ED OVER ON HIM.

Ed. Toler of Moses couee had a
very exciting experience while COM

recently The rear axle of his car
broke down and the machine turned
over on him, pinning him under the
car. He was in plain sight of the

about three miles away. He shouted
for help and used a portion of the
broken windshield to throw the suns
rays into the eyes of some of the
men working in the orchards below

was wrong and got pair of field

JURY TAKES 80
MINUTES TO FIND JOHN
MCDONALD GUILTY
EIGHTH DEFENDANT IN CASE
COMMENCED LAST FALL De
CLARED GUILTY IN CHELAN
COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT.

John Mcdonald was found guilty of
being member of the I. W. w, an
organization which teaches and ad-
vocates crime and violence. by Jury
in the Chelan county superior court
Monday.
The jury was out less than half an
hour when an agreement was reach
ed, but it was then nearly 6 O'Clock
and the verdict was not actually
drawn up and returned until 7:30.
At that time Judge Grimshaw
Prosecuting Attorney W. F. Whitney,
representing the state and Ralph
Pierce, representing the defense.
were all present in the courtroom to
hear the result of the jury's deliber-
alton. The defendant. John Melon
aid, was also present in the court. as
is required by law.
The verdict of the jury was to the
effect that they had found John Me.
Donald guilty as charged in the in
iOi i'oVIOii oHuci tlle criminal SNflu-
calsm law of the state.
There had never been very much
doubt in the minds of those who
heard the testimony as to what the
outcome would be. Attorney Ralph
Pierce. though a skilled and capable
lawyer, was unable to make any
headway against the unassailable
case that had been built up by the
prosecution. The witnesses brought
in for the defendant failed to render
any substantial assistance in break
ing down the evidence of the state.
The following citizens of Chelan
county were members of the jury
which found the eighth defendant
guilty in the l. w. w. prosecutions
commenced last October: Guy Stage
of Peshastin, f. F. Moore of Wenat-
chee. f. T. Balch of Malaga, H. A
kiesling of Wenatchee, O. l.. Barker
of Entiat, Hubert Remley of Dryden

ner of Cashmere, F. J. Dietrich of

HALL WITH EQUIPMENT For
PHOTO PLAYS. IS CONTEM-
PLATED.

At meeting of the Dryden Lodge,
NJ. W. A. Monday evening a commit
tee was appointed to canvass the
field with view to erecting a splen-
did lodge home and community build
ing with possibly large ground
floor room to be rented as a garage
or other purpose.
Dryden is a progressive commun-
ity, numbering among its inhabi-
tants and the surrounding TERRITORY
some of the wealthiest people of the
county and they can have just what
they want in case they can work to-
gether, which is the only way in
which any community can really
grow and prosper. for no single fam
lily or small number of people can ac-
complish much The greater the
number to cooperate the greater
success may be made.
Now it is realized that some place
in which to hold community gather
ings, shows, lectures and like enter
tainments, is needed and the move
has been started as a Woodmen en-
terprise, this being the strongest or
ganization, we believe, in the COM
munity. All that is needed to insure
success is that good-natured, live
wire cooperation that is usually
shown in bonafde business matters
and no one should contend for a min
ute that social matters should not
have business attention and the care
and thought that makes business sue
cessful.
Here is to Dryden's success in this
matter

VILLAGE DELIVERY.

Postmaster Hamilton has received
from the postal department request
for information as to the city's pre-
paredness for village delivery. and it
will be necessary for the Service
club to do some work in assisting the
postmaster in securing the informa-
ton. 1t will also be necessary that
the street signs and house numbers
he put in place within short time.
There is also the matter of improv-
ing our sidewalks and street cross
ings. 1t may be necessary in some
cases that cross walks be built and
also that some stretches Of sidewalk
be laid
The improvements required to Sc
curing village delivery are necessary
anyway. so that it will be well to
have everything move forward as
soon and as smoothly as possible

FIRE ALARM.

Yesterday at one o'clock fire was
discovered in the roof of Days con-
fectionery and the department was
on the job in about two minutes. 1t
happened that the first was discover
ed in its incipiency and was handled
by a small chemical before it had
gotten much of a start. Fortunately
there was no wind at the time.
This building is the only frame one
left on Front street. 1t is owned by
Darling of Everett and ought soon to
give way to a new structure. though
we should rather not run the risk of
having it removed by fire.

| CELEBRATION AT
STUMP LAKE PARK

Michigan, N. d.. July 1.-The larg-
"s* crowd v gathered together in
county was at the Old Settlers
PARK at Stump lake, July 5. Thousands
of people came from adjoining u
ties to celebrate independence day.
More than 5000 passed through the
gates. Everybody had a good time and
all agreed that the park was the best
in the state.
Rev. A.. L. Lantz Of Aneta. one of
our soldier boys, was the SPEAKER and
gave a %forceful talk along the lines of
patriotism and education. Lakota and
Aneta played ball, Lakota winning by
a score of 4 to 2. 1t was a fast game
from the start. Swimming and other
events were put on in the af-
ternoon. The Fisher-Shipp Concert
company of Chicago entertained the
crowd with two full programs. The
Pekin band gave the crowd plenty Of
good music and the launches were
kept busy all day and most Of the
night giving excursions. Fireworks
and a bowery dance entertained the
crowd for the evening. The old settlers
proved themselves good entertainers.

no coMu1.Ar1vE VOTING.

