half inch below it. A single ruffle is often edged with narrow ribbon.
 The cap shown in Fig. 1 has 3 crown of sheer eyelet embroidery with a double ruffle falling about the face. The upper ruffle Is edged with mar row valenciennes insertion. These

new CANNERIES FOR SUSSEX.

Reports from all parts of Sussex
County are to the effect that large acre
ages of tomatoes will be put out this
year, and canneries in all sections are
preparing for the extensive crop expect
ed, if conditions are favorable.
In the eastern section of the county
four or five new canneries will be built
in time for operations this summer, and
they are already contracting with the
farmers in the immediate locality where
they will be built.
The Midway Canning Company, near
Lewes, was recently organized, and
many of the farmers have already con-
tracted to grow tomatoes at 15 cents
the five-eighth basket, or SO per ton.
Factories, it is said, will be built at
Wolfe's Crossing, between Ellendale
and Milton, while two factories, it is
said, will be erected at Glendale and
probably another at Lincoln. Wood
land, about five miles from SeafOrd,
will have one, and it is reported that
one will be established at Greenwood.
In the vicinity of Milton about fifteen
factories will be operated. Four fac
tories are located in Milton alone, which
is undoubtedly the centre of the toma-
to industry of Sussex county.

OLDEST RESIDENT
Mrs. E. A. Marshall Passes Away When
Close to Century of Age.

Price has been a lifelong member OF
the church at Lewes.
The funeral of Mrs. Eliza Ann Mar
shall, widow of David ]. Marshall, took
place Tuesday from st. Peters Church.
The deceased was the oldest resident OF
Lewes. Had she lived two weeks longer
she would have been SO years old. Until
ten years ago she was active and an In
teresting talker, and a source of much
information about the early days. Hel
son, Thomas C. Marshall, of Lewes, and
daughters, Mrs. William Noonan, OF
Lewes, and Mrs. H. B. Louderman, OF
st. Louis, survive.
1t was no surprise to the Lewes pub
lie when they learned that Ebe I. Lynch,
had been agreed on for postmaster to
succeed Charles C. Hickman, the present
incumbent.
A movement has been started to re-
organize the Lewes Board of Trade. A
public meeting will be held Friday even
ing for organization. The appropriation
for the Assowoman Canal of $50, 900 is
an inspiration for an extended progress
sive movement for the town and the ne
cessity for organized methods prompts
the movement to get a good live Board
