Notes of Optimism Sounded
From All Quarters at
White House.
HUGHES FAILS TO AROUSE
ENTHUSIASM, is CLAIM
Dubious Feeling Prevalent When
Republican Candidates Trip
Opened Has Faded.

Optimism prevails among dem
ocratic visitors to the White
House and in the correspondence
reaching there from all parts Of
the country. Old and experienced
employees of the White House are
of the opinion that they have
never seen an administration in
office more sanguine of receiving
the approval of the country at an
approaching election. Demo-
cratic statesmen and visitors
generally carry to the executive
offices the same confidence. Cabi-
net officers bubble over with their
rosy views as to the outlook.
The optimism has increased with the
apparent failure of Candidate Hughes
to arouse his followers through the
country to anything like enthusiasm
for him.
A. Little Dubious at First.
When Mr.. Hughes started out demo-
Gratis paying the White House occa-
sonaI visits were little dubious. They
felt that President Wilson had done
enough to earn reelection, but they
did not know what Mr.. Hughes had up
his sleeve or how successful he would
be in stirring republicans to the fight
ing point. Now that Mr.. Hughes has
half finished his swing across the con-
tinent. these democrats are no longer
worried; they are positively overflow
ing with political joy. They can not
see dent in the democratic lines. Ac-
cording to their view Mr. Hughes has
been disappointing to his own party
and to the people generally.
Many Progressives for Wilson.
It is claimed by democratic leaders
who consulted the President that Mr.
orally are not winning the progressive
vote for him. Letters reaching the
White House and Capitol are said to
show that Mr.. Hughes has lost valuable
time in rallying the progressive vote
and that at least one-third of that vote
has already lined up for President Will
son. A metropolitan newspaper. long
the recognized organ of the progress
sives of the country. lately has been
canvassing the progressives of New
York state. OF $50 answers received
from progressive committeeman. 100
were for Hughes and fifty for Wilson.
Replies from enrolled voters of New
York, who had remained stearfast to
the progressive party through 1914,
showed 5,23s for Hughes and 1853 for
Wilson Canvasses in other states show
ed about the same ratio. According to
the papers analysis of the canvas
the net gain for Hughes from the
progressives vose will be only two
thirds of the total alignment Of that
party as shown in the votes cast in
1911. not in 1912. Fully 100000 pro-

NOW WHERE WE'RE THEY?
Happy Hikers Have Early Breakfast
Out doors.

The morning winds waited the
delicious odors of sizzling bacon,
browning eggs and crisping toast to
Warren's early risers on Tuesday
morning last. At first they = thot
themselves still wra pned, in dreams
Of f5stars pierced nights of the camp
life and, the awakening in the spicy
woods to hear the cracking camp
fire and the sputtering bacon and
eggs, but second thot told them that
somewhere in the greening woods
the Happy Hikers were sitting
around the morning camp fire.
The breakfast committee of the
club: Della, Sylvia and Ahaliba,
were missing on the hike, but when
the hikers were led to a glowing fire
and scented the delicious coffee, the
secretary at once cancelled the fines
and all the hikers were soon fitting
hot slices Of bacon, dripping rich
ness, between newly crisped slices
of buttered toast. But how much or
how many, that the club won't tell.
Its one of the secrets.
The evening before was spent in
the transaction of weighty business,
we are told. A wee corner mouse
heard something about dress, hats,
and neck-ties, but the young ladies
say "just wait till we're ready some
morning. Perhaps the delicious
cakes and ice served by the president
and treasurer would not be- counted
as business by outsiders, but the
Happy Hikers are sure that it is a
part Of their business to find some
of the sweetness and joy of life
along the road.

Likes Red River Valley Best.

= A. f. Hirst and family have re-
turned to Warren, which, after dis
posing Of their personal property
they left about two months ago with
the idea of making their home some
where else. They went first to Hi
nois to visit with Mrs. Hirst's par
ents and after that they travelled
around considerably in said state and
in the states of Indiana, Ohio, West
Virginia and New York. At Buffa-
20, N. Y, they crossed over to the
canadian side and looked over a
large part of the dominion, travel
ling by rail and stopping off where
they wanted, finally arriving at Win
nipeg. There they turned south and
were soon back again in Warren, the
place that looks best to them after
all. Mr.. Hirst says that in all their
travels they have not seen farm
ing country that can compare at all
with the Red River Valley in Min
nesota. One who has farmed the
rich level prairie land here does not
like to go back to grubbing and
clearing land and picking stones or
steep hillsides in other states.

; YEAR OLD CHILD LOST:
PARENTS. GRIEF STRICKEN

One of the sadest affairs that has
ever happened in this county occur
red on Thursday afternoon of last
week when the three year old child
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Winter, liv-
ing on the old Higgens place six
miles east of Hallock, became lost
and has not yet been found. The
little one had been out of his
mothers sight only a few minutes
when all traces of him were lost.
Immediately an alarm was given and
the entire neighborhood turned out
to hunt for him, but up to going to
press last evening the search was
without result. The river, in it's
flooded condition, flows near the
house, and it is now supposed that
the little fellow might have fallen in
and was drowned. The river was
dragged and searched for many
miles, but this was also without
avail. The .grief-stricken parents
are in a state of collapse as a result
of the sad occurrence.
