Talk Farmers Elevator
for WestpOrt People
Meeting Held Here Last Tuesday
Night-Other Speakers to
Campaign Here Soon

A meeting of farmers residing in
and near the village of Westport was
held at the Modern Woodman hall
last Tuesday night
The purpose of this meeting was
to discuss organization of a West
port Equity Local, the object being
to establish in this village, a farm
ers' elevator. -
Mr.. Doran, an Equity organizer
was the speaker of the evening. Mr..
Doran had charge of the Westport
gathering, attempted to secure the
speaking services Of one or two the
state officers of the Equity, but fail
ing in this he decided to person
ally, place the facts and purposes OF
the society before the people of
Westport.
According to Mr.. Doran the ex-
pense of establishing an elevator
here would be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. He had no authority tc
authorize the promise of an elevator
at this point, but merely put the mat
ter before the farmers for their con-
sideration.
Another meeting will be held with
in the next few weeks at which a
state officer of the Equity Society
will be present and when the farmers
will decide fully in the matter.

Politics Not Bothering Ladies Here
No League" in Process
of Formation

Politics, andr the great franchise
granted to the women of the nation,
have but little interest for the good
women of the village of Westport.
i To-, date, no effort has been made
here to organize local branch OF
the League of Women Voters and
if the present situation is a criter-
ian, the vote polled by the women Of
Westport will be small this fall.
"The women are not showing any
particular interest in !, politics. said
one Westport lady Monday @They
are too busy with other matters to
study the issues"
But there are few in the village
to think. otherwise of this matter,
and it is possible that within the
next week or. two, steps will be TAXI
en- here to organize the women in the
league. M
No politicians Of any party, have
yet, made, Westport port of call.
Even the candidates on the state
ticket have fought shy of the village,
and although the rank and file of the,
male voters. seem to favor the Re-
publican national candidate, Senator
Harding, the Question of the state
ticket is, not discussed. The ten
dency however, among the business
men, leans toward "Jake" Preus, the
Republican candidate.
