RETURNS ARE NEAGER
Governor Frazier Apparently
Wins in North Dakota.
Supporters of Nonpartisan League
Claim Election of Congress
sionai Candidate.

Fargo, N D., Nov. 6. = Scattering
returns from city and county pre-
cincts in all parts of the state indicate
the re election of Governor Lynn j.
Frazier and all his associates, sup
porters of the Nonpartisan league
claim
According to these sources, John M.
Baer, in the First district, George M.
Young in the Second, and J. H. Sin
clair in the Third have been elected,
but returns are meager. The fate of
the 10 constitutional amendments is
still in doubt.
The total vote probably will not far
exceed 100000, reports from the west
ern part Of the state indicating that
the influenza epidemic has materially
reduced the vote.
At Nonpartisan league headquarters
it was predicted that Governor Frazier
would get at least $4,000 votes.

1t is evident from the vote in the
solid south that the people there have
not forgotten the fact that the repub-
lican party was the party Of Lincoln !;
the party that freed the slaves. AS
long as the democrats there hold their
grudge against the republican party
and refuse to be fair the democratic
party will continue to be sectional and
unfair to the other parts of the nation
in its policies. 1t cannot be any other
way. 1t is time the south woke up to
the fact that the civil war is over, and
that the republican party, in presery-
ing the union and freeing the slaves.
was on the side of the democracy and
humanity which we have been fight
ing for. The northern states have
demonstrated their fairness as be-
tween the parties and such thing as
a solid north is as unthinkable as it
is undesirable.
AS long as there is a ''sOlid south"
it will be a handicap to the democratic
party as a constructive organization.

MILITARY TRIAL FOR
LESLIE KRUGER
United States District Attorney Says
No Trial i'm Federal
Court

f5uIlen and morose, Leslie Kruger,
sits IN cell in the jail at La Crosse,
awaiting trial in United States court
rs an army service evader and ignOr-
ant OF the fact that United States
District Attorney A. c. Wolfe is con-
sidering turning him over to the mill
tary authorities to be tried and SEN
.enced as an army deserter.
This case, in my opinion, merits
the most severe penalty which can be
invoked said Mr. Wolfe. Leslie
Kruger is one of the four brothers
who not only opposed the draft laws
Of the country in time of war but, by
force of arms, resisted the serving Of
warrants by federal officers. In the
battle which followed at their home
near Withee, one civilian was killed
and several wounded. Ennis Kruger
was killed later while resisting ar
rest.
Leslie Kruger registered June 5,
1917, for army service and later was
ordered to report to his local board for
service. He failed to heed the sum
mons Of the draft board and never
donned a khaki uniform. There is no
United States statute under which he
can he tried for murder. The military
authorities however, can try him as a
leserter and if the evidence warrants
he can be made to pay the supreme
penalty of this offense in time Of war.
II will recommend to the attorney
general that his case be taken in
charge by military authorities and, if
this suggestion is concurred in, he will
rot be tried at this term of United
States court nor will he be indicted by
the federal grand jury in session
here. Owen Enterprise.

Hundreds of thousands of republi-
cans who refused to take Wilson's die
tatiOn and who believe he received a
deserved rebuke Tuesday, at the same
time believe he has made mighty
efficient president and statesman in
most particulars. Independence Of
thought is an American characteristic
and had Wilson kept out of the fight
the results III several states might
have been different. However, parti-
san fealty is a hard thing to disre-
gard in election time and doubtless
Wilson's friends importuned him so
strongly that he got into the fight in
spite of personal misgivings, if the
truth was known.
With both parties of about even
strength in Congress and straining
every nerve to win the approval OF
the country in 1920; the problems of
reconstruction will be met more sat
isfactorily no doubt than if either
party had overwhelming control.
And the republicans will be just as
conspicuous, we believe, in working
with the president for constructive
legislation to restore normal cOndi-
tions as they have been to back him
up and go ahead of him in some in
stances in measures to insure efficient
conduct of the war.

soldier congressman, Royal G. Johnson,
was leading by a good majority.
The race in the Third district was
close, according to the very meager

There will be rustling through the front line

along.
In his hands will be great steaming pots: in
his pocket chocolate and cigarettes.
From one man to another he will go, passing
cup full of hot coffee to hands that tremble with
the cold; bringing the comfort Of bit of sweet
and smoke.
Men will hail him cheerily, slapping him on
the back; and when he has gone things will be
little easier in that trench because he has passed
that way.
How much will it cost to make that rip-do
you SUPPOSE? Counting the plttance that the
Secretary is paid, and the cost Of the chocolate
and the cigarettes and all?
Five dollars? Twenty-Five dollars? do not
know.
But whether it is FIVE dollars or twenty five,
I'd like to think that it is my FIVE or twenty-five
-wouldn't you? That some night when its cold
and lonesome, my money and yours might send
Secretary out along that front line trench.
Let's make up our minds that we are going to
pay for a score of those trips. score OF the

