the absolute authenticity Of the charges
made by the Republican state central
committee chairman.
about two weeks ago made the
statement that the hackers Of Mr.;
Doyle had raised a gigantic slush fund
by illegal methods and were deliberate
ly trying to debauch the electorate OF
this state" said Mr.. Lemke.
Both Mr.. Doyle and his campaign
manager, w. E. Byerly, made q great
show Of virtuous indignation, disputed
my assertion, and challenged me to
produce my evidence.
Says Evidence 10 Conclusive
IT am now producing it. and it is not
mere hearsay or rumor, but evidence
that is admissible In court Of law and
which will absolutely prove to any
open-minded person that / spoke the
literal and absolute truth when
managers were collecting an illegal
slush fund which was being used In an
attempt to mislead the electorate Of
this state.
furthermore, have not waited un-
til the eve Of election before producing
this evidence, but am making it public
ten days before the people go to the
polls. so that Mr.. Doyle, Mr.. Byerly
and Mr.. Nelson win have every oppor-
tunity to answer and explain this seri-
Gus charge.
Solicited During Liberty Loan
IT meant exactly what said when
stated that their hackers went about
the state during the Fourth Liberty
Loan drive illegally soliciting funds
for the unpatriotic purpose Of attempt
ing to corrupt the electorate, and / also
meant what said when I stated that
IN some cases they used methods OF
collection that bordered upon coercion.

Mr.. Lemke has in his possession
several instalments OF these "edi-
torial suggestions" referred to in
Mr.. Nelson's letter, many OF which i
were widely published by Old
Gang papers thruout the state az
editorials. Mr.. Lsmke also stated
last night that he had list, Of the

fore proper authorities.

irony he addresses as the "Indepen-

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


We believe that you are and
asking you to discard all ideas
that would hinder you from pas
sing impartial judgment we in
vite your attention for a con-
sideration Of the merits and de-
merits of the candidates for the
highest educational office in the
state.
Space and time are the only
limits to the mention of definite
accomplished progress.
Do you know that the rural
schools of the state received
$125, 100000 more under the pre-
sent law than they have ever
done before?
That the schools would have
received an increased amount if
a bill introduced by Stair had
not been killed by the senate?
We mention some of the CAM
paign lies concerning Mcdonald
told only in certain localities and
to certain classes Of people: That
he is responsible for the law CIV
ing high school graduates GER
tificates without taking the ex-
animation; that he refuses to
give teachers certificates who
are we'll qualified if they have
not completed a high school
course. This law has not been
changed since 1911 (see Sec.
1869 of general school laws).
In certain neighborhoods in
which Catholics were in pre-
dominance Mcdonald has been
reported to be opposed to Cath
olicism and to be refusing cer-
tificates to Catholics, while in
other places where nearly all
were Lutherans some disciple
of Ananias has told that he was
a Catholic and was trying to
work Catholicism into our
schools.
These are only a sample of the
many stories that have been in
vented, but we refrain from con-
tinuing the list.
We wish to call your attention
to the qualifications of his op-
ponent. AS far as her refine
ment, character, culture, ETC.,
are concerned, nothing has ever
been said against her. Do these
qualifications alone fit her for
the highest educational office in
the state? Mr.. Voter, your wife
also has these same qualities. Is
she capable of filling the office OF
public instruction?
It has been many times stat
ed and never denied that Miss
Nelson has never finished any
normal course, nor university.
If this is the case then according
to present standards she would
not be capable of filling many OF
the school positions in Bottineau
Some Of Miss Nelson's
adherents say that "qualifica-
tions are not important" What
do YOU think about it? When
you engage a lawyer, a doctor,
an engineer or any other profess
sional person do you DO so SIM
Div on their "good looks, and
pleasing personality" You may
have chosen your wife on these
points alone and been sorry fol
It but we feel sure that you WI
draw the line there. What about
McDonald's qualifications? a
man who has worked his owl
way thru the Mayville norma
and the state university and tax
en- postgraduate courses in Chi
cago and Travelled extensively il
Europe to study the educationa
system. 4.
Mr.. Voter, as a fit subject TO
q democracy it is your bushes
to put aside your likes and dis
likes and vote for the best intel
ests of the state. When you dos
you will put in vote for M
Donald.
Yours for the best interests

AN APPRECIATION.

