CHOICE OF COMMISSIONER
NOW UP TO VOTERS

When the battle of ballots is
over next Tuesday we will know
whether the commissioner from this
district for the next four years will
be from this part of the district or
from Benton City. For when all's
said and done, that is the big ques-
tion. Voters may differ over the
qualifications of the candidates.
There might be arguments both
ways. But it might be we'll to re-
member that during his term of
two years as county commissioner,
Sam Allard, with the other two
members of the board, has reduced
! the taxes in this county $50, 900
and while doing so has raised the
. county to sixth place in financial
standing in the state; and that the
present board is today rated. with
! all the concerns with which it does
business. as one of the most econ.
omical and business-like boards IN
the state. There is nothing In
Robert Prior's record, either pri-
vate or public. that would indicate
that he would make better COM
missioner than Sam Allard, if as
good-the extravagant claims Of a
noisy press agent to the contrary
notwithstanding.
But admitting that their qualifi.
cations are on an equal basis, what
will the average voter do? Gener-
ally. in such a case. he will consid-
er his own selfish interests; and so,
when the voter from this part of
the district goes to the polls next
Tuesday, he will probably ask him
self this question, "Will the inter-
ests of the Priest Rapids valley be
looked after better for the next
four years by Sam Allard or DR..
Plior?" and vote accordingly.
Benton City is sparing no effort
or expense in trying to elect DR..
Prior. And why should they?
That is a perfectly laudable ambi-
tion-you can't blame them for
that. They no doubt feel that if
they can elect commissioner from
their part Of the district that they
will have gained an advantage over
the rest of the district. The mon
ey they are spending and the effort
they are making does not justify
any other conclusion.
Will they be able to realize their
ambition? The answer is in the
hands of the voters. for ~they are
the court of final appeal. And fig
uring out what that answer may
be, tits interesting to know that
the bettors in Prosser and Kenne-
wick are making Sam Allard a
strong fayorite.

CHILDREN GAIN IN WEIGHT

According to summary of the nu-
triton work done in the White Bluffs
grade school under the supervision Of
the Women's Club for the past 1e
months, in January, 1923, of 81 child
rem in the grade school 40 were un-
der weight and in October, 1924, Of
81 children in the grade school, only
10 were under weight.
Nine children who were from 10
per cent to 81 per cent under weight
in January, 1923, have gained remark
ably. One who was 10 per cent un-
der is now one-half pound over the
average. Another who was 13 pei
cent under weight now just lacks
three-quarters of a pound of the aver.
age. The others lhave either cut the
percentage in half or lack just 6
few pounds.
Miss Monica Weber, county nurse
says that White Bluffs has the best
record in health work of any town
in the county and she feels that the
nutrition work begun by the women
has had good results.

MOULTON and GARDNER
MAKE INTERESTING TALKS

A fair sized audience at the re
publican rally in Liberty hall OF
Wednesday evening heard two very
interesting talks by A. R. Gardner
and M. M. Moulton of Kennewlck
Mr.. Gardner discussed some OF
the national issues and paid high
tribute to Calvin Coolidge for his
honesty. integrity end courage in
administering his duties as pres.
Ident of the United States in the
little over a year that he has held
that office. The speaker also called
attention to the fact that in spite
of the pessimistic talk that has
been heard throughout the cam
paigp, this is pretty good old
country to live in after all. For
with only FIVE per cent of the popu-
lation of the world, the United
States leads by an overwhelming
percentage in the production of
practically all Of the essentials of
life; the standard of living. he
said, is higher. wages are higher
and taxes proportionately lower
than under any other organized
government in the world. Mr..
Gardner campaiRned the state be.
fore the primaries for Coz. Hartley,
republican candidate for governor,
and he said that he knew Col.
Hartley held the soldier settlement
in this valley to be a sacred obliga-
tion Of the state, and il elected
governor would do everything in
his power to carry it through to a
successful conclusion.
Mr.. Moulton. who is candidate
for his third term as representa-.
tive of Benton county in the legis-
Iature, arrived late from the Han
ford meeting but he jumped right
into his subject. Mr.. Moulton is
q rapid fire talker and there were
several at the meeting who said his
was the best political speech they
ever heard. He paralyzed tie
Bone Bill, figuratively speaking,
and declared II voted against it in
the last legislature and if lived to
be 100 years old / would vote
against it at every opportunity, be-
cause if it were to become law
it would be one Of the most vicious
pieces of legislation ever enacted.
by giving Seattle a strangle hold
on the power industry Of the
state" and then proceeded to ex-
plain some of the bad features of
the bill. He also touched on some
of the national issues, particularly
the proposition Of limiting the I'm.
tied States Supreme Court on con-
stitutional questions. He said that
in the 1876 years of existence of this
government, only AZ laws had been
declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme court and that he had yet
to find person. who could show
that he had been injured by the
failure of any of these laws to
live. He also spoke briefly of his
own candidacy and closed by urg-
ing everybody to go to the polls
next Tuesday and t. vote his hon.
est convictions. whatever they may
be. uncolored by any ones influ-
ence.

