Of North Dakota. and to his ability
and careful scrutiny was largely due
the high-class legislation which PASS
ed the first session of the state leRis-
lature. Every moral question enlist
ed his hearty support. He was a
pioneer PrOhibitionist during terri
torial days. and when the north half
of the territory was admitted into the
union he was a strenuous advocate OF
writing the prohibitive clause into
the constitution. He was a champion
Of genuine representative govern
ment, and no man in the early his
tory of the state rendered better
service for clean politics and just and
equitable legislation than George F.
Goodwin.
Fought The Lottery.
During the administration of Gov.
John Miller. the first state executive,
Mr.. Goodwin was particularly
prominent in opposition to the in
famous Louisiana lottery proposition,
and was one of the cotterie instru-
mental in bringing about its defeat
and saving the state from disgrace.
Governor Miller. Attorney General
Goodwin, Geo. s. Montgomery, rail-
road commissioner, and the writer
hereof. then a member of the senate
from the Seventh district, formed an
executive committee which had
charge Of the opposition forces. Many
and varied were the onerous duties
which devOlYed upon them during
that memorable session. At the
crisis of the fight they found it neces-
sary to employ detectives, and for
several weeks the sleuths did effec-
tive work which contributed materi-
ally and to the dismay and ultimate
defeat of the lotteryites.
Il painfully recall the memories Of
that session, for after the battle was
over and the surviving enemies had
taken to their third line of trenches,
our executive quartet had a bill of
81 900 to pay for detective service.
My share OF the bill hit at an in
time, when The Herald
eXchequer was low. and the result
was had to call upon Titus & Smith
for temporary relief / spent four
at Bismarck that winter, blew
in my five bucks per diem and much
of the earnings of The Herald; but,
when the session
was over / returned to Grand Forks
feeling a little 'cocky' over the sue
cessful outcome of the lottery fight.
FOR the second time that year we had
up the gang, and the little
matter Of $1,000 left no permanent
sting.
r. Refused denomination.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Goodwin's
splendid service to the state during
that critical period, he was refused
the honor Of a denomination the fol-
lowing year, and the state lost the
services OF one OF its best and most
loyal officials. He resumed practice
Of his profession at Lisbon, where he
resided until his removal about TWEEN

passing through that city frequently
called upon him and enjoyed a social
chat for a short time. He early

Of the Third district court of Salt
Lake county.
Like all good citizens. Judge Good
win was intensely patriotic. Shortly
after the entry of the United States
into the world war. the stars and
stripes were unfurled in his court
room. Entering the room from his
chambers on the first morning OF the
session, the judge did not go direct to
the dias, but paused and said:
Gentlemen: You have doubt

in Minnesota membership of
$4,000, according to figures given
out at the league headquarters. At
this time two years ago in North
Dakota, the league had about $4,000
members, according to prominent
league officer with whom the SUBJ
tect was discussed Sunday evening.
On the day of the general election in
North Dakota, in 1916, the league
had membership in that state of
40O4S, gaining better than 100 per
cent from the middle Of March to
November.
League officers are working in
Minnesota today on the same theory
that they did in North Dakota two
years ago, and that they still are
working on in that state-namely,
that the man who pays his money to
the league, will vote for the league
ticket Just to get his moneys
worth" II he didn't vote the league
ticket, the league leaders theOrize,
the member wouldn't be getting any
thing for his money. ~
So today, while they officially fix
their membership at As. 900, they are
preparing for an intensive member
ship drive this spring and early
summer that will carry the organ
ization's doctrine into many dis
tricts Of the state not yet organized.
The league official who discussed
the question with The Forum rep
resentative, said there still remain
vast portions of the state that have
not been touched, but into which the
leagues official paper is now being
sent by the thousands of copies,
preparing the soil for the organizers
who soon will be on the ground.

hears more about organized labor

The league men appreciate the fact
that they must have organized la
Dor with them to win, and a work
ing agreement" between organized
labor and the Nonpartisan league is
now said to be a. reality, according
ito the league officer interviewed here
last evening. Wednesday, at the
mass convention, has been set aside
as "labor day and the twin city
street car strike situation will be
the theme. A week or ten days ago,
the street car employees voted to ac-
cept the report made by the federal
mediators called into the situation
last winter, while the car company
turned the report down.
The Nonpartisan league sees in
the strike and the mediation report
an issue on which to combine the
organized labor vote in the cities
with the rural vote, and has already
prepared the way for the successful
development of that idea. The mass
convention, and particularly the
Wednesday session, will witness the
elimination of the leagues objects
along that line, and the street car
strike issue may already be said to be
firmly esta blished as one Of the
many on which the league viii go
before the people Of Minnesota in the
June primaries.
