Norton Dominâtes Of course there are plenty of Re publicans who are not enthusiastic over either Christianson or Nelson. Both of these men belong to the new faction dominated by W. I. Norton and that fact does not appeal to eith er big Ed, Backus or big Ed. Smith. These two powerful politicians look upon Norton as an intruder and de spise the Govenior for his failure to recognize them* as the voice of au thority. But it must be said in de fense of the Governor that he has more correctly sensed the source of authority and power by holding his seances with Mr. Norton than would be true if he sought out either Backus or Smith. In the writer's opinion the proper man to tap the interest for funds in behalf of a Republican can didate for governor or senator in the year 1928 is W. I. Norton rather than either of the gentlemen named above. Hoover a Handicap The Hoover candidacy for president will not be an asset to the republi cans in Minnesota this year as the Coolidge candidacy was four years ago. Hoover is an enemy of farm relief.

SWITCH OF 010 ASSURES VICTORY (Continued from page One) conceded that Ohio could furnish the additional votes needed by him. Reed Denies Looking Toward Vice Presidency Houston, June 27.—Brushing aside talk of the vice presidency, Senator Reed of Missouri was rallying his forces about him for a fight to the finish on the presidency today as his allies from the south against Cover nor Smith turned their attention to the impending battle for a dry plank in the platform. The militant Missourian gave form al notice again last night that he meant business when he issued a statement denying a story published in an early edition of a Houston pa per indicating that Reed and his friends were now looking longingly at the vice presidency. "We will carry on the fight in good faith to the very end and hope to win," he said. "We have not made any trades for o considered any other position than the presidency. I have refused at least 100 times to permit discussion or consideration of that matter." But the drys from the southland were less inclined to think about the presidency today as the mounting tide of Smith strength seemed to as sure his nomination on an early bal lot and they were businly engaged in the desperate contest to obtain at least a dry palnk in the platform. In fact, Cone Johnson, a Texas del egate who addressed a dry rally last night, mentioned that it looked like Smith would get the nomination "by default."

JUDGE LEIPER'S FIGURES ARE "ALL WET »> (Continued from page One) Judge Leiper, of some fame in Plen tywood, figured up the principal and interest of the note, and got it wrong. The attorneys took the fig ures of the Judge and they agreed that if the plaintiff was entitled to anything he was entitled to that amount. The jury, however, although all of them were farmers, by long ex perience in signing notes, and com petent to do this figuring for them selves, determined that the Judge's computation was wrong, so they made him and the lawyers figure it all over again and get it right. Olson's ver dict was for $2.106.07, plus attorney's fees. There was no opposition to Mr. Lewis' demand for $200 attorney's fees and the opposition practically agreed that if he was entitled to any thing he had that sum coming. When the jury brought in its ver dict, however, it allowed the eminent counsellor $25. And it is said that the kidding he got from the jury the street afterward, and the cigars and soft drinks he had to buy them, must have cost him at least $25. But his client sadi: on , It vos vorth many times $25 to see them scalavags get vot vos coming to them, guy myself more as $25. I pay dot Fire Cracker Ordinance Should Rp onoma oe u&served „ .

Crop conditions all along the road were up to standard although some what late in some localities while oth ers, especially in northern Minnesota showed injury from drought, but gen erally speaking crops were fine with an abundance of moisture.

FARMERS FIGHT OVER FENCE Bainville—As a result of an aleged tend™ and a fiat fight between James McCann of Lanark a..t e Miller of Bainville, two of t ranchers in this p«t of1 the stete. the Bainville court « faced witt one of the most perplexmg P* . j ^ has ever dealt with.

The two men quarreled over over i , then McCann came to Miller s plac bringing along witnesses in the form of his son and renewed the argu ment. The men finally came to blows and Miller, who is about 30 pounds lighter an4, several years older than McCann, received many injuries, none °f which were serious. After the fight, McCann and his son rode away, but during the night the entire line of fence was destroyed and both dis puting parties say they had nothing to do with it. Miller came to Bainville ^e ne xt morning and had McCann ar j re sted for assault, but he was releas He ec j on bonds and his hearing was not definitely set. Because of both be 0 |d timers the trial is anxiously awaited. McCann is an old rancher an( j an uncle of Jack McCann, heayy weight prize fighter, who is making a name for himself in the east, DR. LANDSTRUM DIES SUDDENLY AT HELENA (Continued from page One) ing the sessions of 1903 and 1905 during which time he was instrument al in sponsoring and obtaining tta passage oi some of the most progres i iation Montana has ever had. sive It was >r the close of his secon i lenv. in the legislature that he moved to Helena to practice his profession. He had by that time won to a prominent place not only in his profession in the state, but in the political affairs of Montana as well, politics ever having been his chief interest aside from the profession of medicine. In 1908 he was chosen chairman of the state re publican central committee and two years later was named as chairman of the executive committee of that body. He was also chairman of the Montana delegation to the republican national convention in 1912, the year of the Bull Moose movement. Dr. Lanstrum cast his lot with the regular republi can party, which that year went down to defeat, as did also the progressives headed by Theodore Roosevelt nation ally. In 1918 Dr. Lanstrum achieved na tional prominence when he achieved the distinction of being nominated for the United States senate by the re publican party at the state primary election. When in 1904 the republicans of Montana formed a stock company to purchase the old Montana Daily Rec ord of Helena, Dr. Lanstrum was ac tive in the matter and was named managing director of the paper. In the following years he acquired addi-. tional stock until he came into con trol of the publication, which he held for many years. Although he early relinquished the title of managing di rector of the paper, he remained pres ident of the company and was active in shaping its political policies until its sale a few years ago.

Ingenuity and variety distinguish the show program.

Miss Jum bo, the oldest performing pachyderm who is 110 years old and can say "papa" as plainly as you or I, is one of the features of the show. The parade will leave the show grounds promptly at noon. Pedform ances are scheduled for two o'clock in the afternoon and 8 o'clock in the evening. Doors will open an hour earlier so that all may pay a leisur ly visit to the side show, with its many curious and strange people.
