and members were given instructions
on how to vote on each bill.
The members were first provided
with a card giving the title Of the
measures and the word yes" or
mo" written thereon. opposite each
bill, 50 there could be no mistake.
This was too open, Everson said, the
members having to pull out the cards
from time to time. and it was aban-
doned. Then plan was devised
whereby bills read by q red-headed
clerk cd. Wood were to be voted
down, while bills read by other
clerks were to be passed. The clerk,
Ed. Wood, is a son of F. B. Wood,
vice president Of the league, and is
listed as line of the co-partners pub
fishing the Nonpartisan Leader.
This plan, too, proved faulty, and
Townley devised a new plan where
by a league member, at the top Of
the voting list, was made the bell
Wether, and other members were
expected to follow his lead.
Mr.. Everson says he staid by the
sented. Then he baked, and was
driven out Of the caucus by Townley.
Mr.. Everson declared he could not
stand for the Socialist doctrines
advanced.

by Governor Burnquist in patriotic
address here Saturday night.
The governor addressed several
thousand people. Crowds came to

According to various published re-
ports Of Governor Frazier's political
talks. the executive is giving him
self over very largely to the declara-
ton that 'the farmers are Loyal, as
a means of answering the charges

No Endorsement of Leadership.

Minot, June 10.-L. o. Gilmore,
president Of the local federation Of
labor unions, who was one OF the
delegates from Minot to the con-
vention Of the North Dakota Fedora
ton of Labor, stated on his return
that while the convention went on
record as endorsing the platform Of
the Nonpartisan league, such en-
dorsement can in no way be con-
strued as endorsement for A. c..
Townley and the other socialist lead
ers Of the League. THE laboring
men of this state" he said, -"recog-
nize in the Nonpartisan league a
movement which will unite the far
mers Of North Dakota and our pur-
pose was to encourage such a union.
It is the intention Of the laboring
men to work among the farmers and
educate them on the underlying prin-
ciples of unionism and thus assist
them in getting rid of their present
leaders. The league as it stands to-
day is autocratic as the affairs Of
the organization are in the hands OF
few self-appointed leaders. 1t
would be wrong for the labor unions
to denounce the league entirely and
attempt to break it up. What we
seek to do is to save the organiza
ton of farmers and place farmers
at it's head. While we endorsed the
leagues efforts for better Iegisla-
ton, it should not be understood by
that that the Iaboring men Of North
Dakota will vote the league ticket

credited to H. L. Elliott. the Socialist
state manager Of the Nonparttsan
league, that only Socialists will land
i'll the high offices Of the league, and
that the Socialists are building the

the announcement that Alfred knut
son, f@Snerly of Wild Rose, is the
state manager in Washington.
Knutson was recently tarred and
feathered by a Washington mob, and
The Wildrose Plainsman. the weekly
publication here, says:
This news comes as a surprise to
many local people who have known
Mr.. Knutson as we have not heard
Of anything seditious or extremely
radical that he advanced while here.
He was simply a. we'll posted Social

1T is to prevent any possible rust

OF wheat, that an intensive cam
paign is now being waged over the
great upper Mississippi valley
wheat region from Ohio to Mon
tana to exterminate all varieties Of
the common barberry except the
japanese. This alone is immune
TO rust. The only practicable way
known TO check this rust is by dig
ging out the barberries.
This is probably the earliest
infection ever reported so far

of the University Of Illinois, who

MILAN CAR LEAVES
TRACK AT BRIDGE

Traffic on the Milan end of the
Watch Tower street car line was
tied up last night from II o'clock
until 1890. The stub which runs
between Milan and Sears was de-
rallied at the south end of the
Rock river bridge nearest Milan.
The rear trucks ran off the track
and the car skidded across the
bridge. After much effort the men
succeeded in getting the car back
on the track. This point is a con-
slant worry to street car men as
the track is so constructed here
that a car runs off very easily.
The front end of the car was
damaged. People wishing
to get to Milan or from Milan to
Rock Island after IL O'Clock were
forced to walk to Sears.

that it is too small for further

not accepted because of being too
small
Rock Island has several public
schools located in the west end and
these buildings are well able to
take care of school children in their
districts. Sites have been secured
by the board, for buildings in the