Also on Ballot

Indianapolis, May 6.-(By the A.
PD-Indiana's state wide primary
election, which has afforded Hoosier
political strategists an opportunity
to exercise their famous talents, is
in progress today with the voters
balloting for il wide field of candi-
dates.
State, Congressional and County
nominees are to be selected by both
parties and Republicans may express
preference for either President Cool
idge or Senator Johnson of Califor-
MIA as their party's presidential NOM
inee. No presidential candidate ap-
pears on the Democratic ballot.
Fourteen candidates are in the
gubernatorial contest-eight Demo-
Gratis and six Republicans. The In
diana primary law requires major
ity of all votes cast in order that a
candidate may be declared the party
nominee. Failure of any candidate
to secure majority leaves selection
of candidate to the state conven-
tion.
On the Republican side, Ed. Jack

Methods Discussed For Great.

and Its Businesses
EUGENE LIES SPEAKS

f., =. Young was elected president
of the Bismarck advertising Club
for the ensuing year at the annual
meeting held last night following a
dinner in the Frederick Cafe. Other
officers were chosen as follows ::
Vice President, +. J. Grady; Sccre-
tary-Treasurer, A. f. Bradley.
Secretary Bradley gave report
of the organization work during the
past year, and spoke of community
sales and methods Of bringing farm
ers and others in Bismarck territory
in closer touch with the business in
tcrests of the city. After several
experiences, he Informed the advcr-
tising men, il was evident that plans
must be adopted which would APP
ply in this community rather than
standard methods which have been
applied i'm other communities. Pres
dent Young, who succeeded c. r.
Simpson, the club s first president;
AL Sorenson and o. V. Bowman also
addressed the meeting, urging meth
ods be adopted to encourage closer
relations with, outlying districts,
some Of which the club will under
take but not divulge at this time.
Mrs. H. +. Keller and Mrs. j., II.
King made strong appeals for play
ground and recreation facilities in
the city and explained how Il volun-
tary organization is working now in
the city to this end.
Eugene 7. Lies, special represen-
tative of the Playground and Recre-
alton Association of America, ad-
dressed the meeting on the subject
of Fairgrounds and recreation cen
ters as community assets. He point
ed out how they aid in reducing de-
linquency and give an outlet for the
energies of young people, in the
right channels. He quoted autorities
to show that if young people were
not given some opportunity of a
healthy nature to express their emo
tions they would find way which is
not always conducive to their better
citizenship.
Mr.. Lies emphasized the fact that
Fairgrounds are the greatest assets a
city could have from publicity
standpoint. This applies not only to
the children, he said, but the par
ents as well, as it had been demon
strated that in many cities where
these facilities were lacking parents
desirous of bringing up their chill
dren in proper manner sought
other fields where children could en-
Joy themselves in a healthy, happy
manner He paid glowing tribute
to Bismarck, complimenting the
city on its splendid. business blocks
and beautiful homes and it's general
appearance of prosperity.

Situation Such That no Ex-

Yet Forthcoming
PREDICTION LACKING

The condition of A. G.. Sorlie Of
Grand Forks, Nonpartisan League
candidate for Governor, who was IL
jured in an automobile accident late
Saturday, continued to cause concern
to his friends here today although
the physicians bulletin issued to-
day indicated his condition was gem
orally unchanged. On the other hand
the condition of Roy Frazier, Cros-
by, member of the League state exc
cutive committee, who was injured
In the same accident north of Steele,
was regarded by friends as favor
able.
DR.. Z. p. Quain. in statement late
this morning. said:
"Mr. Sorlie showed signs Of in
creasing intracranial pressure late
yesterday afternoon. He had rest
less night. This morning he is some
what improved. No special measures
have as yet been required to over
come the intracranial pressure. Tenn
peraturc is two degrees above nor
NAL. Pulse rate is normal.
"Mr. Frazier had comfortable
night. He suffered from headache
but has no other untoward symp-
TOMS"
There still was reluctance upon the
part of physicians to make any pre-
diction as to the outcome in either
case, it being realized that with frac-
tured skulls symptoms might devel
op which would cause change in
their condition. There was some fear
expressed last night that leakage on
blood on the brain in the case of
Mr.. Sorlie might affect his condition
for the worse
Mrs. Frazier arrived here from
Crosby today to be with her husband,
while Mrs. Sorlie continued to re-
main at the hospital, and spent n.uch
time with her husband. The one son
Of the Fraziers, aged about II years,
was not called here, nor have other
members of Mr.. Sorlic's family been
summoned.
