BANGS EXPECTS
LEAGUE HELP
State Chairman Byerly gives
Out Itinerary of
Speeches.

At the Democratic congressional
district headquarters, State Chairman
w. E. Byerly this afternoon announce
ed the itineracy of the Democratic
candidate for congress, Geo. A. Bangs.
Mr.. Byerly said that the present po-
litical situation in North Dakota is
m OF quite unusual interest. and that
the eyes of the nation are resting on
this state. He thought that local is
sues were of comparative insignih-
canoe just now; and. that a candidate
for congress really should be judged
according to his attitude toward the
Washington government.
THE American government" Mr..
Byerly said. has v been wrong.
1t is too late to discuss whether or
not we should enter the war. Tho
fact Is we are in it. And, mark my
word, we r in 1t to win. Our cam
didate stands for support of the presi-
dent and the whole government first,
last and all the time, and for this rea-
son we are very certain Of active and
generous support from not only the
Democratic party. but also from q
large number Of members Of the Nom
partisan league. rs a vote-puller Mr..
Bangs is, as anyone will realize. a
sure thing" considering the fact that
he pulled nearly $4,000 votes Of the
district last November. We have no
doubts. And we r working in full
confidence as to the Anal outcome on
the special election day"
Mr.. Byerly said that the complete
list of democratic campaign speakers
would be available soon. Today work
on Mr.. Bangs itinerary was complet-
ed. and the revised list follows here:
Today MI. Bangs speaks at Cando.
Towner county; Tuesday at Crary and
Devils Lake in Ramsey county; We'd
nesday evening at Aneta, Nelson coun-
ty; Thursday evening at Hillsboro.
Trail county. Friday and Saturday
and Monday touring Walsh county,
and Monday, at Park River in the
evening. On July 8, MI. Bangs will
address a meeting at Hannah, Cava-
lier county, and July 4, at Olga, and
Walhalla, Pembina county. The two
following days will be spent in Penn
bina and Walsh counties with ad-
dresses at Grafton and Mimic, and
on the 7th, a democratic mass meet
ing will be held in Fargo.
The campaign will wind up with an
address by Mr. Bangs at the Grand
Forks auditorium in the evening of
July 9-the day before the election.
Tracy r. Bangs will also dc some
campaigning. and so far the follow
ing rout has been mapped out for
him: Langdon, June 81; Cavalier
county, June 20; Cass county. June 30,
and Richland county, June 30.
