AND HORSE
IN FRIGHTFUL COLLISION

A frightful accident occurred on the
race track about two o'clock last Tues
dcy afternoon. Arthur Leblanc, son
cf Fremance Leblanc of Baxter
township and his two sisters, Misses
Clara and Emma Leblanc, and Ar
thur Charbonneau and Miss A. Van
dal, were driving in Maxwell car
around the track, when they were ov-
ertaken by another car whose driver
tried to pass them. Both chauffeurs
were driving at high speed, when
suddenly they saw man on horse
back right in front of them. The rid
er turned his horse so as to avoid the
first car, but in doing SO ran into the
car driven by Arthur Leblanc. The
shock was so violent the rider was
thrown from his horse and fell at the
side of the race track. The horse
struck one of the front wheels of the
car. smashing the windshield and the
ton of the car and doing considerable
other damage. The Misses Leblanc
were both rendered unconscious and
were taken to DR.. Verret's office at
once. The rider of the horse, who
was Jack Nelson the colored man VINO
has been working around Narcotic &
Favreau's meat market for some tlme'
was also picked up and taken to Dr.
Verret's office. Upon examination II
was found that Clara Leblanc had ner
r;uht collar bone broken, and had al
SO received a painful injury from a
splinter Of wood which pierced the
muscles of the neck. Emma Leblanc
was stunned, but not seriously hurt
Jack Nelson had his face terribly cut
and two of his ribs were dislocated.

that he was shot the next day. Inc

This proving Of Mr.. Watson being
in the wrong perhaps is what the
Herald refers to as being the insults
hurled at him. The Herald also tried
to infer that Mr.. Coates displayed
great anxiety over the actions of Mr..
Townley, which is another wrong i'm
preston. Mr.. Coates remained in his
seat smiling.
The meeting was attended by al
most only city people and the fact
that the crowd was to large extent
with Mr.. Townley is very pleasing
indeed. I am not a member of the
league but am a believer in govern
ment for the people and by the peo-
pie.

BAER WINS BY
BIG MAJORITY
Candidate for Congress
in First District Has Major
ity of About 1000.

With few more precincts to hear
from, all Of which are expected to
give Baer majorities, John M. Baer,
the Nonpartisan League candidate for
congress in the first district, defeat
ed O. B. Burtness by plurality that
may exceed four thousand. Complete
returns may show that Baer received
more votes than all the other six
candidates on the ticket combined.
Handicapped by the support of such
recognized gang leaders as Jerry Ba-
con, Jim Shea, Judge Young and 9TH
ers, Burtness was running under a
disadvantage. Despite the efforts
to make it appear that the Nonparti-
sans were flocking to Burtness and
thus stampede the farmer vote, it is
very plain from the results of the elec-
tion that the farmers "stuck" as nev-
er before.
Baer has carried ten and possibly
eleven of the twelve counties in the
district. With nineteen precincts
missing his total vote is 12,815, as
against 5000 for Burtness and 1910
for Bangs. Aaker, Cuthbert, Plain
and Wick received only scattering
vote.
One gratifying feature of the cleo
tion was the splendid vote accorded
Baer in the cities and former stall
wart strongholds. He carried the city
of Fargo and Cass county by hand
some majorities. He also carried
Richmond and Ransom counties, both
former stalwart counties.
The result of the election is great
victory for the Nonpartisan cause and
illustrates the repeated assertions that
the "league is going to pieces" Tues
days election in the first district
proves conclusively that the league
is stronger than ever, and in the very
section Of the state where it has been
claimed it was losing out.

ANOTHER HERALD LIE SAYS
MAN WHO WAS PRESENT

Editor Courant:-Having attended
the meeting in the Grand Forks aud
itorium July 5th, I believe I am in a
position to tell the truth concerning
that meeting. The meeting had not
been announced until the noon Of July
9Th and the location of the meeting
was changed twice because of the
weather conditions. In spite Of the
rain much larger number Of people
attended the league meeting than the
Burtness meeting the evening be-
fore. The Grand Forks Herald states
that Mr.. Townley hurled insults at
the Rev. Jonathan Watson, which is
not so. The Herald states that Town
ley shouted at the minister, "Who
the hell do you represent" which is
an absolute lie. That statement is
the rankest kind of falsehood and
the writer can produce witnesses
who will swear that it is lie.
If the Rev. Watson had acted the
part Of gentleman in the matter
he would not have interfered with
the speaker. How would his Rever-
ence like to have someone interfere
with him when he is preaching SER
mon? Yet a person would have just
as much right to enter Mr.. Watson's
church and Interfere with his sermon
as to interfere with Mr.. Townley. Mr..
Townley had rented and paid for the
hall. Mr.. Watson is a believer in that
old be-whiskered joke, the law Of sup
ply and demand, and claimed that
the reason that the large corporations
Of the country have made more pro-
fits since the war started was because
Of the demand. Mr.. Townley proved
that the supply and demand had
nothing to do with the high cost of
living and quoted food-overseer Hooy-

