Democrats Allege Per Cent Vote for
Nomination Is Void.

Democrats Aliese Per Cent Vote for
Nomination Is Void.
Attorneys JEFF Meyers, H C.. De
Puy and T. D. Casey are in Grand
Forks for the purpose of bringing an
action to test the law requiring 80
per cent vote to nominate candidates
at the primary election
The Democrats are anxious to have
the question decided, as there are
many county and legislative candi-
dates who failed to secure enough
votes at the primary election Appli-
cation will be made to Judge Temple
ton to cite County Auditor Anderson,
to show cause why the Democrats who
failed should not 60 on the ballot.
After hearing and decision by the
district court the case will be appealed
to the supreme court
The Democrats are confident that
they can get the per cent decision of
the primary law declared unconstitu-
tional. They assert the per cent is
far too high.

eighteen year-old son. The father and

TO MOVE BALL PARK
Orders Issued to that Effect at the
Great Northern Headquarters.

According to orders received from
the Great Northern headquarters it is
necessary to move the base ball park
from the present location, as it is now
on the railway ground. Some place
will be secured to leave the grand
stand and fencing until spring and
then permanent place for the
grounds will be secured and the fence
and grand stand will be moved onto it
and the people of Devils Lake can rest
assured that next year they will have
better park than this year.
1t seems rather small on the part of
the railroad company to further this
action as the ground occupied by the
park is not used for anything and in
all probability will not be used this
winter by the company but it is an
other case of the railroads making the
people come to time. The matter was
taken before the Commercial club and
they used their best influence to have
the railroad consent to leave the park
in the present location. but their eff
forts seems to have met with little or
no approval

Twenty thousand laborers will and

mer and fall, and l am certain that

Contractor James Kennedy OF Fargo,
one of the best informed men in the
Northwest on the subject.
Mir. Kennedy has work in Fargo
alone employing hundreds of men, be-
sides having jobs in South Dakota,
Montana, Utah, Minnesota and other
states, having more men in his en-
ployment than any other contractor
in the Northwest.
Two thousand men will be en-.
nloyed in Cass county alone this fall,
and the call of railroads for 2O,00O
men is not excessive" he continued in
an interview. dispatches that have
been sent broadcast over the country
have done North Dakota great in5us'
tice, and what is more, will tend TO
work hardship to the farmers when
help is needed. The publication OF
the statement made by Labor Com
missioner Williams of Minnesota In
papers over the country in general has
raised storm of disapproval from
men interested in the welfare of the

In making trip through the state
claiming that he had seen Governor
Burke and other state officers, the
Minnesota official stated that the cal
of the railroads for 10000 men was
snare and a delusion.

A Wedding Superstition.S

1t has been considered unIucky to be
married in May ever since the days Of
Ovid, and those people who have spent
their time: in looking up roots and
reasons have given what they consider
to be the origin Of the superstition as
follows: @% =,
In ancient Rome there was held In
May festival called the Lemurfa. or
feast Of the Lemures. which was a
ceremony In honor of the speeches Of:
departed souls. It became with the
Romans what we should call bad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the season Of a solemn ritual, being no;
doubt thought to be an insult to: the
dead to marry at such time From
this a number of stories grew of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them. and If anything unfortunate hap
pened to couple who had been mar
ried in May 1t would, Of course, have
been put down to retribution. So the
tradition Of Ill luck arose. and its In
fuence has lasted ever since, even to
our time. -

one of the most interesting legal bat
ties that has ever been fought in the
state, Harrison township scored the
first victory. Some eighteen years

that township was released from the
county commissioners. Ten years ago
the remainder of the township in an
action started before Judge Morgan
left the city's boundaries.
Ever since that time efforts have
been made to get them back The
township is now practically a part
of the city, enjoying many Of the
privileges. yet paying no taxes into
the city Golfers.
City Attorney Clark at the direc-
ton of Mayor Clark started an action
this spring to annex the township
and their first step was to make pub
lie the announcement that in the fu

Goss DOW holds that the city cannot
compel the township to come back
into the city as it has by its acquies-

city on the other hand holds that the
township did not legally sever its
connection with the city.
The case will probab!y; be appealed
