Judge Martin Williams, who was

leSes and Elections Of the last House
or Delegates, which considered the
primary bill. also did not like this
criticism He did not think negroes

AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR NEW SETTLERS,

eadIands Said to be an Ideal Loca.
ton for Those Of Small Means.
Commissioner of Agriculture w. c.
Gilbreath is in receipt of letter from
Mr.. H. H. Fleek of Elmgrove in north
western Dunn county, which should in

looking for ideal conditions for engag-
ing in diversified farming, and whose
capital is limited.
Elmgrove is situated in what are gen.
orally described as the "Badlands" and
Mr.. Fleek has made it his home for
seven years. The result of his expert
ence is that the locality is just the place
for persons of small means who are pre-

such as the combination dairying
with a few mich cows and grain raisl

POULTRY SHOW At
THE EXPOSITION.

There has been such a demand for
a poultry department in connection
with the Exposition that it has been
decided to add this additional exhibit
A number of gentlemen and breeders
have volunteered to assume the imme-
date management of this industry and
have sent out letters to a large num-
Der of persons who are breeders of
various kinds of chickens. Consider
able enthusiasm has been aroused and
it is anticipated that one of the larg-
est exhibits ever shown in the state
will be seen during the exposition.

superior breeds should avail themselves
of this opportunity, as liberal premiums
will be offered.

Why the Industrial Exposition
is Held at Bismarck, N. Oak.

board. This board is composed of
the governor, whose home is in RAM
sey county; the state auditor, whose
home is in Towner county; the secre-
tary of state, who lives in Adams coun-
ty; the state treasurer, whose resi-
dencc is in Walsh county, and the
attorney general who is located in
Burleigh county. Here are five state
officials, two of whom live in what
is known as the Lake Region" one
in the Red River valley, one in the
extreme southwestern part Of the state,
and only one at Bismarck. This board
did not hastily decide when they To-
Gated the exposition at Bismarck, but
carefully considered the proposition
from all points of view, finally decid-
ing, under all the circumstances, the
cost of transporting and installing ex-
hibits, and the general expense of con-
Quoting and maintaining the exposition,
convenience for the greater number IN
accessibility by railway, and for other
reasons, already mentioned, that Bis
marck was the logical point. Addi-
tional arguments which might be ad-
vanced in favor of the exposition be-
ing held at Bismarck are the excep-
tionally fine hotel accommodations in
the capital city for taking care of the
large number of lransients rendered
necessary by the biennial sessions of
the state legislature, and the convent
ence for personal and constant super
vision by the state officials who con-
stitute the state auditing board.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-05-29

Notwithstanding the fact that Bis
marck stands fourth on the list of
cities in population in North Dakota,
there are nevertheless many cogent
reasons why it is The very best loca-
ton for the State Industrial EXPOSE
ton, the second of which will be held
at the state capital from October LIST
to 18th this year.
In the first place Bismarck is the
capital city Of the state, and therefore
naturally the one point toward which
the eyes of our citizens are turned
whenever any project having for its OBJ
ject the benefit of the whole common
wealth, is undertaken.
Bismarck is also the nearest city of
any size to the geographical center of
the state and also to the center of
population, that possesses a building
adapted in every way for exposi tion
purposes, containing over $4,000 square
feet of floor space, capable of inexpen-
i've enlargement, l1andily located in
the vicinity Of railway lines, and Gen.
trally located for the convenience of
the visiting public.
For convenience of access from all
parts of the state by railway communi
cations Bismarck is probably the most
favored city in North Dakota. 1t has
direct access from the west by the
Northern Pacific; by the Mott line
from the southwest, from the north
west by the Stanton branch of the
Northern Pacific; from the east by
the main line of the Northern Pacific
and its numerous connections with its
own branches and those of the Great
Northern; from the north by the $500"
and its connections; from the south
and southwest by the $780, and he
Linton branch. Here are practically
seven different routes running into Bis
marck, not to mention the Milwaukee
& St. Paul and Great Northern which
approach close to the city or Indirect
ly connect with it. These routes tap
every point of the compass and make
it possible to reach Bismarck from
nearly every part of the state on the
same day as the traveller starts on his
journey.
As regards expense of operating such
an undertaking as a state industrial ex-
position, Bismarck again shows up very
favorably as compared with any other
city, and this cost is not more than
one-half of what it would be else
where. The rent of a similar build
ing in any other city would be at
least $4,000, or if such a building was
erected for such a purpose, the inter-
est and sinking funds would amount to
even a larger amount Furnishings
suitable for exposition purposes would
cost at least $1,000: clerical assistance
would mean another $4,000; while in
cidentals, absolutely unavoidable in the
successful promotion of such an enter
prise, would aggregate at low es-
innate, $1,000 or $1,000 more. These
items total up a sum of at least $4,000,
all of which is saved by holding the
exposition at the capital city.
1t should be understood that the
commissioner of agriculture and labor
does not have the final disposition of
this exposition. While it is true that
he can recommend, the final decision, as
| to where the exposition shall be held,
| lies entirely with the state auditing

