INDEPENDENTS ID n
SIlLIN FIGHT
Advising County and Pre-
cirfct Committees to Select
Men for Legislature.

Bismarck. N. D.. July 16.-The In
dependent Voters association is still
in the fight to Dust the Townley gang
from North Dakota, and the fight viii
be carried on until the votes are eAst
at the November. election. Tentative
plans for carrying on the fight were
made at the meeting at Bismarck
July 6, and the following letter was
sent to all Independent county and
precinct committeeman:
To All County and Precinct Commit
teemen:
Gentlemen
The executive committee Of the In
dependent Voters association, in a
meeting at Bismarck this 9Th day OF
July, 1918, after having made q re-
view of the political situation in the
state wish to say to you:
We believe that everything possible
should be done to keep the state from
falling entirely into the hands Of the
Townley gang and that the fight must
go on until after the general election
this fall. That also seems to be the
consensus of opinion as expressed by
many Of our workers in all parts OF
the state.
We. therefore, urge, as a first step,
that the county and precinct commit
teemen of the Independent Voters a
ISOLATION get together with the ANTI
TOWNLEY county and precinct
committeeman Of the democratic
party and take such steps as are
found necessary to have a complete
anti-Townley legislative ticket in the
field wherever there is none such al
the present time. Let these candi-
dates appear ETHEREAL on the repub-
lican ticket, or all on the democratic
ticket, or part Of each, or independ'
ent. Let the stand of each be clear
ly defined. Shall our legislature con
sist of. willing servants of the present
political gang in this state, or, shall
we elect independent, capable mer
without any strings tied to them?
Action with reference to the state
ticket and platform will be taken q
little later, of which you will be duly
advised.
Yours truly,
The Executive Committee, =.a.
Theodore Hoffel,
Secretarv.

FOREST RIVER
BOY WASFIRST
OVER The TOP
Writes They Would Have
Held Positions if it Had
Taken Last Man.

Forest River, N. D., July IT,
The Germans have a healthy re-
spect for u regiment now and calls
the Black Snake regiment" writes
Aubry Wilson to his father, Geo. B.
Wilson of Forest River. from the
trenches in France under date of
June 20. where young Wilson took
part in the first American engage
ment The letter follows:
II suppose you have been thinking
that I am dead again by this time,
we'll, but this is the first time I have
had a chance to write for a month.
at least it seems like a month to
and to tell you the truth I had
lost track of the dates all together
until we got back here yesterday.
I'VE have been the busiest bunch
of fellows the last two months you
heard. We have been on the
line almost continually since the
middle Of April, bat the big drive is
almost over now, I believe, so we
may have a chance to rest for a
while. Believe me we gave them all
they wanted while they were coming
over and then we came back at them
by going after them.
Yes, sir, I had the pleasure of see
ing the first American troops going
over the top and the next day I went
over with - Company. We made a
mile drive and held our positions, al
though the Germans made desperate
counter attacks, while trying to drive
us back, but we held IN and they de-
cided to quit and let us keep u
ground. and it was the wisest thing
they ever. did, as we would have held
the position, even If it had taken the
last man. Ours were the first Ameri-
can troops to take any tei ritory and,
of course, we had to show the bunch
that we could hold what I'VE had
taken.
I'VE also took a bunch of prisoners
and it wa. lots Of fun watching the
boys taking them back to the rear.
If the Huns did not 10Y fast
enough to suit them, they just
touched them up with the bayonets
a little and I tell you they moved.
They have a healthy respect for our
regiment now and call us the Black
Snake regiment. They say we never
take prisoners, but they are mighty
scared of us and know what the
Yanks can do.
Geo. A~bercrombie wenttto the hos
pital just after we went to the front
he was troubled with boils and had
one on his knee and could hardly
walk. 1 expect him back any day
now. The other boys are all With US
except Adam Bannack, who was shot
in the leg the day we went over the
top but he will be back in a short
itime as he was not seriously hurt.

Bismarck, N. D., July 17.-The

other day in u. S. district court, and
it is not probable that this evening

bonds were produced in court yester-
day to the amount Of $65,000 or more.
and it was. testified that the defendant
had purchased 28 per cent of all the

R. L. STOCKARD
FOR REELECTION
TO STATE SENATE

In another column Of this weeks
issue Of the News will be found the
announcement of Hon. R. L. Stockard
as a candidate to succeed himself as
State Senator. Mr.. Stockard has
shown his worth as representative
Of the Twenty-sixth Senatorial Dis
trict. and if he is returned to office
his previous record will be enlarged
by his activity to try to reduce the
annual expense of the State which is
a large item. During his last term
o. office he not only rendered fsil :
full and efficient service but was
classed among the most efficient SEN
ators sent up from any district. Mr.,
S5ockard is we'll known and we'll
thought of in political circles and is
a very Influential gentleman. The
voters could not do better than to re-
turn him to the Senate for another
term Of office as he will undoubtedly
prove of great value, and the State
at this critical time needs a man Of
value to represent the people from
every district. II he is returned he
will do his best to give the State the
best services of which he is capable.
Whiteville News.
The Chronicle endorses every word
Of the above tribute to our esteemed
countryman. We take the position
that as Democrats of the Twenty
sixth Senatorial District We should
support Senator Stockard on the same
grounds that we are called upon to
support Senator Shields and Repre-
sentative Sims. They have have all
made good, SO to speak, and justly
entitled to endorsement.
Mr.. Stockard rendered faithful and
efficient service while member Of
the State Senate. He was not only
careful and painstaking, but he stood
for retrenchment and reform in our
State governmental affairs. matter
which deserves the attention of the
law making body of Tennessee.
The appointive power has run ram
pant without pause or hindrance.
The official roster of the General
Assembly and the various State de-
partments need vigorous pruning;
there are many sinkholes and quag-
mires to be filled in order to curtall
the constant drain of the State Treas
ury. Mr.. Stockard can be depended
on to use his best efforts toward re-
ducing the expense Of our State gov
ernment.
In urging our people to give Mr..
Stockard their endorsement, we do so
without any purpose to disparage the
character or qualifications of those
who oppose him for the nomination.
Reports coming in clearly indicate
that the voters Of the district have
made up their mind to, return Mr..
Stockard to the senate, and The
Chronicle moves that we make it un-
animous.
