| wish I could talk to you, there is
so much to be said, but | believe what
! have told you will show you how
much they are doing the farmers of
this state and not how much they
have done for them.
My advice to you is to stick to the
old parties, and keep away from this
grating scheme called the non-parti-
san league. l never voted a demo-
cratic ballot in my life, but | am go
ing to vote for every democrat on
the ballot this fall, as our only hope
is to elect democratic governor, to
save the state from financial ruin
for years to come. If l could
sell everything | have in this state
| would certainly do it and move
out, but everything is, SO up in the
air, that it is impossible to sell any
thing, as people who have money do
not care to invest in North Dakota,
after they see what is going to hap
pen. | expect to go into an officers
training camp, at Camp Pike, Arkan-
sas about the 10Th of next month.
Give my regards to all my relatives
and friends. Let me hear from you
again.
Yours truly,
(Signed) w. A. CAIRNS.
N. Remember, the league is
democratic in a state, in which the
democrats have control and republi-
can in republican states, they have
stolen the republican party of this
state, or the name rather and there
are only two parties, the league and
the democratic party.

ASKS FOR DIVORCE
WIFE OF INTERNED ALIEN
ENEMY SEEKS TO HAVE
MARRIAGE ANNULLED,
{ CRUElTY is ALL { GED
Plaintiff Sets Out That Husband
Has Caused Friends and Neigh
bors to Hold Her Up to Ridicule,
Scorn and Disrespect.

The statute of the State of Okla
homa, in defining grounds for di-
vorce, names extreme cruelty. IN
der this allegation many and varied
specifications have been set up by
divorce lawyers, but the case OF Lu-
cile Tietgens, who filed 4 petition
asking that she be divorced from
her husband, Carl TietgenS. She al
leges in her petition that they were
married al Ardmore, Dec. "a, 1910,
and have two children, aged 7 and
? IL yeaFs, respectively.
Mrs. Tietgens alleges that she has
not lived with her husband, as his
wife, since Feb. II, 1918. on which
date the defendant was interned as
an alien enemy of the United States
government. She. alleges that she
has begged and pleaded with him to
become a naturalized citizen OF the
United States, but that he has re-
fused and still refuses to do so. She
alleges that she was born and reared
as a citizen of the United States and
that all her efforts. wishes and de-
sires are on the side of the United
States during the present war; that
the defendant is a German by birth
and by reason of his internment
has shown his disloyalty to the
government of this plaintiff and by
reason thereof the treatment of the
defendant toward her has been un-
usually cruel and inhumane and he
has caused the friends and neighbors
of the plaintiff to hold her up to ridi-
cule and scorn and disrespect. She
asks for the custody of their two
minor children.
The defendant has filed a state
ment in writing in which he valves
the service and process of summons,
enters his appearance and agrees
that the court may hear and deter
mine the case at any time. The
waiver does not disclose the place
where it was executed, but letter
it tells that it came
from a point in Utah. His signature
is witnessed by William II. Gormley
and Walter J. Gillespie.
