A Call from Fargo.

The men who cannot get work in North
Dakota now, are not very anxious to Sc
cure job. Farmers are becoming more
alarmed over the scarcity of labor as the
date of harvest approaches. In many
sections 1t required considerable hust-
ling to get crews for haying. Since then.
of course, thousands of men have
reached the state, but the number is
nothing like the demand, and unless there
is some means taken to get extra help
from the east much of the bounteous
crop of North Dakota will be injured and
lost. Wages will be high. In addition
to the farm work there is considerable
railroad building and the standing wages
Is 81 day there. The first wheat has
already been harvested and the men will
be needed in the fields from now on.

Mrs. Umsted was the soul and life
of all its functions, leader in sing

Race for Governor.

~~
To the Editor of The American:
! wish to say to my friends and-to
Democrats in generally all over
the State that ! have decided that
would not be candidate before
the Democratic Convention of next
year for the nomination of gov
ernor. Although it is a good
while yet before the party will be
called to nominate candidate,
still in view Of the activity Of gen
tlemen seeking the place, it seems
necessary for me to decline the
contest entirely, or to enter into
an active struggle for the nomina-
ton. which would probably CON
tinue for nearly year. My taste,
feelings and inclinations are such
that / can not make a personal
canvass for this high office.
1t is one thing to consent to the
use of my name as a candidate and
quite another to enter into a real
fight for the place and to make
personal appeals to friends and
Democrats generally for their sup
port. ] never entertained any
cherished ambition" to hold this
high Office, while being willing to
serve my State in any honorable
capacity for which | might b Q
deemed suited, have therefore
determined, upon matured refec-
tions, that | can not 60 into this
fight in The way that appears to
be necessary in order to win the
nomination. l prefer the pos of
a private citizen, and | hope my
friends will not regard me as too
selfish if | follow my own incli-
nations in this matter.
1t was with much hesitation and
reluctance that | yielded to the de-
mands of my friends some weeks
ago, and permitted them to say
that | would stand for this nomi-
nation. | am now convinced that
was mistake, and recall that con
sent at this early date. So, that if
it be desirable, they can take coun-
sci and put out another candidate
before the campaign really begins.
/ trust the course that / have
deemed proper to pursue will not
cause any serious disappointment
to any of my friends. am not
unmindful of them. / feel that
this course is the best for them,
as well as for myself. Knowing
my situation and environments bet
ter than they do, | must be per-
permitted to decide this question
for myself and for them also, so
far as | am concerned.
In conclusion, | wish to express
my thanks and gratitude to my
many friends throughout the State
who have SO generously rendered
me their support for this very ex-
allied position. / am most respect
fully. w. H. SwIeGART.
