Mrs. Della c. Hyde Of Fargo Gives Po'ated
Remarks on Mr.. tjalland

Mrs. Della G. Hyde Of Fargo, one Of
the most prominent members Of the
w. G. r.. u, in the state, makes a
very plain and much to the point re-
ply to the scurrilous attack made upon
the w. G. Z. U. and Its motives by the
Valley City Record. In her letter pub
lished in the Argus, Mrs. Hyde ans
wers all criticisms advanced by the
supporters of Halland and does it
in convincing manner. She further
says:
"The republican party has certainly
overstepped it's prerogative in expect
ing or asking the w. G. T. U. or wo-
men voters of this state to support
their candidate in whose election We
have voice. It is a known fact
that the moral and political status Of
state is determined by the kind Of
men that are placed in public office,
and we hope that the righteous indig-
nation that is felt will be strongly
expressed at the ballot box this COM
ing election and the honor of our fair
state sustained.

Tom Poole, fanCher's Favorlte,
Too Busy EleCtioneerlng to
Do His Duty
No Report of the Cost of Moblli.
zatlon of Troops Is to Be
Had
Looks as If Poole Was PUTTING It
Off Until After the Coming
Election.

Bismarck, Oct. 15.-special.-The
administration, and especially the
Fancher end Of it have continued to
make all sorts of claims that there is
nothing to the charges that Deputy
Adjutant Poole did "jobbing" bust
ness while in charge Of the affairs
Of Camp Briggs at Fargo last summer.
In connection with all of this loud
talk it is worthy Of note that the re-
port Of Mr.. Poole is not to be had,
consequently lAere is nothing on the
records that can be used to show the
people Of the state just what this IA
vorite Of Fancher's did in his official
capacity Of purchasing officer at the
camp. Poole has been asked to make
report several times by citizens of
the state. His first reply was that
he had made it, but that the papers
and the report were burned along with
other records in the Bismarck fire,
which cleaned out the office of Adju-
tant General Miller. Poole has been
asked to make a new report, but he
Is too busy to find time. There is al
ways an excuse offered every time the
report is made. One time he was at
Mandan attending the fair, another
time he was looking after the inter-
ests of the republican party in some
political meeting and again he was
engaged in the same duty in Stutsman
county where the interests Of his chief,
MI. Fancher, required his presence.
The conclusion has been reached by
those desiring to make an investiga-
ton that Poole has been endeavoring
to put of the date Of making this re-
port until after election in order to
avoid the consequence Of a thorough
investigation into the matter. He has
all the time needed to run around the
country ehedtioneering for Fancher,
but no time whatever to tend to his
duty for which the state pays him.
The mobilization of troops was conclu-
ded early in August and the affairs
Of the camp wound up, but the peo-
pie Of the state have not seen any
report from Poole yet. What is Ad-
jutant General Miller doing in the
matter? Is this the way he allows
the affairs Of his Office to drift along?
He should call his subordinates to time
or else retire in favor Of some one
who will see that the records are
properly kept.

A GANG FAlstn0oD.

A long published interview with
Supt g. q. Cchmidt of the James
town schools, tells why he would
not accept the pop. nomination for
state superintendent Of schools
because he was teacher, not a
politician, and besides, the inter-
view asserts, "Mr. Halland has
made the best superintendent the
state has ever had, and for the
educational interests in the state
it would be a pity to make a
change."-Ex.
The above Is taken from the Port.
land Republican. It is a sample OF
the statements kept in circulation
through the medium of some Of the re.
publican papers. 1t is an extract from
a false interview by Prof. Schmidt
published by the Cakes Republican
who has not the decency to offer even
an excuse for his very unprofessional
conduct even after the article has
been denied and repudiated by Prof
Schmidt. If these republican papers
were honest in their intentions they
would print Prof. Schmidt's denial in
stead Of continuing to circulate wha,
they know is false statement. But
it Is the only way in which the swiftly
falling fortunes of certain John G.
Halland can be bolstered, even tenn
porarily. 1t is one of the straws al
which q drowning candidacy is clutch
ing, and it is the adoption Of just
such methods by Halland supporters
that demonstrates that Halland is al
ready defeated.

specifications; second, conduct to the
prejudice of good order and discipline.
with four specifications; third, con-
duct unbecoming an officer of the
ravy, three specifications. All these
charges were founded upon the chap

Floating Blind Tigers.

Friars Point, Coahoma county, is
still struggling with the question of her
floating blind tigers. Looking from
the levee at morning and at evening
the citizens can see two low, rakish-
looking crafts lying at anchor in the
lordly Mississippi. They fly no flag,
but when hailed by a boat passing un-
der their bows, never fail to respond by
letting down the gang plank. Their
primary batteries consist of six long
range whisky barrels and their second
airy ones are made up of quick firing
beer kegs. Right under and opposed to
the shore batteries of that highly for
tilted town they lie, seemingly oblivious
of the fact that the ordinances of the
mayor and board of aldermen are con.
tinually trained on them. They have
been boarded time after time by as
saulting parties that got past their Sec
ondary batteries, but the men who
made the attempt always returned to
