ST. Paul, July 1S.-John NJ. Parker's
rallying cry to the surviving Progress
sives and call, issued last Saturday
for a new national convention of the
party in Chicago on Aug. is blamed
by Prohibition leaders here today for
the collapse of plans for a monster

was hoped to enroll prominent mem
bers of the Progressive, Republican
and Democratic parties. The national
convention opens at the auditorium to-
morrow.

urer of the Prohibition national COM
mittee, inaugurated a boom today for
DR.. Ira D. Landrith, of Nashville,

Landrith was the first choice of many
vice presidential honors, with VIM.

candidate for the dry presidential
nomination sprang into prominence
today on the arrival of the New Jersey

and then down the branch line.
Other visitors made the trip by
teams and automobiles, many from

Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1916-09-15

n. F. Smith OF Selfridge, is ap-
parently peeved about something
that has appeared in the Pioneer.
1t may have been the reference to
~ fighting ability. Some men
start a fight and when licked"
get sore if mention about their cold
feet is made afterward. Far be it
forSthe Pioneer to make any refer
ence Of any cowardly stunt staged
by this authority on "mudslinging. {"
The letter framed above gives
Mr.. Smith the distinction Of regis
tering the first knock" the Pho
neef has received from a subscriber
during the short time it has been
published Since October i, 1914,
the circulation of the Pioneer in a
county with 2135 population, the
smallest in North Dakota. has
reached 600 copies weekly. Hard
ly a mail delivery passes but what
some subscriber in writing the editor
praises the Pioneer as being the
best, county newspaper in North
Dakota considering its limited field.
But then Smith is not satisfied
with a number of things as they
are. He is even against Fort Yates
being the county seat of Sioux
county, and wants the court house
moved to Selfridge. He is not satis-
fed that the laws of North Dakota
governing county seat removals have
been interpreted correctly by the
Supreme Court of North Dakota.
When Smith caused q number of
arrests to be made some time ago,
he was not satisfied that States
Attorney johnson of Fort Yates
could properly conduct the prosecu-
tion, and retaind Mandan attor-
ney to appear in the case and usurp
the functions of the lawfully athor-
lied attorney representing the state.
Smith has had much trouble
since coming to Selfridge, and the
Pioneer and public have sized him
up as being chronic kicker whose
bowling is as harmless as it is tire
some.

who shot and fatally injured a home
steader by the name Of Hunter, re-
siding near Thunderhawk in South
Dakota. The negro was employed
by Hunter in the hay field when they
got into an argument and after TAX
ing considerable abuse; from tile
negro he was paid off and ordered to
leave. Later in the evening the
negro returned to Hunters home
and demanded admittance. When
the door was opened he opened fire
on Hunter, the bullet entering
above the heart. The negro escaped
into the country but was caught by
the sheriff while sleeping in a barn
on farm several miles from where
the shooting took place. Hunter is
