gave us his unremitting personal at
tention, helped us in every way In the
hearings and in the preparation Of
statements, and championed our cause
in the most able way in committee and
on the floor of the Senate. AS men,
Ter of the Finance Committee of the
Senate, before which committee the
.ong reciprocity hearings were held,
ne gave US assistance and support
which were invaluable. On the floor
of the Senate the strongest, most
thorough and convincing speeches
were made by him against it and, at
ter doing his utmost to bring about
the abandonment or defeat Of the re-
ciprocity measure, he voted against
it and, after doing his utmost to bring
about the abandonment or defeat of
the reciprocity measure, he voted
against it and has never ceased to
use his influence and ability to pre-
vent the revival Of any such measure.
In fact, in all the affairs with which
he has. dealt during his long service
in the Senate, Senator McCumber has
always shown a thorough knowledge
of the agricultural industry and what
it needs, and has always worked and
fought for every matter that would
advance the welfare of our great fun
damental industry or improve the con-
dition Of the people engaged in it. l
have been impressed with the fact that
bis career, which has now brought to
him the craftsmanship Of the Finance
Committee, is a record of steadfast
and exceptionally able service to the
farmers and to the masses of his fell
low citizens in all sections of the coun-
try.
The farmers east of the MISSISSIPPI
pi well understand the extraordinary
value to their industry of having Ec-
nator McCumber continue to be the
Chairman Of the Finance Committee
Of the Senate. The eastern farmers
know the far-reaching Importance of
this Craftsmanship, which for SO many
years was held by men who, whatever
their personal character and abilities
had nevertheless not been engaged in
farming, and had not spent their lives
in agricultural communities, and SO
could not possibly have such special
knowledge and sympathy concerning
agricultural affairs. All the people
of North Dakota now share in the adj
vantages which their state enjoys in
the possession Of their craftsmanship.
I know that if Senator McCumber
.rere candidate for election in any
eastern state, the farmers would be
found voting for him practically to a
man. All Of these farmers know that
our great problems must be dealt with
now and in the future with more re-
gard to the welfare of the real pro-
ducers and with less regard to what
may be the wishes of great financial
interest. And cannot doubt that the
people of North Dakota, that great
agricultural state, will keep chairman
fIcCumber in the Senate and main
tain for the farmers there and every
where, and for the general welfare,
his high official position and influence.
Yours very truly,
.Nohum J. Bachelor.

June l, 1922.
Editor Ward County Independent,
Minot, N. d.
Sir:
| have noticed recently certain Sig
nificant comments in New York news
papers concerning the approaching
election of United States Senator in
North Dakota and the candidacy Of
Senator McCmmber, now Chairman of
Che Committee on Finance, for re-
election to the Senate. These New
York newspapers have a fiendly at
titude toward the interests of very
powerful banking and commercial Or
CARNATIONS, and when the expressions
in these metropolitan newspapers in
dictate a desire on their part that the
present Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee should not be reelected to the
Senate, it is, in my opinion, of urgent
Importance to the farmers of the
United States to consider what is in
voved in the campaign in North Da-
kota; and, as one who has been called
to work in the interests Of agricul-
culture and the agricultural people of
the country, l. would like to say a
word concerning Senator McCumber
and what his service and position in
the Senate mean to the farmers and
all the laborious and genuinely pro-
ductive workers in the United States.
1t happened that | came into per-
Sonal contact with Senator McCunlber
and his work in the Senate at a time
when | was serving as Master of the
National Grange. AS such l was
chairman of the Legislative committee
of that great organization, and it be-
J,,t, +n tol- ,1+i1,o VT
in representing and voicng the oppo-
.sition of the National Grange and, in
fact, of practically all the farmers of
the United States, to the proposed re-
ciprocity treaty with Canada which was
pending at that time. The then Repub-
lcan Administration at Washington,
through consideration which in later
years were recognized to have been
mistaken ones, was strongly urging
the passage by Congress of the bill
to establish the provisions of this re-
ciprocity treaty, and other powerful
forces were working to the same end.
1t required no small amount of
courage and public spirit in Senator
at Washington to stand in opposition
to the Administration of his party
and fight the battles of the farmers,
but this is just what Senator McCum-
Der did, and with great ability and
effectiveness.
In all the work of opposition to this
measure-from start to fnish-no
other Senator and no one gave US
more whole-hearted, capable and tire
less help and encouragement than
Senator McCumber. l took part in
committee hearings, in the prepara-
ton and presentation Of arguments
and protests, and in appeals to public
opinion through the press and other
wise. In every feature of our work
we had the active and spontaneous as
sistance of Senator McCumber. In
fact, in all fairness he could be called
the real leader of the farmers cause
among the Senators. He made his Of

Preparations for developing tho
grounds for the Ward County Fair
east Of Minot are now underway, and
in short time it is expected that ac-
tive building operations will be in pro-
gress there. Formal application for
a side track was made this week by
the fair officials thru Div. Supt. r. A.
NcCand,ess and early action by the
Great Northern Ry. is anticipated.
The company has large crews and out
fits Of apparatus in this region en-
gagged in Improvement work.
County Surveyor E. J. Thomas has
'sketched proposed spur loco feet in
length. A considerable fill Of the G.
n. right Of way will be nee ssary and
MIR. Thomas estimates that about
$50 yards of filing will he needed
The engineers are expected to make
a survey and estimate this week. An
unloading platform on the fair grounds
is to be erected beside the new spur
tack and goods and passengers can
be discharged directly at the fair.
This will be Of advantage also when
stock SHOWS and sales, tractor and
other machinery shows and various
Gatherings are held on the fairgrounds
= cther seasons of the year.
Architect Ira L. Rush is busy get
Ing cut the plans fer the stock barn
and exhibition building and these will

a few days. The plans for the grand
s. nd and race track will also arrive
frcnl the offices CT Pearse, Robinson
& Spragre landscape architects of
Des Moines, Ia, who are cooperating
with Mr.. Rush in laying out the
grounds, this week. Bids are to be
opened in the near future and then
construction work will be rushed with
all speed. A good sized company Of
men will find employment at the fair
grounds this summer as the necessity
of speed in completing the buildings,
race track and fence will result in
extra efforts being made to complete
the work on time.
Stock men and others are taking a
noteworthy interest in the Ward Coun-
ty Fair and declaring their intention
of entering exhibits. 1t is expected
that a splendid array Of stock along
all lines will be shown and that visit
ors will come from long distances.
The fair coming in September this
year will enable farmers to enter ex-
hibits of this years agricultural pro-
ducts and this feature is to be pro-

likely the fair will be set at earlier
dates-probab in July which is the
