Oliver S. Durham died at his
home in Redwood Falls early
Sunday morning, July 80, after
a long illness. Death was the
result of a complication of di-
seases, paralysis being the di-
rect cause. Funeral services
were held at the residence at
ten-thirty o'clock Tuesday morn
ing and the body taken to Mr..
Dunham's Old home at James
vile, Mimi, where internent
was made at sunset Tuesday
evening.
At the service Rev.N. de M.
Darrell of the Methodist Church
read the service. Miss Amy
Barnes, Mrs. Clarence Hillig,
Rev. Darrell and VIM. M. Smith
sang during the service. The
pallbearers were VIM. Brammer,
H. P. Sanders, w. H. Gold, c..
A. Luscher, F. G.. Hubbard and
H. A. Baldwin. Following the
service the body was taken to
the home of Mrs. Dunham's
mother, Mrs. Davis, at James
vile, where a second service was
held at seven o'clock Tuesday

Mrs. w. R. Barnes, Miss Barnes,
Mrs. Hillig and w. G.. Weldon

also.
Oliver Durham was born at
Beaver Dam, Wis.,, April 10,
1864, and came to Minnesota in
1867, living in GAINESVILLE until
1895 when he came to Redwood
Falls where he made his home
until the time of his death. In
1894 he was married to Nellie
Devereaux, who, with his one
daughter, Mrs. Gladys Durham
Birch, survives him. He is also
survived by two sisters and
three brothers.
The confidence Mr.. Dunham's
townsmen felt in his integrity
of character was shown by his
election to the city council, on
which he served two consecutive
terms several years ago, and of
which he was a member at the
time of his death. This conf
dence had been won by Mr.. Dun
hams irreproachable honesty,
the interest he always showed in
all public works and in his kind
heartedness which made him The
valued friend and neighbor" Of
whom his pastor spoke so feel
ingly in his funeral address. and
which inspired the poem "To a
Friend which was written in
his memory. Mr.. Dunham's
simple philosophy and great
faith was beautiful expressed at
the memorial service in the fine
old hymns sung by a quartet of
friends of whom he was especial
ly fond, and whose songs had al
ways given him the greatest
pleasure. Mr.. Durham has left
that best of all monuments

can be found and in which his

OLD SUSPECT NOTICE WORKED
IN RODRIGUEZ WARD


Seventy-two American citizens in
the 15the ward had their rights as
citizens taken away from them last
Tuesday All Y were voters. They
had all voted in the primary. But
they were barred from voting, were
refused ballots and were told it was
useless for them to try to vote.
Through the serving of suspect no
tees on Rodriguez voters, the same
game was. worked on the 18th ward
Socialist Tuesday which was worked
on Aid. Kenna in the LIST ward
when the county judicial campaign
was on.
VIM. Crews, in charge of the So
cialist organization for manning the
polls of the 18th ward, shows a list
of Y American citizens and voters.
It starts with VIM. A. Millgram and
his wife of 1853 N. Irving av. and ends
with Chas. Ratchet, 2243 Rice st.
Each and every one of these u
American citizens voted at the pri-
mary. But not one of them could
get ballot and pass into a booth and
exercise rights as American citizens
in Tuesdays election. Each was told
a notice stating his or her citizenship
was suspected" and he or she could
not vote.
In the 9Th precinct was a woman
inside the polling place telling voters
how to mark their ballots for Mich
aelson and a uniformed policeman
stood by and saw and heard the wom-
an instructing voters, in violation of
election laws, it is alleged by ROdri-
guez workers. Lawrence LindeIof,
secretary Painters District Council
and a Rodriguez worker, was told !
about it and drove to the place and
made a protest.
Instead of two ballots, one alder
manic and the other judicial, many
voters were handed two judicial bal
lots and only those who were sharp
eyed got a chance to vote for alder

DECENT WORKING HOURS FOR
FIREMEN UP TO COUNCIL

FIREMEN UP TO COUNCIL
Another effort to give the firemen
of the city decent working hours was
passed through the council commit
tee on schools, fire and police yester-
day. 1t will come up at tOday's coun-
Gil meeting.
It is a modified double platoon sys-
tenn which was put up to the people
at the last election and defeated; the
trust press was against it. It has the
endorsement of the labor unions.
The law was passed on almost
without discussion by the council
committee. Aid. Kennedy told the
committee that the city would prob
able have to hire 200 more fremen a
year and that the fiTemen who do the
tough work would have more time
off to stay with their families.
The rule provides that fremen
shall not work more than "a hours
out of 48. At present they must be
on duty 48 out of u.

WILSON TO SHUN STUMP
AND STAY ON HIS Job
Extended Campaign Tour Is put Aside
to Remain on Duty in
Washington

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 16-Presi-
dent Wilson lunched the the White
/ House yesterday with the Democratic
campaign committee and had a good
opportunity to talk about political con-
ditions. The trend of thought among
Democratic leaders was indicated lat
er in two formal announcements, as
| follows:
First, the President will not make a
stamping tour of the country in behalf
of his reelection.
Second there will be no moving up
of the date, for the notification cere,
monies, but these will take place at
Shadow Lawn N. j., September 2, by
which time the President believes
congress will have concluded its
tasks.
These were pointed to by Demo
cratic leaders as indicating two
things: First the President is deter
mined to subordinate politics to public
duty; he will. therefore, not take any
step in the campaign which involves
neglect or postponement Of the i'm
portant work TO be done by him here
at Washington Second. the DemOcra-
tic leaders and their standard bearers
are convinced that no political emer-
gency exists that the Democratic
capital has risen, If anything, in the
period since Republican Candidate
Hughes has been stamping the West,
and that, therefore, it is not inexpedi-
ent for the President to pass over the
appeals Of the politicians who are urg-
ing him to jump into the campaign
with both feet.
While the President will make no
extended stumping tour. it is prob
able that he may accept invitations to
speak at different places. The Presi-
dent has already completed his speech
OF acceptance The notification speech
will be made by Senator James.
The President probably will remain
al Shadow Lawn until he leaves for
Hodgensville, KY, to speak Septem-
Der at the Lincoln ceremony. His
other speaking engagements SO far
include st. Louis. Sept 20, and he
probably will speak before a suffrage
meeting at Atlantic City, Sept 8, and
il Boston Oct H.
After the adjournment Of congress
the President probably will spend
most of his time at Shadow Lawn, and
will receive political delegations there
after the notification ceremonies.
The formal notification Of Vice Press
ident Marshall will be at indianapolis
about a week after the Presidential
notification. Chairman Mccormick will
