WHY HtNOR|CKSON
SHOULD Be ELECTED

Staale Hendrickson of COteau is
one of the republican nominees for
the office of representative from
this district, there being two other
republicans nominated, and there
are three men to be elected for this
Office. 1t is generally believed that
he will be one of the high men when
the votes are counted after election.
Whether his chances are considered
good or bad. both Mr.. Hendrickson
and his friends are putting forth
thei" best efforts to show the vot-
eGsYSlat it would be to the best in
tAresfsi Of the district that he be re-
turned to@ the legislature next win>
ter. The NonPartisan Leader at
the present time is straining every
effort to elect set of supreme
court judges which will not declare
every law unconstitutional that ia
voIs the common people. All men,
bers Of the league will vouch for the
above statement. Most of the vot-
ers in the district also know that
Mr.. Hendrickson at the last session
OF the legislature introduced and
succeeded in having passed a bill
which required that in order to de-
clare law unconstitutional the
vote Of the entire five members of
the supreme court @as required.
Mr.. Hendrickson fully realized that
too many good LAYS were declared
unconstitutional by this tribunal,
bill and put in his strongest efforts
in getting it passed. No matter
who the judges are in the future it
will be a harder matter to declare
unconstitutional good laws favoring
the common people, and Mr.. Hen
dr,ckson should he given credit for
this. He knew the common peo
pie of the state were not being
given a square deal. the same as all
the NonPartisan League members
know, and did his best for the ma
jolity Of the voters. Another
thing the voters Of Burke county
should remember is the fact that
four years ago Mr. 11endrickson in
troduced and succeeded in having
passed a bill which provided that
Burke county be reimbursed the
money it paid out to owners Of
horses which were shot after found
to be suffering from glanders. AS
most of these examinations were
made at Portal on account of the
many immigrants that passed
through that port surke county
was made to pay out some over
5000 in one. year. and most of this
money went to non-residents who
waro on their wav tO Canada Mr.
Hendrickson succeeded in getting
the state to reimburse Burke coun-
ty for what money it paid out on

YOUNG Man WAS
VICTIM OF ACCIDENT

Langdon, N. D.. Nov. "A rath-
er unusual accident occurred at the
N. G. Crockett farm when William
Maxwell who is about 16 years of
age was unhitching four horses
from the gang plow at noon. Just
how the accident happened is un-
known as the horses came to the
barn unhitched and the brides
either hanging on the names or
dragging. 1t is presumed that
when the boy pulled the bride off
from one animal it started for the
barn and may have kicked up and
struck him. He was found shortly
after by Nat Crockett. For a long
time he was in dazed condition
and at this time has not fully re-
covered. The doctors found a
small wound back Of his ear and it
is presumed that it was caused by
kick.

BLACKSMITH CANE
TO DOCTORS AID

Glenburn, N. D., Nov. 2.-It is an
unusual thing in this country for a
doctor to have to call on a black
smith to help him but such was the
case when Mrs George Robinson
overloaded her system with head
ache pills.
Mrs. Robinson took several pills
to cure her headache, but they prov
ed too much for her and she became
unconscious. A doctor was called
and after working for some time
decided that nothing could save her
but pure oxygen. He finally sent
for F. Humbrought, the local black
smith, who brought tank Of oxy-
gen used in welding, and in a short
time they had the woman out Of
danger.

ed. States Attorney o. B. Herig-
stad informed the Optic-Reporter
late last night that Coroner Orson
Doe of Kenmare had been notified
and he will come to MinOt this
morning and conduct the inquest.
Out of the excitement Of the deni-
zens Of the colored society who were
enjoying the delights of the dance
and it's collarteral embellishments.
1t is impossible to determine just
what the real cause of the war
was. Beer was on tap and some
old grudges probably figured in the
cause.
Goldie Brown opened the conflict
by shooting Frank Gregg. Claude
Peoples then shot, and Gregg in
turn shot Brown. 1t was largely
a drunken riot in which number
Of vicious characters used their guns
with deadly effect.
Gregg was shot but once. but the
bullet had the effect of a small
cannon. 1t passed through the up
per hip bone above the hip joint
and through the intestinal cavity,
making eight perforations in the
intestines-that is passing through
four loops Of these organs.
Claude Peoples left the premises
as soon as Gregg and Brown fell
but was later arrested by the police.
He did not have gun On his per-
son but according to the night po-
lice sergeant, they have evidence to
the effect that he drew the gun dur
ing the fight. Tolla Campbell, a
wench, and Tom Harris, also color
ed, were in the joint at the time
and are being held as witnesses on
the charge of vagrancy. They
have been turned over to the sher-
if. and bail has been fixed at $1,000
each. An effort was being made
last night to furnish bonds for
their liberty. A number of other
colored people who were picked up
when the police arrived were found
guilty of vagrancy and sentenced
to pay fine of SIS and costs or
serve ten days in jail in default OF
payment an additional ten days

Boston, Aug. 2e-James H. Hustis,
president of the Boston and Maine
Railroad. today was named by Fed
eral Judge William L. Putnam as tenn
porary interlocutory receiver Of the
road.
The action came out of clear sky
after unprecedented proceedings
never before witnessed in the United
States Court Of this city.
Charges of collusion and fraud were
made against the directors OF the rail-
road, and there were also charges
that the judge had close personal re-
lations with some of the directors.
Former United States District At
torney Asa P. French made the
charges by presenting an affidavit Of
Francis V. Streeter. OF Medford, and
asking that the minority stockholders
be allowed to intervene in the case.
This the Judge refused to allow, and
said that II Attorney French persisted
in filing the papers he would put them
before the district attorney for con-
sideration OF the grand jury.
Attorney French persisted in what
he maintained was his rights and the
Judge then followed out his threat by
ordering the papers presented to the
United States district attorney and
the United States grand jury. after
which Judge Putnam withdrew from

He predicted that those who figure

AN examination Of the Progressive

closes the fact that though the Pro-
gressive party did not win that cleo
tion. more Progressive legislation has
been enacted than botn the Democratic

The platform adopted by the Progress

the performances OF the Wilson admins

OF that party says, that Woodrow Wilson
carried out more pledges OF the Progress
sive party than that party itself would
likely have done had it been successful
The Democratic party in 1912 did not
promise a Child Labor law. it did not
promise the Federal Bank Commission.
1t did not promise a nonpartisan tariff
commission, ii did not promise Federal
employment bureau. It remained for the
Progressive party to be the pioneer party
in sharply calling the attention of the
people to these needed measures.
But, after fulfilling his party's pledges
OF reform and constructive legislation.
Woodrow Wilson, a progressive OF pro-
gressives. called upon Congress to put
those four measures upon the statute
books, not because another party had
first suggested them. but because he be-

A suggestion from the White House to
Democratic leaders in Congress that

was conveyed back to the President, II
is said. that proceedings against the
leaders would antagonize the entire labor
vote of the country, making certain the
defeat of the party this fall.
1t was given as the opinion OF the At
torney General that the leaders could
not be enjoined until after the commits
sion of an overt act, such as interference

The President is said not to have who'll
