DEMOCRATS JUBILANT
AS CAMPAIGN STARTS

pressed in greatly increased demo
cratic strength.
1T is particularly significant that
in the rock-rlbbed republican state
of Maine, where the democrats lost
in 1882, this year they won by a ma
jority that indicates a turnover of
approximately 10000 votes.
In our own beloved state this
same trend was evidenced by the
vote cast at the primary election last
July when thousands of voters
swung from the republican ticket to
the democratic to the extent that the
results were overwhelmingly demo
cratic. 70
"The extent of this switch is
brought out to startling degree
through a comparison with the 1884
vote with that of the vote at the
last pervious off-year election in
1880, in the case Of every office In
volyed. This switch Is brought out
in a striking manner in the vote for
congressional nominations In the
Second district. Where in 1880 the
one democratic candidate polled but
10000 votes as against 44,539 for the
republican entry, a republican lead
OF almosts4h to |, this year that lead
was not only wiped out but the sole
democratic candidate received 1854
votes against the combined vote Of
32,256 for the three republican con
testants.
Il am sure that this trend has
been accentuated in the few months
that have interviewed, and, with the
strong state ticket we have before
the voters, that all candidates there
on will be elected by overwhelming
majorities.
1T is with the idea Of making our
victory all the more complete
through the enlisting OF additional
thousands of progressive voters un-
der our banner that we are going
into this campaign with a determin-
alton to roll up the greatest demo
cratic vote ever cast In the common
wealth. We shall carry on a clean
campaign, will refrain from mud.
Singing, and will endeavor to pre-
sent the vital issues in a clear-cut
manner"

ODD GUN DISPLAY
IS Big ATTRACTION

The antique gun display at the
Peterson Company hardware store
is creating considerable interest.
During the past week more old wea-
pons have been added to the already
big collection.
One would hardly believe that so
many old pieces were still in exist
ance. One view of the attractive
display will fully convince you that
firearms, as other heirlooms, are
priced possessions.
Additional guns and weapons add
ed to the display include a shot gun
manufactured in 1875, entered by
FRANKIE Jones of PlentyWood.
A. R Sell of Homestead has on
display an English Bayonet, used
during the Boer war and a Spring
field model army rifle and bayonet
manufactured in 1878. An 1873
Stevens army rifle has been entered
by Vernon Michels.
Irwin Peterson has a Spencer re.
peating rifle made in 1860 in the col
lection. An 1845 Peters Muzzle
Loader pistol has been entered by
Elmer Nickerson.
A gun brought to Plentywood by
Chris Mikkelson of Comertown and
IN the display is proving quite an
attraction. The gun, which Is a 80
calibre rifle was used In the Indian
Massacre at Spirit Lake, Iowa, In
1912. 1t was later unearthed 80
miles west Of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Centered in the window is a 1884
air rifle, which, according to a card
was "allegedly" used by David Il
Jonathon In the 18th century.

HIGH SCHOOL team.
TAKES DRUB BING

The Plentywood high school foot
ball eleven took a severe drubbing at
the hand OF Crosby Saturday at the
North Dakota city. The final whistle
showed Crosby on the end of a 40 to
0 count.
Crosby presented a well coached
offense that proved too strong for
the Wildcats. Crosby made four
touchdOwns In the first half, n In
the third quarter and were held
scoreless In the last stanza.
Crosby scored on the opening
kickoff on a questionable ruling of
officials, the ball being kicked into
the end zone, raj recovered by q
Crosby player, and declared a touch
down.
Plentywood had possession of the
ball but once In the first half, while
the North Dakota team ran rampant
with an aerial attack and line bucks
that baffled the local team. An inter
cepted Plentywood pass, was con-
verified into a long run for a touch
down early In the game.
The Wildcats, who looked good
during last weeks practices, and
fresh from a victory over the Balm
vile eleven, crumpled completely
before the shifty North Dakotans.
First Home Game Saturday
Saturday brings the Bainville Bull
dogs to Plentywood for a return
game. The locals hold a Ia to 0 de-
cision over the main line eleven.
Coach Skor has made changes In
the Wildcat lineup this week, and 1t
is believed considerable improve
ment will be shown when the re-
modelled eleven take the gridiron for
the contest Saturday.

ATTORNEY WARNS
license EVADERS

The state examiners report to
Sheridan county, which is published
in this issue of the Herald calls at
tention to the fact that but one
Butchers license and one Dance
Hall license has been issued. Coun-
ty attorney Vernon Hoven in a let
ter directed to the Herald emphasiz-
es that any parties delinquent in Sc
curing licenses are requested to do
SO Immediately.
Attorney Hoven, quoting in the
words of the state examiner states
that Since our last examination
there has only been one Butchers IL
canse and Dance Hall license@is-
sued. The law provides that every
person doing a butchering business
shall procure In annual license, the
fee of which is five dollars, and that
these licenses shall run for the cal
endar year: it also provides for a
penalty for failure to procure such
license.
'"The law provides that any per-
son conducting a public dance shall
procure a license, that such license
shall be approved by the Board OF
County Commissioners before it is
issued and that the Board shall set
the fee for such license with certain
limitations. 1t Is not possible that
there Is only one butcher shop or
one dance hall operating in Sheridan
county.
1T is important that the law be
complied with in respect to the alb
owe licenses as both a protection to
the public and as a evenu measure,
as all the money collected through
licenses relieves the taxpayer Of that
much Of a burden on his property
taxes"
