result of the first skating accident OF
the season in this section of the cOun

Wednesday afternoon John Werlich,
Second street, Baraboo, lost the
thumb and first two fingers of his right
hand while working about corn shred
der at the home of his son, Albert
Werlich, who lives on farm south
west of the city.
Mr.. Werlich was standing in front of
the machine with corn stalk in his
hand and it is thought that the stalk
caught in the rollers of the shredder
and thus the hand was pulled into the
wheels.
The injury was taken care of at once
and was getting along nicely today. Mr..
Werlich is IA years of age and moved to
Baraboo from Sank Prairie last sum-
mer. The old gentleman is left hand
ed and fortunately the injury occurred
to his right hand
D. A. Payne, who resides in Sumpter,
was nearly overcome by gas recently
while taking silage from his silo. He was
about 40 fit. up on ladder when he felt
himself being overcome by the fumes
emitted from the heated fodder but re-
tanned his senses long enough to reach
the ground IN safety. This should
serve as a warning that there is more
or less danger from fumes when taking
silage from the air tight silo in which
the ensilage is generating so much heat
and consequent gas.
In Dunn county near Menomonie four
persons were overcome in a sllo and
died as a result and others have had
narrow escapes. With At, 600 silos IN
the state there is plenty of opportunity
for carelessness when taking the fodder
from the silo.

But Mr.. Sandstrom was just
closing a very successful term
as sheriff of this county. He
had taken no strong stand ON
any of the questions that was
agitating the minds of the peo-

Well Qualified in Every
Respect.
J. L. Brennan, democratic
candidate for sheriff, is a young
mar of sterling worth and is
we'll deserving of the support
of every conscientious voter.
He came to North Dakota with
his parents in 1880 at the age
of one year. He is now thirty
five years old. He possesses a
good high school education
and is well versed in CONNER
cial law. He has had nineteen
years of active business exper-
fence. part of which time he
was engaged as d commercial
traveller representing thresh-
ing maching companies as
salesman and collector, cover
ing a territory extending over
ten states and northwestern

If elected, he promises the
same energetic and impartial
service as during his four year
term as States Attorney of
Bottineau county.
He has always been a demo-
crat and is a strong supporter
of President Wilson's achieve
ments and policies.
Mr.. Weeks says: Producing
the food of the country is the
greatest business in the world,
but the farmer has always
been handicapped in his bust
ness for the reason that he has
always been compelled to pay
a much higher rate of interest
for borrowed capital than any
other great industry. There
fore he is in favor of and will
work for a system of rural
credits that will enable the
farmer to borrow money at a
low rate of interest.
1t is a fact that the prices of
farm products are manipulated
by Board of trade gambling to
the extent that the producer is
deprived of a large share of his
legitimate profits, and he ad-
vocates and will work for Ma
tional Legislation prohibiting
all forms of board of trade
gambling and dealing in op-
tions, in grain or any other
food product

TO the voters of Bottineau
county:
The political campaign of
1914 is about to close. This
campaign has been an unusual
one. The republican have been
conducting what is known as
a still hunt, a button hole
campaign soliciting the in
dividuals support, but 50 far
have failed to state what they
stand for, supposing that the
voters. would support them
because Of their party affilia-
tons. On the other hand the
democratic candidates have
made an open campaign, an
nouncing in plain language
what thew stand for. There is
no desire to arouse class feel
ing in a contest such as this,
but there are conditions and
issues that are of interest to all
and it is but proper that the
voters be made acquainted with
the attitude of the candidates.
One of the great issues is the
reduction of the contract rate
of interest. l.. L. Stair, the
democratic candidate for sena-
tor has promised to support a
law reducing the interest ques-
ton. Mr.. Stair is in favor of a
tax commission. that the un-
seen property may be uncover
ed and taxed the same as the
visible property of the bust
ness men and the farmer is
taxed. Mr.. Sandstrom is mum
on this question. Mr.. Stair is
in favor of the recall of public
officers, the single tax on agri-
cultural land. for a rural credit
law and for an adequate hail
law. On all these questions
the republican candidate is
mum. Is it right in these days
of reforms that a man be elect
ed to Office who has not openly
stated his position on these
questions which are of so vital
an interest to the farmers of
this state? Why was the late
senator from Bottineau county
defeated for denomination?
The answer is plain to every
right-thinking man. Mr.. Gar
den was right on everv import
ant issue that came up during
his term in the Legislature
when the welfare of the people
was concerned. He was a bold,
fearless, independent respre-
sentative whom the banks and
public service corporations
could not handle, for this rea-
son he must be got rid of. but

eater. He believes that legisla-
ton should be undertaken and
executed without reference to
party brand; that it should cut
no figure whether a bill is
championed by a. democrat, a
republican,. or a man of any
other party, it should be sup
ported, if a proper measure
and opposed if not proper leg
islation, He is a man that
wears no mans yoke or recog-
nizes any obligatian other than
to the people of the state and
his duty to render impartial
and effective service. Pol. adv.
