Louisville Especially -Kentucky gave
a majority In excess Of $4,000 for the
Wilson and Marshall ticket at Tuesday
election. All of the present Congress
men-nine Democrats and two Repub
licans-were reelected. The weather
was perfect and the voting was the
heaviest In a decade. The election
was probably the most orderly ever
conducted in Kentucky.
The gains shown by Wilson over the
presidential vote for Bryan in 1908 and
over the gubernatorial vote for Stan
ley In 1915 were larger than we're ex-
pected by Democratic State Campaign
Chairman J. Campbell Cantrill, and
they were, to say the least astounding
to Republican Campaign Chairman
Ludlow F. Petty. The largest relative
gain shown was In Daviess county,

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 15.-With
the completion of testimony by the de-

the third trial OF Joseph w. Bragdon
will go to the jury tomorrow. The
accused clubman admitted he arrang-
ed with detectives to send out Of town,
Mrs. Madge Roland, who subsequently
became the states witness.
Foundations for a charge of perjury
were indicated when Bragdon was
cross examined, on his denial that on
the day following the fight of the
three girl witnesses for the state he
telephoned to the sister Of one of them
in their behalf. 1t is understood the
state late today will question the tel

The Sole Object of Campaign.
The object of the campaign is
primarily to raise the amount Of
money needed to meet the urgent de-
mands for more hospital room in
which patients from all over the state
may be cared for and not taken to the
twin cities, thereby making the hos
pital a Fargo institution-one for the
best interests of the city and the
state. Much as 1t is regretted by the
Sisters, scarcely a day passes that
patients are not turned away or Ii
admitted, must accept the accommoda-
tion the hospital can afford. which is
frequently cots in the corridors.
Little History of st. Johns.
st. Johns hospital was opened to the
public in modest way on April IL,

as to early spring activity on the
farm, the Democrat was told by a
pioneer. engaged in cropping land of
Cavalier county for upwards of twenty
years. that during this period he had
been able to do field work on his farm
Of kind or another during the
saonth of March in seven different
years. He mentioned the season of
1905 as the year in which work on
the farm made its early record start,
when considerable dragging and some
seeding was done during the latter
part Of February. The Democrats
informant stated that the first early
spring work of these record breaking
years were generally viewed by the
farmer more as an experiment and
net as a real start.off of the springs
work.
