;. Burtness Farmers Candidate.
Olger B. Burtness, the Republican
nominee for congress from the First
district, spoke this morning at Maple
ton, Casselton and Wheatland In Cas-
county, and this afternoon he lis
scheduled to deliver addresses at Buff
falo. Alice. Chafree and Leonard. To-
the Oldest Norwegian congregation
celebrates its forty-ifth anniversary.
Mr.. Burtness yesterday toured Trail
county and was everywhere received
with hearty and spontaneous applause
which promises we'll for the final re-
suit on July 10. 1t is noticeable that
he attracts not only members Of his
own party, but also league men and
Democrats who in many localities pre-
fer him to any other candidate on the
ground that he. il familiar with the
needs of the farmers and understands
their way Of thinking and reasoning.
Reports coming In yesterday and to-
day from Trail and Cass counties in
dlcate9 that Mr.. Burtness surely and
steadily advances in popularity with
the farmers because they know that
from the pedestal of a theorizer, but
that he is actually in live and constant
contact with the demands and the de-
! sires of the tillers of the soil.
Farmers Should BE Represented In
Congress.
The campaign has 1t seems, sim
mered down to a fight between Mr.
Burtness and Mr.. Baer. and while the
Republican candidate does not indulge
in SANDER or belittling Of his oppon-
ent, he seeks the votes Of the district
on the ground that he alone Of all
candidates in the field Is thoroughly
familiar with the farming population
Of the district. He has made 1t a
point not to attack any farmers or
ganization. But he refuses to believe
that the leaders of the Nonpartisan
league are playing a fair game with
the farmers. The rank and file OF
cording to a statement made by nv
Burtness yesterday. Many Of the
members are among, the very buHr alu
the most intelligent farmers OF the
Northwest. And, consequently, the
supporters Of MI. Burtness argue thai
it is in the interest Of every tiller Of
the soil to have one of their W. rep.
resentatiy.es sent to congress-one who
was born on a farm, who has spent
all his years of adolescence and youth
on a farm and who still is actively in.
terested in farming. being the owner
of much North Dakota soil.
It Is possible that Mr.. Burtness will.
arrive here some time this evening OF
tomorrow. spending Sunday here prior
to continuing his campaign in Penn
bina county where he Ia scheduled tt
speak on Monday.

rotary Of the Burtness headquarters

Jake Shafer of Chicago Is
Adopted by Billiard
Champion.

When Willie Hoppe announced sew
eral months since that he would take
young Jake Sehaefer, of Chicago, IN
der his wing as a member Of the
Hoppe = Peterson Wright Scasefer
troupe Of exhibition billiardists, it was
predicted that some day Hoppe would
have Schaefer to reckon with in de-
Tending his crown of worlds balk line
champion.
Whether Hoppe was aware OF the
youngsters great skill or even
dreamed of his ever being a cham
pionship possibility is not known. but
the fact remains Schaefer has almost
arrived, If he is not already there, as
a candidate for titular honors.
It was pointed out that Hoppe
learned much Of his billiards from
Schaefer's father, late wizard Of the
cue.- with whom he Travelled on ex-
hibition tours. and now it seems his
tory may repeat itself.
