correspondent who trapped in the be-

as well as he could:
"Our food and ammunition are
gone. there is no avenue of escape,
and in two hours we shall be annihi-

When he looked it over it seemed
rather bare, so he added:
There are no other important de-

the GOOD GOVERNMENT LEAGUE.

IT was hoped that the So
called Good Government Lea
que of North Dakota had taken
the hint Of a Disguised public
and quietly passed into oblivion
in the same mysterious matter
under which it was born. But
apparently another attempt is
to be made to awaken the
public conscience.
1t is only out of courtesy that
this hybrid can be referred to
as a league. There is no such
animal" Perhaps half a
dozen stalwart republicans
constitute the membership.
These have hired Norman
Black as their secretary, rent
ed quarters in the Stone block
in Fargo and proceed on their
philanthropic mission of 'edu-
eating the people in good
government. At least that is
the purpose of the organiza.
ton, according to a leaflet Just
issued and sent broadcast
throughout the state.
This leaflet outlines the prin-
ciples of the league in the fol-
lowing terms:
The North Dakota Good
Government League is com
posed of taxpayers of the state
of North Dakota from every
business pursuit-agricultural,
commercial and professional.
The work of the league will be
purely an educational one, and
will be continued in the inter
est of no candidate Or set of
candidates, general or local.
It's purpose will be to promote
a non rejudiced and intelli-
gent consideration Of every
movement or measure that
looks to the best interests of
the state, and to deal, on it's
merits, with any individual or
propaganda that seeks to en-
gender class hatred among the
people, or array one class or
citizens against all others. 1t
