SAFETY FIRST THE WATCHWORD

The way in which Langdon people
this week are putting to side the
social gatherings, turning away from
eli paths that lead to public amuse-
ments. in fact anything that would
SAVIOR of the appearance of a public
assembiage would indicate a start-off
of the Lensen period that should make
FOR the upbui!ding of a better Lang
don. No, it is not altogether a peni-
tential mood that has struck the town
but the carrying out of a few sane
suggestions of the board Of health,
which since the appearance of a case
or two of a mild type of a2iphtheria in
the schools the latter part of the past
week decided that p]recaution against
the starting of an epidemic of the
disease was decidedly better than
having half the town under quarantine
and running the chance of sorrow and
bereavement entering ven a single
Langdon home. Since Monday the
schools have been closed, thoroughly
disinfected and fumigated. The Elec-
eric theatre is doing its share to save
Langdon the name of being a quaran-
tined town by closing up during the
present week. Lodge meetings, and
social gatherings of all kinds have
been "called off, Safety first"
IS the ~watchword. There has from
the first been no cause for a feeling
of alarm and with the beginning of
next week L%angdon and its people
will again resume their usual activi-
ties after a weeks restful spell.

Political Announcement
Of John S. CONN.

l hold that since our forefathers in Indepen.
dence. Hall, on tho battlefield, and by our Ma
tional Constitution provided for and meant to
guarantee in perpetnity to rosterity or US: a Re
publican and representative form of govern
ment, 1T is our right, it is our duty. to maintain
the treasure which they thus gave to their
pOSterlty.
hold that since the farmer-the real farmer
is no longer represented in any branch of the
National government and since the farmer and
his industry is the most necessary and essential
part and portion of orr nation and its indus
tries, we not only no longer are in the enjoy
ment of representative and democratic govern
ments, but our most worthy men and industry
have been degraded, debased and destroyed to
the great peril of our people and the country's
welfare.
In brief l hold that all those ills which we as
a people are now heir to have arisen from the
above fact and the further fact, which the light
of analysis reveals, that this government in
which we no longer have any voice Or proper
recognition has, for many years, maintained a
more hostile and destructive attitude toward
tina farmer and his industry than toward the
convicted criminal.
1herefore: If I, a real farmer and a can
didate for delegate to the coming National
Convention of the Democratic party am, in the
March primary election, chosen by the people
to there represent them, | will. with all the
power and force of my mind andbody endpavor
to, along those lines and for the benefit of the
farmers and people of m country. leave a dncid-
cd impress upon the deliberations of that con-
vention and in the party platform which it
ADOPTS.
