BATTLE AGAINST

Red Cross Seal Day Sales
Net Record SUN in
Bismarck

That the ople of the capital city
are in sympathy with the campaign
being carried on by the ladies against
tuberculosis is demonstrated by the
fact that they have responded most
generously to the ladies' efforts in
the sale of seals.
Yesterday alone the sales of these
seals ran up to II. 600 amounting to
$116. Seals were sold at stores and
ladies and girls solicited. The ladies
expect the sales to exceed $3.50 by
Christmas. There will probably be
no more soliciting, but seals will still
be on sale at the various stores. How
ever, the ladies are, to be congratu-
lated on their success, and say they
appreciate the Tribune's story Of
Red" which assisted some.

Dickinson, N. D., Dec, 6.The ap-

was the recognition OF the Lish
branch Of the Democratic party here.
( Wilson. L. Richards had supported
E. A. Lillibrldge for the place and
Frank Lish, ex-sheriff and pioneer
democrat, had backed Meyer. II was
the most spectacular fight this coun-
try has ever seen and was marked
by we'll defined lines.
Richards depended upon his. per-
sonal influence with the national COM
mitteeman, Bruegger, to grab the
plum for Lillibridge and in the mean
time Lish had secured the endorse
ment Of Meyer by every county chair.
man and every state central commit
teeman except Richards in the land
Office district.
Bruegger sided with Richards, but
Lish carried the fight to Secretary
Lane and made showing which won
the secretary Of the interior entire.
ly. Lane enlisted in Lish's cause,
and recommended Meyers. Last
summer President Wilson sent his
appointment to the senate.
John Enrke took up the fight
against Meyer and Lillibridge went
to Washington with a certified copy
of the municipal records, which prov.
ed that Meyer had conducted a bar
when he was in the hotel business
here, in the early days, and had paid
his monthly license under the guise
OF fine.
Meyer then showed that when the
community frowned upon the liquor
business he had closed his bar the
same day.
Governor Burke requested Senator
Chamberlain to hold up the Meyer ap-
pointment and the Oregon senator
complied. The senate lands commit.
tee held up it's report till the end
Of the session, when the appointment
died, and sent the facts back to the
president.
Secretary Lane announced that he
would be in the fight to a finish for
Meyer and Burke announced his bit
ter opposition. It became fight be.
tween Secretary Lane and Treasurer
Burke. and the latter's friends insist
ed that Burke was ace high with the
president.
The appointment Of Meyer was,
therefore, received with great en-.
thusiasm by the Meyer adherents
here. Meyer is an old COW man and
range rider Of the early days.

company store, of which he is the

Washington

Washington, Dec. 6.-In the alb
sence Of any change in the political
situation in Mexico the official inter
est of Washington centered upon the
military operations.
Confidential reports indicate that
the victorious march southwark OF
the constitutionalists' armies have
received check, the extent Of which
is not known.
The rebel leaders themselves have
taken alarm and are preparing to
modify their plans Of campaign to
inject the tizrsxtunfng aspect Of the
federal forces, the dispatches affirm
ed. iss h, s3S' \.
It is understood that federal lead.
ers in the north, who, after the sup.
posed defeat sustained by them In
the battle at TERRA Blanca, were be-
lieved to be fleeing in an effort to
find q refuge across the border in
Texas, have actually abandoned their
purpose. Instead, it is reported that
they have begun flanking move
ment on Villas rebel army.
Juarez-A feeling has spread among
the rebel leaders that the Huerta
government is preparing some sinis-
ter surprises in connection with the
projected march of General Villas
rebel army toward Mexico City.
That the federals abandoned al
most all the northern part of the re-
public after they were beaten and
forced to seek safety in the noun
tains or across the United States
border, and that General Mercamo,
the federal commander pronounced
his forces bankrupt. is not accepted
as indicating that the rebels will be
nnresisted in their advance south.
Some belief is expressed that the
federals had an object in evacuating
Chihuahua and other isolated feder.
al garrisons, where it was impossible
for them to do much more than de-
fend themselves, and they purpose in
abandoning these posts to permit an
energetic defense in the central and
southern states, where forts are more
numerous and communication among
them. easier.
Noon, Sunday, is fixey by Villa for
his entry into the Chihuahua state
capital. evacuated q week ago by
General Mercado, who with six other
generals and 5000 troops and civil.
ians, Is fleeing toward the border.
Villa last night encamped at sa,lz,
30 miles north of Chihuahua. Fred
erico Moye, civil governor, announc.
ed his readiness to turn the city
over to the new authority. It is the
first time since the days before Pres
ident Diaz that this capital has
changed authority while revolution
was pending.

MINIMUM WAGE OF SIS
Probable Recommendation of MINI
sofa Commission.

The Minnesota minimum wage com.
mission probably will fix the minimum
wage for girls at not less than $3.50
a week.
Miss Eliza Evans, secretary, said
that though only fifty girls had re-
sponded to the commissions request
to file statements as to wages and
working conditions, she believed that
the amount mentioned would be the
minimum.
From the fifty responses received
the lowest wage mentioned was So a
week and the highest SIG. Most of the
responses showed that the girls were
working for from So to Sc week.
Miss Evans says she will recon-
mend to the commission that it adopt
a minimum. of at least $3.50 and pos
sibly SO a week.
