ed.
Secretary George N. .Kenston of the
Bismarck Commercial club,~ who is
vice president of the National Parks
Highway association, estimates that
this route will attract 10000 tourists
during the current year. He points
to the fact that in 1917 and 1918, de.
spite the war. approximately 10000
cars used the trail to it's full extent
from Chicago to the Pacific coast.
The initiative taken by Burleigl
and Morton county commissioners to
provide a wagon bridge over the Big
Missouri is attracting much attention
to this important trail and winnig
general commendation. Fred A.
Adams, travelling secretary of the as
sociation, will be here from Spokane

vention. He is making a. tour of'the
highway by auto. gt1azGt

William Lenlke, described by Asso.
ciate Justice Robinson as the bishop
OF the Nanpartisan league, fears that
the Union is threatened by Serious
trouble" Writing a Nonpartisan
Lacquer in the northern part of the
state who asked information as to the
amount of travelling expenses which
the league paid Karl Kositzky. state
auditor, during the last campaign, Mr.
Lemke states that the league actually
paid Karl only $50 to cover the ex-
pense of South Dakota tour made in
the interests of The league.
He dismisses the Courier News edi
torial against Kositzky as insignifi-
cant, howeker. This matter, how
ever, is very trivial says Bishop
Lemke, under date of April 20. The
thing to which I'VE wish to direct our
energy and attention during the com.
ing campaign is not the fact that
Karl Kositzky is hard up or is receiv-
help from the opposition to carry on
his campaign of misrepresentation,
but we are interested in bringing be-
fore the whole league pro
fore the people the whole lagu pro-
gram-th most progressive piece Of
