He gladly gave his all-his life. What
more can man give that our loved

My only regret is that ! could no:
be there with him to try my luck in
the strife, and l think these few words
by Major G. w. Polhemus express my
sentiment as we'll as any true soldier
who could not get the chance to GO
across, but was left on this side:
"The lucky ones in this great World
war
Are not the ones who are killed.
Nor the wounded ones, be they Allies

No matter what blood they have

The most unfortunate man today,
Is the man who jumped at the chance
To fight like hell from the tap OF the

But who'll never see service in

his call should have been more
along the line Of the speech of Sec
rotary Daniels at Providence. where
Daniels said:
Inese men of the plunderbund are
not thinking about patriotism, but
pay-tlotlsm. They are not thinking
about securing permanent peace or
even about the war. They are think
ing about after the war, and they
are straining every nerve to secure
a congress that will repeal or DESTROY
the wholesome legislation and pro-
gressive- steps which have marked
Wilson's administration"
A second important reason is the
failure of the Democratic congress,
to interfere with special privilege as
1t should, and the only way the vot-
ers could protest was to vote for the
opposition party. This congress sad
died fixed wheat price on the norm
ally Republican but radical North
west, and allowed profteering to run
rampant in practically everything
else. 1t wasted over year and a
half in getting a war profits tax APP
preaching decency. The Republi-
cans probably would have been just
as bad, but the voters had right 60
expect more from the Democrats.
HARSH TREATMENT OF
RADICALS
Another element against Wilson
| Democrats was the intense feeling
of the prosecuted radicals who had
helped to elect him in 1916. On the
plea that they were pro-Germans,
the special interests who live in
dread of the growth of radicalisn
were allowed practically free hand
in suppressing papers which they did
not like and in dealing out grotesque-
ly long prison sentences. While not
agreeing perhaps with the suppressed
papers and the convicted radicals,
large numbers of voters knew that
these radicals declared hostility to
the kaiser long before the govern
ment did and that their pacifism
where they were pacifst, was genu
inc. The Wilson administration new
er gave any public reason why sin
/ cere radicals had to be treated
much more harshly here than II
Europe, where the war situation wa.
more intense. The American public
: where it knows the facts, demands ;
square deal even for those it does
not agree with. The return of Vic
, tor Berger to congress from tn
: Milwaukee district, although he wa
{ under Indictment, is probably due t.
] this fact.

The courts of the state probably
will be appealed to by the Socialists
in an attempt to incorporate in the
state constitution six proposed
constitutional amendments that. were
voted down by the people in the re-
cent election.
Notice 10 that effect was served
today upon the public by the Fargo
Socialist newspaper in comment
upon the Nonpartisan leagues fail
ure TO obtain a majority for the pro-
posed amendments In the recent
election.
while the courts will probably de-

Socialist newspaper frames the no.

Fargo today as announcing the open

amendments in the constitution re-

1000 votes each of the 'equired ma
JJrity.
Vote Still Grows
The total Of the vOtes cast in the
election wac increased today by re-
turns from Rlchland county, where
the previous available total vote was
that cast for governor. The canvass
OF the vote yesterday at Wahpeton
resulted in the announcement last
night that 1921 male voters partici-

county by 1877 votes. the vote for
governor being 1854. The Mckenzie
county vote also Is increased by 40
on the vote for governor, the total
for the county previously being car
ried at 1900. while figures received
today from the Mckenzie county au-
