Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1914-05-21

The writer spent a couple of days
last week in various parts of the
county. Everywhere could be seen
evidences that The farmers are hop
ing for the crop this year that they
have longed for. Hence. a ire
menduous acreage has been planted
and ideal crop conditions this sea-
son will put Emmons county people
in good shape financially.
In the Winonn country, where a
bumper crop has not been known for
years and where even hay was a
scarce article, the farmers are look
ing happy and thousands of acres of
fresh blowing attest that they still
have hopes i'll spite of repeated fail
ures. North. in the Hazelton and
Braddock country, fields stretch
across the country for miles with
out single break.
Everywhere the main topic just
now is crop conditions. The seeding
is just being completed, numerous
rains having held it back consider
ably. Already the usual pre.elec.
ton gossip is taking form. Any
one from the county seat is asked
for news about this and that candi-
date. Any one circulating among
the people of the north half of the
county cannot help but notice the
popularity that the candidacy of G.
Rowerdink for county auditor has
aroused. Unless all signs fail MIR.
Rowerdink will come pretty close to
carrying the entire north half of
the county. This, with his admit
ted strength in the south half. should
net him not less than lead OF 200
votes.
The other candidates are being
discussed pro and con. The clerk of
court contest between Messrs. Brltts
and Fogle is creating many an ar
gument and the register Of deeds
free-f0r-all is getting share of the
interest.
Through the north half of the
county the candidacy of j. II.
Worst for United States senator has
aroused more interest than any local
scrap 1t seems that the farmers of
northern Emmons are for Worst to
man, there being enough old-tim-
ers in that territory to enthuse the
later Corners who did not know Mr..
Worst when he lived south of old

States government isn't brought to

share. But that is not the main
point. The United States specifical

opinion regarding a man that will

New interest has been injected in
to the gubernatorial contest this year
by the entry of the Personal Liberty
League headed by John Wishck, Of
Mcintosh county. as a candidate for
governor on the platform of resub-
mission and anti-women-suffrage.
A general discussion is going on in
the press throughout the state, some
c0ntending that Wishek will hurt
Hanna. others that he will cut into
Burdick's support Right here in
Emmons county there are some four
hundred German voters and three
fourths of them are democrats.
They will not effect the proposition
either way. No doubt. the same
thing is true in other localities.
Hence. much Of the vote that would
be favorable to Wishek s PRINCIPLES
will not have chance to express
themselves at the primaries.

According to Harry NJ Case. Of
the Neville journal. Nelson county
Senator AISLE j. GronDa isn't even
the whole thing in Nelson, his home
county. A recent article in the
journal calls attention to the fact
that Mr.. Gronna had arrived in Mel
son county to look after personal in
terests and his political fences as
we'll. despite the fact that he had
left his seat at Washington just at
the time that the Mexican embroglio
was at the worst point and that his
brother senators were at their post
of duty irregardIess of political ex-
pediencies. The fact that MIR. Case,
who by the way is treasurer of the
North Dakota Press Association and
considered one Of the lcvel-heeded
chaps of the association, lives in
Gronna's home county and dares to
allude to the gentleman's shortcom-
ings is ample evidence that their is
some local sentiment to back him up.
1t may then be taken for granted
that even the solid Scandinavian vote
of the Red River Valley will not go
to Gronna. Certainly Andy Miller
will not get it. And Worst is the
only other possibility. John H.
Worst will surprise all the profess
sional politicians when the votes are
counted. The other gentlemen can
do the campaigning and get the
circus crowds. but John f. Worst is
the name that wears best with them
and John II. Worst will receive their
votes.

straight skirts and round tunics
edged with tucks and shirred in

ices were STRAIGHT with V necks
edged with moire ribbon, with
straight loose elbow sleeves fin
ished with tucks. Their pink
ribbon girdles were tied with old
time bows, short loops and long
ends, and they wore Topping
large white leghorn hats with
pink tied round the crown and
wreaths of large shaded pink ro-
ses. They carried arm bouquets |
of pink and rambler roses.

Hens of silk or velvet ribbon
are too pretty to be allowed to
fall into disuse on frocks of lin

hem is sometime placed under
the scalloped edge of the flounce,
but most often has the effect of
a binding. Wide hens of silk or
velvet at the foot of the narrow

by long tunic are both smart
and practical since they weight
the skirt and keep it fresh look

Button trimmings have made
their latest bid for favor on the
