MAKES VERY LITTLE DIFFER.
ENCE,

Failure of the executive committee
of the Progressive Republican league
yesterday to adopt resolutions stating
that 1t would support the Republican
nominees should not any worry.
The members Of this league are free
agents and as such are Intelligent
enough to vote without instructions.
1t goes without saying that the Pro-
gressive Republican league will sup
port the ticket. Its members are Re.
publicans and some of their leaders
appear on the ticket. In fact, many
Of their members supported Hanna
despite the fact that Burdick was the
organizations candidate.
Mr.. Burdick's announcement that
he will support the ticket quiets all
fears Of q bolt. Now Is the time to
present a united front to the enemy
and roll up a big Republican majority
1T the polls in November. Let the
sore spots heal. We are, first of all,
Republicans, however we may differ
on some of the principles which agi.
tate the party now.

Equity Issues

Fargo, N. D., July 81. M. Ander-

lowing statement. 4,
''In its efforts to crush the farm
er's cooperative grain marketing
movement, the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce is sending broadcast q
false and deceiving circular entitled
"A History Of the Equity Co-opara-

the newspaper tools Of the Chamber

The Minneapolis chamber of Com.

I'VE ask you to be on guard
against the Combines campaign Of
lies. You know how dangerous q
gambler is and what he will do to
get your money. II the wheat specu-
lator a gambler? II SO what ca1 you
expect Of the Chamber Of Commerce
Combine? Why is the combine
spending large sums of money send
ing out false literature to poison
farmers minds against the Co-opera-
tive Exchange? Do you suppose they
are doing it to help you? They are
doing it because the Equity Co-opera-
tive Exchange is making real head
way for the farmers marketing
movement. They would fight any
other farmers organization the same
way that did not play into their
hands.
Can't Reply to All.
I'VE cannot hope to reply to all
OF the lying statements which the
Chamber of Commerce circulates
about US. The yand their army Of
highly paid tools are at it all Of the
time. The officials o fthe Chamber
of Commerce have been asked time
and again to meet us before farmers
organizations and debate these mat
ters but they dodge.
If you or your aeighbors want to
hear the facts we ask you to write
the Chamber of Commerce officials
and invite one and all Of them to
meet US In debate in your town any
time. Notify us of the date and we
will have q man on the Job who will
show them up.

CALGARY OIL BOOM.

The recent development of oil In
the Calgary field, Province Of ALDER
ia, has caused increased interest in
prospecting in British Columbia. One
company. composed of Vancouver
citizens, which has been drilling for
some time. in the Pitt River district,
recently found a limited flow of oil,
but owing to a strong flow of water
in the casing it was necessary to
abandon the two ,ells. Drilling Is
now progressing on another we'll for
this company, and It Is the opinion of
experts that oil in paying quantities
will be developed. Other companies
are being formed in the Province and

eral different locations. Reports of
mining engineers and oil experts on
different fields show formations and
conditions similar to those in which
oil has been developed in Canada and
the United States.
The excitement incident to the Cal.
gary oil boom has started a period Of
speculative promotion in British
Columbia, which has caused the Van
couver Board of Trade and other
commercial organizations to issue
warnings against investment in oil
propositions which are not backed by
lease holdings and other conditions
affording a reasonable basis for in
vestment.
Special activity is shown In oil

districts I'M this Province; In the for
