CAMPAIGN
news IN BRIEF

Nothing so convincing as to the d.
rect connection between Socialists
who are directing the affairs of the
Nonpartisan league and the /. w. w.
has come to light as the letter address,
by Arthur LeSueur, secretary of the
National Nonpartisan league, to "Big
Bill" Haywood, NV. w. secretary who
was recently sentenced to 20 years IN
Leavenworth for opposing the govern
ment's war plans.
The letter, introduced in evidence
during the trial in Chicago of Hay
wood and 100 other I. w. W., was
written three days after President
Wilson declared Americas position in
the world war, and it reveals that Ar
thur LeSueur at that time advocated
to "Big Bill" Haywood active opposi-
ton against spy bills and conscrip-
ton, and referred to the war as "this
dam war business. It was for war op.
position that Haywood went to Jail.
Likewise, the letter reveals that Le-
Sueur is a companion worker Of Eu-
gene V. Debs, former Socialist candi-
date for president, who, like Haywood,
was recently found guilty of violating
the espionage act, and was sentenced
to ten years in prison.
LeSueur is secretary to the Nation
al N%onpartisan league: LeSueur
drafted H. B. "A, proposing a Socialist
constitution for North Dakota, and he
drew the proposed amendments now
before the people of the state, which
carry the principles Of II. B. "A by
which it is proposed to lift the limit Of
public debt, open the way for levying
money for other than public purposes,
pave the way for single tax, etc.
Republicans of North Dakota are q
unit in their support Of S. ]. Doyle fol-
governor, if opinion as reflected by the
newspapers of the state is to be re-
lied upon as indicating local senti-
ment. Almost without exception, the
Republican papers Of North Dakota
are urging upon the republican voters
to back S. J. Doyle for governor, as
against the Socialist endorsed and
supported candidate, Mr.. Frazer.
In announcing their position, the
newspapers that are supporting Mr..
Doyle declare they have been con-
WINGED by his fair statement Of the
issues that his election is the best
thing for North Dakota. The fact that
the Socialists at the head of the Non.
partisan league have been revealed a
holding close communion with the I
W. W., as shown by the LeSueur K
Haywood letter; the fact that an at
tempt was made to "put over" III
amendment to the state constitution
absolutely removing all debt limits un
der the guise of having proposed .
81, 000, 900 debt limit; the fact tina
they are paving the way for the singh
tax and many other Socialist doctrine
has been responsible for the shift il
sentiment and destroyed all part,
lines in the state.
The contest is looked upon as a di
rect lineup between those who favo
Socialism, and those who are agains
socialism;those who favor starte own

SITTING BULL.
Chief Of the Unkapapa Sioux

DIED DECEMBER 2, 1890.
All around and about stretches a
dreary waste Of dusty. brown prairie.
There are no other graves.
The man who killed Sitting Bull,
Red Tomahawk, did not attend the
Standing Rock fair this year.
Tomahawk was a member of the
Indian police despatched to Sitting
Bulls home to arrest him during the
Messiah craze in 1890. Sitting Bull
grew angry. Some say he drew a gun
or that he signaled to his retainers to
fire. Red Tomahawk took no chances
but drew his gun and fired.
At least a half dozen lives were lost
in this episode.
That more lives were not sacrificed
was due to the foresight of Major
Fechet in Smelling the brush which
surrounded Sitting Bulls cabin. And
the young shave-tail lieutenant in
charge Of the battery whose shells
sent hostile Sioux ~scurrying like rab-
bits from the brush, was Enoch H.
Crowder, now provost marshal gener-
al Of the United States.

SOLDIERS VOTE NOW

Thoughtless il not INSCRIPTIONS men
have compelled the people of North
Dakota to act or momemtous state
problems, when $4,000 or more Of
North Dakota's voters are either in
France or in training camps.
Under the absent voters law every
soldier can cast his ballot in the No
vember election.
The boys in Khaki should, not have
to consider NOW any matter that will
effect us but very little until AFTER
the war is over. We are working I'M
der war orders now.
But this will be the future home Of
tour boys" and when economic dis
turbances affecting the future are
threatened, they have a right to help
to decide what disturbances they shall
be BEFORE THEY GET BACK.
Fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters,
relatives and friends can render the
State and nation a patriotic service
by helping the boys in this matter.
Send to the County Auditor Of Some
boys home county, his latest military
address, and request that q ballot be
sent to him. Requests Of this kind
from several parties for the same boy
will be better than no request for some
boys. Send a request for some one.
Then write the boy 2 letter telling
him that you have requested q ballot
for him and send him all the informa-
ton you can that will make it as easy
as possible for him to vote wisely.
Do it before you sleep another
