Democrats Attempt
To Get On Burleigh
Ballots By Court Route

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. Ed. S..
Allen, representing the Burleigh
county Democratic committee, brought
the county auditor before the supreme
court yesterday afternoon under a
writ of mandamus directing that he
show cause why the Democratic
county ticket should not be placed on
the ballot. Auditor T. e. Flaherty.
acting under an opinion from the at
ballot all Democratic candidates for
office except the three legislative nom-
inees, the four candidates for justice
of the peace and the candidate for
sheriff on the grounds hat the other
nominees at the primaries did mot poll
rs per cent Of the vote cast for gov
ernor, secretary Of state and attorney
general by their party. in the last gen.
eral election.
Attorney Allen argued that the act
of 1913 Under which the attorney gen.
erals ruling was made was not con-
stitutional. He cited an opinion Of the
supreme court in 1910 holding that
the old provision requiring for nomi-
nation 80 per lei Of the vote cast for
the secretary of state was unconstitu-
final, and he recalled the fact that
Governor Burke. had, vetoed on the
same grounds an act. of 1911 making
the vote, for governor, attorney gen.
eral and secretary of state the nomi-
mating basis. The present act, passed
in 1913, is not constitutional for the
who . cited instances to show the in
Gequalities which would result from
using such a basis for the nomination
of party candidates. The plan is
wholly lacking in uniformity, the
counsel for the petitioners commended.

Lemke Is Already On
Defensive; 1t Was Not
Introduced, He Says

Fargo, y. D.. Sept. 6.-"The story
sent out from Bismarck and printed
by several newspapers that the Re-
publican state convention yesterday
declined to consider a resolution en-
dorsing President Wilson and his war
policy is a complete falsehood out Of
whole cloth, said. William Lempke,
Republican state chairman last night.
"Other than the strong support Of
the national administration and OF
the nations effort in the val as con-
tanned in the text Of the resolutions
adopted there was NJ resolution in
troduced referring to the presidents
war policy or the war policy. of the
nation. +
There was but one resolution
brought before the resolutions COM
mittee which was not adopted. The
resolution vas one opposing the
adoption by the nation after the war
of a policy Of universal military
training and condemning, an organi-
cation said to be fostering that policy.
There was no reference to the preei-
dent. or his war policy in the resolu-
ton"

RESERVE
OF GREAT HELP
Shock Troops Accomplished
Work Of 5000 Full Time
Farm Laborers.

Fargo, N. D.. Sept. 6.-North Da-
kota city folks, who have gone into
the grain fields of, the state this year
as shockers and threshers. have &C
complished the work that at least g.
900 additional full time farm laborers
would have been required to handle,
according to Lindley H. Patten, d.
rector in charge Of North Dakota, for
the United States employment bur
Mr.: Patten, announcing today that
the state bureau had placed 5000
men during the month Of August on
farm work. called attention to the,
fact that there was a daily average
shortage Of men in North Dakota of
5000, and he points to the fact that
the farm work has been done as in
'dicative Of the amount of labor
handled by city volunteers.
THE city labor reserve system
has worked out to splendid ad-
vantage" said Mr.. Patten today.
"Ths. crop has been harvested, and
the state are cleaning up their
threshing very rapidly. AS the work
in the south half Of the state is taken
care of, the laborers will gradually
move to the northern part of the
state, where threshing is somewhat
later. "This year there are more
threshing machines in the state than
ever before. 1t was supposed that
the greater number Of machines,
manned by smaller crews, would SIM
plify the labor problem, but all own
ers Of machines apparently wanted
full crews, with the result that the
demand for men has, been heavier
than usual.
With the fixed price Of wheat, the
farmers are anxious to get their
wheat threshed,. and get at their fall
blowing, some Of which already has
been commenced. There is no object

The rail board ascribes the car

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 6.-How the

in the following letter, written onfthe

very doubtful whether or not we
can control the Democrat party
organization. It is, therefore, of
the utmost importance that you,
- as Democrat state central COM
mitteeman of your district, attend
the Bismarck meeting.
A stated in a previous letter to
you, 1t Is not contemplated hat
the use of proxies will be allowed
However, we understand that the
opposition are counting on proxies
to control the meeting, and i'm or
der to make sure Of our position
ana IN case IL is Impossible LOT
you to be present in person in
Bismarck on September 4, we ask
that you sign and return the en-
closed proxy to u at once. If
you can be present in person, do
not bother with the proxy, but If
it is absolutely impossible for you
to attend, kindly send the proxy
to us by return mail, so,that we
can use 1t in case of necessity in
helping to elect a good league
mar as Democrat state chairman.
We trust this matter will have
your prompt attention. Enclosed
