ped into the political ring shortly
after that of William Gibbs McAdoo,
whose friends let it be known that
they intended to support him for

ton.
Senator johnson launched his
boom after a conference here with
party political leaders. who favor
his candidacy in which he assailed
the present policies, in domestic and
national affairs and enunciated the
principles upon which his race will
be made. He expressed unequivocal
opposition to the League of Nations
"and all it's subsidiaries, including
the World Court" and set himself up
as the "progressive' candidate in
contrast to the ultra conservative"
and ultra radical"
Senator Johnson said "the ensuing
contest will determine whether the
Republican party shall be the per-
manent instrument of reaction or
whether it shall respond to present
day conditions and aspirations"
In tossing his hat into the presi-

COWS, CORN AND HOGS BRING
SUCCESS TO BURLEICH FARMER

His children were all small when
he came to North Dakota and the
problem of their education has been
a pressing one. At the present time
he owns his land free from encum-
brance, has about SO head of cattle,
6 horses, all of the machinery which
is necessary for the farming opera
tions of his land and is entirely out
of debt. All this has been accom-
plished in the last nine years from
the proceeds of his farm, as a result
Of hard work, caution and not get
ting into debt and intensive rather
than extensive farming methods.
He has followed carefully what he
thinks are the three royal roads to
success in North Dakota, cows; hogs
and corn. Mr.. Doppler says that
North Dakota is certainly the coun-
try in which poor man can get a
start more easily and quicker than
any other State of which he knows
and he is convinced that this can be
accomplished best by employing the
methods of farming for which the
country is best adapted, those of
diversified crop and stock raising.
Mr.. Doppler after careful investi-
CATION last summer, joined the local
dairy circuit which he believes is the
proper method for the dairy man of
this vicinity to employ in order to
make progress. He is we'll pleased
with the results thus far achieved by
the circuit and says that the
methods employed are of value to
any one who is milking cows.
