Dishonesty In Meeting

ist Now Revealed
FARMERS DECLARE
FOR INDEPENDENCE
Many Communities Make
Optimistic Reports On
Independent Ticket

John Stems candidacy for COVER
nor Is getting hearty support at the
hands Of the farmers Of North Da-
kota, and among the membership Of
the Nonpartisan league there is a
distinct movement of the voters to
the Steen banner, according to
Theodore Nelson, manager Of the
campaign for the Peoples ticket.
Mr. Nelson, himself a member Of
the Nonpartisan league, is a Dunn
county farmer who parted company
with the Townley propaganda be-
cause, as he says, he became con-
WINGED that the Socialist elements in
control OF the league movement were
not operating for the best interests
OF the state.
Today Mr.. Nelson is in Fargo on
business connected with the cam
paign, and he is confident that the
June primaries will witness a great
outpouring OF votes for John Steen
though, as he says, no man can tell
now what the voters Of the state will
do when t hey enter the election
booths on June 26. In an interview
with The Forum this morning, Mr..
Nelson said;
No one has any definite way Of
knowing what the voters of North.

Many Private Letters From
Germany Have Fallen
Into Allies Hands
REFLECT GREAT
DESIRE FOR PEACE
eff War Lasts Much Long
er The People Will
Make Peace"
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 13.-(British Admir-
alty) per Wireless Press-Private
letters from Germany which have
come into allied hands indicate the
heavy weight which the war has inn
posed upon the poor in that country,
anxiety for peace finds frequent ex-
preston as we'll as anger with the
military element in the nation.
1--WE hope that peace will come
soon, writes man from Berlin, for
if the war lasts much longer then
the people here will make peace.
Twice already there have been small
riots, but when the third comes it
won't go we'll with the rich people.
For the poor there is so little food
that they can hardly Aive while the
rich people have stores laid up for
years. Poor people are only fit to be
shot. The men in the field suffer for
the rich and we have to go hungry"
Along the same lines man from
Central Germany writes:
IF the rich had nothing TO eat, as
we poor people have, the war would
soon come to an end"
Many of the letters return again
and again to attacks on the militar-
lists and the junkers Of Germany,
who/are held responsible for the con-
tinuation of the war and the conse-
quent misery of the people.
"As long as the militarists insist
the fatherland must be greater there
will be no peace" writes a woman
from Stetting and. disgust with the
methods of the pan Germans Is a
strong note in letters from all parts
Of the country.

Ask President
TO Take Charge
CBy Associated Press.)

st. Paul, Mimi. June 13.-Resolu-
tions deploring the alleged necessity
Of having to call a strike OF union
telegraphers to enforce the recon-
mendations Of the war labor board
and asking President Wilson to take
over immediate control Of the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies, were adopted today at the
annual convention Of the American
Federation Of Labor.
Another resolution calling upon the
federation to pledge it's entire sup
port to $50 telegraphers Of Seattle,
Washington, who, according to the
resolution, were discharged for join
ing a union, was voted down. 1t
was pointed out that. while the sub
stance of this resolution was in
cluded in other resolutions, a strict
Interpretation would result IN. a gen
eraI strike all over the country.
Nearly a. score of other resolutions,
including measures to organize work
ers in the steel and sugar industries
were hurried through the session.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
federation, sent a. telegram to Presi-
dent Wilson in reply to the chief
ing. appreciation of labor's war eff
forts. Mr.. Gompers' telegram said,
in part: I'VE wish to express to
you our determination to give whole
hearted support to the government of
our free country in this war to estab
lish principles Of freedom that will
insure peace between nations. We
pledge loyal support and service un-
til human freedom and equity shall
be the common right Of all peoples"
A telegram from Chairman b. M.
of the war Industries board,
expressing hope that the convention
would result in promoting the cause
Of labor with patriotism, Which you
have so splendidlY manifested during
the trying times" was read from the
platform. -su
Oficers of the telegraph companies
and Postmaster General Burleson
came in for sharp attacks prior to
adoption of the resolutions affecting
telegraph companies. H. B. sPerham
Of st. Louis, president Of the order
Of railway telegraphers, charged
that labor and code messages were
held UP in telegraph offices until they
were decoded. The attack on POST
master General Burleson was made
by Thomas F1aherty of Washington.
The advisability Of organizing thous- |
ands of new women workers who are
taking the places OF men was clearly
set forth by three resolutions offered
by the committee on resolutions and
adopted. Under terms Of the resolu-
tons equal pay for men and women
employees is demanded.

Let Children Pick Clothes.

Everyone remembers when he or she
was a child how irritating 1t was to
have our parents pick all our clothes
without giving us any choice In the
matter. In the Woman's Home Com
panion a writer says: "Now, what I
am asking for the boys Is this: Take
your sons with you when you buy
their clothing. Consult their tastes
somewhat. Don't let them select any
thing ridiculous, but give them a
choice Of half q dozen sensible coats
or hats or whatever 1t may be. Don't
scold them too much If they come home
with the straps on their bloomer trous-
ers unlocked so the trouser legs are
almost long. No doubt the captain Of
the baseball team and all the other
fellows wear theirs that way. Or IL
your boy comes up the street with his
cap over his right ear, while you are
telling him that he looks Just like a
little street tough remember 1t was
the style that you, yourself followed
last winter, and that what all the fell
lows do means just as much to- Johnny
as Paris notes do to YOU"
