Jud Cory Talks On Fair

Judson Cory, formerly Of this
city, now manager Of the Ekalaka
Eagle, arrived in Miles City Sat
urday night on bis way to Hardin
for a fishing trip. "Jud" reports
severe storms in that section, one
storm especially was accompanied
by so much water that james
Munro's place was submerged.
However, crops never were bet
ter in that section, according to
Mr.. Cory.
Relative to the Ehalaka fair
and race meeting. September [ /
and Is, Mr.. Cory said that the
event this year will surpass in
every respect any of the success
full events of the same kind that
Ekalaka has passed to its credit
every year for g long series Of
years. Ekalaka has a good race
track and is the place for holding
| the official county fair and it is
expected that the people Of the
new county will give the event
their united support and not only
attend in generous punches but
also that they will enter into the
spirit Of The occasion and every
ranchman and farmer do his level
best to take in something to the
fair that will help proclaim the
abounding resources Of the south
eastern corner of Montana.
He said that he appreciated the
publicity that Miles City papers
had already given the EkalaEa
fair and assures those who attend
from this place that they will be
we'll taken care of and that the
races and other events will repay
them for their trip if entertain-
rnent Of that kind appeals to
them at all, as the purses are all
liberal and there will be a large
number Of events each day, so
that there will be something do
ing the whole of each afternoon
and in the evening dancing will
serve to while away the time till
Orpheus calls.
Ekalaka intends likewise to
have a good representation at the
Custer county fair, as she did at
the Roundup, said Mr.. Cory, al
though now divorced from Custer,
PuptoWn still holds warm place
in its heart for the old county
and the old berg, Milestown. -

A Warning Against Dodder

Alfalfa seed producers will &c
we'll to examine their fields close
" for traces of dodder that may
have escaped observation unit
this time. At this time OF the
year the dodder plant is easily
recognized at a distance. The
bright golden or reddish brown
tendrils are very conspicuous, ano
even a small plant or an infested
host is quickly seen.
Not only should seed producers
eradicate this pest but hay pro-
ducers as we'll. for if left to its
own course it will rapidly spread
throughout the fields and kill the
alfalfa or clover. However, it
is of prime Importance that seed
growers should clean it out now
before it produces seed and later
becomes mixed with your market
able product. Even a trace OF
dodder in alfalfa seed makes it
an inferior grade and practically
a drug on the market. Some
very choice lots of seed have been
rejected simply because eXami-
nation revealed a trace OF dodder.
1t is practically impossible to
clean out from alfalfa or clover
seed, without expensive nlachin-
cry. hence it is imperative that
we prevent its reproduction in
the field as the cheapest means
Of eradication.
The dodder plant starts from a
seed but later, as the plant be-
comes larger anCt stronger. it at
taches itself by means of tiny
sucker like tendrils to the stem
of the alfalfa OF clover plant. 1t
then becomes a parasite, preying
upon the alfalfa plant for it's
nourishment, which finally re-
suits in the death of the host
plant. These slender thread like
tendrlls continue to spread from
one plant to another, and some
times patches Of four or five feet
in diameter will be seen in the
infested fields.
One of the most successful
ways of eradicating from the
field is by means Of burning out
patches with straw. At this sea-
son as the dodder plant begins to
ripen it can be burned out readily
without permanent injury to the
alfalfa. Over large patches scat
ter several forkIu}ls of straw and
burn over the infested area thor
oughly. This viii clean up the
dodder plants and any seed that
may be rlpenlng. A few hours

him. They knew that, in the Senate,
Theodore Bilbo had demonstrated that he
was not easily covered, and perhaps did
not expect him to passively submit to the
outrage put upon him. But they did not
dream of the TEMPEST of righteous wrath
which they had Embossed; they had no con-
ception of the brave and resolute spirit
which they had aroused, and perhaps did
not fully realize what they had done, until
the people of Mississippi, at the polls, in
August following, COMPOUNDED them with
an amazing vote of confidence in the man
whom they sought to destroy, which was
whitening rebuke TO his enemies.
He was chosen Lieutenant Governor by
an overwhelming majority over both of
his opponents, in the first primary, and
this majority was capped in his home
county, by such a vote of confidence as was
never given before to any man in the
history of Mississippi politics. Out of
twelve hundred votes he received more
than thousand; at his own voting pre-
cinct and the adjacent precinct, he re-
ceived every vote that was cast in that
election. Match that record if you can, We
slanderers and assassins Of character!
Match it or shut up! And remembered he
made this fight single handed and alone,
against the most stupendous odds that
every confronted any man in any under
taking. He was nobody's candidate but
his own; he took his cause in his own
hands, and presented it to the people of
Mississippi; he was triumphantly justified.

