SAYS ROOSEVELT
IS Light DRINKER
ORMSBY M'HARG VISITING AT
JAMESTOWN FOLLOWING
TRIP TO MARQUETTE,

Jamestown, N. D., June 3.-The
testimony given at Marquette, Mich,
that Colonel Roosevelt drinks only
light wines, was co~rroborated by
Ormsby McHarg, who won notoriety
by his activity for. Taft in the 1908
Chicago convention and for Roosevelt
at the 1912 convention. Mr.. McHarg
is in Jamestown, N, D., his former
home, to visit his mother.
Mr.. McFIarg dropped out of politics
shortly after the Chicago convention
and refused to join in the Roosevelt
movement, but he said that he would
not be surprised to see Roosevelt a
candidate again and that he might be
a stronger candidate for the nomina-
ton in 1915 than in 1912.
He said, however, that he is much
opposed to Roosevelt now, and thinks
him guilty of injustice to some Of the
men who supported him last year and
that If he had thought more of the
party than himself, some third man
might have been nominated and elect
ed.
Handled Taft Gases.
Mr.. McHarg came into the public
eye through his handling of the con-
test cases for Taft preceding the Chi
cago convention in 1908. He held Of
flee under Roosevelt and received an
appointment under Taft. Shortly aft
er he again came into the li.uelight
in an interview %ridiculing the so-callcd
Roosevelt policies Later he retired
from the public service, but showed up
again fighting for Roosevelt at the
republican convention, although he re-
fused to join the bull moosers.

he met Secretary Lane and other de-
partnent representatives.
Mr.. Bruegger explained that the
Williston project differed materially
from other projects in that the farm
ers coming here are largely from the
east where irrigation is not practiced.
Western farmers who have employed
irrigation methods do not migrate in
this direction, hence the land owners
under the Williston project find them
selves confronted with the task Of
learning how to handle irrigation
properly, n how to raise products
under the irrigation plan that will pay
profits.
Mr.. Bruegger stated hat he pre-
scented to the department. a statement
Of local conditions asking That lenient
methods be employed in handling COL
|lections. He expected favorable action
on such request.
In making irrigated lands pay out,
MI. Bruegger contended that the
farmers would have to go into the
stock business, raising alfalfa for feed.
and establishing creameries. The land
under irrigation is well suited for that
purpose.