APPROVE PLAN |
FOR FARM HELP
Meeting at Minot Ratifies Plan
Worked Out BY Labor Depart
ment and League for Help.

Minot, N. D., July 11.-More than
200 delepates and members attended
the Nonpartisan league meeting here
this afternoon to discuss the matter
of proposed arrangement between
the Agricultural Workers. Industrial
union and the members of the Non
partisan league for the securing of
farm labor to harvest and thresh this
falls crop of grain.
L. L. Stair called the meeting to
order and President A. C. Townley ex-
planned the arrangement would apply
to only those members of the League
who desired to avail themselves Of it.
He stated that this year labor would
be scarce and unless some agreement
was entered into with the organiza-
tion of farm laborers that it may be
impossible to secure help to harvest
the crops. He read the proposed un-
derstanding as to wages and working
conditions as arranged between COM
mittees representing the organized
workers and League and emphasized
the fact that no permanent alliance
was aimed at but purely business
arrangement for farm help during
the coming harvest season.
He explained further that four geo.
eral meetings were merely being held
to discuss the matter and to either
recommend to the membership ap-
proval or rejection of the plan as the
entire arrangement was to be sub
mitted to a referendum vote of the
membership of the League within the
state of North Dakota even after the
referendum vote, the arrangement
would only apply to those farme ers
who voted for it and those against it
would be left free to make their own
arrangement for labor as no effort
was being made to make it compulsory
on any member to accept the decision
Of the League.
The schedule of wages and rules for
working conditions will not be made
public until after the meetings to be
held at Valley City, Bismarck and
Devils Lake has discussed the same.s
A general discussion Of the subjest
was indulged in by J. N. Hagan, state
commissioner of agriculture and labor
and C. H. Whipple of the committee
representing the League with the
farm laborers, who recommended a
method providing for certain and or
derly supply of labor.
, Ray Craig, sheriff of Benson county,
discussed the past labor situations
and he favored the arrangement as
tending to avoid the industrial dis
turbances of former harvest seasons.
Many of the members and delegates
discussed the matter in all it's phases
and there was a surprising spirit of
harmony and effort to get together
with organized workers for the labor
supply and to avoid the serious fric-
tions of the past.
Members were surprised and graf
flied at the fairness of the agreement,
which was much more liberal than the
opposition newspapers to the league
had set forth and on motion of Wen
dali Houston the gathering recon-
mended the suggested arrangement by
a vote of 100 to 10.

OUR FINANCIAL GROWTH

An account of the recent growth Of
the United States in financial or
banking power reads more like a
fairy tale thau 9 sober recital of fact.
The national banks at SO, $40, ,o0o, 900
have increased their resources by
over IS per cent ia two years. They
have more than doubled their re-
sources within ten years. The num-
Der of The depositors at Ia 800. 900
has increased Sc per cent within six
years.
But this is only half the story.
While national banks number 1910,
there are some 20, 600 other banks to
be considered. The total resources
Of both national and state banks are
S@2 800, 0oQ,oo0 are about double what
they We're ten years ago and 20 per
cent more ban Just before the Euro
pean war broke ont Their cash on
hands IS almost $4,000, 600, 600, and
the greater part of this is gold.
But these dgures of growth call for
wider comparison TO bring out their
wonderful magnitude. AS the comp
troIler of the currency finds the in
crease Of Sc 600 900, 600 in our BANK
ing resources within the past sixteen
months is $1,000, 900, 600 more than
the entire resources of the banks Of
England and France combined, and
is double lhe combined resources of
the German richsbank and the bank
OF Italy. Our total banking resources
are 5000 600 coo, more than double
the aggregate resources of all the
