With nearly every precinct reported, it is apparent that

But when it is taken into consideration that in 1916 they had
a majority of seventeen thousand, their drop to seven or eight
thousand can only mean one thing-defeat at the next cleo
ton. The evidence to substantiate such a claim is overwhelm-
ing. Counties like Mcintosh, Logan, Emmons and Morton,

ated the local League boss, Leslie Simpson, who, like most of
the local League bosses, is not a farmer. Burleigh county,
where the notorious Ed Patterson is the local boss, gave the
big League majority a year ago. They are now prominent
members of the Townley machine that pretends to fight for the
welfare of the farmers. The reputation of Simpson and the
narrow margin by which Patterson won shows that the farm
ers are gradually awakening to the true situation.
Governor Frazier received a very severe rundown in his
own county. No North Dakota governor ever before received
such an emphatic turn down.
Townley tried conclusions with LANCER in the latter's own
county (Morton). The result was disastrous to Townley. A
League majority OF eight hundred was turned into a Townley
defeat by one hundred and fifty voters.
The six Red River Valley counties are lined up solidlv
against the League and will never return to the Townley fold.
Sargent county, the home of Weber, who was Illegally
unseated by the Leaguers in the last house in order to make

TUSKEGEE TRAINING
COLORED SOLDIERS
Disabled in the War, These Three Vet

Washington, d. G., July 2.--Whether
your left eye is gone, or your right hand
is shattered, or your left arm stiff, you
still have a chance to realize that ambi-
ton that has been knocking at the back
of your head all of your life.
This was the decision of three colored
soldiers who fought valiantly and were
discharged from the army disabled. Two
of them had been born and raised on the
farm, and they wanted to go back to it,
but they wanted to go back prepared to
be good, scientific farmers. That is what
Tuskegee and the federal board for vo
cational education is doing for them now.
The other one had dreamed Of ma.
chimes from the time he stood wide eyed
around the first automobile that came

motor mechanics and getting nearer and
nearer his idea

cation, headquarters at 200 New Jersey

Sugar Shortage in Brattleboro.

Brattleboro's reserve stock of granu-
lated sugar is entirely exhausted with
the exception of what few barrels are
carried in the retail grocery stores. The
Dewitt Grocery Co. and f. Crosby &
Co., wholesalers, have been out of granu-
lated sugar several days and all that
certain retailers have in stock is what
they have been able to borrow from
other dealers. The shortage is not yet
acute enough to warrant placing the
sugar sales on a ration basis as was done
during the war, but such a course may
be necessary unless additional supply is
received within few days.
G.. r. Crosby, head of the wholesale
house of T.. Crosby & Co., said that five
carloads of sugar had been promised his
firm by the refineries, the first to be
shipped July 10 and he thinks that by
July Is there should be plenty of sugar
for everybody. The Dewitt Grocery Co.
has only confectioner's sugar in stock.
A carload was promised this firm June
is, but it has not been shipped yet.
One of the reasons given for the short
age is that large quantities have been
shipped abroad. Another is that on ac-
count of the foreign shipments during
the war the refneries were unable to ac-
cumulate surplus for the canning sea
son and the beginning of the canning
season has made unusual demands upon
the production. In any event the re-
fineries are behind in their orders, but
with the exercise of little wartime
economy it is believed that the present
emergency can be bridged without Sc
rious inconvenience.
In several of the towns around Brat
tleboro no sugar is to be had at the gro
Gerry stores.

Rome, July 2.-Critical comment OF

Seven months ago an immense halo
of popularity surrounded President viii

era of history, while now he leaves
amidst almost general indifference, ap-
pearing as an intruder in our continental

our sacred ideals.
ut has been psychological drama, as
President Wilson believes, perhaps sin
cerely, that he incarnated not only the
aspirations of America, but also the as
pirations of Europe. Instead, President
Wilson, despite his pure intentions,
failed of his object. He returns to Amer
lea, leaving behind him chaos of disor-
der, passions and disillusions, since he
could not conclude peace according to
his principles, but made compromise
brought about by the overbesring atti-
tude of the strong toward the weak"
