Miss Bates and her political managers
are using unusual efforts to cast discredit
m Mrs. Laura Eisenhuth and to arouse
the partisan opposition of the W. G. I.
r. ladies towards Mrs. Eisenhuth. The
,ea} reason Mrs. Eisenhuth has been
singled out for special attack to destroy
her standing and reputation with the or
panization, is a purely political one,
which possibly the woman voters of the
state do not clearly understand. The
republican managers want control of the
state school land money the next two
wears. They expect to elect their gov
ernor and the attorney general-who by
the way is known opponent to prohibit
tion-and it is necessary to have the
school superintendent also to constitute
majority of the board. The board will
have the appointment of deputies and
the handling of large amount of school
funds and its investment in bonds for
the public schools. Many lady readers
will remember how the press has been
showing up the loss the schools of the
state sustained in the investment of the
school money under the old state school
board. Thousands Of dollars in premiums
paid for bonds to invest the school money
in, at per cent, when the schools should
have received per cent, went INTO the
pockets of the ring. Miss Bates is Of
course honest herself, but why are Ler
party managers taking such an extra
ordinary interest in her election? 1t is
doubtless because they want to handle
the funds more than they want to see
Miss Bates elected. With Mrs. Eisen-
huth in charge no ring can hope to take
advantage of the investment of the school
money arising from the sale of lands,
and the heritage OF the school children
will be as safely managed the next two
years as it has been iE the past two. Mrs.
Eisenhuth stands like rock in the way
of manipulating the school money in
the interests OF politicians and that is
Why they are cunningly trying to arouse
prejudice against her with the lady
voters OF the state on the temperance
question.
All who know Mrs. E. recognize IN her
faithful christian woman, q temperance
woman of high character, and especially
we'll qualified officer for the superintend-
ent Of schools. The good women OF the
state, without regard to any society,
ought to be proud Of one OF their mum.

other argument whatever.
As sample OF the disreputable
methods the opponents of Mre. Elsen-

Of Miss Bates, the Fargo Argus Of last

at Carripgton, sold whisky and that Nc

Mrs. Eisenhuth will probably shortly

said, has not been resident OF the state

personal grudge against her for appear
