RAISING GLOVER IS A PROFITABLE FARM WORK A Polk County Farmer Realized Hand- somely in His Experiment With Clover Raising. Tartle River. June 2. Harry Dougherty was a Bemidji visitor this week. The bank building in Farley was destroyed by fire last night. Misses Effie and Mame VanTassel were Bemidji visitors Saturday. Jack Dale and W. M. DeMarre of Mahnomen were visitors in Farley last evening. Paul Eutech returned from Bemid- ji Saturday. Paul has been confined to St. Anthony’s Hospital all winter. The first class of the public school of Turtle River to graduate from the eighth grade were Arthur Johnson, Ruben Johnson, Edward Smith, Ethel Porter, Lottie Madison. An excellent program was carried out very successfully. The Crookston Times recently published the following article con- cerning the experience of a polk county farmer in raising clover: “The possibilities of clover cul- ture in this county have been demonstrated fully by two well known farmers in the Town of Liberty and there is no doubt but that their experience will lead to a large acreage in clover this year. Nels Clementson of Liberty is in the city and he states that a year ago last fall he threshed three and one-half bushels of clover seed to the acre, for which he received $10.00 per bushel. He had none of the improved machinery for the work and was highly satisfied with his returns. *He also stated that Andrew Hoff, who has a farm near him secured an average of six bushels of clover seed to the acre last fall, for which he re- alized $15 per bushel, or $90.00 per .acre. Both Mr. Clementson and Mr. Hoff are enthusiastic over clover cul- ture and there is no doubt but that they will this year and in the future put in as much clover as they possib- ly can. - “The progressive farmers of the county are being arosued to the pos- sibilities that exist in the clover and and the result will be greater returns from every acre of land that is thus cultlvated.” The lands of Beltrami county are peculiarly adapted to the raising of clover, as has been shown by the experiments of several farmers in this community; and that there is much money to be made in raising clover is a fact beyond dispute. Puposky. Mrs. O. J. Laqua and daughter, Ella, of Hazel are visiting at War- ren for a couple of weeks, Mr. and Mrs. Carlson were called to Miuneapolis this week on account of the death of Mrs. Carlson’s father. John Walker, William Miller and Jack Sullivan left for the big drive and expect to be gone about three weeks, A farewell party was given for Mr. and Mrs. Forte last Monday, the Forte family leaving for Min- neapolis in the near future. A large crowd of Puposky people attended, and an enjoyable time was had. Their many friends here wish them well in their new home. Immense Mass or 1estimony.

NAME N0 CANDIDATE Resolutions Adopted by Mirylund Democratic Convention. ONE BRYAN IDEA CENSURED QGovernment Ownership and Manage- ment of Railroads Is Condemped as Impracticable, Ruinous and With- out Warrant. Baltimore, June 4.—The Democratic state convention in session here sent an uninstructed delegation to the Den- ver convention. The platform prom- ises the candidates whom the national convention selects “the generous and loyal support of the thoroughly united Democracy of Maryland,” but does not - mention any candidate for the presidency by name. It demands a revision of the tariff; afirms the rights of states and denounces the doctrine of centralization. The pres- ident is condemned for “his persistent attempt to dictate and coerce legisla- tion.” Regulation of interstate commerce under the “commerce clause” of the Constitution is urged in order “to re- lieve the people to the utmost limit practicable from the grasp of illegal trusts.” 4 Government ownership and manage- ment of railroads is- condemned as impracticable, ruinous and without ‘warrant.

Des Moines, June 4—According to the latest returns received Senator W. B. Allison is nominated United Btates senator by a majority of fully 12,000 over Governor A. B. Cumming. B. F. Carroll, Rep., was nominated for governor by a majority of over 15,000. For lieutenant governor George Clarke of Dallas county is in the lead, with indications that he will be named. Reports from all over the state point to a large majority for Allison. Counties which two years ago went for Govermor Cummins this year re- turped a majority for Allison. Seven ogngressional districts give Allison his majority. He carried practically every county in the First and Second dis- tricts. In the Third district he lost Hardin county and in the Fifth Cum- ins secured a majority in three of ‘the counties. The rest of the state ticket has not been reported save in a few isolated instances, but the indications are for the nomination of the following: John CONGRESSMAN HULL. L.

The reports at hand con- firm the estimates sent out that Gov- ernor Chamberlain, Dem., will clearly have a majority of 1,000 or more over Judge Henry M. Cake, his Republican opponent, for United States senator. It is practically ‘certain that the legis- lature will have twenty-five members committed to the election of the peo- ple’s choice for United States senator, six more than necessary. Congressmen Hawley and Hllis are returned to Washington by large ma- Jorities: Bqual suffrage has lost by a heavy majority. Prohibition carried in many counties, e ported as follows: J. P. Connor over Frank P. Woods in the Tenth; E. H. Hubbard over W. D. Boiss in the Elev- enth; Bllsworth Rominger over Speak- er Nate Kendall in the Sixth; Charles Pickett over B. B. Sweet in the Third. Reports from the Fifth indicate that James Good has a majority over Sen- ator Trewin, although both claim to have a majority in the district. A. I Smith was not in the running against M. P. Hepburn in the Eighth district. The only Democratic contest was in the. Becond, where Mark Walsh of Clinton won over J. E. de Armand of Davenport.
