POLITICAL FRAMEUP CHARGED
Attorney General Miller Says There
10 no Foundation for Allegations
Against Helistrom.

Fargo. Attorney General Miller
states that no error was made in the
Communication of the sentence of Joe
Remington and his subsequent release
from the state penitentiary by F. O..
Hellstrom, warden at the time. He
brands the story that Warden He'll
strom exceeded his authority in liber-
ating Remington as frameup, cir
culated for purely political reasons.
The story, which had gained consid
cradle circulation, was to the effect
that Hellstrom acted Illegally in liber-
ating Remington, who was servisg a
life sentence and whose sentence was
committed to thirty years by the board
of pardons. There is absolutely no
foundation for any such allegation as
there was no error committed" stated
Attorney General Miller. "The SEN
tence of Remington was committed in
proper order, and he was given his re-
lease by the warden according to the
law.
Mr.. Hellstrom also attributes the
publication of the article to political
enmity. He says: Joe Remington
was in the penitentiary serving life
sentence; the pardon board committed
the sentence to thirty year sentence,
rs stated. I, as warden of the peni-
Tertiary, discharged him, as stated,
which was my duty according to- the
law. 1t now seems that the present
administration puts different con-
struction on the law, which il correct
makes it the duty of the proper au-
thorieies to retake Remington and put
him back into prison to serve out the
balance of his term. II Remington
was Illegally discharged, by me, az
commended. that fact would not invali-
date his commitment" So positive 10
Mr.. Hellstrom that his position is the
correct one, that he personally offers
. reward Of 5000 In case that it IL de-
termined BY the court Of last resort
that Remington was illegally discharg.
Cd, and remanding him back to prison
to serve out any unexpired term.

BULL M00SERs ARE DIVIDED.
Third Party Men Express Different
Views Regarding Plans for
Future.

Fargo.-At o state meeting Of bull
tnoosers to be held here in two weeks,
the question Of placing . state ticket
in the field at the primaries will be
determined. The meeting will be ad.
dressed by Ingalls, Of Kansas, a son Of
tho former senator.
She leaders Of the party are divided
in sentiment a. to the advisability Of
putting ticket In the field. One ele'
ment, believed, however, to be In the
minority, is opposed to a state ticket
and favor reaffiliating with the insurs
gent republicans. 1t contends that
about all that can be accomplished by
naming a ticket will be to maintain
the organization.
On the other hand, many of the bull
moose leaders are optimistic over the
situation and insist that q complete
ticket must be named and that they
will win because of insurgent defec.
ton likely to result from a clash over
the gubernatorial candidacy. H. H.
Aaker, formerly of Concordia college.
Moorhead, is the man most strongly
urged for governor. Twice he sought
the republican nomination, but failed.
He was active In the insurgent repub.
lican ranks until the last campaign
when he became an ardent advocate
Of the third party. F..
1--WE can win easily" said q leading
bull moose party man today, with
Aaker as our nominee. Here is the
way I figure it,, The progressive re-
publicans are determined to run Bur.
dick against Hanna. 1t is evident that
the sentiment over the state for sec.
ond term for the governor is too strong
for Burdick to win the nomination.
The result will be lot of disappoint-
ed insurgent republicans. When the
election is held in the fall they will
vote for strong bull moose candidate
In preference to the governor, who de-
feated their favorite. and we viii thus
stand q good chance Of electing our
man. Aaker IL widely known over the

Ical activity. He 10 Scandinavian

tended. Some suggest having Gen.
trail cream station established at Sur
rey, and the suggestion was discussed
pro and con. The idea is still new
one and some are opposed while 9TH
ers are in favor of it. "The Benefits
to Be Derived From a Central Cream
Station" was one of the several inter-
esting topics discussed. Others were
'The Best Breed of Dairy Cows" The
Care and Management of Cattle" and
"How to Prevent the Spread of Hog
Cholera" This disease is becoming
quite general and is causing the farm
ers of this vicinity grave concern. Mr..
Peck was present at the meeting and
talked on "What May Bring Success
to the Farmer" A free lunch was
served at noon.
The band met at the home of the
Perrys on Friday night. The boys
were well represented and the callers
who were present say that tho fewer
in number the boys are manifesting
their former interest and they had
splendid practice Friday evening. We
are eager for the return of warm
weather, when they can again appear
for their weekly concert.
A spelling contest between the sixth
and seventh grades was held at the
school on Friday afternoon. 1t was
an old-fashioned spelling down"
match and some truly difficult words
were mastered by the children in
remarkable manner. Some of the up
per classmen were thankful not to
have been in the contest or they would
have been defeated by the youngsters.
1t was a close fight until finally the
last one up of the seventh grade went
down on the word "punctuate." Lit
tie Miss Henrietta Shorb, the last one
up, spelled the word correctly and
amid hearty applause carried off the
honors for the sixth grade. The con-
test seemed to have imbued the upper
classmen with a sudden interest in
spelling and it is rumored that the
seniors will challenge the sophomores
for a contest. It may be that Surrey
will start q revival Of the old-fashion-
ed "spelling-bee," but a "Revival of
Spelling" would be truly desirable
thing. Most of us would be put to
