The report states that the average

NEED OF FUNDS.
North Dakota Candidates Barred Un-

Bismarck. Political party cam
paign managers are up against real
problem in North Dakota, the ques-
tion Of finances having assumed Sc
rious proportions under the construc-
ton of the corrupt practices act,
which prohibits candidates from con-
tributing to fund to be used in fur
thering their own interests. The great
est source Of revenue for the political
managers, SO far as the state ticket
is concerned. has thus been closed,
and they must cast about for new
means to carry on the work.
For the republicans the situation is
even more critical than for the demo-
Gratis The state committee OF the re-
publican party is devoting no atten-
ton to the national ticket, so can
expect no support from the national
campaign bureau. Chairman Gray,
however, is confident he will find a
way to supply the wants of the treas
ury department.
The democrats expect aid from the
national organization because of the
hope OF carrying the state for Wilson.
The same holds true Of the bull moose
organization.
Not only did the legislature throw
up his barrier against campaign con.
tributions, but it also prohibited solic.
itors for aid for charitable institu
tions, ETC., from making advances to
candidates during a campaign; it cut
down expenses for campaign cigars
and drinks; it created the publicity OF
candidates expenses to protect a can
didate from defeat through over-ex
penditures of opposing aspirants, anG

5000 Men are Needed.
At the most conservative estimate,
5000 men are now needed in the state
to complete the harvest. 1t is prob
able that 10000 men could find work
at excellent wages, but experts de-
clare that half that many are neces.
