ciples for which he stands as follows:
II want to see the American govern
ment in its administration represented
by the ablest men that we can COM
mand in every department. / want to
see the government under a financial
system which will promise economy
instead of extravaganza by a sound,
business-Ake budget method. 1 want
to see the merit system maintained
and it's principle faithfully applied.
II want to see in every department
of our community a zeal for the public
service which will put our civil service
in a dignified class, and make civil
service one Of our most honorable ca
reers in this country. want to see
the highest standards of efficiency in
every possible way where we can by
want to have the life of our people en-
riched; the opportunities for labor
employed at the best wages, with
proper hours and wholesome condi-
tions.
Above all I want to see that sense
of mutual dependence which will make
us realize as we have never realized
before, that in these days of keen
competition we must work together,
realizing that every mans chance is
only a. chance for service"
Come on, American boy, with fine
outlook and bright ambition, not to get
a little place where he can exploit his
fellows by exceptional talent, but rath-
er where he can benefit his fellows by
a splendid use of that talent, invigor-
ating and stirring the enterprise of the
community. We want managerial abil-
ity Of the highest order, but we want
it for service. We want the humblest
working man as well as the most tai
ented to feel that his chance is fair
chance for service, and we need prep
er rewards distributed by commu-
nifty where service is the highest ideal
and where justice reigns supreme"

New York, Nov. S,-Wilson closed
his campaign with two great rallies in
New York city last evening.
The presidents coming gave the
Democrats their first opportunity of
the campaign in this city for the old
fashioned political enthusiasm on a,
big scale. Torchlights and red fire
blazed in Fifth avenue as the hosts Of
Tammany hall, headed by Charles F.
Murphy advanced upon Madison
Square garden which was besieged by
a tremendous crowd before their ar
rival.
Two hours and a half before Mr.
Wilson was due to arrive at the his
toric garden, police reserves were
striving vainly to hold back a surging
throng striving for places of vantage
which would make entrance easy after
the doors were thrown open. Holders
of reserve seat tickets strove vainly to
reach the entrances. In the crush
about the doors many women tainted.
In his speech the president said in
part: 1.r

TO ASK
DELAY
OF CASE
Jurors Will Seek Rest From
Duties Over Election
Defense Begins

Jurors hearing the cases Of E. A.
Wilson and r. NJ. Farmer on charges
of conspiracy to defraud in connection
with the affairs of the North Dakota
Improvement Co.. want to go home for
election.
They probobly will ask Judge Page
Morris. who is presiding, to adjourn
court Saturday evening until Wednes
day afternoon. thus permitting them
all to go home over Sunday and cleo
ton day.
This was the fifteenth day of the
trial, and with the defense just begin
ming its evidence, ten days more prob
ably will be consumed in the trial of
the cases.
Defense is Outlined.
Plans for the defense were outlined
yesterday. It was set forth that the
defense would contend that the So
called investment contracts maintain
ed by the Improvement company, were
based on the ten year endowment
policy plan.
It also is contended that there is no
evidence of fraud in the company's
dealings; that the men who founded
the company were confident in their
belief that the organization would
prove beneficial to all concerned.
Scott First Witness.
W. A. Scott, the first witness called,
testified as to the early details of the
company's business. maintaining that
he believed the Improvement company
was based on proper motive, and
denying the existence Of any con-
spiracy. Failure was brought about,
he said, through too heavy investment
in real estate, and lack Of liquid
assets.
Mr.. Scott continued under cross
examination this morning.
Attorney Wood was on the stand
this morning, producing certain rec
ords of the North Dakota Improve
ment Co.
H. w. Alsop was called to the stand
just before the noon hour.

is THE BISHOP RIGHT?

TO stay away from football, baseball,
moving pictures and bird dogs. There

preacher, who is also a first class
man in every way, and spends a big
portion of his time visiting the sick
and sorrowful, He is apparently a
long in the thrties and his cheerful,
wholesome countenance and brisk
energy infuse life and hope into all
ing persons that benefits as well as
any medicine could. Still he finds
time to cultivate his garden, raise
chickens, visit his friends and enjoy
the companionship of handsome
collie He also drops into the ed
itor's sanctum now and then to rest
and browse among the exchanges
and even goes sometimes to the mov-
ing picture theaters here.
