Seymour, southern Indiana city of about
1000 population, has farmers club with
membership of more than 1000. 1t has been in
operation since October, 1914, and Is a thorough
success During 1915 the average daily number
OF visitors to the club was about $50.
The existence of the club Is due-the plain truth
must be told-to the public spirit and generosity
of two business men of Seymour, and not to any
special enterprise on the part of either the farm
ers or the citizens of the town. The Blish broth

BELTRAMI COUNTY
IS DECLARED Wet
Judge Stanton Declares That Half
breeds Have q Right to
Vote,

Bemidji, Minn.' Jan. 6. District
Judge c. w. Stanton. handed down a
decision settling the dispute which
arose over the county option election
of Aug. IA, when the vets won by a
majority OF IL votes. and who now are
favored by the court. The case has
been under consideration for some
time, following the legal contest
brought by ]. j. Opsahl and his col.
leagues. of the dry faction.
The results of the August election
showed a majority of IA votes for the
vets. A recount was made and Ave
blank ballots were discovered. These
were added to the majority. j. j.
Opsahl and other members of the dry
faction contested the election and en-
gagged AttyS. HI. j. Loud, M. j. Brown
and John l.. Brown, while the vets
were represented by Attys. Thayer G.
Bailey and e. E. Mcdonald.
The point at issue which Judge
Stanton had to decide was whether
or not the half breeds residing on the
Red Lake Indian reservation were
entitled to vote. In making the de-
cision the court said:
Article of our state constitution
defines persons who shall be voters
and includes, first, all citizens OF tbs
United States, and second. persons o.
mixed white and Indian blood whs
have adopted the customs and habits
Of civilization"
Adding interest to the case is thu
fact that the greater portion OF th'
territory which is affected by the rul
ing OF the court is now within tn
bounds of the treaty zone OF 1868
and even shipments Of LIQUOR canno
be received, much less placed on sale
