SPORTSAND0RATORY
AT FARMERS PICNIC
CLEMENT WINS FROM WRIGHT IN
BALL GAME
League Speaker Makes Lengthy Ad.
dress and criticises Senator
Zieman for His Stand In
Legislative Matters

Thursday was our busy day and we
were unable to attend the farmers pic
mic held at the Anderson grove, eight
miles northwest of the city. From re-
ports there was large attendance and
the program of sports kept the crowd
interested. The Oakes band was on
deck to assist D. M. Thomasson of
Fargo in making the noise. On solici-
tation of the farmers committee Oakes
business men contributed small prizes
to the winners of the races and other
contests, the list of winners not being
available.
o. M. Thomasson. the League speak
er, gave lengthy address, which was
well received. He scored in singing
his verses, "The Soul of Forty-Four,"
meaning House Bill "A. which met the
demands of the League in the last ses-
sion of the legislature and killed when
it reached the senate. He told how
the Drown state weighing and grading
act was designed to keep the elevator
men from raising" grain in their ele-
vators, very profitable species of
farming, which has been followed to a
considerable extent in North Dakota,
many of the grain warehouses selling
from 5000 to 10000 more bushels than
they bought, according to reports filed
in the Office of the state commissioner
of agriculture and labor. He criticised
Senator Zieman right among his own
neighbors for the stand he took against
the league at the last legislative ses-
sion. Mr.. Thomasson spoke at the
picnic in VanMeter's grove east of Ell
lendale on Saturday and reiterated his
remarks there in regard to the SEN
ator. The League and Senator Zieman
are plainly at outs. :
The ball'game between Clement and
Wright was uninteresting in that it
was one-sided. 1t ended something
like 81 to 2 in favor of Clement. c.
Enger and Bowerman were at the
points for Clement and Hemminger
and Montgomery for Wright.
