who stood foursquare and said
NEVER. It was Harrison's close
and confidential connection with
the administration that the
farmer boys were fur
loughed until the crops are
harvested. 1t was Harrison that
cancelled all speaking engage
ments in Mississippi when trouble
arose at Camp Pike over a Miss
issippi boy refusing to march his
men with colored troops and
went to the scene of trouble. He
wrote no letters but he went and
investigated and then acted. 1t
was Harrison that remedied the
condition by making a personal
appeal to Secretary Baker. It is
said that no member of Congress
stands higher in the Council of
the President and his Cabinet
than Pat Harrison. 1t can truly
be said that his Congressional
District has always been favored.

ENTIRE NONPARTISAN
TICKET NOMINATED

Fargo, N. D., June 29.--The en-
tire Nonpartisan league sticket, state
and congressional, was nominated in
the primaries of Wednesday. Gov
ernor Lynn ]. Frazier, who took the
lead Thursday as returns from rural
districts came in, steadily increased
that lead until it neared the $1,000
mark.
With returns in from every county
in the state, but with nearly 200
isolated precincts missing, Frazier's
lead over Steen is 14,530. The fig
ures are: Frazier, 50,67S; Steen,
30,148.
H. G. Wick of Cavalier, finally was
defeated by John M. Baer for con-
gressman from the First district. 1t
now is believed that Baer's majority
will reach 500 or more. Until some
strong Baer districts were heard from
Thursday night, it seemed certain
that Wick had been nominated.
