DRIFT TO HUGHES.

Steadily from all directions comes
the report that the drift is to Hughes.

While the Democratic party has it's
solid South, the solid East, West and
Middle West are for Hughes. The
evidence Of landslide to Wilson in
these sections is not apparent. 1t
must be q landslide to overcome the
normal Republican pluralities.
The New England states are suiid
for Hughes. New York Will go fo1
him by safe majority. Tammany
may be able to secure a slight margin
for Wilson in the city III New York
because Of its control of the politi-
cal machine, but the upstate vote
will be overwhelmingly for Hughes.
Pennsylvania is beyond question
Of a doubt for Hughes and Ohio,
while more equally divided will go
Republican. This state has gone
Delnt cratic only once since 1868, and
that was in 1912, when the Taft
Roosevelt detection gave Wilson the
state by minority vote.
Illinois, with the exception OF
1912 when it went Democratic for
the same reason that Ohio, North Da-
kota, and other rock-ribbed Republi.

1892. Its record with these excep-
tons since 1868 has been Republican.
When we consider Indiana, the stu

'SQUAW CAMP new
MERCEDES FEATURE
Officers Sending for Wives
Measured for Oyerc0ats-
NAV Mean Winter Stay

A "squaw camp is rapidly becom-
ing the outstanding feature OF Mer-
ceres, where the First North Dakota
Infantry has been stationed since last
July. A "squaw camp" it should be
explained, is the technical kiplinesque
name for the quarters set aside ad-
jacent to regular military encamp-
ment for the accommodation OF the
soldiers wives.
Adjutant General Tharalson an
nounced this week that Colonel j. H.
Frame has been joined by Mrs.
Frame; Mrs. p. G. Boyd of Hillsboro
has gone to the front to join Captain
Boyd, and the wives of other officers
from Grafton and the eastern part OF
the state are planning an early de-
parture for Mercedes.
While no one can state definitely
how long the boys will remain at the
front, the fact that so many officers
are sending for their better halves,
and the further circumstance that
everyone in the First is being measur-
ed for overcoats, is considered evil
dence that a long stay is in prospect.
On the other hand, some Of the men
in their letters home suggest that
the overcOats are to be furnished for
their protection when they enter
northerly climes en- route to North
Dakota, and that an early return Is
presaged by the issuing of this heavy
garment.
Among other officers whose wives
are now with them at Mercedes are
Adjutant 7. S. Henry Of Valley City.
Major Alex Fraser Of Fargo, Major
Patterson Of Lisbon, Captain Ritchey
Of Valley City and Captain Mclean
of kenmare. The ladies' are thor
ougkly enjoying the novel experience,
and have even become reconciled to
having their location dubbed "squaw
camp"

STATE PAYS SOME
BIG HALL LOSSES
Late j. B. stoddard Suffered
$4,144 Damage; Kyllones Of
Brockct Big Loser

Some Of the biggest hail losses in
the history of the state hail insurance
fund were adjusted during the year
ending October 10. The greatest
damage was reported by the late J. B.
Stoddard of Sentinel Butte, whose
loss was adjusted at $4,144, and allow
ed at 50 percent. or $1,574.72. The
second largest claim was that of John
Kyllones or Brockett, whose loss was
1886 and who will receive s1,267.6S
from the state fund. John A. Mclean
of Bottineau lost crops valued at
$3.50 and will be paid $1,124.S0
Bowman county had the largest
number Of hail losses for the year.
The claims ranged from So to $1,000,
and the amounts allowed from $3.O4 to
$4,000. Forty-four claims were pre-
scented for adjustment from Bowman.
Golden Valley county was heavy SUI.
ferer. and Eddy, Grand Forks, Benson,
Divide and Bottineau county report
ed an unusually large number Of
claims.
Good Year and Bad.
1t was a good year and bad one for
the state hail insurance fund. The
premiums collected-$33, 16.S2-were
in excess of those for any other year;
S45 policies were written, covering
risks totaling $4,000. But with only
$34,371.76 to spend, there were report
ed 257 losses, of which there were al
lowed $50, totaling $79,37l.76, and af-
ter deducting the cost Of adjustment
$1,692.l1, which equaled a cost of 2.13

remained only enough funds TO pay 80
per cent Of the loss allowed. There

ed $50, 161.26, and at the close of the
year there will remain on hand in

VIEWS Of STORY
Old Residents of State Find No
Truth in Saturday Evening
Post Article