mental equipment of the man that COM
pels our respect, and the loyalty to princi-
Piles that appeals to our confidence. These
are the qualities which have distinguished
his public life and career and with which
all are familiar. Everybody knows that
Theodore Bilbo is brave and loyal and
steadfast; everybody recognizes that he is
a very able man.
But his friends who are privileged to
know him intimately, recognize many 9TH
er qualities in him that still further ex-
plain the wonderful hold that he has upon
the confidence and affection of his home
people. They know that he is clean and
honest, and upright; they know that he
never betrayed trust or the confidence of
a friend they know that he is warm heart
ed, and generous; unselfsh and true; they
know that his home life is sweet, serene
and altogether beautiful.
He lives on a small farm, in modest
house, near Poplarville, every aspect of
which and every incident of its furnish
ing and housekeeping breathes the essence
of a home where good taste, refinement
and culture rule; where Love is sovereign,
and Peace his minister.
He is blessed with a noble wife Of good
heart and gentle disposition, supplemented
by rare degree of culture and fine intel
ligence. His daughter, Miss Jessie Forest
Bilbo, and little son of four years, named
Theodore Junior, complete the happy do
nestle circle to which Mr.. Bilbo so fire.
quently returns for new strength and in
SEPARATION, when worn and spent in the MOL
and toll of political battle and struggle.
Back of all of his accomplishment,
animating and sustaining his endeavor'
and largely contributing to his success, lie
the potent influence and inspiration of an
ideal home life.
This, in brief, is the real Theodore Gil
more Bilbo, who has been more grossly
Inisdepresented, villified and caricatured
than any other man in the history Of the
State.

popular choice. The ambitions of promi-
nent men in every part of the State were
played upon, by the manipulators of the
secret caucus, to persuade them to enter
the contest for the prize, in order to make
local and county pride effective, to seduce
Vardaman men in the legislature from
their allegiance to him. The secret ballot
was devised to conceal from the constitu-
ents of these legislators how their ballots
were cast for Senator. This plan was sue
cessful; the secret method employed, and
the combinations made were effective to
elect, after many days, Leroy Percy, of
Greenville, to fill out the unexpired term
Of Senator McLaurin, by majority of two
in the Secret Caucus.
The story Of the debauchery attempted
by some of the opponents of Mr.. Varda-
man in that unholy conspiracy to send the
United States Senate man who was not
wanted by the people whom he was pre-
sumed to represent, does not make pleas
ant reading for patriotic Mississippians,
so we will not, here, dwell upon it.

A Man Of Convictions.

We believe that in Mr.. Bilbo will be
found a man who not only has convictions
and pronounced ones, at that, but who will
embody them in his administration of
government if elected to the gubernatorial
office and given legislature in sympathy
with his policies. We believe that his
platform policies win not melt away into
thin air, and that he will live, officially,
the principles which have come to be
synonymous with his name and his cam
paign against greed and graft, against
public corruption and against malfeasance
in ofice.-ClaSksdale Challenge.

THE DULANEY BRIBERY INCIDENT.

