Nonpartisans Win With Entire
Ticket in North Dakota
Except Macdonald.
AMENDMENTS IN DOUBT
Final Count May Be Required eefor.
Fate Of the Leagues Ten Con.
stitutionaI Amendments 10
10 Known.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 0.-The election
Of Governor Lynn j. Frazier and the
entire Republican state ticket as pro-
NOTED by the Nonpartisan league for
North Dakota is definitely conceded,
with single exception-State Super
intendent N. c. Macdonald, whose de-
feat by Miss Minnie Nelson Of Valley
City Is now an admitted fact. The
victory for the Nonpartisans includes
the election of their three congressional
candidates, Baer, Young and Sinclair,
the two first named being reelected,
and j. H. Sinclair of Kenmare being
elected to succeed Congressman p. d.
Norton of the third district, whom he
defeated for the nomination in June.
H. II. Bronson, league endorsee for
associate justice Of the supreme court,
has also won over his opponent, former
Chief Justice Charles ]. Fisk.
Fate Of Constitutional Amendments.
The fate Of the ten proposed amend
ments to the state constitution, initi-
ated by league leaders for ratification
and final passage at the polls, is not
yet certain and may not be definitely
known until the final count; in fact,
friends of the league admit that even
should they carry, on the face of the
final returns, the margin is likely to
be so narrow as to give probability Of
contest before their passage is al
lowed. The rules under which con-
stitutional amendments may be passed
in this state require that they must
carry an affirmative vote comprising
majority Of oil the votes cast at
the election, and not merely majority
Of the votes upon each particular
amendment proposed. Upon the face
of partial returns available here yes
terday the amendments appeared to
have received a little more than ma
jority of all reports tabulated at that
time. The issue on receipt Of COM
plete returns may therefore be very
close.

Patterns of refugee garments for

work that every woman ought to do

Abraham started on his voyage of ex
ploration to the Land Of Canaan.
Scenes Along the Tigris.
AS your train winds along the swift,
muddy Tigris, you will see Arabs trav-
cling by 'kelek," which is raft of
poles supported by the inflated skins
of goats. These same old RATS, by the
way, are pictured on the inscribed
walls of Nineveh. These same picture
walls show men crossing the river by
the aid of inflated goat skins, each man
supporting himself on a skin and pad
ding with his hands as child paddles
in his swimming pool with water
wings" And to this day, at Mossul
(Which is opposite old Nineveh), the
Arab workmen cross the river by
means of these skins. From PARKWAY
Persian provinces, from Kurdestan and
mountain countries long camel cara
vans come trekking in, bringing wool,
hides, carpets and skins Of dates. And
when they go back, they carry cases OF
American kerosene, or bales of 'piece
goods from Manchester, or cube sugar
from France.
Nearing Bagdad, the river towns
take on an air of greater hustle. The
people will no longer throw rocks, or
run shrieking at sight of the train and
the "ferenghies'' (foreigners). They
will come peddling all manner of ed
ibles, from curdled camel-milk to Turk
ish nougat and pistachio nuts. And in
the crowded, dusty bazaar streets
rooted over like tunnels to keep out
the heat-you will see offered for sale
hand sewing machines, "dollar watch
es," graphopfones and tons of gaudy
calicoeS.
There is another class Of tourists,
also, who stream across Mesopotamia
by tens of thousands, every year. And,
to handle this traffic, the far-sighted
Germans planned a branch railroad
from the Persian frontier down to Bag
dad, thence southwest through old
Babylon to the holy cities of Kerbela
and Nedjef. The Shia pilgrims, this
strange tourist horde is called, and
from this pilgrim trade alone the Bag

" YHEN British guns came
M pounding at the age-old
Wv walls Of Bagdad, ancient
home of Sinbad the Sailor
and Haroun-al-Raschid, a new epoch
began in the history of this long dor
mant middle East. The romantic city
of golden minarets and dangerous
dreams awoke to new life-tO play a
big, eventful part in the giant upheaval
that Is changing the map Of the world.
Gone forever, now, is that favorfte
phrase, "The Changeless East" says a
writer in the Los Angeles Times.
Today the British hold .Mesopotamia,
the richest province in the Ottoman
empire. They have built their own rail-
road from the Persian gulf to Bagdad
through 600 miles of changing land
scape-a landscape Of dense date
groves, of fertile fields, of wild marsh
es, and sandy desert. Bagdad, the
key to the middle East, is theirs.
The Bagdad route proper begins at
Scutari, a suburb of COnstantinOple on
the Asiatic side of the Bosporous, runs
SOuLuedSL OL AloppO, LLeuCe OA CdoC W
the Euphrates and Tigris country
with network of branches-and thence
south along the winding Tigris to the
cot waters of the Persian gulf.
For sheer human interest, no trip
Ia the world can compare with a jour-
ney over the route OF the Bagdad rail-
way.
And, when the great war has ended,
and trippers are again making the tour
OF the world, it is inevitable that
hordes will fOrsake the SueZ route to
go by rail via Nineveh, Bagdad, and
the old Garden of Eden.
