BRASS BAND WAS y
OUT AT DOOLEY

Sheridan, Daniels and Roosevelt
counties were a series of sue
cesses and the crowds, consider
ing the time Of the year and the
extreme heat, were remarkable.
The meetings up to and in
GLIDING the meeting at Plenty
wood were reported in the Pro
ducefs News over a week ago.
The meeting at Dooley a week
ago last Saturday evening was a
splendid success. The meeting
was advertised for the after
noon, but because of the harvest
was poisoned until the evening.
However a number of farmers
came in during the afternoon
and waited over until evening.
In the evening the business
men and farmers got out the
band and it played all the even
ing, and when the speakers ar
rived gave them a musical send
off. e..
1t is needless to say that the
speakers and the farmers appre-
ciated this act of courtesy, and
it was delightful diversion
from the usual reception that
the farmers speakers and orga-
mixers have received in the past,
and even a Lacquer prefers
music to brickbats and this
courtesy on the part of Dooley
will be remembered.
At Dooley, R. c. Arnold,
League candidate for lieutenant
governor, spoke and he was fol-
lowed by Attorney A. w. STANCE
land, League candidate for
Judge, and the last speaker was
Alfred Budden, State Manager
of the Nonpartisan League, who
happened to be in Sheridan coun-

his Office.