Mr.. Bilbo, always an ardent supporter
of Mr.. Vardaman, early became con-
spicuous champion of the peoples choice;
and was both jealous and unfaltering in
that behalf. Every means that intrigue
and corruption could suggest were ex-
hausted to make break in the Varda-
man ranks. Finally L. G. Dulaney, a friend
and ardent partisan of Leroy Percy, APP
preached Mr. Bilbo and offered him bride
of one thousand dollars to vote for Leroy
Percy. OF this amount he paid $645.00 to
Mr.. Bilbo, who reported the transaction to
the grand jury of Kinds county, turning
the money over to that body which prompt
" found true bill charging bribery
against Dulaney, who, when his case was
called for trial, did not dare face a jury
of Kinds county, where the offense was
committed, but got a change of venue to
Yazoo county, where before Judge w. A.
Henry, he was acquitted.
AS every unprejudiced observer saw the
motive Of the defense and of the court, in
this trial, was to save Dulaney from the
penitentiary by discrediting Mr.. Bilbo,
the chief witness against him, it was soon
made clear that the plan and purpose of
the whole trial was not to determine the
innocence or guilt Of the man indicted, but,
if possible, to convict Theodore Bilbo of
every infamy known to the calendar of
shame and dishonor, and thus destroy a
man whom they feared, above all others,
in the political battle then impending.
To this end, the invention Of evil minds,
bad hearts, and slanderous tongues was
exhausted; smart lawyers, supported by
the man on the bench, applied themselves
diligently and sxillfully to the task, not
of defending their client, but of blacken-
ing the reputation Of Dulaney's accuser
before jury of strangers to him. They
did not dare undertake such a shameful
proceeding in Jackson or anywhere else
that Mr.. Bilbo was known. Hence the
change of venue to Yazoo City and YER
dict of acquittal for Dulaney.

BREWERS ATTEMPT TO DESTROY
HIM.

He was elected Lieutenant Governor
and duly installed. He had proven his
strength and his wonderful hold upon the
confidence and affections of the people of
his State. Earl Brewer had slipped into
the Governors chair, while the people
were occupied in righting the wrong done
Vardaman and Bilbo, by INSCRIPTIONS
politicians; nobody was looking, and Earl
Brewer, cunningly slipped in. The mans
character has been SO fully revealed in re-
cent records of shame and infamy and
gross prostitution of his high office to the
basest of personal ends, that no recital Of
that maladorous history is necessary here,
Earl Brewers intelligence all runs to
cunning; he sought at first to make an al
lance with Lieutenant Governor Bilbo, for
the purpose of promoting his own p0liti-
cal fortunes. Mr.. Bilbo declined. He then
determined, that with unlimited money at
his command, and servile judges to do his
bidding, he could destroy this formidable
figure in Mississippi affairs, whose
strength he could not use for his personal
ends
Accordingly he employed the greatest

many newspapers as possible and through
judges willing to do their masters bidding,
undertook to destroy the man whom he
could not use. He exhausted every re-
source of bis high office and spent many
thousand dollars of the peoples money,
only to land himself in q pit of infamy.
and elevate the Lieutenant Governor still
higher in the respect and love and conf
dence of his fellow citizens.
All Of this shameful record is of recent
writing and needs no repetition here.
Suffice it that Theodore BiIbo came out
of that fierce ordeal whited by the fires
that assailed him, while they bIackened,
beyond any cleansing, the names of those
who knidIed the flames of persecution.
The unfiinching courage, endurance and
resolution Of Theodore BiIbo in battle
against fearful odds, are striking charac-
teristics that command our admiration;
but not less remarkable is the splendid

TAKES HIS CAUSE TO THE PEOPLE.

Senator Bilbo then realized that the
verdict which acquitted Dulaney would be
translated, by his enemies, into con-
domination of himself. So then and there,
he resolved to appeal his case to higher
tribunal to take it to the sovereign people
of Mississippi and accordingly, from six
hundred platforms in six hundred
speeches, before the people Of every county
in Mississippi, he denounced that Judge
and his rulings; he pursued with whip of
scorpions, the sIanderers who sought
to blacken his good name, the politicians
who sought to defame and destroy

rcrs and addresses discussing the
place of the child in the family, the
church, the state, the schools and the
civic life, and the plans for properly
fitting the child for the needs of
modern life
The speakers include leading repre-
sentatives of practically all the differ
ent religious communions and of the
different types of schools and col
leges. The organization is interna-
tional in its membership and field, but
the war prevents many foreign
speakers from being in attendance.
Some of the notable persons who
will participate are: Bishop Charles
D. Williams, Bishop F. j. Mcconnell,
John T. Finley, Mrs. Anna Garlin
Spencer, DR. Walter Rauschcnbusch,
Charles T. Stelzle, Philander p
Claxton, Rabbi Abram Simon, Mrs.
Ella Lyman Cabot, Graham Taylor
and Charles f. Thwing.
The association recently adopted the
policy of alternating types of con-
venticn. The one held last year was
of the specialized type" consisting
of reports and conferences on higher
education. The one here will be of
the popular type with large public
meetings in addition to the many con-
ferences and reports of special com
missions. The meetings will last five
days.
