did not receive majority vote in a
single state in the Union when the
primaries were held. Roosevelt said
in 1912 that the vicious circle must be
broken. If we permit fraud of this
kind to triumph, we do shameful
thing and show either that we are
faint of heart or dull Of conscience
"Who will deny the sound philoso-
ply Of Roosevelt which his spoken
word recalls? Who will deny the
truth which he expressed with refer.
ence to conditions in 1912? Who will
deny that the shameful thing he COM
planned of in 1912 was repeated in
1920? What has this same group
done to re-establish itself in the con-
fidence of the people? In the presi-
Dental election of 1912 they carried
only two states, Utah and Vermont.
What has happened to revert the pub
lie judgment then expressed? What
was a duty then is a duty now, and
have the faith that it will be met on
the End day of November, 1920"

Will E. Holbein, who returned re-
Gently from his vacation spent in Mon
tana, when asked to say something
about his vacation trip, stated that
he would rather talk about the Roose-
welt highway, as he took particular
notice of the highway on his trip to
and from the Flathead Valley in Mon
tana. He stated that this year would
see ia miles Of state and federal aid

and that next year at least 100 miles
would be built on the same highway,

H. E. Aldrich, vice president of the
Equitable Life Insurance Co. of Iowa,
enroute to Des Moines from western
trip, was a guest of the Rotary. He
was enroute to Bismarck, where the
company maintains a branch and he
stopped over in Minot a day to con-
slider possible expansion in the future.
He spoke to the Rotarians and praised
Minot highly. Born on farm, and
the owner of big farm at Millbank,
S. d., himself, he had something to
say about the future for farming in
North Dakota. 1t was but few years
ago that corn could hardly be grown
in northern Iowa. Farmers raised
great crops of wheat in the early days
until the properties that made wheat
possible got out of the soil. Then they
took to corn and hogs and cows and
made more money than ever. Finally
the fertility was put back into the soil
and often the Iowa farmers grow
wheat that averages IS bushels. He
would not predict what he thought
North Dakota land would sell for in
the future, but stated that there is a
great gulf between the price of land in
Iowa and that Of North Dakota that
| must be bridged. Iowa land will not
go back in price, he said, so one can
only conclude that the value of North
Dakota land must advance to bridge
that gulf. Diversifcation will do it,
he said. Mr.. Aldrich has a good rent
er on his South Dakota farm, who
plants 100 acres of corn each year.
The renter pays small rental for the
corn land. He built big corn crib
! On the farm and a warm hog house.
The renter is coming money. He built
five miles of fence on the farm.
The outstanding feature Of the
luncheon was a solo by Leslie A.
White, which he learned while in New
York during the summer: Mr.. White,
who is unusually versatile, had never
been regarded as singer.
The program was in charge of Nor
man Ellison.
