North Dakota has had league gov
ernOr, league house OF representa-
tives and a league officer in every ad-
ministrative position except that OF
treasurer The present hold-over SEN
ate is controlled by the independent
faction/ which prevented the present
administration from :eing an exact
demonstration of league supremacy.
Beginning January /, 1919, barring
rally on the part Of the Independent
republicans and democrats which will
enable them to capture the governor
ship, or, what is more improbable, ~
of the "a senators to be elected next
fall. North Dakota will see a real
league administration. Some are look
ing forward to this time with fear and
trembling, suspicious of results. 9th.
ers are looking forward to January l.,
1919, as the dawn of the millennium,
when the farmer will come into his
own, and the common people will get
what is coming to them. e.# #