In the expectation that the result
Of the election on the adoption of the
commission form of government in
dicated in the u%nofhcial returns would
be substantially sustained by the Of
Ncial canvass, and that it would be
found that the new plan had been
legally adopted by q small majority,
there has been some discussion Of the
method voting to be used when the
commissioners arc elected, and 1t
appears that some of our people sup
pose that the cumulative form of vot-
ing is to be used.
The commission law as originally
use of the cumulative vote in the elect
ion OF the commissioners. 1t is pro-
vided thai at the first election there
shall be chosen one president n
our commissioners; that each voter
shall be entitled to cast one vote for
the president, and as many votes for
commissioners as there are commits
sioners to be elected. His votes for
commissioner may be distributed as
he pleases, so hat at the first election,
when there are four. commissioners
to be elected, the vote- may cast our
votes for four separate persons, ~. all
four for one person., or three and
one, two and two, or two, one and
one. p
This is the cumulative form of vot-

tons. its purpose being to insure to
minorities of considerable size repre-
sensations on the board of the minori-
ty stockholders choose to "plump"
their votes for one candidate upon
whom they have agreed in advance.
Occasionally it has been employed in
municipal elections, but it docs not
appear to have become very popular.
Notwithstanding that the provision
referred to is contained in the North
Dakota commission law, cumulative
voting may not now be employed in
any of our elections unless our SUD-
RENE court shall reverse a former rul-
ing on The subject. The question
in connection with the election
OF city commissioners in Minot shortly
after the law was enacted, and the
court ruled that while there was no
question as to the power Of the legis-
lature to provide for this form of vot-
Ing, h statute was not operative be-
cause it failed to provide the machin-
cry for its execution. That is the
situation as it stands. n if, in the
event that the new form of govern
ment has been legally adopted, any
Of our people wish to vote in the cum
ulative manner, they will have to get
an order from the supreme court
authorizing the use Of this method,

THE TWO TICKETS.

The people of the United States are
fortunate in the fact that in the
selection of the presidential and
vice-presidential candidates by the
two great parties men have been
chosen who are of high personal char
acter and sturdy Americans. And,
as a mater of fact, no other result
was to be expected. The millions of
men and women who constitute the
membership Of the two parties are,
in the main good citizens, and it
would be inconceivable for convent
ions representing them to choose
other than good citizens for the high
Offices to be filled.
Senator Harding and Governor
Coolidge have been widely discussed
since their nomination a short time
ago., and high tributes have been paid
TO both of them. The Democratic
ticket likewise. is one for which no
apologies need be presented on ac-
count of its personnel.
Governor Cox has yet to demonstrate
" IAC 1CdOcTSnlD Oh
Tilden or the personal force of
Cleveland. But the fact that the
people of Ohio, normally Republican.
have three times elected him to be
governor Of their state indicates the
possession of qualities which will
make him a worthy antagonist for
Senator Harding.
In the nomination Of MI. Roose-
welt for yi~ce-presdent there was
undoubtedly. in addition to recog-
milton Of the abilities Of a capable
man, The desire to capitalize the pres
tige Of . great name. That is le-
climate, IL Q done unfairly.

Il can#b be said that each approached its
work With complications of the most
perplexing q embarrassing nature

done the delegates would have con-
tinued b~alloting Indefinitely, or the
conventions would have adjourned
with their work undone.
Sometimes a convention has COM
promised on a candidate who was al
ready prominent figure in the proba-
bilities. Lincoln was a major candi-
date when the convention which first
nominated him met. and the support
ers OF other men o recognized in
him the strongest man in the field.
Garfield, on the other hand, was not
considered al all until we'll along in
the balloting. Cleveland had a strong
following before the supporters Of
other candidates began to flock to his
standard, while Parker was almost
unknown until the time of the conyen-
ton which nominated him.
OF cours there nave been "logical''
candidates, whose nomination was
forecast by the march Of events. Each
nomination for a second term may be
considered In the logical class, and
in most cases these nominations have
not been seriously contested. Taft'a
was the most conspicuous exception In
recent years.
The nomination Of Mckinley in 1895
was the natural outgrowth Of the
events which preceded it.
Except in the comparatively rare
cases where q nomination has been
plainly indicated by e long before
a convention the selection Of a prcsi-
DENTAL candidate is necessarily the
work of compromise, and it is silly
for which it exists.
