many MEETINGS TO
BOOST RELIGION
MOVEMENT
Secretary Wallace Will Be
Exceedingly Busy For
Next Six Weeks

The program for the next seven
weeks for Executive Secretary K. e.
Wallace Of the local committee Of the
Men and Religion Forward movement
Is a full one. This evening he will
leave for Westhope, where on Thurs
day night he will organize a local COM
mittee at that place. On Friday he
neau n may appear at Minot on
Sunday, although that date has not as
yet been definitely settled. Next week
he will visit Glendale. Bismarck,
Mandan and Dickinson for the purpose
of organizing local committees.
That the movement is Increasing in
strength as the days before the big
meeting to be held in this city grow
fewer. is evidenced by the many let
ters. personal and from church and
public organizations. that are re-
ceived by the local committee. The
cities where the conventions have
been held have all reported wonderful
success in the endeavor of the boost
ers for a larger number Of recruits in
the religious army enrolled for the
betterment. not OF creed or de-
religion and the world in general.
The reports have been received
throughout the state and have helped
the interest in the session to be held
in this district March 10 to II.
All Speak OF Meetings.
An interesting feature Of the move.
ment Is that no matter what creed
the speaker may be. lecturers before
Sunday schools. churches and conven.
tons have n some way or other re-
ferred to the coming meeting in Grand
Forks. State Sunday School Superin.
tendent Walter A. Snow'of Fargo, who
has been here the past few days at
tending the convention Of the Grand
Forks District. Sunday School conven-
ton, stated this morning before his
departure for Devils Lake. that he
could only prophesy a wonderfully
large attendance at the session here.
1T is my firm belief that v be-
fore In the history of the world, has
q religious enterprise Of. any nature
created the intense and keen interest
that h present movement has insti-
tuted. I have in the past few months
covered the state fully in the Sunday
school work and in. that time I have
had an opportunity to look the mat
ter over. l find that the. people are in
general very keen to. learn all that is
possible about the session to be held
in Grand Forks and that they have
expressed determinations to attend
the March gathering.
Especially in the cities where the
committees have been organized have
the inquiries been keen regarding the
movement. It Is my firm belief that
Grand Forks will be the Mecca Of t.
least 1000 delegates. the week Of
March 10 to IT,"

That Martin Natne. the Coopers-

In the meantime those remaining

JAIL STAY CHANGED M|NO
Herman johnson, Denying Theft Tues
day Night. Admits Guilt When
ArraiSned Today.

A nights stay in the Grand Forks
county Jail worked wonders on the
imagination Of Herman Johnson, ar
rested Tuesday afternoon charged with
the theft Of a coat. When arraiened
before Justice Mclaughlin Tuesday
evening johnson declared he was not
guilty. and claimed that he had gained
possession OF the coat in question by
trading another for It.. This morning
after he had rested on the county jail
bed springs, decided he was guilty aud
the result is that he was sentenced
to a thirty day term.
Just what It was that caused John.
son to change his mind unless the
is something the county authorities
are unwilling to attempt to explain. :
It appears that after stealing the
coat johnson had sold it to another
party for 81. and 1t was through this
innocent purchaser that johnson was

As YET
List of Officials to Be Named
Double Work For In
spection Boards

While the forthcoming municipal
election is demanding the attention OF
several North Dakota cities. it has
failed to stir up more than passing in
terest in Grand Forks as vet. March
19 is the date on which the election
I'll be hsld. while February % is the
last date on which petitions Of candi-
dates for election car be filed.
In Grand Forks a mayor. a city
treasurer. a police magistrate. a city
justice, together with seven aldermen
are to be elected. those officials whose
terms expire being as follows:

Maintain Two Elections.
The election boards serving at the
coming election WILL, as a matter of
fact. conduct two elections stimuli
taneously, as the presidential prefer
ence primary takes place on the same
day. The city election was formerly
held in April, hut the last legislature
advanced the date to put it on the
same date as the presidential prefer
ence election, q new departure for
North Dakota. :,
AS a result of the double election,
the voters must be, asked which party
ballot they prefer. as. well as being
provided with the city ballot. 1t will
be necessary. Of course to maintain
separate deposit boxes for the two
classes of ballots.
Cities and Townships Paw.
The result of placing the election on
the same day as the city and township
elections is to make those political
subdivisions bear the expense of the
election. the only cost falling on the
county. being that of providing for the
returns on the presidential primary.
Townships. too. hold their elections
the same day that the city votes, the
third Tuesday in March being the es-
tablished election date in the rural
districts.
In the cities tho March election date
Is enecttve only in presidential years.
Means Some. Delay.
In the cities there will be some de-
lay IN securing the returns on the
presidential election as a result of this
double election. The presidential
primary ballots will. in practically all
cities. be counted after the city ballot
is disposed of. and it is hardly proba-
BILE that anything like definite returns
on the preside entail feature will be OBJ
tanned till the following day, or very
late on the night of the election.
