WiWi PAGE TWELVE ^V:r I £ke £,?• A- THREE CANDIDATES FOR SENATE NET IN BISMARCK Bismarck, July 29.—By a strange coincidence, the three men who are oc cupying a large place in the public eye of the state as probable candi dates tor the United States senate, juet in Bismarck yesterday. Former governor, and the present United States treasurer, John Burke, paid Bismarck a brief visit on his way to Washington from the Pacific coast as wag also Porter J. McCumber, the sen ior senator of North Dakota, who is at present making an auto tour of the state in the interest of his candidacy for re-election. Governor Hanna was in the city and no little interest was aroused as to the relative strength of the three men as candidates for the United States senate. Senator McCumber is basing claims for re-election upon political fairness and long service. It is a well known fact that Senator McCumber supported Governor Hanna most vig orously during both his campaigns for governor and it is generally conceded Governor Burke's popularity has not that had the senior senator's political organization been thrown to the pro gressives in either the 1912 or 1914 campaigns they would have ended otherwise than they did. Senator Mc Cumber's frieds contend that when it is generally known over the state that this support was given Governor Han na with the distinct understanding that he would not become a candidate for the senate in opposition to Mc Cumber, that it will greatly impair his chance of nomination. Senator Mc Cumber's friends contend that by every rule of the political game he should receive the support of Hanna ta his campaign for re-election. Senator McCumber himself contends for his re-election upon the ground of usefulness. He is now the ranking re publican member of the great commit tee on foreign relations. On the re turn of the republican power there is little, if any, question but that Sena-' tor McCumber will become chairman •f the foreign relations committee—a position of influence and power onlyi seconded by that of speaker of the' house of representatives and the, presidency itself. He is also second •r third ranking republican on the' great committee on finance of the sen ate. Senator McCumber believes that the difference between no tariff and a I reasonable protection means from twenty to twenty-five millions of dol lars to the farmers of North Dakota. Tariff tiills are largely made by this committee. If re-elected, and the re publicans are returned to power, he will be in position to wield a mighty influence on behalf of the farmers of this state. In brief, Senator McCum ber contends that the election of eith er Hanna or Burke to the United States senate would mean that fully 15 years must pass before they could secure the same positions on commit tees and the same knowledge of legis lation and governmental machinery that he now possesses as the result of his 16 years experience in the United States senate. On the other hand Governor Hanna's friends claim that Senator McCumber eould not have thrown his stalwart support to either Buchanan or Burdick had he so desired. They say that the stalwarts of the state were loyal to Via LAKE m/RIVER From Minneapolis or St.Paul and Return -f, BUFFALO 32* DETROIT *2S fSL£ ROYALS MACKINAC *!&s CLEVELAND *28* Send 24 For Lake &• Rallfb/der, 24 For"CanotTrips'Fofder.

It is pointed out that he has a splendid working organiza tion in the large number of appoint ments he had made during his two and one-half years as governor of the state and that he has a much better organi aztion and is in a much better posi tion to keep it intact than Senator McCumber. They point out that it is Governor Hanna's right as a citizen to run for any office in the gift of the people and that rotation in office is often, if not always, a desirable thing. While ex-Governor Burke disclaims any ambition to enter the race for United States senate, it is generally believed among his friends that if the his opportunity affords he will become a candidate. It is said that the adminis tration at Washington is very anxious to have him enter the race, especially if either Hanna or McCumber is nom inated. It is the general belief that been diminished. He was most heart ily welcomed by the people of Bis marck and there was much talk on the streets and in the hotel lobbies of his popularity for candidate for the sen ate. It is generally conceded that if he enters the race against either McCum ber or Hanna that he will have at least a fighting chance of success.

