Cook county courts. Of litigation hav.
ing its inception in charges that the
seat in the senate was purchased.
Since April, 1910. when the bribery

cratic legislative leader, tried twice

gated and dismissed.

quilted today.
The only conviction during almost
a year Of constant litigation was that
of Detective Keeley. who had had
custody of Representative Becke-
meyer and and who was said to have
testified falsely as to orders given by

The Grand Forks Anti-Reciprocity
Convention is Bugle Call to Arms

In a letter to the executive COM
mittee Of the anti-reciprocfty con-
vention in this city, Hon. J. M. De-
vine points out so many reasons why
the convention should be tremen-
dous one, that it is published below
as bugle call to arms. The letter
follows:
81 assure you that in every way I
can will attempt to arouse the peo-
pie Of this section to the vital i'm
portance of having big representa-
tive delegation In attendance at the
Grand Forks convention. North Da-
kotans everywhere should be fully
aroused to the great danger Of this
so-called reciprocity agreement.

ton, since We have been a state, that
will affect US as q people 80 serious
ly as this agreement should 1t be-
come law.
"A careful study of it's provisions
will show that had Canadian states
men acted solely and alone they
could not have improved upon its
provisions SO far as enhancing their
own interests and lessening ours. It
gives every possible concession to
the Canadians, and but little or moth
ing to the Americans. Especially is
this true Of North Dakota and every
agricultural bordering states. Ger
tainly no body Of intelligent, expert
enced men could have conceived ant
drafted this agreement who knew
anything Of present conditions and
possibilities Of the Canada of today.
or the interests Of the bordering
states.
Under the operation of this agree
ment what market in Canada will the
American farmer secure for the priv
ilege of letting the Canadian farmer
in this, his market? We have today
the greatest market in the world, and
in exchange for the privilege Of SELL
ing in that market we secure no con-
cession in return.
81 am not opposed to reciprocity
when reciprocity is possible. Reci-
procity carries with it the, UNDER
standing that you are to get some
thing for giving something and gen.
orally speaking it should be a fair
swap. In this agreement the agri-
cultural states give everything and
get nothing in return. It opens up
two countries whose surplus pro-
ducts are identical and the same. I'm
der such an arrangement 1t can't and
never will be reciprocity, but 1t will
be intense and disastrous competi-
ton; it will be agricultural war. with
Canada having all the weapons.

the American home market. By that
market the nation has grown great;
the laborer has found ready and pro-
fitable employment; the farmer a

forty years the farmer has had q

that real protection eliminated with
the binding swiftness of enchant-
ment. We are to see a market Of
90,000,000 of people traded for mar

gives market In the United States
