fact that the greater percent

COLLINS FOR MARSHALL
Grand Forks Writer Thlnks Boiiineau
Man Hes the Best Claim

Grand Forks, April 7.-Wil-
liam Collins of Bottineau, form
er national committeeman, is a
likely candidate for the position
of United States marshal in
North Dakota, notwithstand-
ing the fact that S. J. Doyle of
Darlington has been regarded
by many as practically certain
of picking that rather import
ant plum, now hanging high
on the democratic tree. There
are several reasons why Mr..
Collins claim to the position
looks strong as against the
claims of Mr.. Doyle and F. O..
Hellstrom, both of whom are
opposing candidates for the
position.
Back in the time when the
democrats of the state were
castingabout for a strong candi-
date for national committee
man, Mr.. Collins was candi-
date to succeed himself. The
field became larger, and the
race looked like an uncertain
element with candidates scat
tered in all sections of the
state, the number including
Geo. Duis of Grand Forks, B.
@. Whitehead of Bismarck, F.
Mclean of Fargo, F. A. Wilson
of Bathgate and one or two
Others.
Then something happened.
John Bruegger entered the race
from Williston. He was the
lone candidate for the far west
ern section of the state. Later,
when matters began to shape
themselves. Collins Withdrew
from the race, asking that his
supporters take up the fight
for Mr.. Bruegger. And also
there was the state chairman,
D. Fl. Macarthur, who was
making the fight for Bruegger.
With Bruegger's election as
committeeman it is only natur-
al that Collins should come in
for serious consideration in the
matter of federal appointments

the big corn states, but for
North Dakota it was a big one.
Nor only was it a profitable
crop, but the people of North
Dakota are rather proud of
what they did because there
used to be an idea, and it still
maintains to some extent, that
the state is too far north for
corn.
Some of the finest corn grown
was produced and quantity
of it last year.
Wheat will not cover a larger
acreage than last year. It is
the general opinion that there
will be many thousands of new
acres put into wheat, but diver
sification of farming is at work
in many places and will cut
down the wheat acreage and
balance it up som ewhat.