T$IEY climb aboard their loaded
truck at sundown, fifteen miles
a. behind the lines. They rumble
through the winding streets, out on the
white road that leads to Germany
The man at the wheel used to be
broker in Philadelphia. Beside him sits
an accountant from Chicago. A news
paper man from the Pacific Coast is
the third. Now they all wear the uni
form Of one of these organizations.
The road sweeps round a village and
on a tree is nailed sign: Attention.
L'Ennemi Vous Volt! The Enemy
Sees Your
They glance far up ahead and there,
suspended in the evening light, they see
a Hun balloon.
"Say, we can see him plain tonight"
murmurs the accountant from Chicago.
And don't forget" replies the Phila-
delphia broker, that he can see us just
as plain. "
The packing cases creak and groan,
the truck plods on-straight toward that
hanging menace.
They reach another village where
hears of stone stand under Crunnpled
walls.
Then UP they 60, through the strange
Silence broken only when great pro-

They reach turn. They take it.
They face a heavy incline. For half
q mile it stretches and they know the
Germans have the range of every inch
oiit. The mountain over there is where
the big Boches' guns are fired. This
incline is their target.
The three men on the truck bring up
their gas masks to the alert, settle their
steel helmets closer on their heads.
At first the cannon holds its speed.
Then it slackens off. The driver grabs
his eear-sI1ift, kicks out his clutch. The
engine heaves- and heaves- stalls!

When the Engine Stalls on
Dead Mans Curve!

"Wh-r-r-ooml" That one was close
behind. The fragments Of the shell are
rafting on the truck.
Now shells are falling, further back
along the road. And the driver feels
the summit as his wheels begin to pick
up speed.
Straight down a village street in
which the buildings are only skeletons
of buildings. He wheels into the court
yard of great shell-torn chateau.
"We1l, you made it again I see!" says
smiling face under tin hat-a face
that used to look out over congrega-
ton in Rochester.
"Yepl" says the driver glancing at
his watch. "And we came up Dead
Mans Curve in less than three minutes

Later that night two Americanboys
fresh from the trenches bordering that
shattered town, stumble up the stairs
of the chateau, into sandbagged room
where the Rochester minister has his
canteen.
Get any supplies tonight" they ask.
"You betI didl" is the answer, What
will you have?"

You hear that up and down the front,
a dozen times night What would
we do without them?"
Men and women in these orgariza-
tons are rislzing their lives tonight to
carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks
and carnionettes are creeping up as close
as any transportation is permitted.
From there these people are carrying
up to the gun-nests, through woods.
across open fields, into the trenches.
The boys are being served wherever
they go. Things to eat, things to read.
things to smoke, are being carried up
everywhere along the line.

Billie Burke GENERIC the Colonial
Mondayin Ewes Daughter"
Brought III In the Very str.ctest of
families, Irene Simpson Bates has
somehow managed to- blossom into
winson1e loyable girlhood in spite of
the strict though unnecessary pov-
crty and sordidness.-fo her father
is a millionaire--in which she has
lived.
She chafes at the CALLING restraint
placed on her by her father, to which
the rest of her family has passively
submitted, but which she feels the
more bitterly for having inherited her
fathers strong will. He seems to
believe himself chosen disciple Of
the Lord, debating the smallest de-
tails of his family.
Following a violet quarrel between
father and Irene, he is stricken with
heart failure and dies. The girls and
their mother can hardly credit their
own freedom. and believe that he will
at least have left them his money to
compensate for the years of servitude
| to his will. They are disappointed,
however. for it develops that he has
left them mere fifteen thousand
apiece.
Irene. not to be cheated of her
heritage of happiness, decides to
spend it all in one final fling before
she settles down to a life Of work-or
Trather she does not think Of the flu
turc at all, but resolves to enjoy the
bit Of happiness life has meted out.
| With this end in view che rents a

frocks for herself and experiences all

of attractive men which her beauty

whom she supposes immensely

During her, gay life with these
friends Irene is seeing her old friend
and adnirer,. John Norton. more and
more seldom. The latter, distrusts
her new friends and is fearful Of dis
aster from her extravagances. More
than once he has made up an over
drawn account without her knowl-
edge. More than once. also, his pro-
posals Ct marriage have been half
laughingly, half seriously rejected.
In the meantime. Irene's mother,
freed from the shackles which have
bound her so many years has almost
literally bought herself a husband
thirty years her junior in spite of
the protests of her daughters, and
the girls feel themselves more than
ever dependent upon their own re-
souKecs. This strengthens Irene's
deterrination to enjoy life while she
may to the fullest measure. 8s
Irene's money does not last long at
