N. P.'s MEET.

A meeting of the Nonpartisan
league was held in the opera house
Tuesday afternoon at which there was
large attendance, mostly foreign
born. We made it point to ask sew
eral what was to take place, and, in
varibly the answer was that it was a
"war-speech. This idea no doubt
influenced many in attending. How
ever, the talk by Fritz Argast and an
other league organizer proved to be
pretty much the usual song and dance
Of half-truths and insinuations. "A
telegram was sent to Washington de-
manding minimum of 81. so for
wheat. sixteen dollars" was the
foundation all the way through of
Argast's talk, and it was easy to see
what was of the most prime import
ance to the speaker, at least.
A meeting was scheduled for Stras-
burg in the evening, but Red Cross
meeting the same night proved to be
the most popular. There was large
attendance at the Red Cross meeting,
but when the League performance
started after the conclusion Of the
other. only handful Of men stayed.

Last winter broke record for cold

and also thousands of French and
Belgian refugees being returned
through Switzerland and France.
Every one here looks to America.
Begin shipping at once one million
five hundred thousand I,5O0.O00
each of warm knitted woolen articles

shortage of fuel and other discom-
forts they will be of incredible values
In both military and civilian work.

SUFFRAGE WORKER TO
ATTEND MEETING AT
r. NATIONAL CAPITOL

The latter part of this month, Mrs.
Charles F. Moller, congressional!
chairman of the Minnesota Equal
Suffrage association, will go to Wash
ington to attend a meeting of the Ma
tional association to discuss and take
action on the present situation COM
corning the United States and Ger
many. =
In speaking of the suffrage move
ment in Minnesota, Mrs. Moller IN an
interview with the Pioneer said:
1--WE are not working for the con-
stitutional amendment for woman
suffrage in this state. The right to
vote for president and vice president
can be granted by the state leg1sla-
ture and this bill is the one we are
working for
Mrs, Moller went on to say that
constitutional amendment would
have to be submitted to the voters at
the next election and and would re-
ouire a majority of all votes cast to
secure it's passage. Those not voting
for or against the amendment Is
counted as vote against. This makes
it next to impossible to pass an
amendment which has any organized
opposition.
1--WE feel that to do the cause
Justice we want to do more education
al work in the state before submitting
an amendment to the voters"
Mrs. Moller says that there is a
strong suffrage sentiment in Beltrami
county. A great many of the leading
men of the city are writing Senator
now and Representative Pendergast
asking them to support the presiden-
tial bill in the legislature"
