w. E. Purcell of Wahpeton, demo-
cratic candidate for United States
senator, spent Monday in Cavalier
county in the interest of his candidacy
and delivered an address at the court
house in Langdon Monday night. Mr..
Purcell is an excellent speaker and
with a good command of language he
made a temperate address in which he
strongly arraigned the trend of admin
istration prior to the present national
one, and praised the work of President
Wilson and of the present congress in
constructive legislation for the benefit
Of all the people of the land rather
than a few special interests and Wall
street. Before entering upon the
main purpose of his speech, the advo-
cacy of the democratic principles, and
his own candidacy for election to the
United States senate from this state,
Senator Purcell spoke in brief for the
state and county candidates mention
ing in particular F. O. Hellstrom,
democratic candidate for governor.
That the democratic party served the
interests of the people rather than
"big interests was the main purport
Of Senator Purcell's speech, although
repeatedly he spoke in the most flat
tering and most complimentary terms
Of VIM. ]. Bryan. He eulogized the
democratic administration for the
work accomplished, the democratic
tariff, the currency bill, the enforce
ment Of the Sherman antitrust law,
the prevention Of war with Mexico
and the twenty-five peace treaties
entered into by Wilson and Bryan,
also the attempt to settle up the Pan
ANA canal controversy. Senator Pur-
cell, in speaking for himself, pointed
to his work in the Ballinger inquiry
and added that he is in complete SYM
pathy with Bryan and Wilson. He
closed his address with a strong plea
for peace.
The speaker was introduced by Mr.
John Mahon, who is a candidate for
the state senate from this district on
the democratic ticket and who spoke
in a highly complimentary manner of
Senator Purcell, giving a brief view
of the latter's career.

Emporia, May 5.@Thousands of

herds. Several trainloads of steers
were received last week and this week
between 5000 and 10000 Texas catthe

slightly cut down this year, because
the pasturage is shorter. Where four
acres were apportioned to single

being apportioned this season. Among
those who are receiving cattle in their
pastures are John Isaacs. ID. M. Har-

About half the corn planting in
this county has been finished. The
rain will keep the farmers out of the
fields a day or two. but will put the
soil into excellent condition for cul-
tivating. Wheat never was better
than it is now. and the alfalfa fields
are booming. The late frosts did not
harm this sturdy plant, and the farm
ers are assured of a great yield from
their mortgage litter again this year.
