HOW OLD LINE FIGHTS FARM
ERS' ELEVATORS

An interesting instance of the way
that Farmers elevators are discrimin-
ated against when they have no mar
ket but that furnished through old
line firms, was contained in recent
letter to the Equity Cooperative Ex-
change, quoting prices on number Of
carloads Of grain shipped from two
farmers elevators. One of these eleva-
tors was under the control of mana
ger who refused to patronize the Eq-
uity terminal market. He sold every
thing to one particular Chamber Of
Commerce firm. - .. '
The other manager sold half of his
grain to the same Chamber Of Com
merce firm patronized by the former,
and half Of it to the farmers terminal
in st. Paul. The grain consigned to
to the farmers terminal was sold at
the best market price, and in order to
get any of the grain from this eleva-
tor, the Chamber of Commerce firm
YVES forced to. offer good price.
Otherwise the Equity would have got
ten every bushel. The manager got re-
turns on a number of cars for grain
Of similar grade shipped on the same
day from the two prospective points
not far distant, and he found that
where the Equity was in the market
the elvator got from the Chamber Of
Commerce 2 cents to 9 5-8 more per
bushel than the same firm was paying
for grain of the same grade in the ele-
vator where the Antiquity manager
ruled.
For instance 2 carloads of No. 1
Northern sold from the elevator where
the Equity afforded competition
brought SO cents more than 2 car
loads of No. Northern sold the same
day where there was no Equity COM
petition; on another day 1 car of No. 1
Hard brought 3-8 cents more because
of Equity competition than 2 cars of
the same day sold where there was no
such competition.
In his letter telling Of this discrim-
nation, the manager. who had been
| shipping to the farmers terminal and
the Chamber of Commerce also, wrote:
tsNow these figures may not mean
much to you, but according to my
knowledge it is about the best way we
| can convince the people that there is
stealing done where there is no com
Epetition, and sent to where there is
competition" '-..t @
This fact was so well proven that
the particular Chamber Of Commerce
firm which had challenged the farm
ers to prove there was any advantage
| in the farmer-owned terminal, backed
out on it's own challenge and did not
send representative to the meeting
it had called, when the firm discovered
that the manager had been keeping
tab on the Chamber. In view Of these
facts the Chamber Of Commerce firm
did not wish to discuss the superior
ity" of it's service to the grain grow
ers.

PRIVATE Mclean SPEAKS
ls4. At VICTORY RALLY.

Last 11.s.-. zas
neld q IN the nigh scnUur-- for
the purpose Of putting some z1p-Into
the Victory Liberty Loan drive. Every
one who was present will tell the world
that the meeting was great success.
John Philip Sousa Meddaugh, lately
OF the Metropolitan Opera Of New
York and Westhope, led the commun-
ity singing and the technique and ex-
ecltion Of Signor Meddaugh was =
marvel to the local people. Mrs. Gleas-
on sang q solo with much feeling. W.
T. Mum Of Westhope told of the sue
cess Of the other drives in Bottineau
and prophesized that the fifth drive
would 60 over the top in good shape.
A. Benson was chairman Of the eve
ming. The real big event Of the eve
ming was the talk by Private Dhncan
Mclean Of Brandes township, who was
. member Of Co. L. 14Oth Inf. 35th Div
in France, Of which Bottineau county
had a large percentage Of boys.
Private Mclean was wounded twice
and gassed once. His company help
ed plant Old Glory on Dead Mans Hill
No. 203 on September 26th. This di-
vision also was through the Argonne
Forest drive and suffered very heavy
casualties. Out Of $50 men in his
regiment there were 242 casualties
Mr.. Mclean told in detail his whole
trip from when he left Bottineau un-
til his return Of the hardships he and
comrades endured and the part the
"Buck Private" the man who won the
war, played. Mr.. Mclean tells his
story without any attempt to fasten
laurels on himself and tells Of how he
hid under a bunk in his dugout when
Four German raiders came in on him
after trying liquid fire and trench
bombs to get him and his ruse worked
successfully.
Bottineau people express themselves
that Private McLean's talk was the
most descriptive and enlightening that
has been heard in the city for he told
the story Of what was done by our
boys, the story we wanted to hear. /
Mr.. Mclean closed his address by
pointing 10 the Stars and Stripes and
then to the school children. who were
seated in front and asked the ques.
tion: aWere those worth fighting for
"Your answer he said twill be ac-
cordmg TO the way you buy Victory
bonds on April 81. Private Mclean
has spoken in nearly all the towns in
B0ttineau county and has had crowd.
ed houses to greet him.

