The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-04-20

I'll
telling how they never did like
Frazier, and didn't see how anybody
could vote for him anyway, That is
providing Frazier is not nominated.
Of course if he does receive enough
votes to get his name on the ticket
these men will ride the fence. We
notice a prominent Barnes county Of
ficial's name in the list this morning.
Reports received by Lew Wallace,
Jr., Director Of Savings, Treasury
Department, show that Treasury Say
ings Certificates to the amount of
$13,377,4 24 were sold during the
month of March. This is the largest
sale Of any month since the certifi-
Gates were offered, and Director Wal
lace attributes the increased demand
to the fact that the people are begin
ming to realize that the certificates
are a highly attractive investment.
While these certificates were design
ed particularly for the small investor
many investors are buying the limit
allowed, $4,000 for the year. The
certificates bear interest at the rate
of 4 IL percent compounded semi
annually and mature five years from
date Of issue. Being issued'in denom-
nations of $25, 500, and $1,000 ma
turity value, costing $40, $50, and
$500, the Treasury has provided a Sc
curity to fit any pocketbook.
Senator McCumber is making bid
for the nomination at the jamestown
convention but intimates that he will
not abide by the decision Of that con-
vention if he should not be the en-
dorsee. We cannot see why he or
anyone else is going into that conven-
ton if he will not abide with the de-
cision Of that body. The convention
is a sort of elimination affair to cope
against the league and to try and
elect the strongest man to the senate
by a united independent party and
the strongest man will be the one the
convention endorses. 1t will be a
very representative gathering, proba-
bly, five or six hundred delegates
being present from all over the state,
which said delegates should reflect
very strongly the sentiment of the
various localities in which they live.
If McCumber or any other candidate
goes deliberately into a convention he
should abide by the majority wishes
of it. and if defeated should graceful
ly submit and get behind the success
full candidate and help put him over.
This is no time for sulking but time
to unite against the common enemy
for the public good.
1t is only about six weeks until it
will be time for Valley City to- enter
tain the U. C. 7. bunch of good asy1-
lows who are coming here strong d
the days of June 8, 9 and 10. III
view of. this fact let us ginger up a
little and make preparations to give
the boys the time of their lives. There
is much work to be done in organiza-
ton, preparation of programs, etc.,
for these days, and now is the time
to get things moving. Do not put
off until the last few days the ar
rangements for this big convention
the biggest one that will ever come
to this city-but get busy right now
and do things. We want to have those
boys leave this town with song of
praise on their lips for Valley City
and word of cheer for US at every
point they go. The travelling men
can do more to boost town than
practically every other agency and if
we make good with them in June
they will make good with us all the
time. Let us start things moving to
give them the best time of their
lives and now is the time to prepare.
Preparedness is the great bulwark of
ccess. Two thousand travelling
en- will visit this city on those three
VS. in June and the town will want
see to it that they did not come in
in-when it comes down to show
.e,g them a real good time.
The senatorial fight is waxing
warm around the state. Dispatches
from Bismarck state that efforts are
