against bonding without the

The election, which was held Satllr-
day, was on the matter of bonding the
county for $4,000 for the purpose Of
obtaining funds with which to construct
a new courthouse at LaMoure, The
county has been about evenly divided
geographically on the proposition. In
the eastern part the bonding proposi-
tion was received with favor but i'll
the western part Of the county it has
been opposed.
Friends Of the bonding proposition
attribute the defeat at the polls to the

ST. Petersburg, March I2.-In prac-
tiea1ly all Of the first stages Of peasant
selections, factions in the villages re-
fused to-participate.
Reports from Snolensk, Mishkin,
Zubtsoff, Volkine and elsewhere indi-
cate that peasants generally have select
ed conservative delegates to the dis
5trict conventions which will select del
egates to. the provincial conventions at
which representatives to the national
assembly will be chosen.
Nevertheless at the first convention
of peasant representatives at Moscow
Yesterday, while they did not succeed
in choosing their delegates, they strongly
favored the selection Of peasant against
the land owner class.
Feeling on the subject is evidently
being aroused Al proportion Of work
men refused to participate and mach
larger body the entire radical wing,
belonging to the social democratic party,
is boycotting the elections at Moscow,
where about third of the employees
of tile factories have refused to- vote,
This wing has adopted a resolution de-
claring that the national assembly is
niockery as the election law favors the
rich against the poor, the land owners
against the peasants and the employer
against the Worknlen.
