DEMOCRATS PLAN
FOR CAMPAIGN
NORTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS ARE BEGINNING TO
PLAN FOR THE APPROACHING
CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR AND
SENATOR.

The leaders of North Dakota's de-
rnocracy + now beginning to lay def
mite plans for the approaching cam
Ltorfal and gubernatorial campaign in
the state this fall in which former
Senator Purcell and former Warden
Hellstrom will be the chief figures.
Mr.. Hellstrom, the candidate for
governor, arrived in the city yesterday
evening from an eastern business trip
on the North Coast limited and in the
evening at the Gardner hotel there
was an informal meeting of some of
the gubernatorial nominees friends
who sought interviews with their
standard bearer.
Just what the plans for the cam
patgn viii be have not been actually
determined, according to the state
ment of one of the leaders last night.
After the organization OF the state
central committee early mex. month,
the plans n schedule will be settled
upon.
1t is reported, however, that this will
be a speaking campaign for the most
part. The democrats insist they are
going to put up q hard fight for the
governorship and the senatorial cleo
ton. 1t is their purpose, so it has
been rumored, to bring a number Of
leading democratic orators of national
reputation into the state during the
campaign to speak in behalf of Mr..
Hellstrom n Senator Purcell.
There will be whirlwind speaking
tours from one end of the state to the
other, according to some of the polit-
ical gossip that has been heard in the
hotel Hobbies. Besides Mr.. Hellstrom
and Senator Purcell taking the stump.
former Governor Burke, now federal
treasurer, is expected to be one of the
chief speakers n will probably spend
the entire month of October in North
Dakota speaking in behalf of these
two candidates.
Another speaker will probably be
Secretary of State Bryan, who Is a
familiar figure to North Dakotans. A
third will probably be Senator Owens
Of oklahoma, the chairman of the
senate finance committee. A fourth
may be John Lind of Minnesota, until
recently special envoy of President
Wilson to Mexico during the Huerta
regime.
1t is also rumored that Congress-
man Hammond, the democratic nomi-
nee for governor of Minnesota, viii be
on the list of speakers Off the North
Dakota campaign. There was also
some talk that President Wilson him
self might be heard for a speech in the
state, if he makes any trip at all this
fall.
The chief interest in democratic
circles right now seems to center on
who will be state chairman. 1t is con-
coded MI. McArthur'S day is over and
that 1t will be impossible to name his
successor. 1t is known that an indie
pendent democrat will be chosen and
the choice seems to be between H. H.
Perry of Glendale, ]. p. Lamb of
Michigan City, and P. T. Byrne of
Bismarck, former secretary 20 the gov
ernor during the Burke aGministra-
tons,

Modernizina Aneient History.

S. NJ. Crothers in The Atlantic:
have a book published in the early di-
dactic period of the nineteenth centu-
|ry which illustrates a certain way OF
imparting historical information. II
was written with the laudaDIe inten-
tion OF making history interesting tc
people who didn't want to venture into
the unfamiliar. The author thought
that il the ~patriarchs were conceived
OF as New England selectmen. their
lives could be made as interesting as
il they were New England selectmen
And / am o sure but that he sue
ceeded. The book is divided into two
parts; a conversation with Adam COW
ering the space of $50 years and ar
interview with Noah giving an account
OF the deluge and the other events
with which he was familiar. They are
represented as nice old gentlemen
rather formal in their language and
strictly orthodox in their opinions
Adam speaks hopefully OF Methuselah
who. he says. "must be now 81 years
| old and Is a discreet and well princi-
| pied youth. He was very much dis.
tarbed over the radical views of the
Tubal- Gains. There is nothing in the
book that would indicate that either
Adam or Noah had been out Of Con.
4 necticut.

OIL BROADWAY
AGAIN THIS FALL
AUTO CLUB DECIDES NOT TO
WAIT UNTIL SPRING TO PUT
OIL ON NORTH BROADWAY
FROM TWELFTH TO THE STATE
FAIR GROUNDS.

Broadway will be given another coat
OF crude oil this fall,
This was decided at q meeting of the
Fargo Automobile club held yesterday
afternoon when a number of the car
owners Of the city gathered at the
commercial club to consider several
propositions for improved motor car
travel
1t was decided to give North Broad
way from Twelfth avenue TO the state
fair grounds a coat of oil this fall in
stead of next spring as had originally
been the intention. II was argued that
If the work was delayed until spring
IL would be June before the work
could be accomplished with the best
results owing to the spring rains. BY
putting it on this fall during the dry
weather IL would be given an OPP
portunity of being absorbed by the soil
and prevent the softening of the
ground by the melting SHOWS and
spring rains.

George Payne Rainsford James was q
most prolific writer. More than 100 novels
are accredited to him. And then there
were his historical works. His first novel
was "Richeiieu." published in ISIS, and
the list of his best known novels begins
with "Darnley,' published in 1929.
Sir Walter Scott encouraged James to
write, and delighted in the wealth Of his
torical information of the lesser sort
which James possessed-those little side
studies in history which expended page
in a description of the peculiar sort of
boots worn in a certain year Of certain
reign.
James is diffuse. garrulous, and often
tedious in the beginning of his stories.
and seems to have copied from Sir Wal
ter that aggravating hesitancy about
getting into action when he begins to tell
his tale.
He stands however. as one of the great
historical novelists of the English Ian
guage-has even had the honor of being
caricatured by Thackcray, who detested
his affectations.
He was a man of wealth and pleasure
British consul to Boston and then to
Norfolk. Later he was transferred to
Venice. where he died.

The Blackfoot Highway boosters
met with large and enthusiastic audi

are of the same opinion, and they will
improve the line through their county
