We had an interview Tuesday
with ]. P. Sipes on his view ON
the stock law question. He says
if he is elected to the legislature
he will give ample notice and call
a mass convention of the people
of the entire county and agree
to hold an election at a future
day, by then and there selecting
the judges and clerks who will
hold without pay. That the re-
suit of the election will be posi-
tive direction to him in regard to
legislation. That if a majority
vote for no fence he will pass the
law; if against no fence he will
not. We think this will be a
shorter. and quicker plan to reach
a vote than to pass an act and
hold an election. We believe
there are enough legal voters in
the county to come out and vote
to settle the question once and
for all. Mr.. Sipes says he will
take the vote as instructions tc
him, be the majority large OF
small. This is his plan as he
gave it to US, and voters can un-
derstand his position on the stock
law.

Hooper and Rye are now in
the field until the election, telling
the people how to vote. We dis
covered some time ago that peo-
pie are not swayed by oratory
like they were in old times when
very few newspapers were read.
Now almost every leading man
takes a daily paper, and is post
ed on most of the issues of the
day. Besides that. they can see
things from their local stand
point, and seeing is believing.

ARMER TO CELEBRATE

A great gathering of producers of
the northwest will take place in st.
Paul on December s, 8 and 10. On
this occasion the removal of the
Equity Co Cooperative Exchange, a
farmers selling terminal grain SELL
ing agency from Minneapolis to ST.
Paul, is to be celebrated in grand
style. Hon. j. e. Kelley of this city
and Congressman Henry of Texas are
programmed for addresses.
The removal of the institution was
decided upon owing to fierce oppose
ton of the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce to the farmers selling
agency. The result will be the es-
tablishment of an open market. Und-
er the system of the Chamber of
Commerce no n was permitted to
bid on or consign grain except by or
through the members of the Cham
Der of Commerce. Farmers now
have the advantage Of the competi-
tion of the general public and not
merely such competition the Cham
Der cf Commerce may afford.
Special rates and trains to run to
and from St. Paul from South Dako-
ia, North Dakota and Montana have
been procured.