The following taken from the
Crank Forks Herald of Tuesday
will give our readers the high
standard in which Walter was
held at the university:
Probably the death of no stu
dent in the history of the univer-
sity has ever caused more uni
versal sorrow at the institution
than that Of Walter P. Belyea
Of Bottineau, on last Saturday
evening. !, .sss5
Mr.. Belyea had been long in
the University, having entered
six years ago this September. He
graduated from the College Of
Liberal Arts with the class Of
1916, receiving Phi Beta Kappa
honors, and the following semes-
ter entered the medical school
for the two years course, ex-
pecting to complete his medical
work at John Hopkins univers-
ity. For the past three years Mr..
Belyea has served as the assist
ant observer at the local weather
bureau station and it was he who
every evening gave the Herald
the daily weather" for the
morning edition, and frequently
answered the requests for the
forecasts and other information
on the weather. "A member Of
the Alpha Lambda Rho frater-
nifty, he was also an active work
er in the Young Mems Christian
association, the oratorical and
debating organizations, and
many. other lines Of student act
ivity on the university campus.
At III opening Of the present
school year Mr.. Belyea, though
exempt from military service,
applied for admission to the
Students Army Training Corps
in which he only could be accept
ed for limited service. On the out
break of the epidemic Of Spanish
influenza he offered his services
as a nurse to care for the mem
bers Of his company who were
i'll. While in this service, which
was wholly voluntary in his case,
he contracted the disease which
later developed into pneumonia
from which he died. The father
Mr.. George Belyea, and a sister,
Mrs. d. j. Mcintosh, both Of
Bottineau, and a brother, Mr..
Joy Belyea Of the university S..
"a. z. G., were at his side when
he passed away.
Walter Belyea's sterling char
acter, superior ability and un-
failing courtesy won him friends
among all who knew him.
Greater love hath no man
than this, that 4 man lay down
his life for his friends.

Professor Young Of Cornell 6iames
Spontaneous Exertlon for Bad Re-
sults-length Of Race Given
as Objectionable.

The records In the department OF
physical culture at Cornell university
10 not show that any of the oarsmen
who have rowed In Courtney's crews
have ever suffered from heart trouble
brought on by rowing. In fact. Prof.
Charles V. Z. Young. head OF the phys.
teal department, asserts that the Cor
nell oarsmen, physically, are the best
type of men developed. He says that
enlargement OF the heart caused by
athletics Is not itself n danger and
does not think that the contention that
rowing Injuries the heart is sound.
Danger From Rowing.
In %refutation Mr.. Young presents the
following argument:
The danger from rowing. as from
most other strenuous forms of activ.
lily, IN from the improper prepare.
ton and too sudden d~iscontinuance OF
active exercise. From my observation
OF Its effects upon Cornell oarsmen l
should say that physically they are the
best type OF men turned out and the
statistics which are available. IL they
be desired, ~corro5orate this statement.
These statistics will also prove in a
great measure that the oarsman has
the promise Of longer life than the
average student.
I'm this connection II might be men,

OF the founding Of Cornell university

pete with any crew Of similar age
which might be gathered together.
Length Of Race Objectionable.
ITO my mind the objection to inter.
collegiate rowing. as AZ present con-
Quoted, is the length Of the race. While
the same danger arises from a two or
three-mile race, II not properly pre-
pared for, the period Of training need
not be so extended, and I think al the
coaches connected with rowing, Mr..
Courtney among the number. are as
II In saying hat the present dis
lance of four miles requires too long
and arduous a period OF training for
those who are supposed to be attend
ing the institution primarily for study.
THAT is where the commercial ele-
ment enters into rowing, as in other
collegiate sports, for the only reason
/ have heard for the continuing Of the
four-mile race at Poughkeepsie Is that
more people will go To see a race OF
that distance than a three-mile race
