World Court Vote Defeated Him
Senator McKinley's vote for Amer
lean adherence to the World Court
was made the chief issue of Colonel
Smiths campaign and the latter's
aides attributed his victory to- his
stand against the measure. 1t was
the first opportunity voters have had
to register their feeling toward the
proposal since anti-WOrld Court for
ces started their campaign to defeat
senators who voted for adherence.
Sen. Borah came into Illinois and
campaigned against Mckinley soon
after the world court vote was taken
in the Senate. He stated he would
speak against every Senator who vet
ed for the world court when they
come up for election. Wheeler was
the only progressive in the Senate
who voted for the Court and will come
up fer election in Montana two years
from now.
Big Blow to Morgan Senators
The defeat of Mckinley, who was
a strong man, sounds the death knell
of the. World Court, and is looked
upon as leading to the defeat of ev-
cry Senator who voted for it. Len
root, who is up for election in Wis
cOnsin and who voted with Mckinley
and Wheeler for the world court, is
expected to be defeated in the

Seeding Now General


According to County Agent Ostby
seeding started in the southern end
of the county earlier. The frost did
not go out until last Friday. Sever
al parties told the County agent
that they tried to plow last Saturday
but were unable to do. On account
of the better weather this week they
can now plOw in all sections of the
county. However seeding is now the
kind of farm work that holds the
center of attention. Much of this
seeding is done on summer fallow
The soil is in excellent shape. The
roads are good in all parts of the
county. While the seeding is mostly
wheat some oats is being planted.
+ This is done for the purpose of get
/ ting early feed for horses.
Summer FaIlOwed Ground First.
1t is expected that the greater
part of the prepared ground will be
seeded this week but much seeding
will be done in spring plowed land
yet. In the opinion Of County Agent
Ostby most of the seeding of wheat
will be finished about the end of the
first week in May and then people
will start putting in flax. Indica-
tiOns now point to the fact that the
seeding will be finished earlier this
year than at any time in the history
of the county. There will be an in
crease in the amount sown also.
