beauty of a home wedding, in which

full gown of sheer crepe voile over
white silk. After the ceremony and a
dainty breakfast served by Mrs.

a honeymoon trip.

grown, each having diploma from
the local high school and state Normal.

course, Miss Spangenberg took up pri-
mary teaching, in which work she has
had gratifying success. Mr.. Codding
graduated In 1911 from the Normal
Conservatory course, after which he
attended Fargo College. He received
the degree of B. A. from the latter in
stitution this spring. Throughout his
school career he has been recognized
not only as a violinist Of rare talent,
but as a thorough student, good de.
bator and leader among his fellow
students. For the responsible position
Of superintendent Of school at Hanna
ford he is pre-eminently fitted.

Fielder Slaton lost steadily, Hard
wick gained steadily, Felder's lines
stood absolutely unbroken until STA
tons defeat was certain.
The workings OF the County Unit
plan of nominations by delegates
showed up in bad form at Macon in
these very matters. The interes IS
of every candidate were entruste
to men who might or might not have
been true friends There was the
greatest opportunity for fraud in the
naming Of disguised delegations,
men pretending to be for the candi-
date for whom the county had gona
but who at heart were ready to de,
sert him as soon as possible after
the first ballot
Then there was the possibility of
wire-pulling after the Convention
had met.
It is a poor way to make nomina
tions. The only fair way, the ONLY
Democratic way is to let every man
cast his vote directly for the candi-
date of his choice; let these votes be
consolidated; let the man who has a
majority over all be nominated ana
if no man has a majority of all let
the two highest run it off in a second
primary and then there will be no
more of a minority candidate ge,
ting the office. The majority will
rule.

What does that lead to? Simply
this, that Slaton was beaten with his

ed a few. 1t was impossible, there

had come from combination with
