THE FATE OF MINOR PARTIES

The New York Post, which is published at a sufficient
distance from the scene of operations to be free from
local bias in the matter. has the following comment on
the recent history Of the Nonpartisan league in it's re-
laton to the history Of other parties which have sprung
up suddenly, to disappear almost as suddenly:
The Nonpartisan league, which suddenly doomed up
in North Dakota two years ago as a new political factor,
has just been through two battles. The first, in Mime
sofa. it lost, when its candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for governor was defeated by the present incun1-
bent OF the Office. The other, in the state OF its origin,
it has won. It's candidate for denomination, Governor
frazier. swept the boards in 1916. receiving more than
four times as many votes as his Democratic opponent.
The power Of the league was further shown by the
plurality of 1900 for Senator McCumber and more
strikingly by the plurality Of 100 for Wilson, whom it
supported secretly while processing no interest in the
national contest, with the exception Of Mccumber's run
for reelection to the Senate. No such plurality as
Frazier received had ever been seen in the State. His
opponent poled only half Of the normal Democratic
vote. The outcome Of this weeks primaries is to present
the voters squarely with the choice between retaining
the league in power and ousting It, since the Democrats
gave their, nomination for governor to a candidate who
was opposed to the candidate Of the league.
Governor Frazier's immense plurality in 1916 will
allow him to lose more than a third Of his vote and yet
be reelected. At the Same time, the fact that he won re-
nomination only after a more vigorous opposition than
he had when the league arose will make observers slow
to predict a repetition OF 1916. Why, they will ask,
should not events have moved In the opposite direction ?
Why should not the farmers have displayed greater ease
in retaining power than they showed ~ winning it7 In
stead OF several candidates In the primaries, as in 1916,
when the leagues candidates obtained more votes than
an the rest put together, there were just two Republican
for nomination for governor this time. ana
the issue between them was the league. SO far were the
goaacers of the League from oyer-conhdence that they

LIFE OF CIRCUS GRn
HEALTHY AND NORMAL
Youth and Beauty Not Only Quail
ficatjons for Feminine Artists.

The Unsuitable desire Of the stage
for young and pretty girls. even II
without noteworthy talent, does not
have a counterpart with the circus
Unfortunately for these innumerable
recruits for the stage, youth and
beauty do not survive. and when
these two qualities are not coupled
with ability Of a decided order, these
girls find themselves miserably afoat
in the hotsam and jetsan Of great
cities.
Veterans Of the Hasenbeck -wallaee
Circus, which comes to Grand Forks
on Thursday, July II declare they
have never known Of a corresponding
instance amidst the life of the white
tops. There are about 1000 employees
with the Hagenbeck- Wallace show,
nearly 400 of whom are women.
As a matter, Of fact, the majority OF
circus girls IRE the most refreshing
the h%ealthiest and the cleanest mind
ed young women ever assembled to-
gether. Many Of the so-called girls
are married women with young
daughters and sons, who are also with
the circus: There Is little difference
between the girls Of the circus and
in comfortable, refined homes. excep,
that the life Of the circus girl is in
the open, whore she has a better op.
portunity TO develop both physically
and mentally.
Life behind the red curtain which
separates thu dressing rooms from the
rest of the circus is not unlike that OF
a big family in camp. Here the WON.
en- do their sewing, their laundry
their reading and writing and the In
structing Of their young children. No.
body molests them, no profanity il
allowed to reach their ears, and the
atmosphere In which they live is az
refined and respectable az It would be
in the best-reguiated home. Circu.
folks are honne.loying. family people
at heart and not at all like the mis-.
guided public Is prone to consider
them.
Many entire families. Ringing from
grandparents to yeAr-old children,
travel with the Hagenbeck.Wallace
Circus and enjoy all the comforts and
privacy of home life. In some Of the
ring acts three generations Of . tamil,
are performing at the same time.
