possible candidates from this district
the only other candidate until Mr..
Whiting got in the race, was MT
Chandler, but with two candidates al
ready out it is rumored that the bars
are down and a number of others are
liable to conclude to try for the nom

ever witnessed in the state is pre-

Among local Republicans who have

for congress on the Republican ticket
are p. J. Hurley, Judge w. j. Gregg.

Mcclure. Judge Gregg declares tha'
he has no intention of being a can,

will return shortly from Washington

how they feel toward Mr.. Mcclure by

run for congress but unless a new
condition as to candidates arises feel:

WAR DOES NOT STOP GRIFFITH'S
PRODUCTION

In spite of the worlds greatest and
most. far reaching war, a great Amer
lean spectacular and, incidently, ar
gument for peace, has invaded the
cohorts of Europe and promises to
stay.
Of course The Birth Of A Nation
is purely American-but it's lessons
are as broad as humanity, itself. The
wonderful realism of war. however,
and the amazement of it all, will take
the place of local color with them and
very likely, it will create as much
European newspaper talk as it has on
this side Of the water.
This big attraction occupies the
boards at the Armory, Williston, on
Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. II and

Hughes Elected
Last SATURDAY.

While the crowd of ball fans were,
receiving the news of the world series,
some one proposed a straw vote on
president. Nearly half the crowd
was composed of democrats, apparent
ly, and Charlie Mansfield fell for the
idea instantly.
So they made him one of the tellers;
and he was asked to read the ballots.
He read: "Hughes-Hughes- hes-Hughess
- Hughes Hughes = Hughes" etc,
etc., about II of them. C. A. stopped
to adjust his glasses, and again it
was Hughes, Hughes, Hughes" and,
then some.
By the time the land office receivers
own ballot showed up he smelled
something-and tryed to do an awful
thing--a disgraceful act, towit change
his vote to HUGHES.
But they nabbed him in the act, and
made him stand pat. Result: Hughes
27; Wilson /.
Charlie says he thinks the straw
was rusted. And that straw votes are
like dreams-go by contraries.

SENIOR SENATOR
VISITS W|LL|ST0N
McCUMBER PLEADS REPUBLI-
CAN CAUSE-MAkES TARIFF
THE LEADING ISSUE

Although his coming had been but
slightly advertised, Senator Porter J.
McCumber, of Wahpeton, was accord
ed good sized audience at the court
house Tuesday evening. When he
made an able address in support of
the republican cause and candidates.
Although he devoted a part Of his
speech to criticism of President
Wilson's foreign policy, the chief bur-
den of his argument concerned the
tariff question. He showed how the
great volume of trade that this coun-
try now has is the result Of the war
and not Of the Underwood tariff law.
The close of the war, he said, will
bring about new conditions that will
result in serious commercial depres-
sion unless a protecting tariff wall is
built around our market sand our fac
tories. The senator recited figures to
prove that during the time the demo-
cratic tariff was inforce before the
European war started our export
business declined and our import busi-
ness was increased by foreign made
goods.
Germany was cited as a. country
which had kept a high tariff wall
around it's industries for many years
and grown rich by it.
The senator spoke in his own behalf
by showing how important to the in
terests of the nation it was that the
democratic majority of sixteen in the
senate be overcome at the November
election.

