BY circular letter we note that T.
M Darlington, two years ago, a candl
idate for the Legislature, and during
the last campaign the chief dispenser
of sectarian strife - and therefore in
ferentially member Of the A. P. A.
= is now secretary of the Bottineau
County Pool Room Association and
dispenser of Drewry and Sons Malt.
It is questionable if this stuff comes
within the limit of the law. But the
one thing we wish to call attention to
is. 'How have the mighty fallen!''
But it may be that Tommy wishes to

ratio to his moral qualities, and it
must be admitted that the general run
OF men selected for position by the or
ganization in this state are men Of
brains. s:s
We must beg the pardon Of the
editor for the space we have taken
from time to time in dealing with
Sunday School teacher Falkenstein.
