to compromise with interests seeking
to grasp resources of the nation,
and charged with refusing to take &C.

their rights in the public domain, in
an address delivered here tonight by
Clifford Pinchot, who was chief fOres-
ter under President Roosevelt and one
OF the founders Of the national pro-
gressive party.
Sought Compromise.
"President Wilson has gone so far as
to propose to the conservation forces
that they make a compromise with the
opposition forces that are attempting
to grasp the resources of the nation
for their own benefit" declared Pin
chot, to an audience which filed the
knights of Columbus hall. Wilson,
Pinchot charged, made such proposal
in his speech accepting the nomina'
tion for the presidency, when he called
on the conservation forces and private
interests to reach an agreement for
the advancement of the cause"
Can be no Compromise.

nothing in General Funston's dis

Agriculturist,
ATTACKS UNFAIR METHOD
OF GRADING STATE GRAIN

The Hon. Lynn J. Frazier address
ed one of the largest crowds which
ever assembled in Tappan yesterday
in a strong plea for closer co-Opera-
ton between the business man and
the farmer and between country and
city. The next governor was the
principal speaker at the dedication OF
the new Farmers Union hall, and the
huge amphitheatre was filled with
people who came from miles around
to hear the Republican leader.
Frazier dwelt upon the dependence
of the farmer and the merchant upon
one another, showing that when times
are bad on the farm they are bad in
the shop. He devoted some time to
the farmers complaint against the
method employed in grading grain in
Minneapolis, stating that good North
Dakota No. 1 Hard wheat is mixed
with other grades at the mills, and
that Minnesota is given the credit for
quality. He also mentioned reports
that have shown the resales of more
No. 1 North Dakota hard wheat than
was purchased, indicating a mixing
of grades after their receipt in Min
nesota.
For Hughes and m'cumber.
The Republican state standard

enroute to Bismarck last evening. He
repeated his stand for the Republi-
can tickets, national and state, and
declared that Hughes and McCumber
will have his whole-hearted support.

tai City and this morning he will
leave for jamestown. where he re-
