Totten Says He Voted At
Bowman And Not AT Fargo

Fargo. N. D., July $50 far az I
am informed, my right to sit on the
state board of regents has been
questioned by anyone except the
Grand Forks Herald, and that paper
has taken pains not to inform itself
as to the facts affecting the situation
said George A. Totten, ST., of Bow
appearing in that paper under a Bis
nlarck date-line, in ar interview with
the Townley daily here.
The Herald story says that because
Mr.. Totten voted in Fargo at the re-
cent primary his legal right to sit on
the board Of regents has been Ques-
toned. It also say that the act Gre
ating the board of regents provides
that not more than two members shall
be named from one congressional dis
trict. n that. with Regents Muir of
sarles and Taylor of Grand Forks on
the board from the First district, there
is no room for MI. Totten. from the
same district assuming that he voted
in Fargo, which would establish his
legal residence there.
There is only one fault to be found
with this statement" said MI. Totten,
"and while the Herald may not con-
slider it very material, it certainly
changes the matter ome
@Ao d ieoAOeHL u bOWnan / was
present there on June &c, and voted
the Nonpartisan league ticket straight,
so it is impossible that I could have
beef in Fargo voting on the same day.
All that's the matter with the Herald's
story is that III isn't so. Otherwise It
is very interesting"
Mr.. Totten believes that the Her
AIDS Bismarck correspondent derived
his conclusion from the fact that
George A. Totten, Jr., his son, voted in
Fargo.

SUMMER TERM
AT MAYVlILE
STATE NORMAL
Many Of the Former Gradu-
ates are Taking Advant-
age Of This Course.

Mayville, N. d.. July e.-The 1918
summer, term at the state normal
school haS opened, with excellent
prospects for an efficient terms work.
The student body seems to be Of a
high order, with more than the ordi-
nary ability and promise. The work
is progressing regularly and the ma
chi.iery runs along as II the term had
been continuing for some time. The
former plan Of two ~recitations per day
is maintained but there is no review
work for certificates offered. This
last is in accord with the rulings of
the state boards of education and of
regents.
A gratifying feature Of this summer
school is the attendance Of q goodly
number Of former graduates of the
advanced courses. These persons ex-
pect to attend during the summer
sessions and thus to secure this ad-
vanced diploma. Holders of this di-
ploma from the five-year course for
eighth grade graduates OF the two
year course for high school graduates,
are entitled by law to a life certificate.
The new dormitory for women was
opened for the first time at the be-
ginning of this term and the young
women who are accommodated there
in are we'll pleased with the fine ac-
commodations. 1t is expected that
both this building and Palmer hall,
the other women's dormitory, will be
filled this coming fall.
The summer school students are in
terested in the Chautauqua which will
be opened in Mayville on July z and
held during five days. The daily pro-
gram at the normal will be SO ar
ranged as to complete the work of
the school day in time to permit all
students and teachers to attend all
C~hautauqua meetings.