North Dakotans are a unit in their
resentment OF the unfair article pub
lished in the last issue of The Sat
urday Evening Post under the title:
"The Hired Man-His Kick" Letters
are pouring into The Tribune office
from all parts OF the slope, and many
have written direct to George Horace
Lorimer, editor of the Post, and the
Curtis Publishing Co., Philadelphia,
Pa, it's publishers.
James A. Brown, a member OF the
board of control, and who came to
North Dakota as a farm hand, has
written the publishers:
During all the years in which |
have been a subscriber to the Satur-
day Evening Post, you have never
printed an article which so much dis
pleased me as did that carried in your
issue of October 49, entitled 1.-The
Hired Man-His Kick.
II base the assertion that his de-
scription of the country was incorrect
on twenty years. residence in the
state, most of that time in the ex-
IRENE northern part Of North Dakota,
where the thermometer registers
somewhat lower than in the vicinity
Of Bismarck, and have never wit
messed such extremes as he narrates.
IF the relator was refused employ
ment in other lines after having
worked as a hired man, it must have
been because OF some characteristic
peculiar to himself, and not from his
farm experience, as few men in this
state have not at some time labOred
on a farm. The writer during his
first year in North Dakota worked as
q hired man on farm in the north
ern part Of the state, and it has never
proven a disadvantage in getting a
farm or other things for which he
strove. .,...a .-. -....

NEW STYLE ADOPTED
FOR 1917 AUTO TAGS
POSSIBLE AMENDMENT

The prevailing fashion for 1917 aut-
omobile tags in North Dakota will be
black and white. The background OF
the new tags will be a glossy black,
with the letters IN. D." and the SER
ial number of the license countersunk
In white. Except for the fact that the
year will be different, the tags will
very closely resemble those Of the
present season, which are black and
yellow.
Possible Amendment.
The secretary of states Office is
making full preparations for its jan
uary tag sale at the old price Of SO, in
spite of the probability of the automo-
bile license law being radically chang
ed by the next legislature. Ordinarily,
there is no great rush for tags until
spring. In the ordinary course Of
events the new license law would be

beyond aid. Malnutrition was given
as the cause of death. The baby had

AFTER THE WAR

The London Chamber of Commerce
Is looking to the end of the war. In
a recent report on British industries
the Chamber recommends that, as the
first step toward coping with condi.
tons when peace is declared. all com.
mercial treaties now existing be-
tween Great Britain and other ma
tons shall be abrogated and that the
traditional doctrine of Cobdenism, or
free trade, shall be abandoned. There
shall then be set no a series of tariff
requirements which apply to nations
in groups and in accordance with their
friendliness to British interests and
in which the customs duties shall
range to very high percentage for
the purpose Of keeping out OF the
British market, goods from highly
competitive nations who do not rec
ognize the superior merit of doing
business with England on her own
terms.
These proposals seem to meet with
favor in the governing circles in
England; and if they are to be adopt
cd, the situation will present a prob.
lem of decidedly vexatious nature
for Americans.
The economic fallacies upon which
the Democratic party takes its stand
and the tariff legislation which the
Wilson administration and the Wilson
Congress have already adopted are
proof that the Democratic party is
incapable of dealing with any such
problem as is involved in the prom or
protection of American commercial
interests in the face of conditions
such as the London Chamber of
Commerce proposes.

When it comes to real doubtful

palm. The women's vote here will

Hughes seems to have the edge, be-

Montana split its vote and Wilson
