The graduating exercises which
marked the closing of the years work
of the Minot High school were held
in the auditorium Of the Normal
school Friday evening. The class OF
IS contained the largest percentage
of male students of any class gradu-
ated from Minot's schools since the
establishment of the high school. Out
of class of 33 there were Is young
men. Supt. Bruce Francis presided.
Simplicity marked this years eXer-
cises, the young ladies wearing gowns
conspicuous for the absence of the
frills and furbelows SO customary up
on these occasions. The Glee Club
under the direction Of Miss Louise
Nelson furnished the musical num-
bers. The Hon. j. F. T. O'Connor
of Grand Forks delivered the gradual
ing address which was inspiring. The
subject of his address was "Educa-
ton and Democracy. Space for
bids our giving his address in COM
plete form but a few excerpts will
give an idea as to the line of thought
which his remarks presented:
''It is only by education of the
masses, by, giving them preparation
which will enable them to understand
the fundamentals and principles Of
free government, that men are able
to govern themselves"
He spoke Of the difference of opin-
ion among men and said that because
they differ is not evidence that one is
wrong. Human perfection is limited
and public men make mistakes. 1t
is not expected that they shall be in
fallible, but in a free government it is
demanded that they be sincere.
"He denounced the critics of this
nation. who saw only error in every
thing, and was loudly applauded when
he declared that when these people
from other countries could find moth
ing else to do, to send them back to
their countries where there are no
errors.
The diplomas were presented to the
graduates by l.. J. Palda, president Of
the city school board, who spoke on
the opportunities of the young people
in the world at this time, and the OBJ
legations that rested upon them in the
crisis through which civilization is
passing. Those who were awarded

1000 ATTEND NONPARTISAN
PICNIC A T p A R~k
Crowd Addressed Monday by Gov.
Frazier, Atty. Gen. LANCER and
a Supt. Macdonald.

A Nonpartisan rally and picnic was
held at Riverside Park Monday. Gov
ernor Frazier, State Supt. Of Public
instruction N. C. Macdonald and At
torney General LANCER spoke on the
political issues. Dorr Carroll was
chairman of the meeting. The Velva
band played upon the street while the
parade was forming and discoursed
several selections at the park. There
was a large attendance from the sur
rounding country, the crowd at the
park numbering around two thousand
people. Coming as it did on the eve
of campaign which has been mark
ed by more or less intense political
bitterness there was some disorder at
the park when some young men at
tempted to display banners criticizing
prominent members of the League,
but cool heads succeeded in pouring
oil upon the troubled waters and the
meeting passed off quietly.
In introducing LANCER Chairman Car
roll facetiously remarked that "Langer
is real fighting man." LANCER lauded
his administration, referring particular
city Of Minot was cleaned up year ago.
In speaking Of recent trip thru Min
neSOta he said that one would thlnk
he was in darkest Russia by the wanton
disregard of peoples rights manifest in
that state. He criticized the actions of
the Minnesota State Council of Defense
with bitter invectives. He eXtolled the
draft boards Of North Dakota and said
that the expense incident thereto in
this state compared very favorably
with the expenditures Of other states.
In North Dakota the expense per cap
ita has been but $1.S3, while in South
Dakota the cost ran to $4.S6, while in
Delaware the per capita cost was 1900.
Referring again to the Minot raid he
said all were treated alike and that he
had no apologies to make He said he
was proud of the part he had taken in
it. Governor Frazier in his remarks
said he was glad the meeting was to
be held in Minot so that the. members
Of the League could see for themselves
the attitude of the people toward the
officers of the state
In explaining why Attorney General
LANCER was not drafted he said that
LANCER went to Secretary of War Baker
when in. Washington and expressed a
desire to enlist but the Secretary told
him to remain where he was as he could
be of greater assistance to the govern
ment in his present station. Outside the
bitterness toward Minot people evident
in several instances thruout his speech
his address was replete with details OF
interest to his auditors and well be-

Lynn j. Frazier was renominated
for Governor of North Dakota, de-
feating John Steen with a majority
of from 10000 to $4,000 votes. Indi-
cations are that the entire Nonpar-
tisan state ticket is nominated.
The early returns showed up
strong for Steen, and during the
early part of the day following We'd
nesday's primary, it appeared as tho
Steen might possibly have a chance,
as he had lead of about 5000 over
Frazier, with his strongholds practi-
cally all in, however. The Slope
country, many precincts of which did
not give Frazier a majority two years
ago, however went strong for him
this year.
Mcintosh, which two years ago was
eight to one against the league, now
is going two to one for the league
candidates; in Logan county, where
very similar conditions existed; and in
McHenry and Wells counties, strong
league counties two years ago, Fra
zier maintains the strength then de-
veloped and increases it in some in
stances.
The towns went for Steen, as was
expected. Fargo, Grand Forks, Mi
not, Devils Lake and Bismarck all
gave Steen vote Of about three or
four to one for Frazier.
Indications are that most of the
legislative nonpartisan candidates
won out, however they lost in Ram
sey county and in the twenty-ninth
district, including Mniot.
Frazier wins in County.
The latest returns show that Frazier
carried Ward county by IA votes over
Steen, Frazier getting 2062 and Steen

Fats Wipe Diamond With the Leans

The Fats wiped up the diamond
with the Leans in the ball game play
ed for the Red Cross Friday eve
ming, the score being IA to 19. Gay
Wooledge, the umpire was the VIC,
tim of an infuriated mob on account
of his rotten decisions, which mostly
favored the Leans. The game was
PLAYED out of doors with an indoor
baseball, which was an insult to the
fats, who are mostly old league play
ers. Had the game been played on
the regular diamond, it is doubtful
if the Leans would have gotten a
score. The Leans had gathered a
lot of old time stars like Doc Spillan!ee,,
Gale Robinson, Tudor Owen, and Bill
Jones, but they could not overcome
the heavy batting qualities of such
men as Judge Leighton, Frank Lam
bert, John Lowe, Earl Wallace, Ira
Stoddard, Axel Roise, =. G.. Malm

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic OF grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should net be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists

soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. r., offer to send sam
pie size bottle of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need Of it. Regular medi.
