political primer.

Are the Nonpartisan league candi-
dats. for state office to be found on a
Nonpartisan ballot?
No. The Nonpartisan league candi-
dates, from Lindbergh down, have
filed on the republican ticket.
Does that mean that the names Of
both Governor Burnquist and Lind
bergh appear on the republican ballot?
Yes. The Townleyites are aiming
to capture control Of the republican
party.
In order to vote against Lindbergh
and the other Townleyites, what is
necessary?
The voter must call for republican
ballot when he goes to the polls. On
that ballot he will find the names of
the loyal candidates and the names of
the Townleyites. He must vote for
Governor Burnquist and the other 10y
alists. Only by. so doing will he be
casting an effective vote against Lind
bergh.
Will the voter get Nonpartisan
ballot?
Yes. But the Nonpartisan ballot
has nothing to do with the Nonpartisan
league. The. Nonpartisan ballot con-
tains the names of candidates who
have filed for county, legislative and
judicial offices.
What about the Democratic ballot?

Billy Sunday is said to be saving.
the souls Of hundreds of miserable
sinners in the Zenith city-at least
they are crowding the mourners' bench
and being converted to the faith. The
great trouble with this conversion
stuff is that it merely acts temporarily
as a camouhage for reprobates, es-
pecially when applied by itinerant gos-
pei mountebanks. Even before such
professed converters. leave town a
large percentage Of those who have
pledged themselves to abandon their
evil ways return to their paths of sin.
Sunday should confne himself to
tongue-lashing the kaiser and punch
ing the heads of disloyalsts.

The Grand Forks Herald says that
"Lindbergh has written his own record
and that che has put it in the form of
a book" But that record, it seems,
did not exactly suit his fancy and he
endeavored to withdraw the book from
circulation. He was, however, too
late-the newspapers had already
given the story to the public and Lind
bergh is consequently much cast
down

There is not patriotic line or a patri-

state, of Minnesota. It is unthinkable.

the country is facing the danger Of
war, there would be no dissenting

just as possible. Loyalty demands Of

of Philadelphia in 1917, according to
the annual report issued to-day, aggre-
gated $1,015,000. Net earnings were

the capital stock, enabling the bank to
clear up the accumulated dividends
from July 1, 1915, to June 80, 1917,
amounting to $622,160. The rate of
earnings rose steadily throughout the
year, and in December were at the

Der banks comprised 68 per cent of
the total operations, and bills bought
26 per cent. In the previous year bills
discounted comprised only 26 per cent

Cotton Prices

Moves Violently

Very violent and rapid price move

again yesterday, but the general trend
was upward. as the result of unfa-

indicating that stocks of spot cotton
were smaller and more strongly held
than had been generally supposed Re-

increasing nervousness over the new
crop start was evident from the omen
lng Relatively firm cables and the
more favorable wa.' news were also
factors, but the tullish views r,ost in
evidence seemed to be based on the

an an un1avorable weekly report from the
Weatner Bureau to-day. First prices
were 80 to S5 points higher, and after
some irregularity active deliveries
sold IS TO 90 points above MONDAYS
closing figures. There was buying for
reaction as we'll as covering on this
advance, but the movement was
checked by reports from Washington
that congressman were receiving peti-
tons from the South to close ex
changes for the duration of the war.
This caused a renewal of heavy general
selling, and there was a quick break
OF about 90 to 95 POINTS, but later re-
ports claimed there was little prospect
tor any, immediate legislation against
the exchanges, and the market soon

Why Steel Weakened

Steel commons relapse yesterday
after the early display of strength that
carried it to 96h was attributed to
heavy selling on the part of we'll
known operator who was recently
credited with having accumulated a
line of long stock out of profits won
on the short side in cotton. This
trader, the story ran, had been com
PEELED to liquidate a portion of his
account to meet his subscriptions to
the third Liberty Loan and had found
opportune moment for doing this
on the opening bulge in prices. What
ever the real source of the selling in
Steel common, the heavy volume of
stock offered effectually checked the
bullish operations in that issue and
it sold off to 93& by midday, closing

Steel's reaction was an adverse infu-
ence on the rest of the list.
Farmers Loan Leads French Banks
American banking institutions are
rapidly assuming a position of promi-

volume of business handled by them
as fiscal agents of the United States
government and in connection with
financing of transactions for American
soldiers making up the expeditionary
forces over there. AS matter of fact
the Farmers Loan g. Trust Company
of New York in March actually cleared
more business through the Paris Clear
ing House than any of the French mem
bers. The American institution had
