The split in the Toxic cabinet has been healed,

Cabled advices indicate
First, Japan will demand that the principle Of
parity be recognized by the leading naval powers.
Second she will not at once insist upon building
up to parity with America and Britain, but will pro-
pose that gobal tonnage system be substituted for
the present scheme of limitation by categories.
This would give Japan free hand to build the

for the United States. At 20 cents

a prominent American missionary
served as an agent link in selling
munitions to the heather They
also have discovered close ties not
only between mysterious Sir Basil
Zaharoff and American munitions
firms, but also with the great
French munitions firm OF

claim to have unearthed an inter-

NEISSOURI'S ex-senator Harry

chairman of the exclusive Demo-

THE treasury is as mute as a
l. clam about its $2,000,000.000
sterilization fund, but some of the
younger executives, if questioned,
smile contentedly and hum Good
grief, how the money rolls in!"
Fact is that the canny manipula-
tions of young Henry Morgenthau
have given the fund show a very
handsome profit. Big Jim
Farley has changed his ghost
speech writer. For a few weeks,
Jims emanations struck a very
low note, portions of his addresses
bordering almost on illiteracy. His
latest speech, however, shows a
really improved tone, thanks, in
siders say, to the return from his
vacation of able Charley Michel
son, press chief of the Democratic

Gruening is a genuine medico, is
graduate of the Harvard medical

The two county commissioners,
Tango and Spoklie. did not make
much of a showing either, pulling
about 900 votes each. That 500
people voted the democratic ticket
and never voted for either looks
kind of bad. Three fourths Of the
people in the county did not vote
for our present commissioners.
Probably they realize by this time
that being appointed is one thing
and being elected something else.
The votes show that these men
have no. gained in popularity since
they were appointed.

Democrats in sweeping vic
tory" "big landslide" and an
"open endorsement of President
Roosevelt and the national admin
stration" is what Harry Polk calls
the result of the primary election
on July II, in the Plentywood Her
aid.
When our North Dakota political
schemer is trying to make people
believe that his trick of stealing
the Democratic ticket turned out
to be a victory" and a Gland
Slide, he is only misleading the
people as be has done so often be-
fore.
What happened on July II, was
no surprise to anybody. There
were three tickets in the field and
each one nominated SET of candi-
dates ready to &c to bat for the
final election. Everything worked
normal and not one person was
nominated Unexpectedly.
In Sheridan county there was no
landslide. The fact is that nearly
half of our registered voters did
not take the trouble to vote. They
were not interested. They could
not find anything worth while vot-
ing for on the two old tickets, and
on the Communist ticket there was
not supposed to be any competition
When half of the people don't
vote there cannot be landslide.
That most of the people voted
the Democratic ticket was only
what everybody had expected. 1t
was no "open endorsement" Of any
president or anything of the kind.
1t was simply because office seek
ers and political floppers Of all de-
scriptions had filed on that ticket
at the time Harry Polk fooled
them by telling there was going
to be but one ticket. That made
more compe' ition and naturally
more votes. Many people were
voting the Democratic ticket who
are never going to vote it again.
Out of 3697 registered voters in
the county 1913 voted for candi-
dates for sheriff. 1891 voted the
Democratic and 410 Republican
ticket. The man who received the
highest number of votes. 1914, re-
ceived less than 3S per cent of the
registered votes-2485 did not vote
for him.
For state senator, Goodman had
withdrawn and the fight was be-
tween Faaborg and Iceland. The
votes in the southern part of the
county plainly show that they did
not want Faaborg. Of the two
evils they preferred LELAND and
gave him 646, only II per cent OF
the votes in the county, with 3051
not voting for him. Gf ESQ.
Of the four candidates for State
representative nobody cared much
which two were nominated and the
votes run fairly even.
The fight people were most in
teres. ed in were Hans Madsen fol
sheriff and Niels Madsen for clerk
and recorder. Hans Madsen was
victorious, but there surely was
nothing to brag about. Out of the
194S votes cas- for sheriff. Madser
received only 6S6, less than one
third Of the votes cast. and only II
per cent Of the total registered
votes IN the county. Over sos
people did not vote for Madsen.
Niels Madsen did a little better
by pulling 800 votes, amounting Il
% per cent Of the registered votes