which will be much larger than last
year.
The dairy contest cannot fail to bring
out some close competition and result
in conveying information to those who
are interested in this rapidly develop
ing industry.
Negotiations are being made for the
best two weeks of vaudeville perform
ance ever presented in the state. Spec
ialties of superior character will be the
features of this entertainment.
The donations of premiums are COM
ing in very literally and our friends in
the eastern cities are responding gen.
erously, realizing the advertising value
of displaying their leading articles at
the exposition.
; The latest novelty is the organization
of young ladies gun club, which will
contest for a prize during one of the
weeks of the exposition. There will
be several prizes offered for those hit
ting the target the greatest number of
times
Mr.. E. w. Peck is actively at work
endeavoring to interest the different
state bands to come to Bismarck dur
ing the exposition and compete for sew
eral handsome prizes which eastern
firms will donate for that purpose.
Uncle George Watson, the Oldest
resident marksman of North Dakota, is
arranging a series of entertainments for
the marksmen of the state during the
exposition. He will invite the various
gun clubs to participate in a contest
for which prizes will be given to those
making the highest scores.
All the railroads of the state have
agreed to carry exhibits free of charge,
provided that they are billed in care of

ton, Bismarck, N. D." This lberality
on the part of the railroad companies
is appreciated and demonstrates their
faith in the value of this exposition.

WHEN WOMEN VOTE

lit is said to be the intention OF tine
republican national committee to
plao. women on the stump this year
in all the equal suffrage states, and
THESE are not quite so few as is popu-
kvrly supposed, says the st. Louis
e-Democrat. There are half q
dozer of them, and There is a posi-
bility that the number may be In
creased before November. Women
have the ballot on the same terms as
men in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho,
Utah. Washington and California, to
call the roll of those states in the
order to which they endowed women
with the ballot. Ohio's new constitu-
tion, which has an equal suffrage pro-
vision Din it will be retained. In that
case the Ohio women will have the
opportunity ito vote for president this
year. In November a suffrage prop
osition will be voted on in WISCONSIN,
Michigan, Kansas, Oregon and Me-
vada.
When Anna Dickinson made a few
speeches for Lincoln In the campaign
of 1854, the spectacle of woman ON
the stump was new, but lit became a
little more familiar later on. Miss
Dickinson spoke tor Grant in 1872,
Hayes in 1876 and for one or two
other candidates in later canvasses.
Marcus "A. Hanna had Mrs. Lease OF
Kansas on his oratorical fytaff lin
1896 and 1900. Mrs Alexander Sllh-
van OF Illinois. who appeared foT
Blaine i'm 1884 and for Harrison In
1883, was believed to be almost as ef'
fective spellbinder as was her hus-
band Her style, as also that of Mrs.
Lease, was more rhetorical than Anna
Dicki1rson's, and much more so than
lis that of the average male orator OF
the present time, but all of these
women had much power i'm swaying
mixed audiences.
The woman vote will be an asset OF
large value in the campaign of 1912.
This fact lis recognized by political
leaders in both the great parties, for,
so report says, the democratic cam.
paign managers are also to employ
women in the closing days Of the cam
vass. Senator La Toilette made a di-
rect appeal to the women in the Cali
fornia primary by speaking in that
state at two or three dozen places. AT
long range, day or two before the
voting, Mr.. Taft reminded the women
of that state that he appointed Miss
Julia C. Uathrop, zone of the ablest
women in America" TO be the head
of the Federal Children's bureau.
Thirty-seven electoral votes will be
cast by the states which already have
equal suffrage, and "a will be added
to the roll If Obi" declares for it i'm
the election in September. It is con.
ceivable that the states in which wOm-
en- have the ballot may hold the bar
ance in the November plebiscite.

The experiences of Mr.. La Toilette
with other prominent branches of his
party make it rather difficult for him
to decide what he will do with his
delegates.
