ANNE MARTINS
ELECTION LIKELY

The indications now are that Nevada
will elect the first woman and the first
[ndcpendent to the U. S. Senate And
these are the signs which point to this
result:
A majority of Nevada people are
dissatisfied with both old parties.
They know that big business controls
both Democratic and Republican par
les and wrote both party platforms in
the interests OF the money power.
They know that neither Oddie nor
henderson, pledged as they are to
these platforms, can do anything FOR
THE PEOPLE They see both can
didates are committed to interests
which exploit the people. These voters
are turning to me, the Indepndent cam
didate, free from big business control
and pledged to fight the profiteers to
lower the cost of living.
The iiear is now expressed by Oddie
supporters that | am drawing so
heavily from Republican votes as to
defeat Mr.. Oddie. Henderson sup
porters fear am drawing so heavily
from Democratic votes as to defeat
Mr.. Henderson, Both are right. am
drawing so heavily from the two party
candidates that | will defeat them both
Republican votes for me are not votes
for Henderson" Democratic votes
jor me are not votes for Oddic
fhcy are not votes thrown away
They are votes for me and the prin-
ciples for which stand. These Demo
cratic and Republican votes, combined
with the big independent vote of the
state, arc going to elect me.
Women are supporting me. They
want woman senator to fight Hor
government care of maternity and in
fancy, for women aud children whose
needs are neglected by our Congress
of men.
Labor is supporting me- The Sparks
Federation OF Labor, the largest labor
organization in the state. has endorsed
my platform and pledged to make
every effort to win my election. The
Ely Central Labor Council has taken
the same action Pledges of support
rom voters throughout the state are
daily received at my headquarters.
Don't waste YOUR vote on party
candidate for the Senate, who can only
work AGAINST YOU and for big
work AGAINST YOU and for BIG
BUSINESS if he gets there. Vote for
he woman Independent. It's vote
for yourself and your children. Pile
up big vote for her.

Shepherd Recital Fills Auditorium,

The song recital given Tuesday ev-
ening at the high school auditorium
under the auspices Of the Minot Drug
Co., drew one Of the largest houses
ever assembled in the auditorium. For
two hours Miss Betsy Lane Shepherd
celebrated soprano and her assistant.
Adriene Friesche, distinguished violin
list, entertained the hundreds assem-
bled with renditions accompanied by
an Edison monograph. The object
being to distinguish, if possible. any
contrast between the recreated rendi-
ton as given by the monograph from
the actual singing or playing of the
artist. The illusion was perfect,
many being unable to detect when the
artist was silent and the machine in
action. This was one of the most
interesting as well as enjoyable re-
citals that have been given here in
years and much credit is due the Mi
not Drug Co. for securing talent of
such high calibre with which to prove
to the public that the Edison phono-
graph actually re-creates either the
human voice or any musical instru-
ment with absolute accuracy both as
to tonal qualities and infection. Hun
dreds were turned away from the
doors at Tuesday evenings recital. the
seating capacity being inadequate to
accommodate the immense number
seeking admission.

ABOUT THE BANK or NORTH
DAKOTA

The Ward County Farmers Press
Of October Z. has a long article in
answer to our editorial OF the week
before. in which the League editor
freely uses such expressions as hog
wash. "wrcckers", inward yellow
ness" etc. The Independent. does not
propose to, enter upon contest of
abuse with the Farmers Press, but
will leave them monopoly Of that
kind Of lighting, We have noticed
IN rather long career AS newspaper
men tina. the fellow who calls names
Us apt 70 do il because he has no
ether arguments ia offer. and we don't
care to be in that class.
Answering our statement that the
Bank Of North Dakota has had large
funds on acposi. outside the state, the
Press editor. after calling our state
mcnt a lie. publishes the report Of the
bank dated Sept, Is. showing SASe,
SSS,SS due from banks outside ths
state. We presume this statement i
true. We do not know whether It is
ar not. having only the banks state

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-10-14

The Independent regrets that every
businessman of Minot didn't get out
to see the exhibits at the Corn and
Potato Show. This is revelation.
1t is generally known that corn and
potatoes can be grown in Ward coun-
ty, but one will perhaps never have q
finer opportunity to see the splendid
quality that our soil can produce out
side of a show of this kind Its an
exhibit that would make the mouths
of New Eanglander or an Iowan
water, with his $500 an acre land.
Who says that our soil isn't worth a
paltry 500 an acre? Keep up this
gait and we'll soon command the price
and more.
