Sugartown Wins by Score of $
to 6 and Indians Wind Us
Up With 5 to 3 Total

A fair.sized section OF Ordway went
over to Sugar City last Sunday tu see
the ball game between that town and
the cOunty-seat bunch OF players. The
result, while the game was closely
contested one, left the honors Of the
day with the Sugarvillians. All the
scoring was done In the earlier innings
nothing but goose eggs being pro.
duced after the second ny Ordway and
the fourth by Sugar City. In the
latter the Sugar men cleaned up three
runs, overcoming Ordway's lead and
winning the game, as the players from
the county capital were unable to
break In with another score to tie or
two to win. Sugar City was compelled
to use three pitchers to win the game.
Millhouse was the first to go In. He
had pleaded with the management to
be allowed to pitch against Ordway,
and although lOath to do so the
sponsors for the club finally consented.
The gentleman's finish came quickly,
as he was knocked out OF the box In
the first inning. Whalen was substi.
tuted, but was batted freely. 1t was
then up to Morgan, Sugarville's main
stay, and he succeeded In turning
what up to that time was cinch for
Ordway into a defeat. The score:

Large Beet Crop

In o recent interview Walter A.
Dixon, vice president and general man.
ager Of the Great Western Sugar com.
pany, said:
''The outlook for C0lorado's sugar
beet crop In 1912 Is better than II has
been for several years and ! look for a
% per cent increase In production over
last year.
1.-THE SHOWS promise to water many
acres this year which have been dry
In the past. The farmers are greatly
encouraged. hope to see 10000 to
100, 900 acres In beets In Colorado this
year"
There are seventeen beet sugar fac.
tories In Colorado which bought 964,
900 tons OF sugar beets last year. The
farmers were paid O., ,382, ,Os0 for beets
and the average net revenue to them
per acre was s25. There Is said to be
invested In Colorado In factories and
appurtenances $40, $50. 900.
The sugar beet acreage around Ord
way this year Is estimated to be larger
and the prospect better than for q
long time past, as water and soil con
ditions are exceptionally good. The
work OF G. J. Kcarns, the beet expert
is largely responsible for the improved
soil conditions hereabouts.

inning as though they intended to land

Gently with Gov. Hadley of Mis-
souri, in which the "Show Me-"
state executive is quoted as al
leging that he could have had
the presidential nomination at
the national Republican conven-
ton at Chicago had not Roose-

proof of this proposition, the
Minneapolis politician says that
Hadley said that ninety per cent
Of the Chicago delegates were
opposed to both Roosevelt and
Taft and wanted somebody else.
If Gov. Hadley ever said what
he is credited with saying, he is
a victim of misplaced confidence.
None but Taft's nomination was
possible at Chicago. The cards
were stacked for him by that
eminent band of self-immolating
patriots (?) Penrose, Guggen-
helm, Barnes, Crane, Root, Rose
water, Tawney ct al, who went
to Chicago purely and simply to
save their own hides, knowing
full we'll that in Taft they had a
stool pigeon they could manipu-
late to further their own ends,
as they have done ever since
March 4, 1909. If Mr.. Hadley
had gone up against" that be-
attic combination of corrupt
bosses, mercenary manipulators
and selfish interests, he would
have learned very soon that no
man can play the other fellows
game when that fellow h a S
marked cards in the stacked
deck. The story is given public
ity at this time in the attempt
to injure the Progressive candi-
date, but the general public take
no more stock in it than they do

WIlFUl MISREPRESENTATION

The St. Cloud Journal Press
of September II prints half a
column or more on it's first page,
with a Sank Centre date, giving
an account of the Stearns county
fair of last week. Among other
things this article states
During the three days there
was only about one hour of dis
comfort and that was while Sen
ator Poindexter was delivering
his Bull Moose talk. He Great
ed no enthusiasm and all were
glad when he was through. A
county agricultural fair is no
place for a political speech"
The facts are that Senator
Poindexter spoke only half an
hour, was listened to with inter-
est and was applauded as liber-
ally as was James j. Hill, and
that so far as can be ascertained,
the only person glad to have
him stop was the Sank Centre
correspondent who furnished the
Journal-Press with it's article.
Senator Poindexter was in
vited to speak at the fair by
Mayor j. N. McGibbon, who
said that any one whom the fair
management invited was at lib
erty to talk on any subject he
pleased. It may be said in pass
ing that Mayor McGibbon is a
loyal Democrat. 1t may further
be said that at the Stearns
county fair here two years ago
James Gray, t h Democratic
nominee for governor, made a
partisan speech, and the day fol-
lowing U. S. Senator Moses E.
Clapp talked Republican party
politics and there was no objec-
ton.
The person who wrote the ar
ticle referred to should hide his
head in shame for so forgetting
himself as to insult distin.
guished guest of the city whom
everybody else except himself
delighted to honor. It is also
unfortunate that So fair minded
publisher as the we'll known
citizen who edits the Journal
Press should be misled into pub
fishing an article which wilfully
misrepresented the facts in the
case.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1912-09-19

II h e Akeley Herald Tribune
asserts that Colonel Roosevelt
was given a chilly reception at
the state fair where he addressed
only 5000 people. Facts ar e
that the crowd that stood for an
hour sweltering in a 90 in the
shade atmosphere waiting for
the Colonel to appear, and an
other hour and a half while he
spoke numbered not far from
the $4,000 mark. the estimate
made by several we'll known
Twin City reporters, and APP
plauded the Colonel to the echo
throughout his speech. T h e
publisher of The Herald knows
what he is talking about, for he
sat on tie platform from which
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke and talked
with people who estimated the
size of the crowd. If that is a
chilly reception, T h e Herald
wonders what hot one would
be. Bro. Scheers must have
been misinfol'med, for so fair
man as he is certainly would
not willfully misrepresent mat
tiers, even in politics.
