The big battle in politics in North
Dakota will necessarily come after the
primaries when the party candidates will
line up in their respective columns and
are contesting for election before the
people in November. During the time
that intervenes between the primaries
and the November election there will be
intense earnestness on the part of the
people and a great deal OF activity on
the part of the politicians. The masses
of the people are SO we'll informed now
that they cannot be easily misled and
being very independent as to voting no
party can beforehand feel absolutely
assured of winning the battle.

7 angdon Woman's
- Club Notes

The last meeting Of the woman's club
at the home of Mrs. Harlan had an
unusually full program, consisting of
three papers instead of the usual two.
Miss Mahon, in the absence of her
mother, gave the paper on school hygiene
and proved herself we'll up on the sub
ject, taking up the subject of the proper
hygiene conditions in the school build
ing and showing that the Langdon school
complied largely of these conditions
proper lighting and ventilation, sanitary
drinking fountain, proper toilet provi-
sions. etc. Medical inspection Was dis
cussed AMI the advantages pointed out
of having such in all schools. The
closed with a discussion of the proper
teaching of hygiene in the school.
Mrs. Devaney's paper on "Eng!ish and
Welsh Castles and Cathedrals' showed
her usual careful preparation. Among
those described were Warwick Carnar-
Won and Windsor castles, Hoddon hall.
Urexham church, Tintern abbey, aad
Durham, Bangor, st. Paul's and Canter-
bury cathedrals. By means of map illus
tration and story, these we're presented
in an extremely interesting manner.
Although Mrs. Scadeng through re-
moval from Langdon has ceased to be a
member of the club, she kindly sent her
paper on "London,' which was read by
Mrs. Woolner in true English style. Mrs.
Scadeng's paper showed the familiarity
of long residence in London, and in a
chatty conversational style, i~nterspersed
occasionally with humor, took a hurried
trip up and down the streets of that city
noting it's various points of interest, A
vote of thanks was extended Mrs. Scad-
eng for SO kindly preparing a paper
which she was under no obligations to
give,

MAIL FOR USE OF ABSENT VOTER

A topic which is increasing in import
ance with each successive election, is
called to general attention by Secretary
Bryan, in his expression of the hope that
voting by post Office Will yet be put in
practice in this country for that large
body of American citizens who pursue
business occupations which keep them
almost constantly away from home, and
so render their actual presence at the
polls, a matter of great difficulty and,
not infrequently, of impossibllity.
Secretary Bryan's idea, if put in opera
tion, would not alter the general meth
DDS OF elections. The incidents and
scenes of election day would be about
the same as they are now A casual
onlooker would not be likely to realize
that there had been any change what
ever.
But there would be q very important
change in the circumstance that while
the citizen of fixed habitation would
'clC q . 10 always las, tilH CittGeu WuOSS
occupation necessarily makes HIM a
transient, would be able to vote without
the trouble and expense of a literal
return to his place of residence-that is,
ne could send his vote by mail.
1t is a we'll recognized fact, especially
in presidential elections, that thousands
Of voters, earnest and patriotic who are
engaged in business requiring continual
travel, are put to heavy cost and harsh
inconvenience by the rule requiring their
physical presence at the polls. Take for
example the hundreds Of thousands Of
commercial travellers in the Uniteo
States.-National Monthly.

On Tuesday of last week the directors
of the Cavalier county fair association
met at Langdon and before adjourn
ment had matters pretty we'll outlined
for the fair to be held this year, August
4-5-6, The directors inspected the
grounds for the purpose of ascertaining
what could be done in the way of chang
ing the entrance so that rigs conld ne
placed inside the track with a crossing
from the southeast corner. AS this
would require two roads across the track
was decided to buy additional grounds
OF MIR, Ramage If possible, and he finally
offered the association a strip eight rods
wide the length of the grounds on the
south side for $3.50. This strip includes
the high ground at the southwest corner
and from that point will enable parties
to see over the entire grounds from their
rigs.
a number of changes we're ordered in
the premium list as suggested by the
superintendent of the departments.
Additional horse barn room will be pro-
vided and some of the boystall sheds
will be rearranged for the use of cattle.
A special effort will be made to secure a
larger exhibit of cattle than was on the
grounds last year.
The matter of arranging a farm con
test similar to that held in Grand Forks
county last year, was considered and will
be held if funds for that purpose can be
secured.
For attractions it was decided to cut
out baseball and some of the more
expensive features and put on two good
races each day with amusement features
for the grandstand, some other novelty
races, etc.
As soon as the frost is out of the
ground work will be commenced in
repairing the old board fence, which is
IN bad shape, and instead of replacing
all of the board fences some seven foot
woven wire with barb wire on top will
be put up in place of the board fence.
