citation Is to be congratulated on
the high class Of fair given the
people Of the county this year A
large number attended from here
and all were highly pleased, The
flights given BY Longren in his
alrship were the best ever seen
In this part OF the state and were
one OF the leading attractions dur
ing the week.
The only thing to mar the pleas
ure Of d visit to the fair was the
dust and the lack Of drinking foun-
tains. II the association would In
stall a number Of drinking foun-
tains and keep the driveways
sprinkled II would greatly increase
the comfort OF the visitors. II Is
to be hoped that Dickinson can have
just as good fair each year in the

Editor Reflsclor: The ringing
Republican apeech made BY Senator
Curtis Wednesday night IN the court
house met with such hearty APP
pIanse and his appeal for Republic
cans TO support only true RepubIi-
cans met with such q warm re-
spouse from the large crowd pres
emit that some OF the Bull Moosera
running on the Republican ttckst
are plainly very nervous. EspseiaiF
do Anderson and Rice. candidates
for the legislature, who want to be
elected so they can vote for Stubba
for u. s. senator show that they
are worried. Mr.. Anderson in his
campaign to be elected Is now tell
ing the Taft Republicans that he
will support Curtis, but Anderson
will not get very far in effort along
this line to deceive the voters. Such
methods Of deception will be re-
buked, for everyone who knows
Anderson knows he Is owned politi-
cally by Stubs. does Stubs bid
ding and is pledged to Stubs for
senator, and his promise to vote
for Curtis is no better than hisiother
promises. He IL ardentIy support
ing Roosevelt, doing his best to de-
feat President Taft, was one OF the
founders OF the Progressive Rcose-
Welt club, furnished his commercial
college room for meeting place
when the cub was organized and
signed the roll OF membership. He
and Mr.. Ri.e also voted to remove
the Republican emblem (the sagle)
from the Republican Ysket. take
down President Taft's name, and
keep the Taft electors name off the
Republican ballot.
1t was plainly evident at the Cur
tbs meeting that large majority
Of the big crowd present is against
Stubs for U. s. senator. But Re-
publicans should remember and keep
this fact plainly in their minds that
the legislature elects the U: 8. SEN
ator and that Stubs needs So votes
in the legislature to win. he IL fig
uring on two Of these votes from
Dickinson county, Anderson and
Rice (they being pledged to him.)
So that II you want Stubs to rep
resent you in the u. 3. senate 2
aure way to get him there is to cast
your vote in November for Andre
SON and Rice. but II you do not want
Stubs to so to the senate, then
vote against both Of them.
