Many of our citizens assisted
in the long search for the body,
and especially Jacob Richter,
proprietor of the Wahpeton Iron
Works, where the young man
was employed. Mr.. Richter
closed his place of business
and with his force of men, with
the aid of other willing hands
scarped the bottom of the river
for miles, men with boats
watched the river almost day
and night, knowing that he
would soon raise to the top,
but with no result until Sun
day afternoon when Leo Much
vitsch and Tony Keiser were
floating down the river about
six miles north of this city they
found the body lodged against
what is known as Connolly's
Island. The body was removed
from the river and brought
back to this city and placed in
the Estes tnorgue, where it lay
until Monday noon, when the
body was taken to the Catholic
cemetery, followed by his fel-
low workmen and friends, ard

The platform claims that the

long before the birth of the Re-

more development, consider

ever occurred since. No party
can develop the industries of

WILL TEST THE LAW.


Will the 80 per cent provi.
sion of the North Dakota pri-
mary law hold water?
There are several democrats
in Fargo that are of the opinion
that it will not, and it is more
than likely that an action will
be brought in the near future
testing this provision of the
law.
The section that is in dispute
provides that in order to get a
nominee on the ballot at the
general election that party
must cast at the primary elec-
tion 80 per cent of the number of
votes cast for the secretary of
state at the last general election
by that party.
According to a Fargo demo.
crat who has figured the pro-
position out, this would re-
quire a vote of three demo-
crats at every precinct in the
state to nominate the governor,
seven at ev-ry voting precinct
in the county to nominate a
county officer, and II in every
voting precinct in Legislative
district to nominate a man for
the lowe: house of the state
lawmakers. From this it
would be seen that the require
ments are more stringent as
the office becomes more repre-.
sentative of the voters.
In an interview with The
Call yesterday one of the lead
ers in this section of the state
declared that the law provided
for the death of the party if an
exceptionally large vote was
polled for secretary of state.
All incentive to put up strong
man is lost if the law stands,
for a big vote at the general
election means trouble the
next time of nomination.
1t is probable that move
ment will be started at once,
attacking this section of the
law only. The other provisions
meet with the approval Of the
democrats, but they refuse to
be done away with entirely.
The courts will be resorted to
in time to decide the case be.

November.-Fargo Call.
