THE OTHER SIDE

The Dickinson Press has BEEN
asked to reprint the following letter.,
written by Valentine -,Kch, clerk Of"
court of Stark county, and published
in the Bismarck Tribune. It relates
to the recent meeting of the German
societies of Stark county, held in
Dickinson:
Dickinson, March 10th, 1916
Gentlemen: We read so much pro
and con in the state papers about
the meeting of German delegates in
Dickinson, Of the German societies Of
Stark county. This was not a meet
ing of the German Alliance as some
will try to make you believe, the
German Alliance not being very
strong in this county. There were
eight German societies represented at
this meeting, of which only two Of
the smaller belong to the alliance
and only one claims any connections
whatever with the North Dakota Per-
sonal Liberty league.
There was a certain bunch of poll
ticians present at this meeting, who
were the original agitators for a.
meeting of this kind and who are re-
sponsible for the calling Of the meet
ing, but after seeing that their mem
were losing out, they finally succeed
ed in passing a resolution not to en-
dorse any more candidates for state
Offices, but this was not done until
after candidates for the United
States senate, representative to on
gress and a candidate for governor
was endorsed. The endorsements
given are as follows:
l.. B. Hanna, over P. J. McCumber,
for the United States senate.
L. A. Simpson, unanimous, for rep
~resentative to congress, 3rd district.
J. H. Frame, unanimous, for COVER
nor.
M. L. Mcbride for state senator.
c. G. Turner, H A. MackoH and J..
Rothschiller representatives to the
state legislature.
For the rest of the county ticket
the full set of present officials were
endorsed with the exception of sher-
if, for which office no endorsement
was made. ,
I have read a report in the Fargo
Forum for March 9th, of one certain
John Metzger, who claims to be Sec
rotary of the organization, but which
is not so, he being appointed only to-
act in the absence of the regular Sec
rotary, who is Jacob Kipp Of Dickin-
! son, N. D.
, All the state papers will be able to
get a report of the meeting and as
to what really happened at the meet
ing from Jacob Kipp, secretary, or
county Commissioner John J.. Lob of
Dickinson, who is president of the
organization.
Certain parties in Bismarck, hav-
ing much influence in the Liberty
league, Of course are dissatisfied with
the outcome of the meeting, one
party even going so far al to say
that R~othschiller would not stand for
anything like that in Stark county.
Well, Nh. Liberty league agitator, we
in Stark county endorse the men that
we think are best fitted for the diff
ferent offices, and we do not need
anybody from Bismarck to tell US
who to vote for, for any office.
Then further more, there is no man
in North Dakota, or in Stark county
for that matter, who can claim to
absolutely control the Germans in
Stark county, and vote US in a bunch,
like so many cattle. We are intelli-
gent enough to think for ourselves
and do not want to be used as a
club by any politician in the state,
for personal gains.
Hoping to see this in print, I am,
Very truly yours,
VALENTINE KOCH.

PRICE SAME LOAvES SMALLER
Win Probably Be No Change in Cost
of Bread in Sumter.

The price of a loaf of bread will re-
main the same in Sumter, it was stat
ed at the local bakeries today, but the
lOaves will be made slightly smaller
because of the rise in the price of
flour during the past month. At least
this is the present plan, as announced
this morning. although it is expected
the price of flour will drop again some
time early in ney+ month when the
new wheat begins to come in. at which
time the size Of the loaves will return
to normal. The decrease in size is
such that it Is hardly noticeable and
there are probably few hOusehOlders
who have remarked on the decreased
weight of the bread which they buy.
At one bakery it was stated that they
had contracts which had to be filled
with bread of the regular size and
weight no decrease being allowed un-

Letter to DR.. w. w. Long suggest
ing that wheat. oats. rye. rape and

nfshed instead Of some others not
suited to this section right now:

Professor w. w. Long. Clemson Col
lege. s. c.
Dear Sir: Mr.. Williams has just
shown me the list Of seed that is being
offered for distribution to the flood
sufferers by the congressional COM
mittee. and he says that there are only
two o. three varieties that will be of
any bensot to the farmers. who are
suffering on account Of having their
crops destroyed. until another year.
Would 1t not be possible to have
such seed as COW peas. soy beans. mill
lett. sorghum and Soudan grass, left
of and substitute the fall grains such
as wheat. oats and rye that can be
planted at this time?
ftr. Williams said II was not his
business to suggest what kind OF seed
should be distributed. as this matter
Is In the hands Of his superior officers,
but feeling that your Office is always
open to suggestions from the Sumter
Chamber of Commerce. ], take the iib-
berty Of suggesting that you have the
seed that are out of season left of and
these others substituted.
The list, that has been sent to Mr..
Williams contains rape and garden
seed. The rape seed will be timely
and also the garden seed, II they are
fall and winter varieties.
I have made an estimate Of the
number of people needing help and
free seed. and from statements made
to me by various leading farmers. I
should say that $50 farmers will need
the kind Of seed referred to above.
Thanking you for your past courteous
cooperation, and with best wishes. I
remain. Cordially yours.
