The real election in Minnesota is going to be next
Tuesday The men nominated on the Republican ticket
will be elected next fall There is the barest possibility
that the republican nominee for governor may
elected in November 1--WE make the statement only the
interest of exactnes but there not the slightest poss
biy of any other than the Republican nominees being
elected to the other Offices.
Therefore it is much important that the voter
go the polls Tuesday than that he go next fall
but the prospect that the vote will be very light the
primary. The old convention system fell discredit
because the people would take an interest in it, and
the primary will be equally dscredted unless the people
take interested in seeing that the best are nomn-
ated
Above have indicated the men whom we believe
be the best qualified give the plain people the service
which is desired in the various Offices The reasons for
voting for these been given in these columns

- Critics of President Wilson'S Mexican policy would
have believe that he is laundering along into situa-
ton which will finally compel the United States to invade
Mexico and up orderly in that country
that he will find Carranaza and Villa to be big problems
Huerta has BEEN 1t would have been easy thing
for this country to have recognized Huerta tho he
did reach the presidency thru asssnation but the world
is outgrowng that kind of thing and in refusing to
cognize him Wilson only gave Repression to the moral
of the American people 1t is impossible to believe
that Wilson with his knowledge of history and information
al law, did know that he cutting thru the
tees of polite diplomacy and that there would be
be difficulties in travelling the unbroken path That's
the way the world moves and progress always to
the price in difficulties.

SHERMAN BACK FROM
new ENGLAND STATE
MINOT MAN HAS SOME INTER.
ESTlNG THINGS TO TELL OF
CONDITIONS IN THE NEW ENG
LAND STATES.

Frank l.. Sherman and family have
returned from visit of six weeks
with Mrs. Sherman's parents at Wins
low, Maine. Mr.. Sherman has never
been east before and his trip proved
to be great education for him.
His father-in-law is a prominent
dairyman, living near Winslow in the
central portion of the state. He lives
in one of the great Maine farm houses
so common in that state. Seventeen
rooms and the family comprises only
two. Electric lights in the house,
barn and hog houses.
Land in that section sells for 500
per acre. Some farms are worn out
and abandoned, but not many. Farms
are small and great attention is paid
to dairying. %
Maine farmers grow many potatoes
and have been getting SIS cents \
bushel F. o. B. Not much better
price than North Dakotans get. One
farmer put $500 worth of fertilizer
on 40 acres of potato land and made
money. North Dakota farmers have
an advantage. Eggs were selling for
60 cents a dozen.
Many factories are located at and
around Winslow. All are busy and
the owners have found that the new
tariff bill has done them no damage
yet.
At Kendallville, Ind, Mr. Sherman
visited the largest windmill factory in
the world, the Star. The Shermans
visited Boston and spent some time
along the Atlantic. Mr.. Sherman
says that while he had good time
in the east, had his fill of the finest
kind of Jersey milk, he sorely missed
his Snow White flour and our fresh
air, two requisites to perfect bliss.

COMMISSIONER FROM THE
FIRST DISTRICT BACK FROM
BIG MEETING OF COUNTY
FATHERS AT, DEVILS LAKE.

Peter Vandenoever, commissioner
from the First district, has returned
from Devils Lake, where he attended
the annual state convention. Mr..
Vandenoever states that he received a
great deal of benefit and in the future
will endeavor to attend each conven-
ton.
The next convention will be held in
Grand Forks the second Tuesday in
January, month earlier. This will
give the county fathers a chance to
recommend legislation.
Governor Hanna addressed the COM
missioners on good roads. Major Muir
ply spoke IN taxation and Thos. Coop
er on the Better Farming movement.
There were other excellent addresses.
The entire three days were taken up
with good subjects. The questions are
so numerous and varied that a weeks
convention would be none too long.

BUTTER FAT MARKET
IS on THE DECLINE
REDUCTION OF TARIFF HAS AN
EFFECT ON PRICE OF IMPOR.
TANT COMMODITY - SEVEN

There has been a noticeable break
in the price of butter fat at all points
in the United States, due no doubt to
the new tariff bill which has lowered
the duty on butter. Great shipments
have been received in New York from
Siberia, Argentine and New leland.
A year ago now the local creamery
was paying SO cents pound for but
terfat. Today, H. D. Williams, man
ager of the Henningsen Creamery Co.,
informs us that the price is 26 cents,
decrease of seven cents. The Twin
City buyers are paying 27 cents. The
price will no doubt decline again later.
Mr.. Williams explains that while
the price is somewhat lower, it will
be more stable because there will not
be the opportunity for speculation by
holding the butter in storage. The

BAGGAGE RATES ARE
REDUCED ONE:TH|RD
BOARD OF RAILWAY COMMIS-
SIONERS MAKE RULING THAT
WILL SAVE EVERY TRAVEL
ING MAN OF THE STATE FROM
5000 TO $500 A YEAR.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 12.-Late
last night at an adjourned meeting
Of the board of railroad commission
ers the travelling men of the state
were handed a substantial reduction
in excess baggage rates which will re-
suit in saving to the knights of the
grip of one-third on this class of ex-
pense. The new rate goes into effect
March Is.
The new rate as decided upon by
the railroad commission provides that
where the passenger fare for any dis
tance does not exceed 80 cents the
rate for excess baggage will be 10
cents per hundred pounds, as against
the old rate of Is cents per hundred,
with minimum of rs cents. Where
the fare is more than 80 cents the ex-
cess baggage charge will be twelve
and one-haf per cent of the fare. This
makes practically a reduction of thir-
ty-three and one-third per cent in the
present rates. In computing the rate
where the fraction is over five-tenths
the lower figure is to be used; where
over fve-tenths the higher figure is
taken.
Members Of the U. C. T., while feel
ing jubilant over their victory, state
that the reduction should be still
greater and will soon commence a
fight for what they consider are their
rights.
