st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 5.-Three can
didates for state office, nominated by
petition through the efforts of the
Nonpartisan league, will have the
words nominated by petition" after
their names unless the state legal de-
partment reconsiders a ruling made
when the petitions were presented by
James Manahan, an attorney for the
league. Mr.. Manahan asks hat the
names be designated on the ballot as
'farmer-labor" candidates. Egbert S.
Oakley, assistant attorney. general,
ruled that, in addition, the ballot
should show the three men were nomi-
mated by petition.
The candidates filed were David H.
Evans, for governor: Tom Davis. for
attorney general, and Fred E. Tilquist
for railroad and warehouse commits

more than the 1000 names required
by law.
Filings have to be made by today
so the sample state ballot can be
made up, but ballots cannot be printed
because of questions pending, and this
probably will prevent sending ballots
to Minnesota soldiers in France for

Care In Threshing
Saves Two Millions

st. Paul, Oct 5.-One million
bushels of wheat, worth to the pro-
ducers $4,000, 600 was saved in Min
nesota this year by the campaign for
eliminating waste in threshing, &C.
cording to a report made by L. B..
Bassett Of the University farm t o the
threshing division Of the United States
food administration. The saving was
effected by an educational campaign
which resulted in more careful
threshing methods, and which was
followed up by field inspection Of
threshing outfits. Thousands Of
bushels of other grains were also
saved, Mr.. Bassett says, and he rec
ommends that the work be made per-
.manent. He commends. the cordial
cooperation of threshermen.
District and county meets took
place in SO wheat growing counties,
and were attended by $3.50. There
are about 5000 threshermen in the
state. They were shown common
causes of waste in threshing and how
to reduce them to a minimum. Then
came field inspections. The result of
81 inspections in Norman county is
cited as typical.
OF the 81 machines, is were found
wasting 2.52 per cent Of the grain, on
an average, and were given a second
test. This showed a waste of only
1857 bushels a day for each outfit.

COBS0F MONEY
FOR CAMPAIGN
OF SOCIALISM
Loan and Discounts Are Be.
ing Worked to the Limit
by Agents.

Fargo. N. D.. Oct. 5.-"Great gobs
of money!" as one commentator puts
it, still are at the command of the
Socialists in North Dakota, as evil
denced by an interesting financial
transaction of the last few days, in
volving the Socialist fiscal agent, J..
J.. Hastings. q bank clerk employed
by the Observation-Disclosures bank
of Fargo, and who represents the
Townley financial interests.
Mr.. Hastings several days ago sold
a $4,000 certificate Of deposit, is
sued by the Nonpartisan bank at Hat
ton, discounting the certificate 8 per
cent.
To the investor. the deal is worth
about IA to 10 per cent net, and he
takes no risk, as the Socialists,
deposits, r in a position to offer
first class security, for the Nonparti-
san bank paper is good so far as the
innocent purchaser of its certificate
Is concerned because of the a c that
the state guarantees the certificate.
Numerous offerings of similar certi-
~ficates of deposit at liberal discounts
have been made by Mr.. Hastings to
Fargo business men from time to
time.
The new deal in certificates just
uncovered is in line with the attempt
to force LIZ Bleecher. former CASH
Ter of a N~onpartisan promoted bank
at Lisbon, to make a loan Of $25, 000
to the league. Mr.. Bleecher positive
ly declined to do so, and the league
members on the board of directors
were appealed to. with the result that
they approved the loan. Mr. Beech.
err resigned, refusing to have anything
further to do with the bank, and he
now is employed by another institu-
ton in Lisbon. In the Lisbon deal
both Mr.. Hastings and Mr.. Townley
were directly active in enforcing the
loan to the league.

Attorney Generals Case
Looks Like Influenza

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 5.-Attorney
General William LANCER, who had the
malady in a cry light form, is be-
lieved to have been North Dakota's
first victim of Spanish influenza. The
attorney general entered a local hos
pital the forepart Of the week, suf-
fering from a malady. with character
istics peculiar to the influenza
scourge which is sweeping the east.
His trouble responded to the treat
ment usually given for Spanish in
fluenza, and there is little doubt in
the minds Of Bismarck medical men
that the epidemic has at last made it's
appearance in this state. The attor-
ney generals attack was very mild;
he was isolated as soon as the trouble
manifested itself, and it is not be-
lieved that there has been any general
exposure Of Bismarck people.

Aridity May
Affect Labor Supply

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 5.-The fact
that North Dakota is bone dry may
interfere materially with the prog
ress of fall farm work in this state.
The authority for this statement is
J. W. Brander, Burleigh county
oughly in sympathy with the dry
movement. but he admits that tran
sient labor is moving out Of North
Dakota because, having made their.
stakes, the men are anxious to get
somewhere they a wash the
threshing lust out of their throats."
The lure Of a good time n a pro-
doubtedly having its effect on the la
Dor situation in North Dakota There
seems to be an abundance of transient
labor, but it is moving out, seeking
the land Of the. long mahogany bar
and the convenient brass rail. In

Local farmers are offering rs cents

pert Sangamon bottom husker from
Illinois "a toss up 100 bushels a day,

Fastening to joyland, to put their
golden crop through the separator Of
the gay white way. Y
Little, il any, fall blowing has
been done in Burleigh county, said
Mr.. Brander today. Farm work Of.
all kinds is practically at a standstill.
I confess hat 1 am al a loss as to
how we r going to meet this situa-
ton. A literal application Of the
work or fight order might furnish
relief, but nothing has been done
along this line locally so far
Mr.. Brander ten days ago was
promised Is soldiers from Camp
Dodge. The commandant officially
notified the county agent that his
requisition for experienced farmer
soldier boys had been approved, and
Mr.. Brander forwarded the money
for the mons transportation and
other expenses. They have failed to
show up, however. and the only ex-
PLANTATION Mr.. Brander can offer is
that the quarantine at training camps
resulting from the spread Of Span
ish influenza has operated to keep
theAe workers away.
