reports from Bismarck declared that
Mr.. Burdick was a candidate and that
the Nonpartisan league did not look
with disfavor upon his candidacy.
II am not candidate for any office"
he said last night.
Before an audience which filled
the Morton county court rooms in
Mandan, Walter Thomas Mills, the
Socialist National Nonpartisan
league lecturer, delivered a talk on
the proposals OF the league. Mr..
Mills predicted that there will be 80

HOW RIVETERS ARE MADE
John Wolf, Hog Island Expert.
Describes His Method

John Wolf. hailed at Hog Island as
champion general riveting foreman Of
the world since his record -breaking drive
OF September 13. when 195,224 rivets
were put In by his gangs. is one OF our
most methodical shipworkers. He has
spent forty-one out of ffty-eight years
in shipyards. and when he talks about
building ships others listen with cars
wide open.
When the war broke out Wolf was
one of Uncle Sans most valuable aides
in the shpyards. Mechanics had to be
made in a hurry and Wolfe fitted into
that work admirably. Speaking of his
work, the general foreman said:
Before the American troops over
yonder make drive on the Huns they
make careful preparations. follow
the same principle in getting ready for
n riveting drive. Riveters were as
scarce as monkey wrcnches in a parlor
when Uncle Sam opened the ball in the
shipbuilding game. We've had to make
them, that's all.
Every one Of my forty-three gangs
of riveters was as green as fresh pine
only short time ago. 7 got 'em from
our training school. I've worked like a
coal HEAVIER whipping this raw material
into shape. md I want to say right now
there are no better working buddies in
the world. I'll stack my huskies against
the cream OF the famous Scottish yards
on the Clyde.
What is the secret of the success Of
my gangs? Well. it's as simple as the
nose on your face. The first thing do
is to put my huskies next to the big idea
in the shipbuilding game. 7 hammer it
into their heads that every rivet they
drive is equal TO stout nail into the
coffin Of the Kaiser. In other words, /
make their part in this war game seem
so real that they pound rivets like tho
boys over there pump machine guns.
when things opened up had the holes
alt reamed and the proper tools all in
place. So when the drive started We
had n whirlwind start.
Morale is blamed important in any