GOOD YIELDS IN
BAD CROP YEAR
REMARKABLE THRESHER RE
TURNS AT THE WILLISTON
SUB.STATION FARM

In a year Of widespread disaster T.
wheat and some other crops, the grain
at the Williston Experiment station
has returned yields fully up to the.
high standard established by the farm.
in former years. Stem rust and other
blighting diseases touched the grain
at the state farm in but few spots.
Aside from escaping prevailing dis
eases, the grain raised on the variety
tests and rotation plots is we'll worth
the careful consideration of grain
farmers. The yields on the variety
test plots or separated strips average
so far above those on the large fields
of the ordinary farm that it is diff
cult to understand where the differ
ence lies. 1t has been suggested that
the extra sunshine and moisture re-
ceived because of the open spaces be-
tween the strips may be one of tho
answers.
1t is said that in some portions of
the semi-arid Southwest farmers
practice inter-tillage-p planting their
small grain in narrow fields with open
strips between, wide enough to cul-
tivate. There may be great value in
the idea for the man farming a small
acreage and willing to devote him
self to intensive methods.
Figures of 1916 Crop
1t should be said that just ordinary
good farming, including thorough till
age, proper rotations and pure, strong.
seed, is used at the farm and there.
never has been any irrigation used or,
small plots from which yields are
stated and no irrigation on any part
Of the farm for over two years. The
plots and the grain is accurately
measured.
The figures below were obtained,
from Supt. Ruzicka.
Field crops, 10 to 80 acres-yields:
per acre: wheat, average, % 1-2;-
barley, average, 43; oats, average, 81.
One hundred and fifty rotation,

tated farms: wheat, average, 27;.
oats, average, 20; barley, average, 49,.
flax, average, II.
Variety test plots: wheat, highest.

Oats, highest, 1903; average, 90. Bar

highest, % 12; average, 20.
The only wheat affected by rust
was two stripes of late seeding-May

Practically all of the corn on the
farm matured.

Who Is Rodney
Stone, And Why?

A man said to be Zane Grey, the
writer of popular western stories, reg
istered at the Great Northern last
week as Rodney Stone, Chicago. He
did not deny his identity as the we'll
known author and it was assumed
that his real name was Rodney Stone.
Now comes "Who's Who In Amer
lea" and says Zane Grey is Zane Grey
never a word about Rodney Stone
and that he was born in GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, also in 1875. 1t seems the town
was named for some of his ancentors-
Possibly Rodney Stone is disguise,
under which Mr.. Grey travels about.
to gather the local color stuff.
While here the man who registered
at the Great Northern said he was.
expecting to meet Jack London some
place in the West. Upon leaving Will
liston he went to Havre.
Zane Grey wrote The Light of
Western Stars, Riders of the Purple
Sage, Desert Gold, The Border Legion.

UNDERWOOD TARIFF
CUMM|NS' TARGET
IOWA SOLON ATTACKS DEMO-
CRATIC POLICIES AND AD-
VOCATES PROTECTION

Albert B. Cummins, United Statess
senator from Iowa, and statesman
of such national repute as to have
been seriously considered for the pres
idency, speaking to an audience at the
court house last evening, poured ar
gumentative hot shot into the Wilson
administration, his favorite mark be-
ing the Underwood tariff law which
he termed the most remarkable COM
bination Of ignorance and indifference
ever placed on the Legislative records.
The figure of the spare, white hair
ed veteran of many political battles,
drawing near to his hearers, some
times even advancing into an isle,
speaking Slowly, calmly, dispassion-
ately and with persuasive logic, was
one of the most interesting an au-
dience could ask for. His earnestness
of manner and fairness of argument
were calculated to carry conviction to
those before him. He indulged is none
of the devices of ridicule or sarcasm
and had nothing to ask, for himself,
but devoted his effort to his mission
of bringing home to his hearers the
necessity for republican victory in
this election.
Senator Cummins made but slight
reference to Mr.. Hughes but argued
the soundness and expediency of the
policy of high protective tariff against
the folly and inefficiency of tariff for
revenue only. He believed there was
such thing as tariff that was too
high and believed we had experienced
tariff schedules unnecessarily high.
He explained that the close of the
European war was certain to bring
conditions that would make protection
of American interests and home mar
kets essential to commercial welfare.
All the nations of Europe, he said,
expect Great Britain, had long fol-
lowed the protection policy, as
means to commercial preparedness.
In the early part Of his speech the
senator dealt with the need of mill
tary preparedness. In conclusion he
dwelt on foreign affairs, finding much
to criticise in the course pursued by
the president, especially as to Mex
leo. He believed that in the last three
or four years the United States had
lost prestige in the estimation of 9TH
er leading nations-a fact that should
wound our pride. "And we must have
pride," said the senator, "for without
pride there can be no progress"
