N0PARTY MAY HAVE TICKET
The TownIeyites Will Make Move in
That Direction.

According to the Minnesota Lead
er. >Official organ of the Nonpartisan
league, A. C. Townley is determined
to carry cut his plan of attempting
to put an Independent Nonparty tick
ct in the field at the general election.
The current issue of The Leader
says:
"The leagues state convention will
be called in due time to consider fill
ing the vacancies on the ticket made
by the defeat of some of the farmer
labor candidates in the primaries.
This is taken to mean by many
that petition for an Independent
ticket will be put in circulation in a
short time. The petition would have
to bear the signature of 1000 voters
who did not vote at the primaries
to be effective Politicians assert
that in view of the heavy vote cast
this will be difficult to obtain.

AEriv- ing in. ...--., we were immediately sent on board the R. M. s. "Saxeuia 7 a vessel of about 15,000 tons: There was no time lost in listening to, fare we'll speeches, and music or waving good-byes to cheering crowds or the dock. The last crowd I saw was a bunch of about twenty-five, dock hands and the last thing heard WIS a Gree's faker cussing the luck be- cause the ship pulled out before lie could sell all his pies Some of us who were trying to buy a pie did the same.
 We ran into the tail end of storm the first day out and about a third of the men were sea-sick. AItI1o wasn't afflicted with the malady r thought of at least a dozen other places I would rather have been than dinging to the slippery deck of a locoed ship that seemed bent on do- ing nose-dive to Dady Jones Lock CT or doing a back flip. Several times the half of the Atlantic on our left tried to cross over to the right via the upper deck. happened to block its passage one time and ,un- Intentionally discovered that the ocean was salty, cold and wet.
 We joined fleet of transports three days later and swung into line with them to make the rest of the trip. Every ship sailed in total dark ness at night. Smoking on decks was forbidden after sunset owing to the glare of cigars and cigarettes being descernable for mile and a half at sea. Refuse and garbage, which would not sink was burned in order that we should leave no trail behind us for the subs to pick up. Even matches and cigarettes had to be thrown in boxes and not overheard
 Extra life rafts were built, life boats overhauled and at least once day we had 'sub-drill" at which time everyone strapped on a life belt and went to his appointed place l remember when the call came one | HlSht duQ we all SCOOu OH the open deck in the darkness and silence for half an hour while a cold, wet wind blew in our faces, I'll swear thought of million different things that half hour.

 A fleet of swift British destroyers met us in mid-ocean one day and from then on we were entertained by theil methods of protecting us.

 During the lastl few days of, our voyage we, hadi tOO wear life Belts; and a canteem full of water all dhy; evenl while we. werep eating. Our places; at tic mess taBfe, weree allotted with a view of economy of spac8 and be- fore we had to wear our cork armor. The scene during our first meal, while attirned, thickly resembled, the, mob scene in, California. Personally I'd rather take chance of ascertain ing the depth Of the ocean, in case of being subed' than to, struggle thru; my meals in such, a manner. It was with a yell of relief that we first sighted the coast of England one day at noon and were allowed to- remove our Harness. Our protect- ing fleet of little destroyers- bade, us goodbye and turned back to resume, their lonely hunt for sHbs until call ed upon to escort another convoy thru the zone.
 The men on those little wasps are performing a wonderful service for the cause and I hope they won't be, forgotten by the people in the States:
 Upon landing in an English port, we were Immediately sent by. train to a rest camp at Bordon where we, were met by some Royal Engineers. of His Majesty's service. They gave us most hearty welcome as did the entire country and our five days stay there was made as pleasant as the, rainy wether would permit.
 We were all taken to London on special train one Sunday and spent a most interesting and eventfur day. The whole city was ours and we took fashion.
 Orders to move on were issued and | we crossed the channel one dark night on little boat. Guards were posted to keep the men from wander | ing into certain parts of the ship. One fellow, upon being stopped by the guards command of halt, turned and said, Don't say Halt to me on this boat, say Whoat"
 Our reception in France made up for the absence of send-off from the States and we were hailed every where with cheers of ''Vive les Am ericanf."

Somewhere in France, Dec. 29, 1917 Dear Pete:
 For the third time in as many nights I'm going to start letter to you and if that blasted bugle calls me out into the rain this time I'll have to give up and send yon Field Service Card for the present. 1 have never been kept so busy in all my life
 First let me thank you on behalf of the men in my hut as well as my self for the Christmas packages which you and my many friends so thoughtfully sent me. For some un- known reason most of our Christmas mail was held up some place and did not arrive until the 27th. But what a reception it received when the trucks finally rumbled into camp loaded to the limit with their mes sages of cheer and confidence from the folks back home. And we all want you to know that we apprecia- ate your thoughtfulness in supplying us with these luxuries and comforts. Christmas was long anticipated day of rest for us and, as the day was wet and cold, the most of us stayed in our huts writing letters. A l DlS COuSlolllS Ol tui ny, LII OoS- I ing, mashed potatoes, coffee with su- | gar and many other delicacies not usually found on our bill of fare, was the main event of the day and was certainly treat.
