But it seems they were as alert as ever, and out of the total delegates elected Jake saved but four, and they only got through by default in Grand Rapids precinct No. 2. Jake has great {political ambitions. He likes to tell about conversing over the phone with ithe leaders in state politics and make it known on what familiar terms he is with governors, senators, and other dignitaries. But somehow whenever he gets up to reach for political fame the real leaders knock him down and kick him out into the cold, cold norld. And thus it happened that 4 vs. 48 didn’t even get into the arena when the fight was called by Referee Brooks. It was a disappointment to the newspaper.fellows and others who were present to enjoy the usual Democratic scrap. Jake was over- whelmed. It was about 3:30 when Chairman Brooks of the county committee and Secretary F. A. King took their seats on the platform :and the venerable chairm&n called the assembled dele- gates to order. No preliminary speech-making was indulged in and a motion made by A. B. Clair that a committee on cre- dentials be appointed was carried. A motion to appoint a committee on resolutions and permanent organiza- tion also prevailed. After am adjournment of fifteen minutes the committees were ready to report, and what they had io of- fer was accepted unanimously. All credentials presented were endorsed, and the temporary organization was made permanant. The committee on resolutions submitted the following very brief report. “Resolved that the Democrats of | Howar@ McLachlan, 2b; L. 8. Whitte-; go 50 to 60 bushels to the acre.

Grand Rapids wif be treated to one of the most thrilling exhibitions of the season Fridya evening when the Court house gang and the North side clerks will battle for base ball honors, the losers to provide a ban- quet for the victors, The following is a copy of the chal- lenge ‘ssued which was accepted in behalf of the clerks by T. H. Shoaff: “The Court house ball tossers hereby challenge the aggregation represent- ing the stores of the North side to play at Southside park at 6:30 o’clock Thursday evening, July 28 ,the losers to provide a banquet at the Grill res- taurant—L.

MINNESOTA CROP PROSPECTS GOOD Farmers State Yield Will Be Lar- gest in Ten Years— Expect Bumper Corn Crop A representative of the Herald-Re- view has just returned from a twa week’s vacation, spent in Southern (Minnesota and Northwestern Iowa. While in that section he enjoyed an automobile ride of about two thou- sand miles and had an excellent op- portunity to estmiate the crop con- ditions Although reports have been to the contrary, yet southern Mip- nesota farmers state crop prospects are the best! they have been in tthe past ten yars. The oat yield will go from 40 to 50 bushels to the acre and is of good quality, while this year’s ‘wheat cropa is the only successful one the last ten years. Barley will go from 35 to 40.bushels to the acre. ‘Hay is the only crop that southern Minnesota and northern Iowa farmers consider a partial loss, the hay being of avery poor quality and most of the small grain losses are on account of the grain being down so badly that it cannot be cut andbundled successful- ly.

Great indignation is manifested here for the reason the boundary line of the new “dry”belt does not include Bemidji, which is centrally located to all the three reservations. Many openly declare there’s a “nigger ih the woodpile.” The order from Chief Special Offi- cer Johnson recites the order of the commissioner of Ipdian affairs in de tail relative to the enforcement of regulations in Minnesota, quotes from the treaties with the Sioux and Chip- pewas and then continues: “On account of the limited appro- priation available for the suppression of the liquor traffic among the Inr dians it is advisable to concentrate the work as far as possible to the territory within and adjacent to ex- isting Indiam reservations ‘and it is believed that active operations by you in the following designated terri- ory within the limits of the ceded Indian lands in the state of Minne sota will possibly be sufficient to ac- complish the desired end. “1, Throughout all of Becker, Cass Clay, Hubbard, Mahnomen and Nor- man counties. “2.

Fans will hail with delight the an- nouncement that the Grand Rapids city base ball team will not be dis- banded, but to the contrary, fs prac- ticing each evening and expects to jput up a better article of base ball ‘than ever before. The team has, in the past, been running under too heavy expense and Manager Wellein proposes to put the organization on a business basis. Of the former battery, Brownlee.and Peterson, only Brownlee will be re ‘tained. Herried, of Deer River, will act as receiver behind.the.initial bag, while George Blasing will hold down second base.

PLANS COMPLETE FOR NEW STORE Henry Hughes Has Accepted Plans} for New Store Building to Be 75x90 Feet. Plans have at last been completed and accepted for the Hughes block, which will be erected at the corner of Kindred avenue and Fourth street and the contract will be let in a few days. The building will be composed of prick and will have a seventy-five Kindred avenue while it will extend a distance of | ninety feet on fourth street. The first floor, as mentioned in 4 former issue of the Herald-Review, will be used entirely for ‘department store purposes by Henry Hughes & Co. and the firm plans on having one of the model stores in the northern team will consist of home players. When questioned by a Herald-Re- view representative concerning the new organization and its plans Mr. Wellein said: “Yes, we are going to have a good team and) 'we are going to have it without running in the hole, As this is campaign year, we ‘will sell sign spaces on the fence around the grounds to aspiring can« didates and in this manner we will at least be in a position to.square up ‘some of the accounts against ihe organization.” Mr. Wellein already has definite plans mapped out for raising the necessary coin of the realm and stated there is no reason why the financial end cannot be op- ‘eyated| successfully. Al Brownlee, twirler, has been ap- pointed captain of the team gind the players will be put through their paces each evening. There is plenty of good material here for a fast teant and all who are interested are urged to turn out. The Cohasset team, dissatisfied wit the 4 to 3 decision of some time ago, wish to fight the thing over @nd Manager Wellein will give them the honor of first meeting the newly or- ganized team. The game will be called at 3 o’clock at Bouthside park Sunday afternoon and the Grand Ray: ids band will enliven things up by redering several selections during the game. Everybody turn out and ‘shdw themselves loyal to the new team. A. J. MCGUIRE WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE \Decides That He Will Confine His Energies to His Present Position. Supt. A. J.
