'Whereas the Honorable Knute Nelson, United

ished and patriotic service in support of the nation,
and Of its president as it's leader in this and by
his dependable loyalty and patriotic service has

Therefore, be it resolved that the democratic ex-
ecutive committee of Minnesota, acting on broad,
patriotic American citizenship, do hereby pledge to
Senator Nelson faith and earnest support for his

democrats to the house of and the senate that ne

time would be a calamity.

The people of Rockingham and
Hamlet we're considerably vexed
and inconvenienced by the lack
of water Tuesday and Wednes-
day. The two towns are supplied
by the Hamlet Water Company,
and Monday the motor bearings
burnt out. The company had to
resort to a smaller pump which
was barely able to supply the
railroad engines with water, leav-
ing the towns waterless.
However, the damage has been
repaired, and the water today
Thursday again flows. But
such a condition as existed this
week should never arise again.
The company should take stems
to meet such an emergency, for
had a fire occurred during those
days the loss would have been
frightful.
