KAMPLIN SAYS
HE HAS QUOTED
LEMKE SQUARE
Divide County Soldier Makes
Affidavit Supporting For
mer Statement.

Bismarck, N. d., Aug. 2s.-R. ].
Kamplin, recently returned from
overseas service with the American
army, in trying to obtain official
sanction for a paper to be printed IN
the interests of, the American Legion
posts in North Dakota. stated that
during an interview with William
Lemke on that subject, Iemke said:
THE American Legion is controlled
by Wall street and is composed
mostly of officers"
When this interview n statement
by Kamplin was printed, Lemke m
mediately made a vigorous denial.
Members of the American Legion all
over the state were incensed at the
alleged slur cast on their organization.
In view of the fact that the Legion Is
composed wholly of men who fought
in the late var in the army, navy or
marine corps, and has 1000 posts all
felt that it was an unwarranted at
tack on what they consider the great
est organization in America, and also
an affront to the nag and country,
both of which form h backbone of
the Legion.
Full publicity was given to Lemke's
denial. which, when brought to
Kamplin's attention, ELECTED the fol-
lowing affidavit:

PRATER WOULD
PICK FAT PLUM.
Land Commissioners Feels
That Industrial Cornmis-
sion Needs Him.

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 2S.-William
j. Prater, who is to be relieved from
the office Of land commissioner Sep
1, returned yesterday from a
twenty-five days absence from his Of
fetal duties.
Mr.. Prater, who will be succeeded
by A. ID. Gunderson of jamestown,
formerly chief accountant at the state
hospital for the insane and a soldier
who served his country we'll in
France, is low an active candidate for
the sscretaryship Of the state indus
trial commission, which will be va
Gated September 1 by oliver S. Nor
ris, who wishes to devote all of his
time to the editorship of the National
Nonpartisan Leader at st. Paul.
Frazier Not Enthusiastic.
Mr.. Prater's candidacy, it is under
stood, is not received with open en-
thusiasm by Governor Frazier, who is
chairman of the board. Attorney
General LANCER, a second member Of
strong for Prater. 1t is not known
how Commissioner John N. Hagen,
the third member of the commission,
stands ON this proposition.
Governor Frazier, it Is said, was
heard to remark when Prater's candi-
dacy for the industrial commission
ship was first mentioned, that the
land commissioner was more of a liza
bility than an asset. If this is true
it is the most unkindest cut Of all, for
Mr.. Prater has attended the guve9~
nor's church, spent all of his spare
time, of which he has seemed to have
plenty, in the governors Office, and
generally paid consistent homage to
the throne.
The secretaryship Of the, industrial
commission pays $500 per annum
The job is said to appeal to Johnny
Brown, who receives only $4,000 as
secretary of the workmen's conpen-
sation bureau. There are others in
league ranks who seem inclined to
feel that the job shouldn't go to a
professional politician at all, but
should be offered someone of genuine
ability who has not heretofore been
attached to the state payroll.

Qualifying.

When william Howard Taft became
President Of this enterprising nation,
he. was besieged by visitors from his
home State, Ohio, who wanted govern
ment jobs. They deserved these jobs,
of course, because they were good
Republicans-but chiefly because they
were born in the same commonwealth
with the President.
One man with a spring halt and a
cast in his right eye smuggled him
self past all the guards and secretaries
and got into the private Office of Mr.
Taft. He asked the President to make
him Secretary of Agriculture. Mr.
Taft asked some leading questions, and
discovered that the visitor was sign
painter from East Liverpool-the lead
ing sign-painter there.
But" said the President, don't you
know that We give jobs like that only
to big men?"
"Well," responded the sign-painter,
"I'll be a big man if get the job, won't

Eddie" Guest, the Michigan poet,
tells this one about a Detroit preacher
who had accepted an invitation 10 con-
duct funeral service in Saginaw or
some place. AT the last minute he
found he could not come, suggesting
that a local minister be secured.
A minute man was found in the per-
son of Methodist preacher, who had
time only to hang up the receiver,
jump into the kind that everybody runs
up in Michigan, and eat up the Saginaw
equivalent of boulevard. Arriving at
his destination he ran in and started
the service, without ascertaining,
among other facts so essential to a sue
cessful affair of this kind, a few of
the more important Biographical facts.
He was skilfully steering the course
of his discourse around these gaping
holes in his equipment, when he reach
ed the place where it was absolutely
necessary that he know the sex of the
deceased. Even on this point, however,
he stalled as long as he dared, until
in a fash of inspiration he leaned over
and whispered to the mourner nearest
him and asked,
Brother or sister ?"
Came back the noncommittal reply:

jurymen who failed to agree on a yer-

latter, when tie first jury disagreed,
that Mrs. Inch must not show her

else he would TASK the court to make

photographs of soIdiers' Graves.

Plans have been perfected by the
American Red Cross whereby photo
graphs Of the identified graves OF the
American soldiers in France will be
sent TO the relatives OF the heroes in
this country. Several hundred such
photographs have already been for
warded TO the families OF men who
died in service overseas, and an an
nouncement from Red Cross Head
quarters says that the work OF obtain
ing photographs has been speeded up
to the point where production from
now on is expected TO reach about
1000 every month. The photograph
is sent to the dead soldiers next kin.
The Red Cross has taken over the
task Of photographing the graves at
the request OF the War Department
and is acting under the authority OF
Lieutenant Colonel G. G. Pierce OF
the Graves Registration Service. The
headquarters OF the service is at Tours,
France. Each photograph is mount
ed in cardboard folding frome, one
side Of which contains data concern.
ing the dead soldier.
While all requests for such photo
graphs should be forwarded TO the
Bureau OF Communications Of the
American Red Cross, and not to the
Graves Registration Service OF the
army, such requests are not really nec-
essary and will not hurry the receipt
OF the photograph. Neither will spec
ial requests receive any special con-
sideration. Every identified grave In
France is to be photographed under a
~ worked put by the army and the
c.cgraphers will not be permitted
to deyiate from this arrangement in
order to take the picture OF any partic-
ular grave. The American Red Cross
will forward the photographs to rela-
tives as soon as they are received at
headquarters.
