Rugby defeated the School
of Forestry in a we'll played
game of foot ball here Friday,
by a score of II to 0. The first
touch down was made a min
ute after the game was on,
when Rugby kicked off to the
Forestry 2O-yard line and Sc
cured the ball on a tumble.
They made the first touch down
in four downs. Jones kicked
goal. After this. the Forestry
boys played them to a stand
still and forced Rugby to punt
three times. The first half end
ed 6 to O..
The second half was just as
hotly contested as the first.
The Forestry took the pig skin
from the center of the field to
Rugby's Is yard line by consis-
tent line smashes by Minkel,
the full back; but here tumble
gave Rugby the ball and all
hopes of scoring after this were
lost to the Forestry boys. In
the last four minutes of play
Rugby secured the second touch
down but failed to kick goal.
Considering the experience
of the Forestry boys they played
a fine game, as this was their
first contest. All of Rugby's 8
gains were made by end runs
by Mclean and Jennison, while
the Foresty gains were by the
use of the forward pass and
line plunges. 2 rss-.ft-~- - p. $50

Senator Nelson Says Every Re-

Senator Knute Nelson of
Minnesota spoke. to IAN aud

Minot Monday evening. He
paid eloquent tribute to C. A.
Johnson, the republican candi-
date for governor, saying
among other things that it is
the duty of all loyal republi-
cans to stand by him and give
him their votes because c.. A.
johnson is good republican,
a good citizen, a clean honor

people can trust. After the

next tuesday, November s.
There are five tickets for presi-
Dental electors on the ballot
namely: Republican, demo-
cratic. socialist, prohibition and
independence. The socialists
also have congressional and
state ticket but the nominees
are placed in the sixth column
of the ballot under the heading
of individual nominations.
Three constitutional amend
ments and a proposition to levy
a tax for county fair purposes
will also be submitted to the
voters and unless the supreme
court declares the law uncon-
stitutional, republicans will be
permitted to express a prefer
ence for United States senator.
The polls in each of the fifty
four precincts in Bottineau
county will open at 8 a. m. and
close at 5 p. m.
The republicans and demo-
Gratis alone have candidates for
district judge, Legislative and
county Offices.
The general ballots are 24x36
inches in size, the largest ever
used in this state. They were
printed at the Courant Office,
the contract having been award
ed this newspaper in competi-
ton with some of the largest
printing firms in the state.

and is Of interest to every
voter insBottineau county and
especially to the farmers. The
directors of the Bottineau
County Agricultural society are
asking the voters to authorize
a tax of one quarter of one mill
for the benefit of the county
fair. The amount of such tax
is SO small, averaging 16 cents
per quarter section of land,
and the general benefits of
county fairs 50 large if for
nothing else than an advertise
ment and demonstration of
the possibilities of our county,
that every farmer as we'll as
every property owner should
vote for it. The argument that
it only helps the town of Bot
tineau is not good one.
While it is true that the btlsi-
ness men of any town in which
fairs are held sell a. few more
goods for one or two days
than perhaps they would do
otherwise, yet the town of Bot
tineau has contributed in actual
cash to the fair each year much
more than it would be possible
for them to receive back in any
two days business, and ninety
five per cent of the amount
they have so contributed, or
from$5OO. 90 to $4,000, has been
distributed each year by the
fair directly to the farmers in
premiums awarded on exhibits.
A county fair must be held in
some town and no town in the
county is more fit therefor
than the county seat.

few republican candidates have
ever received.

When / came to North
Dakota l did not know much
about Gov. Burke, but have
been making an ivestigation,
and it is surprising to me that
the democrats believe they have
any show at all. Gov. Burke
is trying to make the people of
the state, the temperance peo-
pie especially, believe that he
issin favor of prohibition.
Il have investigated his
stand in this regard, too, and l
find the facts to be as follows:
The governor made trip over
to Dickinson once upon a time
and made a play towards en-
forcing the laws. He went
back to Bismarck, and now l
understand that blind pigs are
running in open violation of
the law in Dickinson the same
as before.
But that is not all. l am
reliably informed that there are
some fifteen blind pigs running
in Bismarck right under the
governors nose, and he is
making no move whatever to
enforce the law.
The governor is merely
making pose of being in favor
of prohibition. This is evident
from the fact that the blind

piggers generally seem to be
satisfied with Burke and con-

Gentlemen, you cannot af-
ford to turn down man of the
stamp of Mr.. johnson. They
say that Burke is a good fellow.
Well, that may be, but man
needs to be something more
than a good fellow to make a
good governor. He lacks one
essential characteristic and that
is he is a democrat and is
shouting for Bryan all over the
state. His interests are with
the democratic party and his
election will strengthen the
democratic party in this state.

will be happy in this world and
