THE ELKS' GHARITY BALL WILL BE HELD DEC. 16 Date Changed from Dec. 11th.—Fam- ous Ainsworth Orchestra Secured to Play for Dance. The committees, who are arrang- ing for the Elks’ Annual Charity ball, have decided to give the ball on December 16, instead of Decem- ber 11, as was originally intended. The changing of the date was made in order that the Elks might have the services of the famous Ainsworth orchestra of Minneapolis. This famous musical organization is touring the northwest and as they are to play at Crookston and other cities near here, it was ascertained that they could so arrange their dates that they could play at a ball to be given here on the night of December 16. The organization will give several selections (a sort of concert) before the dance and they wiil furnish music for the ball. The committees are working together very harmonously and from present indications the Elk’s Annual Charity Ball promises to be one of the most successful events of the kind ever held in this city. As there are 126 members of the local lodge and as undoubtedly all of them will take tickets, it is cer- tain that there will be a splendid attendance at the dance. The invitations are being issued today and each Elk is allowed to invite a friend, but any one who attends the ball must produce an invitation, together with a numbered ticket, before they will be allowed to participate in the dance. The following are the committees who have charge of the dance: Executive Committee—]. O. Har- ris, J. C. Parker, W. J. Markham. Printing Committee—A. G. Rut- ledge A. B. Allen, W. N. Bowser. Decorating Committee—]. C. Parker, J. H. Foss, Bert Barker, A, L. Wyler, Eric Ives, Dr. Palmer. Music—E. H, Jerrard, A. P. White, W. L. Brooks, F. S. Lycan. Floor—Bert Barker, Oscar Ervig, W. L.

HAS FAITH IN DEMOCRACY Governor Johhson Not Cast Down by Defeat of Bryan. Washingiton, Dec. 9.—“I do mnot think the leaders of the Democratic party -are cast down by defeat and if they are right, as I think they are, they will win eventually.” Thus Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, who is here to attend the conservation , congress, expressed in_| an interview his abiding faith in De- mocracy. “1 think the Democratic party is in 8 better position than it was before, the campaign opened. I am, of course,’ unable to say what caused the result to be what it was. ‘Mr. Bryan was much misunderstood ‘ and was pur: Greeley was forced to sell his paper and he is now farming and doing roust-about work on hisfarm in- the hopes of regaining his lost robustful- posely misrepresented; there- was lack of organization in the Democratic party and a unity of organization in Republican ranks.
