Of the legislature.
The night before election.

of the legislature.
The night before election
meeting in the opera house was
similar to the one pulled off just
before the last primaries. The
speakers freely indulged in per-
sonalities and aroused all the old
time factional strife that many had
been trying to avoid at this time.
on account of the approaching
county seat fight. but personal
ambitions of some of our people
seem to be more important than
the towns welfare and as result
feeling is very bitter. one citizen
openly declaring that he would
vote for Sentinel Butte for the
county seat. This feeling has al
so spread into the country and
farmers who live in Beach terri
tory are not backward in express
ing their ill-feeling toward the
town on account of this factional-
ism which IS continually being
stirred up.
The defeat of the commission
form is the worst thing that could
have happened for the town, in
fact, it would have been better If
the question had never been rails
ed, for it is now demonstrated that
certain element, which is very
unpopular in the surrounding
country, is going to continue to
rule the affairs of the city-as in
the past. y
If this spirit of strife continues
through the winter and into the
next primary election Beach will
have battle royal on its hands
next fall for the county seat.

afternoon. amid a burst of ap-

the crowded floor of the senate.

The democrats counted through

bill because it put sugar on the
free list. Until the names of La
Toilette and Poindexter were
called. however. no one knew
what stand they would take; their
votes were greeted with applause.
President Pleased.
President Wilson tonight ex-
pressed qualification over the end
of the long struggle in the senate.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee who piloted the
bill through the finance commit
tee, the democratic caucus and
the senate. predicted its passage
would bring stimulus to the busi-
ness of the country.
Reduced House Bill.
As it passed the senate, the
tariff bill represents an everage
reduction of over four per cent
from the rates of the original bill
that passed the house and nearly
20 per cent from the rates of the
existing law. In many important
particulars the senate changed the.
bill that passed the house. A con-
ference committee of tn. two
houses will begin work Wednes-
day or Thursday to adjust these
differences. The leaders of both
houses predict the conference will
consume less than two weeks.

The Commission
Form Defeated
.Personalities and Factionalism Re-
suit in Defeat Of Proposi6on-
False Issue Raised-Must Now
Wait Four Yeacs.

Factionalism. personalities and
the raising of a false issue by the
ring" resulted in the defeat Of
the commission form of govern
,ment for Beach by a vote of l55
to 70.
The vote was very light in the
face of the fact that every posi-
bic vote was gotten out and a
bitter fight waged, there being on
ly 233 votes cast against nearly
800 at the general election last
fall.
Following the calling Of the
election by the cityaldermenthere
was little opposition shown and
for a time it looked as though the
people were going to unite on the
proposition for the betterment of
conditions generally. but a GER
tain element which has practically
controlled the city since its organ
.ization, quietly, some three weeks
before election. engaged the
opera house and plans were laid
for dirty. personal campaign
against the proposition and this
campaign was carried out to the
letter which succeeded in defeat
ing the quesion.
The false issue was raised that
the commission form election was
simply a method employed by en-
emies of the city aldermen to get
them out of office; it was charged
that the Socialists were back of
the movement, that the city alder
men had been accused Of graft
ing and dishonesty. and an ap-
peal then made to vindicate them.
The opposition refused to attack
the principle of the commission
form, knowing that it could not
be successfully attacked, but sim
ply stirred up personalities and
factionalism to carry out their
purpose.
False statements of all sorts
were circulated Monday night by
the two Egan gang newspapers.
which could not be refuted and
the gang. which was quietly and
well organized, had everything
their own way. A great many Of
the voters went to the polls feel
ing that they had been called up
on to condemn or exonerate the
present officials and as there was
no charge made against the
mayor or aldermen. the false is
sue thus raised carried out its
purpose and brought about the
result much desired by the gang.
The issue as to whether or not
Beach should adopt the commis-
SION form was not made an issue
at all and the sincere men who
had backed the proposition for
the best interests Of the city were
defeated in their purpose.
Fully 90 per cent Of the voters
acknowledged that the commits
sion form was the best system to
adopt but the attack by the gang
themselves upon the city officials
was made 50 strong that the voters
felt it their duty to uphold the
aldermen and mayor.
As the commission form can
only be voted upon once in four
years it cannot be brought up
again until 1917. unless the state
law is changed at the next session

cation for Plant.

Sde'oU Io' 'dUt'
Hans Otto of Lookeba was in Ard =
more yesterday in consultation with
the members of the board of directors
of the Commercial Club. Mr.. Otto
is the president of company which
manufactures a clothes line reel of
which he is the inventor and pat
entee.
Mr.. Otto stated to the board OF
directors of the Commercial Club
that his company asked no bonus
of the city, nor the donation of any
buildings or building sites. He said
that his factory would employ from
twenty to thirty operatives the year
round and that he was in search of
Il city which would afford ample
shipping facilities. He stated that
the main thing he would ask of the
club would be that they would see
TO it that reasonable freight rate
in both broken and carload lots
could be secured.
Secretary West Of the Commercial
Club stated to an Ardmoreite repre-
sentative yesterday afternoon that he
understood the freight rates in car
lots to and from Ardmore were high
or than they should be, and said
that he would at once set about in
vestigating them and if they were
not what they should be, he would
take the matter up both with the
railway companies and the state cor
poration commission.

forced China to open her ports to its

book, the English traslatio of which
$ dedicated:
To the Most II gh and Mighty Prince

The dedication says in part; Great

uron us, the people of England, when
first he sent Your Majestys Royal
Person to rule and reign over I"

Nndled manifesting itself abroad in

We have great hopes that the

In the other hand the missionary
bears the official prayer book of the

taihs a special prayer for the heath
en- victims of her opium traffic.
