ARUNDEL ADDRESSES
 NATIVES

A meeting was called at the government school building Mon- day evening by the teacher for the purpose of giving the Natives an opportunity to discuss their land problems with MT. c. R. Arundel, trustee for the Wrangell townsite.
 The school building was crowded. Mir. William Lewis acted as inter- preter out of courtesy to the half dozen old people in the audience. Mir. Arundel, who is Chief of the Field Division of the U. S.. General Land office, was thoroughly familiar with the question that was before the meeting. He spoke clearly and to the point, bringing his hearers to better understand ing of the land laws, and incident ally incurring their deepest grati. tude and thanks.
 MT. Arundell explained that the first step necessary for a Native to secure patent to land was to make duplication for citizenship. The Alaska legislature in 1915 passed a law in accordance with an Act of Congress giving the Natives the right to make application for citi- zenship. The applicant must swear that he has for all time reDounced all tribal customs and relationship. A majority of the teachers in the government school must first pass on the applicants fitness. Then five white citizens of the United States who have been permanent residents of Alaska for more than one year must certify that they have been personally acquainted with the life and habits of the ap. plicant for more than one year, and that in their opinion he has at,an- doned all tribal customs and rela- tionship and is duly qualified to exercise the rights. priveleges and obligations of citizenship.
 The application then passes to the clerk of the district court who issues notice oi such application which must be posted in the post office for sixty days. Hearing may thed be had before the district judge.
 After Native acquires citizen ship he has the right to ask for a survey of his land after which a patent to the land will be issued to him.
 Natives not becoming citizens may still retain their possessory rights.
 The discussion that followed was

BALLOTS TO The
ABSENT VOTERS

County Auditor C. w. Nelson wishes
to call the attention of those having
soldier boys in any camp in this coun-
try to give him the address of that
soldier boy together with his COM
pany and regiment number so that he
can send him an absent ballot. This
must be done very soon as we are
practically only two weeks or so from
the general election and it takes sew
eral days each way for these docu-
ments to go and come. Many have
already done this and absent ballots
are coming in. In addition to the ad-
dress the auditor wants the precinct
number where this voter would vote
if he was home-in other words his
regular voting precinct in Barnes
county. Do this at once. Every, SOL
der boy a legal veter is entitled to
vote the sbsent; ballot i, he il il. this
country and I ballot can be got to him.

THE ELECTION PROSPECTS

Many people who are opposed to
socialism are thinking it is no use to
fight. This is mistake. The mill
tary records of this state show that
there are over $4,000 men entitled to
vote in North Dakota. Many sold
iers' votes will not return in time to
be counted, but there will still be
enough to make North Dakota's total
vote more than 100000 on election
day, that means the defeat of those
constitutional amendments that are
dangerous and the election of S. j.
Doyle for governor.
Every man was asked to vote for
Frazier in the primary and they rolled
up only $4,000; $4,000 voted for
Steen; 10000 for the democratic can
didate and 10000 did not vote at all
although they were asked by the Fraz-
ier supporter to vote. These will vote
for Doyle and against the amendments
if they are made to realize that their
vote is needed to carry election the
way they want it to 60.

MOURNING
BRASSARDS

The local chapter of the Red Cross
has received a limited number of
Mourning Brassards, designed by the
Red Cross and approved by the gov
ernment, to be given to parents, wild
ows and children of the men who have
laid down their lives in the service
of the country. The Brassard is an
arm band of black broadcloth, three
inches wide, to be worn on the left
sleeve. On this band is fastened
gold star It is an appropriate and
dignified though simple emblem, fit
ting tribute of the nation to the loved
ones of it's soldiers and sailors who
have laid down their lives as a sacri-
flee for the protection and the ideals
of their country. 1t is right and
proper that those, who in the loss of
their loved ones have given that which
is most dear to them for the good of
the nation, should in some such way
be recognized and honored by the
nation and be distinguished in the
community in which they live.
The Brassards will be furnished
without charge to widows and parents
of deceased soldiers and sailors, and
to other immediate members of the
family they will be furnished at cost.
The Civilian Relief Committee is
charged with the distribution Of these
tokens of the nations regard and SYM

We have sought to compile list of
the men of our country who have died

DRIFTING TO
SOCIALISM

Glendale, N. D., Oct. %. - The
Dickey County Joint Campaign Com
mittee has adopted newspaper public
ity by means of obtaining results in
this campaign, and has raised fund
among farmers and business men for
the purpose of advertising space in
which to set forth their message.
Each week until the election two full
columns in every newspaper in the
county will be devoted to the issues.
The first of these is headed, ''Drift-
ing to Socialism Through Class Pre-
judice."
"Our people have been too busy
gathering their record-paying crop
this fall to bother much with politics.
But now that outside work is about
cleaned up the coming election, and
questions it will settle, will gather
more interest as we approach it on
Nov. 5th. This is an election in
which all should be vitality interested,
as policies are being shaped that will
augment or retard the future pros
perity of our great commonwealth
says the committee in its first adver-
tisenaent."
''The leaders of the Socialistic move
ment in North Dakota are not doing
it through Socialistic propaganda, but
their success so far has come by ap-
pealing to class prejudice-a preju-
dice that cannot last, if the cities and
country alike are to be built up.
.'It is not question of whether the
policies of the democratic or republi-
can parties shall prevail. It is ques-
ton of whether we shall accept the
doctrine of socialism, as applied by
Debs. Mills, LeSeuer, Townley and
Bowen, or accept the democratic prin-
ciples as laid down by Wilson, Roose-
welt, Taft Burke and Doyle.
"Present day socialism is built a
great deal after the order of Big Bus
mess, 1t matters not what the label
is so they can control the men who
make the laws. Here in North Dakota
we have the socialists operating under
the guise of the republican party,
while in Idaho, they masquerade un-
derthe name Of the democratic party.
They have discovered in their many
campaigns that the label socialist
party has not been a rallying banner,
and that their new line of attack has
been quite successful since taking on
the color of nonpartisanism.
1T is we'll remembered how year
ago and two years ago the l. w. WIS
became menace to this country. How
they took possession of trains and in
Inundated cities. It is not forgotten
either, how under the instructions of

DEATH CLAIMS !. !.
FOUR VICTIMS

The death of Miss Palma Davidson,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter G.
Davidson occurred Monday in this
city. The primary cause of death per-
haps is due in a way to influenza which
led to heart trouble and finally caus-
ed her death. The real fact of the
matter is that Miss Davidson has
worked herself to death. She was a
nurse and has been working so hard
looking after the sick that her health
was run down and she has paid the
supreme sacrifice from devotion to
duty. She was young lady of many
fine qualities and her death comes as
a distinct shock to the family and to
the large circle of friends and neigh
bors of the Davidsons. The deceased
has brother in France who will not
learn of the death of this good sister
perhaps for a long time and the news
he will receive in the battle fields of
France will not help cheer him up.
But he is a soldier and as such will
take this blow just like any soldier
would. The Times Record deeply
sympathizes with the bereaved FAM
lily. Funeral arrangements have not
vet been made.
