DOYLE IS MAKING
: GOOD ON STUMP
HIS ADDRESS At ELLENpALE
MADE FINE IMPRESSION
Goes Into Matters That Are Before
People of State-Shows Up
Socialistic Schemes

Owing to the board of health order
the address of Hon. S. ]. Doyle cam
didate for governor. was not held in
Oakes Monday afternoon as adver-
tised Mr.. Doyle arrived in the city
about 4:3C, being brought here from
LaMoure by II. II. Perry. national
committeeman and F. l.. Walker of
Glendale. He only had time to hur-
riedly meet a few of the people about
the city.
The closing order not yet having
gone into effect at Glendale about
twenty people went from here for the
evening meeting. The opera house
was we'll filled to hear Mr.. Doyle. who
was introduced by Hon. Geo. H.
of Dickey county.
Mr.. Doyle spoke for over two hours
and held the rapt attention of his
audience throughout This was the
fifty-eighth address he had made in
this campaign, and while his voice
was little husky at the start he soon
had it going in "high" and closed with
peroration that was splendid.
In his address he uncovered the
nest of Socialists that were in power
in this state. Walter Thomas Mills.
who does not own dollars worth Of
property in North Dakota, has been
going up and down the state since
January preaching the doctrines and
sowing the poison of Socialism. He
is doing this at a fat salary. put at
the figure of $1,000 per month. He
wants the program of the League put
in operation in this state, but when
the state is mortgaged for $4,000, 600
or more, the sky being the limit, how
much will this Berkeley, Cal, man
pay Of it? Not one dollar. How much
will A. c. Townley pay? Not one dol
lar. His home is now in st. Paul and
he can not be reached.
He showed how Mills had run The
Peoples College of Fort Scott, Kan.
of which Arthur LeSueur was a pro-
duct. as was Mrs. Kate O'Hare. con-
victed of sedition in the federal court
at Bismarck. for socialistic utterances.
The latter was also chairman of the
last national Socialist convention at
st. Louis that declared for hindrance
Of war work, and which has been rat
flied second time not over sixty
days ago.
The speaker took up House Bill No.
"A, written by Attorney LeSueur. and
explained some of the amendments to
the constitution that would come IL
carried into effect. One amendment
raised the debt limit of the state from
100000 to an unlimited amount. An
other struck patriotism" and "moral-
ity" from Section 147, Article 8. re-
lating to education. These words
have no place in a Socialistic con-
stitution.
Collective ownership of lands and
the Single Tax system were explained
and condemned as against the best
interests of our state. Just think of
a farmer with every modern conven-
fence in his home, fine barns and
! silos, his fields under best kind of
fence. to just pay towards the support
of the state the same amount of taxes
as the man with the hut, with the
sod barn and with no fence to speak
of.
Mr.. Doyle's address was fair
presentation of the issues now before
the people of North Dakota. No one
could hear him without being con-
vinced that he is the right caliber of
man to be our state executive. He is
in perfect accord with President Will
son, man in whom the whole world
is looking for guidance at this time.
