While the City Fellow IL Allowed
To Look On

This section Of the state had the
privilege and pleasure yesterday of
listening to Lynn ]. Frazier, Rcpub-
lican nominee for governor, anI
James Manahan, the celebrated law.
yer Of st. Paul. The main address,
e were made 1t s. P. Andersons
grove, eight miles northwest Of the
city, where . farmers picnic was ell
aborately planned for their coming.
Two hundred automobiles or better
brought from 1000 to 1900 people to
the place to listen to the political ad-
dresses.
VIM. Zieman nominee for the state
senate. presided and introduced the
speakers. The first presented was
Mr.. Whipple, candidate Of the League
for the house I've understand from
Stutsman county.) He reckonsd the
recent victory of the League - the
most wonderful thing ever put over in
the world. He WAS delegate to the
state convention in March from the
twenty-third legislative district, and
there never was 4 more fair conven-
tion held. On governor there were
seven names presented and after two
hours deliberation Mr.. Frasier re-
caived almost the entire vote, and
later was named unanimously. The
convention wanted IN honost-to-G God
on-the-ground-farmer for once. Mr..
Whipple touched up the elevator
proposition and also paid his respects
TO "Big Biz"
Mr.. Frazier was introduced as "the
next governor Of North Dakota" He
ID q robust, good-natured, honest
looking sort Of chap. In prefacing
his remarks he told what . great
pleasure it was to be here. and thank
Cd those in the audience who had
given their support to the League
ticket. The result w.s no surprise
- hiln. He hsd besn Over lie state,
and when he saw the farmers coming
fifteen, twenty. forty and evsn hfty
miles to attend the meetings and pic
mics he knew there was to be some
thing doing On June 28th. As hieh
- 5000 people have attended some Of
the picnics.
Mr.. Frazier went back to the early
history Of this country and told Of the
early struggles Of the people in their
fight for liberty. Conditions became
unbearable leading up to the time Of
the revolution, and the declaration Of
independence was made to take the
political power out Of the hands Of
the autocratic nobility and put it in
the hands Of the common people. He
came down to the period Of the civil
war when our people again struggled
for liberty.
Coming to the present day events
he told how the common people were
making another struggle for political
freedom. He showed how sixty per
cent Of the wealth Of this country was
owned by two per cent Of its people,
how the rich men had taken hoA Of
the politics Of the country to suit
their own financial ends. He was in
favor of taking political matters out
Of their hands and putting it in the
hands Of the common people. The
farmers are not getting justice. They
are the real producers and have moth
ing whatever to say when it comes to
making prices paid for their products.
The prices paid were in the control
Of gambler| protected by laws. If
the politicians had given US what was
anything like right there would now

London is discussing newspaper mistake which, unless compromised, may result in a court action. On Aug. 29 a London illustrated daily printed on its back page a large photograph of man in yachting dress and with naval cap Underneath the photo graph was the inscription, Captain Max Valentiner,'' and oyer it: "The Lusitania pirate. No murderer's face ever seen in the dock was more typical than this, yet Germany halls it as a hero's. Captain Max Valentiner, son of the dean of the Sonderburg cathe- dral, is the Hun pirate who torpedaed the Lusitania. He looks capable of 50 dastardly al deed" The photograph is that of a man wearing beard which bears traces of having been touched up a little in order to make it look fiercer. It now turns out, so the story goes, that the photograph is not that of Valentiner at all, but of Cornelius Vanderbilt, taken some time ago in yachting costume. His brother, AL fred, was one of the victims of the Lusitania.

Man Who Attacked
 Priest Is Insane

Joseph Lyness, a Remington Arms guard, who created a near panic in St. Charles Catholic church yesterday morning, at the g o'clock mass, by attempting an attack upon Rev. P. J. McGivney, has been adjudged insane by physicianse and sent to Hillside homo.
 Lyness, who boards at 2151 Seayiew avenue, wildly waving handkerchief. stepped over the altar rail and ciutched the priest whose back was turned, by his vestments. City Pros- ecutor Alexander l.. Delaney and Dr. Elmer F. Blank dragged Lyness from the altar and had him sent to the emergency hospital.
 It appears that Lyness was infat- uated with a waitress, who failed to reciprocate his affections. The fact that she recently married another is believed to have unhinged Lyness' reason.
 Twelve women waiting to receive communion, fainted during the inci- dent.
