FAMILY LOST IN STORM.

The coasting schooner F. A. Daven-

town. During the severe storm raging
in that. vicinity the ship was driven on
submerged coral reefs. The officers and
crew were rescued by the Transport

conventions; he is looked upon with
suspicion by the other members of
the board Of directors because he is
a republican. He is therefore ready
to resign, and it is likely that his
resignation will be sent this week.
The Normanden then goes on to
say that Louis Noltemier of Valley
City is the most likely candidate for
governor, while there also is some
talk of Stem Nelson of Finley and
continues:
barrow is Called
Let us again return to the social
istic tendencies Of the league. The
first great speaker which will be i'm
ported into the state will be Attorney
Clarence barrow of Chicago, one of
the greatest socialist speakers in the
country. Since he tried to bride the
jury in the case against the McNa-
mara brothers he has in turn ap-
peared as socialist speaker and as
lecturer against prohibition. He has
travelled much in the pay of the
Liquor Dealers association and is
billed to speak against prohibition in
the now pending campaign in Mon
tana.
Slack Business Principles
The Non-Partisan league is not in
corporated under the laws Of North
Dakota or any other state, but ex-
lists as a partnership pure and
simple. Thereby everyone, or nobody
as the case may be, is responsible
for the transactions entered into by
the league.
There have been published several
Estimates" on the number of mem
bers in the league as we'll as on the
capital at it's disposal. The capital
has been estimated up to a quarter
of a million dollars, which, then, is
donated by the people of the state in
amounts varying in size from $500
to 5000. The membership fee is
now 5000.
A quarter Of a million dollars, is,
however, most likely too high an es-
innate. $15O,O00 will perchance come
nearer the truth. The organ and the
agents of the league do not speak
of how much money they have taken
in. They only talk in a general way
about the membership. If one asks
about matters of finance, one gets no
answer at all, or they beat around
the bush.
Has the people of North Dakota
no right to ask what is being done
with all these thousands of dollars ?
In conclusion the Normanden asks
who is financing the $4,000 plant of
the Non-Partisan Leader? Who con-
trolls this great property?
