CARLISLE SCHOOL HOUSE MAKES BIGGEST GAIN
Many Being Held Back For the Final Rush For the Second
Prize on the 10th OF December Big Vote Looked For Next
Week. More Communities Interested

The tabulauon of votes in the
Diamond Ring, Watch and Organ
contest show a hight vote this
week. The voting has not been
keen. but there have been some
new entities this week that will
likely start anew the flames of
enthusiasm, and cause some Of
the contestants TO stand up and
axe notice.
No changes in the position OF
he contestants appear this
week. Miss Hurst is contesting
closely for the first place, while
Miss Dehardeleben holds third,
with Miss Abney competing
lively for third position. Miss
Hawkins drops out of the race
and her name is omitted this
week. Miss Friedrich received
nomination this week and a nice
vote given her, but she refuses
to let her name appear in the
list of contestants. Miss Boles
is a new one in the race and it Ia
expected that she will reckon
with the winner in the final
contest. The Carlisle Sunday
School is still a leader for the
organ by a very large majority
having gained something over
five Thousand votes this week.

Ieras a World Show Ground

Ii is said Texas is the show
ground of the universe. We
fitted out Buffalo Bill with his
unique array of primitive west
ern life and sent him out to
thrill the hearts of the rich and
the poor of both hemispheres.
We are now providing the
scenes for moving picture shows
and one cannot visit these popu-
lar places of amusement any
where on the face of the earth
without coming in contact with
Texas frontier life.
We are the national preserves
for human character in its prim.
tive state. On our ranches anj
in the homes of our pioneers,
honesty. friendship and courage
abound in their native state un-
tanned by the SCOT of civilization
and our frontiers are populated
with stalwart, rugged charac-
ters out of which great men are
hewn, presenting a panorama of
American life as il entered the
gates of civilization.

half for some time but soon after Mr..
Watterson openly became part of

In his letter of resignation Mr..
Ewing says:
When accepted the place now
resigned nothing resembling what has
happened was even dreamed Of. I
have had no word Of any nature from
Mr.. Wilson or from Mr.. Watterson in
relation to the action I now take. NV
determination to do nothing official or
personal which might in any way
whatever wound Mr. Watterson alone
impels my action. At the same time
I feel that 1t is but right that Cover

the congressman is confident he will
ton to him.
for Roosevelt. Mr.. Hanna said:
II am for Theodore Roosevelt for
president of the United States" said
Congressman l.. 3. Hanna to Forum
representative this morning. because
! feel he is the man OF all men who
can bring the Republican party to-
gether. believe in his policies and
in the man and that he can restore
harmony in the entire party.
Il have come home on a ten days
leave of absence for the purpose Of
pushing forward the Roosevelt move-
ment. both in the spring preferential
election and in the choice of their
delegates to the national convention
at Chicago. have brought large
number Of petitions and have had
prepared petitions which are to be .cir-
culated all over the state for The pur-
pose OF securing Ine endorsement or
North Dakota voters for Colonel
Roosevelt. These petitions are to be
circulated at once and returned to me
here in Fargo where they will be TAX
en- care of and forwarded to Bismarck
for filing.
Another reason why ! am for Mr..
Roosevelt" he continued. is that it
has come time to get our national poll
tics more at ease and get away from
this period of general unrest. think
Mr.. Roosevelt is the man who can
bring about such d condition. We
want to get political conditions where
business confidence is absolutely re-
stored SO that men will not be afraid
to invest their money and TO bring

terrier pup once. but the little fellow
wouldn't stand for It and set up a ter.
rifying howl. Then the pussy hurried
