Democrats of this county, you who
claim to be such, DO you know that
your central committee is composed
of Democrats? What are their views
on living national questions? They
may have none, and may have radio

what is expected of "a good, true
partizan?" He is expected to have no
opinions of his own. They are to be
moulded for him by central commit
tees and conventions. When they
say "Slmon says thumbs up" thumbs
must up, or you're put out of the game

that there are between 900 ant q. OO3 Ice
landerS living in this country. But that is
the fact, and quite recently delegates from
eleven lcelandic congregations in Dakota,
Montana and Manitoba met in convention
at Mountain in the first namet territory
to form q synodical union. There is a hitch,
however In Iceland the women have voice
and vote III congregational matters, and the
synod ical constitution al opted at Mountain
by vote of IS to contained a provision to
that effect, but ONE of the congregations
are SO stoutly opposed to this equality Of
tho sexes that q. least one more convention
will be necessary to settle the matter.