COMMISSIONERS IN SESSION The county commissioners met in regular session Monday forenoon with all members present. Only routine business will come before the board, and the session will not be continued for more than two or three days. 5, 1915. STATE PI IS AWFULLY LEAKY Bismarck, Aug. 1.—Elmer Jones and Albert Olson, two convicts from the state penitentiary, sent up for five and seven and one-half years respectively, escaped from the penitentiary last eve ening. The two men were sent to the peni tentiary pasture about 7:00 o'clock last evening to return the cows, when they made their escape. Olson has been doing the work for the past two years, and has always been regarded as a model prisoner. The escape was discovered at once when the men did not return at 8:00 o'clock and a hasty search was made for them. The prison whistle was sounded immed iately and a dragnet of prison guards and officers sent out at once. The men evidently took the old horse which was usually used when driving the cattle back to the pasture, and used it to assist them in their escape. The horse was located in the pasture shortly after 10 o'clock so they did not get very far with the animal. Warden Talcott had men scouring the country last night in an effort to locate the escaped convicts. Messages were sent to all the outlaying towns at once, and a dragnet set that will make it almost impossible for the men to get very far. Descriptions of the men were also wired to the sheriffs of all surrounding counties. The two men had barely an hour's start when the escape was discovered. Officers in automobiles were sent out on roads leading in all directions in an effort to head them off. Elmer Jones was sent up for one of the most heinous crimes in the his tory of the state. Jones, with Mrs. Jane Sogge, his mother-in-law, and his wife, Betsy Jones, were all convicted at the same time. On Oct. 17, 1914, Betsy Jones, a daughter of Mrs. Hans Sogge, was taken to an outhouse and there gave birth to a child. Soon after the new born infant had been killed through abandonment under the most gruesome and awful conditions, Betsy, her mother and husband, who married the girl soon after the child's birth, were arrested and convicted of murder in the first degree. LOOK FOR GOOD BUSINESS With the present prospects for a bumper crop the Carpenter-Neumann Lumber Co., report several sales for new granaries and barns throughout the county, and are looking forward to the best fall in the building lines that they have had since beginning business. Roy Morgan and Joe Jasper were arrested Tuesday evening by Chief of Police Swanson and Officer King for bootlegging. When arraigned before Judge Moe, Jasper was held to the district court under $1000 bail, while Morgan was discharged for lack of IMgA Vv ^, & JMS ,fv The Universal Car ANNOUNCEMENT The following prices f. o. b. Detroit, effective August 2, 1915: Ford Runabout $390.00 Ford Touring Car 440.00 Ford Town Car 640.00 No speedometer included in this year's equipment, otherwise cars fully equipped. There can be no assurance given against an advance in these prices at any time. We guarantee, however, that there will be no reduc. tion in these prices prior to August 1, 1916. Profit Sharing With Retail Buyers On August 1,1914, we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between August 1,1914 and August 1,1915, we would share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent ®f from $40 to $60 dollars on each car. We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time specified, and profit-sharing- checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly as possible after August 15, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914 15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions generally makes it advisable to defer any an nouncement of future peofit-sharing until a later date. We are, howevr, confident of our inability to reduce costs for stveral months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing for cars delivered during August, September and October, 1915. Ford Motor Company DETROIT EMBERTSON & OLSON, VALLEY CITY A VALLEY CITY INTERVIEW Mr. Sollin Tells His Experience. The following brief account of an in terview with a Valley City man over four years ago, and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citi zen. C. A. Sollin, 617 Elizabeth St., Val ley City, says: "A sharp pain in my back changed into a steady, dull ache. The kidney secretions became irregu lar in passage, causing me much an noyance. I doctored and used various kidney medicines, but nothing gave me permanent relief until I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the Dakota Drug Co. They removed all symptoms of kidney trouble." (Statement given Oct. 15, 1910). Over two years later, Mr. Sollin said: "I have had no need of a kid ney medicine since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me some years ago." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Sollin had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. SOO EXTENDING BRANCH LINE Ruso, N. D., July 31.—About 125 men have been stationed at Ruso for some time past at work on the Soo tracks. Two gravel trains and a steam shovel are hard at work be tween Drake and Max and the two train loads of ties, telegraph poles and rails are being carried to the west extension of the road each day. The Soo is pushing work on the road through the reservation. The track from Drake to Max is being raised ab'out five feet and graveled and all of the cuts are being widened to about 100 feet. The wooden bridges are being taken out and tiling put in. Ruso seems to be especially fav ored, ai her two side-tracks are also being graveled. Another sidetrack 2800 feet long will also be built at Ruso. There is a good deal of specula tion as to the plans of the Soo. Many are of the opinion that the Missouri will be bridged this winter and the line pushed on to the coast. In that case the coast trains would run over the branch. Ruso is admirably lo cated and the Ruso boosters say if these changes are made it may be come a division point. The Methodist people gave a de-v lightful farewell party in the base ment of the church Thursday evening for the .Goodsell and Beckendorf fam ilies, who will soon leave the city. Re freshments were served and a social good time was enjoyed by everyone. There was a very large crowd in at tendance and the honored guests were presented with beautiful tokens of re membrance. ^W'„ 1V ,f\f fy. 1 HEMAN Sanborn Enterprise: Chas.
