GOV. CHALLENGED
F. BY AELLSTROM

Fsank O. Helestrom, democratic
nominee for governor of North Dako-
Ia, sprang a sensation last week both
at Casselton and at Wahpeton at the
alcse of his campaign speeches in
those cities when he issued a public
challenge to Governor Hanna to meet
aim in open debate and discuss the
governors claims to having run a
business administration" during the
last two years.
Mr.. Hellstrom has asked the "busi-
ness administration" to explain a num-
Der OF things which will be interesting
@ hear if Governor Hanna accepts his
opponents challenge.
The Hellstrom challenge has been
the chief topic of conversation and
speculation in political circles in Far
go, Wahpeton and C%asselton since the
democratic candidates bold remark.
Will Governor Hanna accept the
| challenge? That's the leading question
in all the hotel Hobbies. Some say he
will. Others who know him we'll, say
ne won't.
They declare it is not Governor Han
aa's policy eve /" Offer any Nxplana-
tons and that not ary will be forth
coming now, even though Mr.. He'll
strom has SO boldly challenged him.
Mr.. Hellstrom has made a number OF
serious charges against the business
administration" which he emphatically
declares is a delusion on the public as
was emphasized by the Burnett-Hill
resolution which was adopted last win
ter by the lower house Of the state
legislature.

gives at present little thought to civic
problems. Good water, sewage dis
posal, parks. Fairgrounds, treatment of
vacant lots. paving, street cleaning,
economy of administration, the city
beautiful and all other civic problems
are somebody elSe's business.
"Second.-For this reason principally
the government of American cities has
many defects; officials are chosen not
for their fitness. but for their political
availability; good officials rarely re-
ceive credit for what they do, and bad
ones are rarely censured.
"Third.-Boys ut the age of thirteen
CT fourteen are full of energy. which
is usually bent ON mischief. Their
minds are at that age way to receive
and marble to retain. Enthusiasts
then aroused are more liable to make
n permanent impression than at any
other age. SO. if they can be made
conscious of their peculiar RESPONSE
bility as American citizens. if their
tAAN> t' IEN q ~ \ hN
| results are likely to be permanent. and
thus in the course of years there will
gradually be built up Il body of citi-
zens that will be Il tremendous civic
asset to their city.
with these propositions in view. the
work was organized. All the entering
class take history the first year. So the
first six weeks of the fall term we de
vote the history period TO this work. Al
most the first thing each boy does is to
commit to memory the pledge of Solon:
"'We will lever bring disgrace to
this our city by any act of dishonesty or
cowardice nor ever desert our suffer
ing comrades in the ranks.
1--WE will fight for the ideals and sa-
'red things of the city. both singly and
together. We will revere and obey the
| ritT's laws ana do our best to incite
Il like respect and reverence in those
above us who are prone to annul or set
them ut naught.
"'Wewill strive INCREASINGLY to quick
tn the public sense Of civic duty. Thus
in all these ways we will transmit
this city not only not less, but greater.
better and more beautiful than it was
transmitted to us"
Mr.. Zicgler goes on to describe both
the class work and field work under
taken by the students. The latter in
cludes regular inspections of the city.
and the boys have been enabled to in
nugurate some much needed reforms.
