A telephone message from Ellen.
dale at 10 a. m. today gives the follow
ing information on election returns:
The fusion ticket made almost q
clean sweep in Dickey county.
E. F. Ladd will carry the county
for U. 8. senator against h. II. Perry,
the vote standing Ladd 1885, Perry
1918, with Riverdale, Yorktown and
Wright townships to hear from. These
towns will increase the lead of Ladd.
O'Connor will carry Dickey county
by about 200. With Riverdale to hear
from O'Connor has 2069 and Frazier
1875, 4 difference Of 1874. Riverdale
gave small vote in favor of O'Con-
nor. The legislative ticket is elected
by safe majority. Kelsh for the
senate and Root and Shimmin for the
house.
The Leader wins by nearly 200 ma
jority for official newspaper.
The lowest majority ON the county
ticket is D. J. Brennan for treasurer.
He wins by the safe majority of 128,
with Yorktown and Wright to hear
from. Kellogg, his opponent. was q
well known man, while Dan lacked
acquaintance in the county.
The highest majority on the county
ticket is for Frank Northrop. with Ed
Smith second highest.
Walton will continue to represent
the First commissioner district, and
Jim Hunter will represent the Fifth.
The latest report in state showed
O'Connor to be 10000 ahead with 49,
900 votes recorded. There will be up
wards of 100000 votes cast in the
state, SO 1t is very easy for Frazier to
overcome the O'Connor lead. The re-
suit will undoubtedly be close.
Up to last night the result Of the
state election was doubtful. Returns
are coming in much slower than they
did, at the. primary. Equal suffrage
has more than doubled the vote and as
considerably more time must be al
lowed for counting the ballots it is not
likely that anything definite will be
known before Saturday on the state.
The first. reports Of course show o.
Connor ahead by thousands Of votes,
but only the cities have been heard
from. When the country districts,
Frazier's strongholds, begin to report
it is expected that o Connor's lead will
be considerably reduced and very like
~ wiped out entirely. The winning
candidate ID expected to have a ma
jority Of between twenty and thirty
thousand, and 40 it stands today eth
er man may come ont ahead. All the
dope has been upset this time, 70

Resignation Accepted

On Sunday night last at q congrega-
tionel meeting at the close Of the
church service the resignation Of DR..
Grafton was accepted. The request Of
the pastor that the congregation join
him in asking presbytery to dissolve
the pastoral relation was complied
with.
The following words of appreciation
were adopted by the body unanimously
as their expression Of the work done
and the happy relations sustained by
DR.. and Mrs. Grafton:
In view of the fact that DR.. Graf
ton, our$pastor. is about to leave us
after serving US efficiently to go to a
new field Of service, namely, South
Sioux City, it is proper that we ex-
press our sentiments as a church both
as regarding DR.. Grafton and Mrs.
Grafton, his capable wife and COM
panion in service.
DIR. Grafton came to this field when
we were discouraged. We had not held
services regularly for six months. He
stirred us all to sense of our priv.
ileges as well as duty To him and his
noble companion we are indebted
largely for the new church enter
prise that is challenging our faith and
employing our vision as to our duty
to the present and coming generations.
We take this way Of expressing to
presbytery and to our pastor and his
wife the gratitude we feel in our
hearts for the task that has been at
tempted, which hitherto has seemed
impossible, and for the hope that
burned brightly that God will finish
the work He has begun. The new SUI
perstructure will stand as a monument
to all who have worked and prayed
and sacrificed that church Of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie may be reality in Cakes. And
whenever the gospel is preached in
the new building, what DR.. Grafton
and Mrs. Grafton have done, despite
sickness, shall be told as memorial
not Of them only, but Of every one
who has had part in its construc-
tion.
The family as such has been bless
ing to the community at large and
the impression for good that will be
left behind will never die.
To the new field to which they are
going we wish them a God-speed, and
we assure them that we shall follow
them with our prayers.
] move you, Mr.. Chairman, that this
be adopted as minute Of this body
and that it be spread on the records
Of our church.

DIFFERENT wHEATs COMPARED
Fifth Annual Breeders Sale win B.
Held in Oakes Nov. IL

Some time ago we said considerable
about the Cakes Potato Growers' a.
sociation. Getting all the details of
the organization worked out has taken
. lot Of time and much hard work, but
all this has been justified because the
association win surely be q success
and in years to come people will won
der how we ever struggled along with
out it. At present there are about
twenty members, and the board Of di-
rectors has selected G. D. Smith Of
Cakes as general manager, certainly
a very wise choice, as Mr.. Smith
knows the potato business in all it's
phases. A gradipgsmachine has been
purchased and was recently installed
in A. L. Freeman's warehouse. Sacks
have been purchased also and the
manager is at present receiving con-
signments for carload. Some Of
these potatoes were hauled in from
the vicinity Of Monango. As soon as
the car is loaded, S0ao Of the value Of
the potatoes will be realized by the
individual growers. We are not in
formed as to the market price at this
time.
A clipping received from George
Lane, former secretary Of the farm
bureau, in regard to the raising Of po-
tatoes in the vicinity Of Hoople, N. D.,
says: ''This town has almost ma
tional reputation az the center Of a
potato growing community. Even the
business firms use potato design on
their 1etterheadET N. c.. Olson Of that
place says that "on Jan. 1, 1915, our
bank deposits were about $3.50, 900.
On Jan. /, 1920 the deposits from prac-
tically the same people were $448, $50.
