I hnreb.V announce that I am a candidate for the nomination for representative of the 72nd repre sentative district on the democratic tic ticket at the primary election to beheld April 19 , 1912. W. M. UAIIXAX. It looks like Taft will win the nomination. We'll bet a bushel of spuds that he'll be nominated and five bushels of spuds that he'll be defeated at election if Guv. Judson Harmon of Ohio is the democratic nominee. DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY. The democrats-can win this year if they will get out a few more candidates to split up the vote. Sic Bryan onto each one as he gets into the lead , to keep them .even until they come under the line and then accuse each of being lined up with the trusts and Wall street. W. J. Byran will be given an other birthday party March 19 , at Lincoln. Prominent speakers are to be there and a progresshe conference is to be held during the afternoon , in which we suppose Richard L. Metcalfe will figure largely as a candidate for govern or. Tickets are a dollar for a ride in the Bryan-Metcalfe band wag on. Ever.\ body go. We are for John II Morehead for governor and we'll ask to be excused. U. S. SENATOR Who do you want for U. ? , senator ? W. H. Thompson of Grand Island , Willis E. ReeH of 'Madison and ex-G < > v.

Should he succeed in being elected he will be the big man in the republican party , carrying more power than any president has yet wielded , be came of his radical tendencies to ward wealthy and powerful mo nopolies in his present adminis tration , in which he has been bit terly assailed by the progressive , or insurgents , of his own party. If he wins out over their protest it will be taken as a vindication of his past policies , and no doubt his advisors and his beneficiaries will keep that fact eternally before him , with the result that no modi fication of tariff laws may be ex pected , but , rather , he will favor farther advances should such be demanded of him. All the con troversies between him and pro gressive leaders during the past three years , in which the people seemed to get the worst of it , will then have been settled in Taft's favor. " "Vindicated at the polls , " will be the cry , and Taft can fire the Pinchot and Hitchcock traitors out of his party regime who dare to raise a voice in the interest of the people. , 0 the other haiid , if Roosevelt should win the nomination , Taft will bp down and out as an easily whipped and inefficient candidate and the people will be vindicated in their denunciation of Taft polices. "The best tariff bill that was ev er passed , " will thjn be * properly denounced and Mr. Taft will have to revise his former revision , ad mitting that "it was not good it was bad but the best we could do. " to "the worst tariff bill 'the r j'ubHcan party ever passed , " ergo go down in history as a tool of the interests and monopolies. Then about Roosevelt , should he receive the nomination it is not iikoly that he could be elected as a third tprmpr , and especially in view of his past record and utter ances , lie would have a large following of the progressives but would be bitterly fought by a portion of the Taft following which would also be the case re versely if Taft were the nominee. But in the latter case the progress ive republicans will have lined up for the fight four years hence by defeating Taft , and will under a progressive leader make a nard contest for the presidency , should not democracy relieve and give the p > ople a sound business and demo cratic administration.

Pursuant to a call of Merrimau Camp of AI. W. A. , for a county convention , delegates were sent from the Valentine and Crookston camps and met Saturday at Merri- man to discuss the recent raise in Woodmen rates. The meeting was called to order by E B. Quible , V. C. , of the Merriman camp. Max E. Viertel of Crookston was elected chair man , and I. M. Kice , secretary. Mr , Quible spoke on his ex perience as delegate to the Chicago convention. Speaker after speaker were in troduced in succession to speak in favor of the raise in rates , until , in exasperation , the delegates re fused to listen longer , when a speaker came out with what seem ed to be a several hour speech , from the pile of paper which he laid upon the desk before him , and , then , when the vote came , a steam roller ran over them , and it was done before they knew what the result would be. Mr. Quible was opposed to se ceding from the head camp , but was also opposed to the high rates and voted 'against ' them. He fav ors the Minneapolis injunction movement restraining the head camp from j-u'ting the raise into effect. He stated that it was arg ued from the rostrum , that the old members , having enjoyed the protection during their youth could afford to drop out if the rates were too high for them , and t' at with the young members stay ing in because of low rates would put the order in good condition. Mr. Quible thought that during the next 25 years the company will experience as heavy death rate a * at any time in its history. He read Talbot's letter regarding the Hastings' call and secession movement ) and said he didn't want to do anything that would cause t-ie ! loss of the lodge's charter be cause of some old members who were now unable to secure other insurance. That the M. W. A. is mw 29 years old and had two members now 85 years old. Tiiat one of the actuaries stated , we are not broke by a long way and that at the present rates and conditions we might safely run on for 25 years , though presented the new raise in rates providing for a reserve fund which will pile up millions of dollars. Air. Larson thought with a sur plus now of $7,000,000 and only eleven assessments the past year fie raise was not justified. He ctiled attention to the lapsed cer tificates which would help to offset t ie deficiency of assessments to piyouta policy , and thinks the high rates will keep the old raem- brs in because they are unable to git other insurance and drive out the young and robust fellows who cm do better elsewhere , and that t ie company would suffer by the exorbitant raise and they were not j istified. M. 0. Aletzger was opposed to t ie rates and the attempt to crowd o it old men who were unable to piv the increased rates. That our old men and old members were e Hilled to some respect. Uras willing to stand aa increase of rates but not this exorbitant doub ling up and thribbling the former rates. Called attention to the 90 camps in the state shown in a circular , showing a deficiency of v * piyment to that received in death claims , and thought each member pays in about half at present rates what he expects to receive , but aimitted that lapsed certificates was something of an offset in which we were beuefitted but did nit want to take ad vantage of o \ \ men who would now becrowd- e 1 out by excessive rates. - Arthur Bo wring was willing to stand a reasonable 'raisein rates bat not a 300 per cent raise. That t ie shortage. shown -in the 90 de. linquent cam"in the state was only about 25 per cent.