PRIMARY FOES
]. PLAN REPEAL
\, sAS AS - -
PARTY CONVENTION TO HIT AT
FARMERS - REPRESENTATION
ON GOVERNOR VOTE

&s 0Ss SA 0AA, IMl1uls--1 u0 CAUSluR Ux1yS
Of the Minnesota legislature are being
used by the special-interest represen-
tatives to derive a way to keep organ
lied farmers and workers from taking
control Of one of the old parties. On
the one hand is the. widespread popu-
lar belief in the primary which the
politicians fear; on the other is the
practical certainty that the people will
be able to overthrow the machine can
didates in the next primary.
/ The Warner Hompe bill which has
passed the house, restores the old
party convention system for state Of
ficers and places delegate represer
tation on the vote for president. Gov
ernor Burnquist has come out against
this, bill with a good deal Of pretense,
but his, plan is worse than that contem-
plated by the house. He would have
the delegate representation based on
4ha vote for governor rather than that
for president.
.Inasmuch as the farmer labor forces
tAn an Independent candidate against
him last fall, this trick would bar most
of the progressive element in the Re-
publican party from the convention.
The strongholds Of gang politics would
have the representation.
If this device were not sufficient to
protect the nomination machinery for
the regulars, the old convention tricks
Of counting out the progressives could
be drawn upon.
Other important details of the anti
primary fight are to have the conven-
tion nominate only two candidates for
q certain office and to forbid any one
not indorsed by the convention from
fling as a party candidate.
Editors Take Hand.
Soon after the governor took his
much-delayed stand against the War.
rsHompe bill, 25 Republican editors
|sassembled in st. Paul to Strengthen
his goodsintentions in wrongdoing and
to bring pressure on the Legislature
for a stiff anti-primary bill. Before
adjourning this meeting these editors
voted that it was the sense of their
meeting:
That there be convention preced-
ing the primary. ~.
That there be not more than two
candidates nominated by the conven.
ton. g.
That the convention nominate all
officials (county officials included).
|. They have left behind strong
lobby to work for their program.
|, In the meantime many of the legis.
lators are hearing from home and arr
growing wobbly on the anti-primar5
legislation. Some are reported to be
disgruntled over. the failure Of thu
governor to state his objections before
the Warner Hompe bill passed the
! house. a.,.> -: =, 4 --:i. 'a1-rs-r-z 15s-

BISHOP GARLAND LIKELY
FOR DELAWARE DIOCESE
ABLE PENNSYLVANIA PROMI-
NENTLY MENTIONED AS BISHOP
His Name Brought Forward at Epis-
copal Convention in Detroit TO
Succeed Bishop Kinsman.

The Rt. Rev. Thomas ]. Garland,
bishop suffragan of the Diocese Of
Pennsylvania, stands an excellent
chance Of being elected as the sue
cessOr Of the Rt. Rev. Frederick j.
Kinsman, bishop of Delaware, whose
resignation was accepted by the
House of Bishops at the General Con-
vention Friday afternoon" writes F.
w. N0Icross to the Philadelphia
Ledger, from Detroit, Mich, under
date of Oct. II. This confirms an an
nouncement, printed in Every Even
ing on Septembtr 30, to the effect
that Bishop Garland was then under
consideration in connection with the
election Of a successor to Bishop Kins-
man after the latter's resignation had
been accepted. "a diocesan conven-
tion will be held in Wilmington in
November" MIR. Norcross writes, "at
which Bishop Kinsman's successor
will be elected, and Bishop Garland,
it was said here (Detroit) tonight,
stands first on the list of favorites."
"The other proposed candidate" he
says, 'is the bishop of Fredericktown,
Canada, probably one of the most
brilliant preachers in the dominion
Bishop Garland, however, seems to
have a better chance of obtaining the
election because he is a native Ameri-
can. The only question appears to be
whether he will accept"
The bishop suffragan of Pennsyl-
vania (Garland) is highly esteemed
in Delaware because of his charming
personality and his superior execu-
tive ability. Bishop Garland is con-
sidered on of the best business men
in the Protestant Episcopal Church.
He was in the steel business in Pitts
burg before he became a minister Of
the gospel.
The bishop also has a remarkable
knowledge of church history. Bishop
Garland had several pastorates before
his election as bishop suffragan OF
the diocese of Pennsylvania more
than ten years ago. One of his pas
torates was at Bristol.
He has preached in Wilmington {
number of times, only recently (Sep

Since the above was put in type, the
Hight Rev. Thomas J. Garland, suf
fragan bishop of the Diocese of Penn

the missionary district of Utah. The
house of bishops at an impressive ser
vice Saturday morning in st. Paurs

he accepts, Bishop Garland will sue

Virginia City a few days ago by Judge
Frank Langan, at the instance of the
district attorney of Storey county,

was Immediately filed, a warrant for
Sullivan's arrest was issued and de-
